Government To cxtcrminAtc the institution of slave

. In 1889 the American people had the right t.
make Constitution prohibiting slavery 10 submit
1t 10 the several States for adoption and if they
had adopted it. il would have been blessing, No
body can doubt they had this right and If they ever
had il, they have STILL for they have lost none OF
their rights. So far from parting with IT, they have
expressly placed it IN the Constitution and provided
for change. II is provided for in double manner
first, by initiation of Congress and next 10y the ac-
zion of States Previous To our republican Govern
mcnt from the beginning Of the world there wa,
no way of altering governments but by the hayunnt
Changes from dcspotisms 10 monarchies and the
like had 10 be- accomplished by civil war But We
took this "national right Of revolution, and legal
lied IT. sanclhcd IT, in the fundamental organization
of the Government, and n, man need now talk
about the national right Of revolution by war There
is no such right in n republican government; we
have provided for changes in the Government in a
legal way without resort to arms; and there is no
moro right 10 revolution hy arms By our Govern
mcnt than there is 'or mob to prevent tho cNecu-
tion ui Il sentence imposed ly one If your Judges.
There is no legal cilrctual mode Of putting slavery
in the United States out of cyi,tsnce, bat 10y the
Amendment Of the Federal Constitution, and the
power L. make tmt amendment lies with the ucl-
pie, not Congress; aud ior my own part sincerely
hope they will make thot amendment Great al,-
plausc.l think the ,... thing you, as party, can
do, is 10 say You hope they will do H. loU may got
beaten By saying il, but your children will gain 10y
il. have been beaten many tmes, and know how
one feels uuIcr such cr,um,uncos
But rs tunodging and throwing Gust in peoples
eyes lc't you he beaten, have nothing tony against
It, and if ] can see any advantage resulting from II
after it is done will Use it, but will not lie for
the sake Of obtaining it.
But there is Il reason why You should not pass
such resolution. While / love America better
than love any other country in the world, | love
Kentucky better as the host part of America Now
what can Kentucky do to get ont Of this difficulty as
matter Of policy? Thirty years ago | mdor;ook
10 prove and think did prove, that underthc pres
ont Constitution Of Kentucky the power Of the State
is absolute those persons born AFTER the passage
of law in regard to them; that is that slavery ul-
tarhe' ON blrh and before, and that tho unborn
child is not Slave in that sense that il is beyond
the power Of the Constitution. The word slaves in
