Slavery is abolished He would not admit that
if he could help it, Neither he nor any other
speaker parts willingly with the institution.
=" Most gladly" cxclaims Mr.. Langdon, would
vote for the substitute, if the institution could
thereby be saved" Of all acts looking toward
emancipation, he says, II agree that
those acts are all unconstitutional illegal
and atrociouS. We are not respon-
siblc for the act. l glory in the
fact that we yielded no principle till we were
compelled to. The Proclamation of the Presi-
dent and acts of Congress were unmtigated m
humanites. l denounced it as an atrocity,
and still believe that the Confederate Govern
ment did not adopt as severe measures as IL
should have done. say this to let men know
that for one don't yield Slavery willingly.
believe that Setting the slaves free III these
States will be put down as the blacklist act ever
performed" There is any quantity more OF the
same venomOus Outpour1ngS.
Now who believes that convention OF
which Mr. White and Mr.. Langdon are leaders
can mean to do justice to the freedmen, whose
emancipation, in their eyes, is crime OF the
blackest dycl Who believes that the State
loft under the guidance of such men, will allow
any real freedom for the blacks to exist within
its limits! Nor is this feeling of evaporation
against the negro and against the authors oil his
freedom the sole motive which controls the
policy of the Convention. Mr.. Langdon Dit'
terly hating emancipation as he does, yet tens
the Convention they must admit 1t formally
otherwise no chance Of readmisson and no other
means toward that political supremacy which
the pro-Slavery leaders expect to reestabiish
over the North. "The gentleman is mistaken
in thinking that we are conciliating the kadI'

also for our friends in the North, to enable
them to destroy the Radical party
We are obliged to Mr.. Langdon for letting

Words could not declare more explicitly that
the Democratic leaders at the North have notl'
fed their old allies that they must agree to some
show of emancipation to conclliate Northern
prejudice and to get back into Congress. once

crack the old plant alton whip in the same lively
style as before. 1--WE have not been dis

Needles to continue the quotations. What
Alabama cannot endure is simply the Freed
mems Bureau, or any other effort toward JUS
tice and protection by law for the negro. Abol-
iish that Bureau, Withdraw the United States
troops-as seems to be the present policy at
Washington-open the doors Of Congress to the
Alabama delegation, is to remit the negro to
such an unchecked despotism as this ordinance
imposes on him, and TO announce our acqules-
cence in policy that will not stop short OF the
determination of the black race.
