Graded They carried the great lesson ol
wisdom with them, those children of the
Pilgrim fathers, who followed the setting
sun as he walked ia his Makers steps oI
fire. The first act of those pioneers Of
Western civilization was TO re-enact In the
light of New Englapd's example, as the
primal law Of the free Common wealths, that
all men should be free, and that no man
within their limits should be wrongfully
robbed either of his liberty or Of the pro-
duets of his own toll. and now, in the pres
ence OF the Representatives Of the. Com.
monwealihs of tie West, my colleague vol
unteers TO speak for them all, and tells us
and tells this country and the world that in
the event of the triumph of these rebels
and the disme mberment of the Union, all
of which he predicts and attempts to secure
by refusing to vote supplies of either men
or money in the cause Of the Union, and by
declaring and advising that your army be
disbanded, the free Northwest will bind her
self to that body of sin and death-the
rebel South. The gentleman argues and
daclares that in the event of disunion, the
free States of the Northwest, forgetful of
all that is brilliant in their past history, will
voluntarily, for the sake only of filthy lucre
bind themselves to those Southern traitors
against civil and religious liberty in this and
all lands.
! want to know, again, by what authority
he says that? stand here to tell him that
he SANDERS the free West. He says inter-
est will do it. Pray why? He says that
all the grain of that mighty region must
find its outlet through the Mississippi into
the Gulf Of Mexico. and that interest will
therefore bind the Northwest 10 the So-th-
ern rebel States. Is the free Northwest 10
cast her destiny, in the event of disunion,
with assassins and murderers for the sake
of gain? God forbid! Her people to-day
give the lie to the prophecy, and prove that
it is false. How many bushels of her grain
have found their market through the chan
nels of the lower Mississippi, pray, since
this rebellica began? Not one. How many
pounds of her beef and pork have found
their way to market through the channels
of the lower Mississippi river since this re-
belion began? Not one. Yet according
to the logic of the gentleman, the great
Northwest is so craven, 80 deeply irnbned
with the mercenary spirit of Judas, that
she would sell herself out to the rebels Of
Louisiana and Mississippi for the sake of
market for her products. Let the conduct
Of the Northwest answer the SANDER IfI
she had sought her gain simply, if she had
looked only to profitable returns for the
products of her fields, to the prosperity OF
her great industrial interests alone, accord |
ing to the logic Of the gentleman, she would
long ago have struck hands with the rebels,
instead Of sending out, as she has sent out.
