exhibit II as see IT, Others may not IL The
Chatham denounced no saw and history now
secs IT, or course Senators would not support
the present proposition If they thought It disgracefu
nor would the British Ministry have supported that
earlier proposition had they thought disgracsui Un
happily they did not think So But trust you will be
ham another from his place in the House OF Lords
denounced the slave system which at that time had the
sanction Of both Houses of Parliament ! refer to
Brougham He did not hesitate TO excaim 'Prodgious
portentous injustice" aud then, continuing, he ex
claimed again The gross he ioui .he ou,rs geons ,he
guilty toward the whole Of the Inflated African race "
But how small the injustice which aroused his
Grafton compared with that which You are now asked to
perpetuate in constitutional law. The crime which he
arraigned was against eight hundred thousand
pie Of Great Britain were bound by no m gratitude
and who were TO them only fellow The crime
which now arragn Is against -four millions OF persons
constituting considerable portion Of the people of tho
United States to whom bound bytes gratitude
and who are to us fellow citizens From the moment
heard this proposition first read at tho DESK have been
unable to think OF II without pain The reflection that
II might find place In the constitution or even that IL
gnt Do sahcohed oy congress- lntoerable and this
becomes more so when call TO mind the circumstances
by which all surrounded and the exigency the
hour Lord Bacon tells as that the highest function
which man can be called TO perform EARTH s that of
founders Of states he expresses II Conditores pe
RI" Such is the duty before us We are 20 help in
this great work by fundamental provision which shall
fix the basis of political system for an indefinite fn-
ture There are none among the great lawgvers
Of history who have had sublimer task But
this duty Is enhanced when consider that Is the
consequence and sequel Of unparalleled At
ment Of peace such duty would be commanding; but 1t
is now reinforced by exceptional considerations arising
from the exceptional condition of affairs For four years
rebellion in the largest proportions known to authentic
lie rtwain Millions Of treasure sacrificed lives
more precious than any treasure heaped In heca
tombs families were filed with mourning In the terrible
struggle. While the country was bleeding at every
pore and the scales OF battle hung doubtful assistance
came from unexpected quarter. Intermxed with the
false men who warred on the republic were than
%
kinds and compelled 10 do the bidding Of masters
The slaves became our benefactors; they were
kind TO our captive soldiers, sheltering them,
feeding them, supplying their wants, aud thus
there was in the very heart OF the rebellion ia hrob
Of these benefactos and two hundred thousand brave
allies, representatives OF host eaped for
saved; the rebellion was at end Meanwhile the good
President who at that guided our affairs put forth
his immortal proclamation declaring that these slaves
are and henceforward shall be- free Not stopping with
this declaration, he proceeded that the Ex-
ecutive government Of the United States including the
military and naval authorities thereof will recognize and
maintain the freedom Of such persons Thus was the
republic solemny pledged to these benefactors first,
by the lies Of gratitude that should be en-
the face of the civilized world. And this promise
was taken up and adopted by the people OF United
States, when by constitutional amendment they
pressy empowered Congress to maintain this freedom by
appropriate legislation. And now, sir, called are,
TO readus the foundations Of political power which
naturally changed by the disappearance Of slavery and
called also 70 perform sacred promises benefactors
