has Jailed to elevate the inferior, but
has always degraded the superior
race. On the other hand, wherever
the purity OF the white race has been
pre- served, its superiority has contin

nent or elsewhere, has ever lowered
the standard OF the governing race.
For three quarters or \ century the
United States have led the van in al

Of the ahlest statesmen, not only Ol
our country, but of England-amohg
them Mr.. Canning, who, when the
British Parliament were considering
schemes kindred to those now Occu
nyinS the attention Of the Republican
party in This country, said:
In dealing witi the negro, sir, we must
remember that we are dealing with a being
possessing the form and strength Of man
but the intellect only Of child To turn
him loose in .he manhood of his phys ical
strength, in the maturity of his physical
passions, but in the infancy Of his unin.
;tructed reason, would be to raise upa crea.
ture resembling the splendid fiction of a
recent romance, the hero of which constructs
a human form, with all the corporeal capa-
bilites Of man, and with the thews and
sinews Of giant but, being unable TO i'm
part 10 the work Of his hand, perception
ofIight and wong, he finds too late that he
has only created more than mortal power
OF doing mischief, and himself recJils from
the monster he has made"
One Of their great statesmen of to-day
Lord John RUSSELL whenever he ulludes to
the black race in America, and TO q change
Of its itatuS, talks only Of very gradual
emancipation, because he knows that sud.
dea and unconditional emancipation woult
be destruction TO both the negro and the
white man. British statesmen opposed i'm,
mediate emancipation upon the ground o.
expedency alo ne. American statesmen
should oppose it, not only OH thlt ground
but also upon the ground that the COnstitu.
tion gives no power to interfere with the do.
mestic institutions OF the several States
no such power either in peace orin war.
But to reach the goal Of their hopes, the
Aboitionists Of thiscountry are willing tc
override expediency, the law, and the Con.
stitution--to destroy the Government itself
in order to emancipate at ence all the slaves
OF the South.
BULLETS FOR REBELs-BALLoTs FOR BOIL
TloNIsTs.
Sir, will not digress, but return to the
consideration ofthe solemn responsibilities
that are resting upon US. Our country is
menaced by secessionists in arms, rebels up
on one hand, and by Abolitionists nullifiers
ofthe laws and the Constitution, upon the
other. Sir, Ipropose bullets for the former,
ballots for the latter. These two classes
disposed Of, and there will be a return to
the prosperity, the peace and happiness Of
the earier days Of the Republic. Sir, these
armies were raised TO execute the laws and
maintain the authority OF the Constitution
in all the States. They are, sir, to suppress
armed viOlators Of thas instrument. And,
sir, it remains for the people at the ballot
box to suppress these Northern violators Of
the Constitution, il they would preserve the
rights and liberties Of American frsemen.
