human heart is with us! God is with
us. We shall again be able, not to de-
clare that all the States, as States, are
equal, nor yet, that all citizens, as citi-
zens, are equal but renew the broader,
better declaration, including both these
and much more, that all men are created
equal. Lncoha-.Speech. .dehuered Sept.

"What a commentary upon the his
tory of man is the fact that, eighteen
years after the death of John Quincy Ad-
ans, the people have for their standard
bearer, Abraham Lincoln, confessing the
obligations of the Higher Law which the
Sage of Quincy proclaimed, and conten-
ding for veal or woe, for life or death, in
the irrepressible conflict between freedom
and slavery. desire only to say that
we are in the last stage of the conflict, be-
fore the triumphal Inauguration of this
policy into the Government of the United
States. ''-Wm. II. Se,card

g No man has right to be surprised

attempted to bring about 1t is the first
sectional party ever organized in this
country. 1t does not know its own face
and calls itself national but it is not ma
tional-it is sectional. The Republican
party is the party of the North pledged
against the South. No act of our do we
regard with more conscientious approval

"Our Legislatures, State and Federal,
should raise the platform upon which our
free colored people stand; they should
give them full political rights to hold office
to vote, to sit on .juries, to give their tes-
timony, and to make no distinction be-
tween them and ourselves The instru-
ment called the Constitution, after pro-
uouncing all men fee and equal, and hay
ing equal rights, suffers slavery to exist,
free colored person to be denied all DO
litical rights, and after declaring that all
persons shall enjoy free intercourse with
the States, suffers the free negro to be
driven out of all, and excluded from such
rights. Deliver me from such an instru-
ment thus partial, thus unjust, that can
be perverted, and made to sanction preiu-
dices and party feelings, and note the ac-
cidental distinction of color ''-C Cassius N.
Clay

sented, of the continuation of slavery or
dissolution of the Union, am for disso-

=" detest slavery, and say unhesita-
