This was the result Of six weeks operation

will get them now. In conclusions, let me
say one word. Lay aside in this struggle
that party strife heretofore demanded. and
unite upon this ground, that this Union and
this Constitution must be preserved aud
maintained, and let The negro take care Of
HIMSELF; and, if you want that done, don't
send any more Abolition members to Con.

SPEECH or HON. Mr.. cARLILE.
Hon. ]. s. Carlile then addressed the
Convention. We give The following cx-
tracts from his speech:
The subjugation or determination of the
South was impossible. A year ago large
Union element was there; now there was
solid sentiment Of permanent dissolution |;
and why? Because Congress BY IFS Iegisla.
tion diyerts war into an unholy and gigantic
crusade against the institutions of the South
He declared the man who said slavery and
the gOsernment were Incompatible virtually
pronounced the government failure, H.
belled the wisdom Of its founders, and was
traitor TO it. The Republican party, now in
power. and now waging the war, had so pro.
nouncrd through its hostile legislation to the
Constitution. Ii slavery and the rights OF
States must 20 down; If at tbe dietaiion Of
these men you surrender a constitutional
right, and deny or take from State the
right TO hold slaves, how soon may YOU be
called upon to surrender oterss' They
make negroes competent witnesses now in
the District. How seon will they demand
that it be done in Injiana? Ii you again
give these men your confidence, and return
them to Congress. you will all be made the
slaves Of centralized government. and no
one will pity or sympathize with you. He
said the interests Of the Western States
were with the Soulh. There was their grain
market" you have Northern market, the
same as ever; but your corn is rotting in
your granaries and you walk on the ruins Of
your prosperity. The wicked men Of the
North and The South have deprived you OF
your market, and these Northern men want
to wage a war that will forever deprive YOU
Of it," Freeing negfops WON'T make one.
Free The negroes. exterminate the whites,
and give the land 10 the Yankee Norway rats,
and you'll never have market there. In
diana was more interested than slave owners
themselves IN perpetuating slavery IN the
South. To free four millions blacks will be
to keep up taxation, increase debt, ruin pro.
perty, degrade our children, and make this
country second Mexico.
