JUDGE RUFUS p. sPAULDING.
Judge R. P. Spalding, delegate
from the Ohio Black Republican Ma
tional Conventions of 1856 and 1860
made speech in the Convention o.
1856, which nominated Fremont, in
which he said:
In case Of the alternatives being presented
of the continuance OF slavery or the disolu
ton of the U uion, AM FOR DISSOLU :
TION; and l care not how quick it comes.
HON. HORACE MANN.
Hon. Horace Mann was once a
member of Congress and favorite
elder of the Black Republican church
We quote from his speech in the
House of Representatives:
have only to add, under full sense o.

God, deliberately say, BETTER DISUN-
anything that God in his Providence shall
send, than an extension Of the bonds OF sla
very.
SENATOR SUMNER. ..
Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts,,
in speech delivered in the Senate,
held this revolutionary language:
Already the muster has begun. The
strife IS no longer local, but national. Even
now while spead, portents hang on all
the arches OF the horizon, threatening to dar.
ken the broad land which already yawns
with the mu terings OF GIL WAR. The h1
ry oil the propagandists OF slavery, and the
calm determination of their opponents, are
now diffused from the distant territory over
wide spread communities, and the whole
country IN all its extent-marshaling hostile
divisions and foreshadowing a STRIFE, which
unless happily averted the triumph of free
dom, will become soar-ytratricidai, pa,rici-
War-war with an accumulated wickedness
beyond the wicksdness Of any war in human
annals.
W. H. SEWARD
Following in the same strain, Sew
ard, in his speech in the Senate, April
9, 1856, jeered the South with the
taunting menace that she should have
no repose, but that rifles and cannon
would take the place of words. Hear
him:
The solemnity o, the occasion draws over
our heads that cloud of disunon which al
ways arises whenever the subject OF slavery
is agitated. Still the debate goes on more
ardently, earnestly and angrily than ever be
before. 1t employs not now merely logic,
research, menace, and defiance, BUT SA>
BRES, RIFLES AND CANNON. Do you
look through this incipient war quiet to the
end, and see there peace quiet and harmony
on the subject Of slavery? II so, pray, en-
Tighten me, and show me how long the way
wch leads to that repose. He
who found river in his death, and sat down
to wait for the food to pass away, was not
more unwise than he who expects the agita-
ton ofslavery to cease, while the love OF lree-
dom animates the bosom Of mankind.
SEWARD RECOMMENDS DIsUNIoN.
After showing that this agitation
will lead to war between the North
and the South, Seward suggests to
the Pacific States that then would be
their time TO withdraw from the Union.
He continues: '-- '.
Then the free States and slave States OF
the Atlantic, divided and warning with each
other. would disgust the free States of the
Pacific, and they would have abundant cause
and justification for withdrawal from a u
MON productive no longer Of peace, safety and
liberty to themselves, and no longer of
holding up the cherished hopes of man
kind .......
Again, in his speech at Albany
Oct. 12, 1855, Seward said:
Slavery is not and never can be, perpe-
tual 1t will be overthrown either peaceful
ly and lawfully under the Constitution, or it
will work the subversioa of the Cons tuition,
together with its own overthrow. Then the
SHAREHOLDERS WOULD PERISH IN
THE STRUGGLE. .....a
Again, in his speech in the Senate,
March II, 1860, Seward threatens the
South with "civil war" unless they
emancipate their slaves. He said:
| When this answer shall be given it will ap.
pear that the question of dissolving the
Union is complex question, that embraces
the fearful issue whether the Union shall
stand, and slavery, under the steady peace.
full action of moral, social and politicle caus
es, be removed by gradual, voluntary effort,
and with compensation, or whether the
UNION SHALL BE DISSOLVED, and
civil war ensue, bringing on violent but
complete and immediate emancipation. We
are now arrived at the stage when that cris>
sis can be fore>een--when we must foresee
it. 1t is directly before us. Its shadow is
upon us. ua asE a..a..#
In plain words, Seward says to the
South: You can have Union and
gradual emancipation Of slavery, or
you shall have disunion, civil war and
immediate emancipation This, in
plain English, was his proposition.
HON. FRANCIS e. SPINNER.
Wen quote from q speech de-
livered in 1856, by the Hon. Francis
E. Spinner, now Register of the Treas
ury Department under Mr.. Chase:
Should this (the election of Mr.. Fremont)
iail, no true man would bc any longer sale
here from the assaults Of the arrogant slave
oligarchy, who would then rule with an iron
hand. For the free North would be left the
