It was universally allowed by every class of poli ticians, abolitionists as well as others, and so settled by the courts of the country to be a domestic institution, and exclusively within the control of the States where it existed. But it is said that wc must get back .info thc Union. That is the clap trap by which people arc deceived, and wc are lead like dumb sheep to the slaughter.— A\ T e precipitated out of the Union with reckless audacity, war and wide spread ruin were the fatal consequences. It is now proposed with trembling timidity that we shall precipitate back into the Union, to be followed by consequences still more fatal more universal, more last- ting and equally vital in their character. I opposed thc one with all the energies ot an earnest and thorougly aroused nature, down to the very last moments of its ac complishments, and with like earnestness, I shall continue against the other. Mr. President, l am opposed to precip itation, for I believe that in morals as in physics, that it implies injury just in proportion to the weight and size of the body precipitated. AVhy, sir, we are not out of the Union. Never have been out since wc first got in, and never can get out, except by successful revolution. President Johnson says we are not out the L^nion. The radicals North say we are not out of the Union. * * * * When our Governor, members, to the General Assembly and other officers are elected under authority from this body we will then have a State restored to civil life in the Union, and qot- out of it. 1 accept the policy which the Presi dent has adopted, and thc method he has proposed for thc restoration of our civil life and our relations to the General Gov eminent.

AVc shall then have a State Govern ment complete in all its department®, managing and controlling all of our inter nal domestic affairs; and the only ques tion will be, shall we have a representation in thc Congress of the United States ?

Thus the recital in the report of the Commit tee, that the institution of slavery “has been destroyed,” is the same in effect as if we declare slavery abolished by this Convention.

He must minister in our pulpits, sit on the .Judge’s bench and in Legislative halls, vote at the polls, sleep under our roof, cat at our boards, mingle in our social intercourse and marry our daughters. This is the feast to which wc arc invited by the radicals of thc North, and these are the men whom it is pro posed that we shall propitiate by adopting the ordinance of the committee. Con cession only invites aggression ; and we might as well expect to appease thc hun ger of a starving wolf by throwing him a morsel as to appease the radicals North with concessions any less than their cx- trcu.est demands. \Ve should never for get that this party can never be satisfied for if satisfied, the party would at once die. Thc irrepressible conflict still goes on under their leadership ; but its dogma is changed. It is not now that this country must be all slave or all free, but that it must be all black or all white.— Though for a while it may and will ex pend its fury at the South, yet in the nat ural and unavoidable progress of events, it will expand until it reaches the whole country and the political problem whether the negro and his confrere» shall rule the United States will sharpen and intensify until it will culminate in a war of races and the extermination of thc negro or the white man. AA r ho are our friends in this contest, Tnd who arc thc friends of the country ? I answer, those who, had we been faithful to our political pledges and adhered to our political principles, would have saved us and the country in 1800—the National Democracy. After four years of separa tion ; four years of national suffering and calamity ; four years of battle and blood shed, when the clash of arms has ceased and the clouds that intervened and ob structed our vision have passed away, we behold still proudly floating amid the ruins and desolation of war the banner of national democracy. They come to us not as conquerers, but as protectors; not as enemies, but as friends; not as stran gers, but as brothers; and they exhort us to come and unite with them to heal the wounds and bind up the bruises of our afflicted country; to maintain and pre serve the principles of free government; to restore that Union which was the source of our power and our prosperity, and was once thc pride of every true American. To restore it, not by power, and mere outward power, but to restore it in the hearts of the people. Mr. President, there was a time, and for a long time, when the sight of the “star spangled banner” thrilled every heart with emotion. Often in boyhood and maturer years, as I gazed upon it, and thought of the great principles it emblematized, of the sacrifices of blood and suffering which secured to us those principles of the happy, prosperous and great people whose banner it was, my swelling heart has found vent in silent but irrepressible tears of gratitude and joy that I was an American citizen ; but, sir, there are wounds which it requires time to heal, and if I cannot exult, as I once did, in contemplating our national emblem, I can, with a less degree of en thusiasm but equal sincerity and fixedness of purpose, submit to the decrees of fate, and become a good and true citizen of the United States of America. * * * * Bat, Mr. President, though I may not hail the flag of the United States with the glowing enthusiasm of former years, yet there is afloat another banner at the north which I can greet as an old friend from which. I have been long separated. Under that banner are now arrayed all in the borders ot our State. »«««««> ^ of the north, and Pres has ceased on the part of our people, and ^ ^ ^ standard bcarer j nil nrn ntroitmCT tilP.

If so set aside, any man of intelligence knows that we would not be called upon, nor could we sustain them if wo would. Under thc Constitution of thc United? States we would be entitled to represen tation in Congress; and a denial of the right would be palpable injustice and a plain violation of thc Constitution, and this denial would be founded upon a re fusal on our part to allow a still more flagrant violation of the Constitution interfering with’ thc domestic affairs of a sovereign State. * * * * When we have elected our State and Federal officers, and shall send the latter to AA'ashington to take their seats in Congress, wc will then have done all that can be done on our part, and nothiug will remain to render the Union complete except for our representatives to take their seats in Congress. It we are pre vented from doing so by the radicals North, we will then be the unionists and they the disunionists. * * * * * * If wc pass the ordinance of thc com mittee abolishing slavery, wc will still have to go before an abolition Congress, and we have no assurance that our repre sentatives will be allowed to take their scats. The committee should go farther, if this is to be the object which is to> be obtained at any sacrifice; they should provide for negro suffrage; give him a right to hold office; to sit on juries; make him civilly the equaT of the white man. Less than these will not satisfy the men with whom we have to deal, and without we concede all, the con- session of any part will do us no good, but harm in the concession made, and harm in the moral influence of that con cession. Mr., President, I am among those who believe that a firm, manly spirit, mode rate but just to- her people, on the part of the South will be of more avail with the people of the North than any timid, time serving policy which fear may prompt or subtlety approve. A great people overpowered, after a gallant and noble resistance, bowing with dignity to the force they had not the power to resist, and bearing misfortune with patience and fortitude — feeling that they are in thc power of the conqueror, yet nobly declining to do anything which will inflict injury upon their country, or tarnish their good name, would be a spec tacle which should not only command respect, but would elicit the sympathy and admiration of a magnanimous nation; nor can the people of the North forget (now that we have ceased to fight) nor long overlook the fact that it is the An glo Saxon who is suffering here, and that it is their own blood and race whom thc radicals at the North would subordinate, or at least bring down to a level with the negro. * * * * * The Gordian knot of slavery has been cut; aud from three to four millions of slaves have been emancipated, and th# country is now progressing with the ex periment.

I believe that the people of both sections will see and admit this; and I desire that our people, if not now precluded, shall not by any act of this Convention be precluded from conforming to and profit ing by the results of this experiment up on this important subject.
