EXTRACTS FROM A SPEECH

EXTRACTS FROM A SPEECH
BY Y.PELEG sPRAGUE, LII. D.,
Delivered in Faneua Hall, Boston,
IN august, 1886, in Relation 10
ABOLITION.
Sir, said Mr., SpFague, the time
has come when the great body OF
the people, hitherto Silent upon this
delicate and momentous subject,
should come forward and express
their sentiments! Our brethren OF
the South are alarmed, deeply, pro-
foundly. Nor ought we to be sur.
prised that they are so. We know,
indeed, that the agitators here are
few, that even the whole number
of those wLo have permitted their
names to be enrolled in these soci-
eties is small, and l verify believe
that many of them disapprove the
violence Of :heir leaders, and that
more will do so when they contem.
plate the consequences of their
measures. But, seen from dis
tance, they appear to occupy the
whole field, and their incessant &C.
tivity produces an erroneous inn
preston of their strength and num-
bers. bon sIi lc I'D u r',
1t is most solemnly incumbent
upon us, then, to mako our opln,
ions and determinations known.
Before the adoption of tae Con.
stitution, the several States possess
ed no right whaever to interfere
with the domestic institution OF
each other, no more than we now
have to 60 into Canada or Nova
Scotia to break up the relation OF
officer and soldier in their regi-
ments, stimulating the latter to
mutiny. The Constitution gives
no such right, but, on the contra
| ry, intefposes the obligations OF
compact against all such interfel
renee. It recognizes and provides
for the continuance of the relation
Of mastersnd slave; it further pro.
vides for the suppression of ineur,

A Scrap Of HistOry---What George
Bio sfr BancrOftSays. e

4, We take the following extract from a
speech delivered by the great historian
at Union meeting in New York We
commend it to the attention of demo
Gratis in general and copperheads in par
ticular They will hardly dare call in
question the authority of Bancroft; or
if they do, it is because desperation
leaves them no alternative, and that they
have become impregnable to anything in
the shape of truth or reason. If they
reject Moses and the prophets they would
not believe though one rose from the
dead. But to the extract, Mr.. Bancroft
says: -a3 s,a. 1;.aaa sf -r ee +
"No sooner had the last Presidential
election passed over than those who sue
ceeded made every effort to allay excite
ment. A party had been formed that
seemed pledged to prohibit the introduc-
tion of slavery into the Territories, and
yet the men of that party, after deliber-
atlons, not in an unauthorized and insig-
nihcant peace Congress, so called, but in
the constitutional halls of legislation,
Joined in organizing the Territories of
the United States, without the restric-
ton in the fundamental law of any one
OF them, leaving the event to the action
OF natural causes
A motion was even made and counte-
nanced by intimate friends of the incom-
ing President to bring a vast territory
under the name of New Mexico, into the
Union. as an Independent State, without
any such restrictions and at time when
the municipal law of that Territory sus-
tanned slavery with an extravagant hy-
perbole of intolerance Nor were the
friends of the President wanting; in Civ
ing assurances that his administration
would be as little marked by hostility to
slavery as if the Chair had been occu-
pied by Madison or Henry Clay More
over the Generals of the President had
been loud in protesting their readiness
IN the midst of war, to pause in their
career and suppress any possible upris-
ing of slaves. But yet, under all these
circumstances, so infatuated was Slave
ry, that it still passionately pursued its
Iui Pooe' anu lor Ine Sake OF IOunQlnS
Confederacy on a basis on which no en-
during Government can rest, aimed a
blow that was intended to be fatal to the
country and to the liberty of men, The
war was under every aspect, forced upon
the Northern States; it was war from
which they could not escape. Had they
proved cravens they would have stood
before the powers of the earth of their
own day, and before all succeeding gem
erations, as men who betrayed their
country, and were recreant to freedom

FREEDOM NOT DEsIRABLE-Thc astute
copperhead sheet, the Boston Courier, declares
that freedom should not be desired by the
negro. Read its sagacious remark:
AS no white man ought to consent to be q
slave SO, In our opinion, no negro ought to
desire to be a free man in the United States
To this talk the Nashville (Tenn.) Uuion
thus sarcastically replies:
Certainly not. Itissheer presumtion in a ne
gro to wish to be free. The wish itself is wick.
ed; it is abominably SINFUL; it is atrociously
culpable, and deserves the greatest punishment
Imaginable. The fact that man with a fat
nose and black skin should desire to own him.
self or children evinces the extraordinary de-
pravity of the African race. 1t shows that he is
ignorant of his best interests. If he would
only mind his business he would soon fetch
$500 on the block. The wickedness of de-
string freedom in land of freedom will srike
everybody as being peculiarly simple Every
one csn see that as plainly as he can see that
the editor Of the Boston Courier is an ass.
