A full c
patriotism and good intention 0 . The serpent
induced Eve to eat the forbidden frnit by flat- j
tering her. and declaring Lis counsel would do
hei good. He greatly desired, he protested, to :
improve her condition. From that day to tLis j
traitors have been unable to find any better j
method to accomplish their purposes. Igno- j
ranee is more easily duped than intelligence, 1
and. therefore, knaVes have always been advo- j
cates of conferring power on fools: and so,
fools have generally thought knaves their best j
friends. For this very reason commonwealths
—free countries—4ave produced more dema
gogues, and hat*become more fearfully the
| prey of anarchy than any other form of gov-
; ernment. The people generally mean well.—
i They think they follow friends when they fol-
! low those who Hatter them, and they follow
with "cheers and a tiger." They go, like the
I fatted ox, with pretty ribbons streaming from
* his horns, frisking to their own slaughter!
Were not they glorious Southern leaders
who established the right to carry slaves to
Kansas ? What, if God had decreed slavery
couid not prosper there, and our fathers had
argument, to suggest a few elementary princi
ples which all our people ought, in these times,
to keep constant!} - beiore them:
In all society or government are rights to be
enjoved, burdens to be borne, and trusts to be
discharged.
Among the rights are the right of property,
the right of locomotion, the right to appropri
ate and dispose of the proceeds of our own
labor, the right to worship according to con
science. and the right to protection fioin so
ciety in the enjoyment of all these rights, and
the right to have all the legal processes and
remedies provided to make this protection
effectual. These are called civil rights, and
when we speak of civil equality we mean that
under various transparent pretences, excluded
obnoxious members from other States.
This process el exclusion continued until two-
thirds of those remaining were of one evil
mind. The executive body, though earnestly
denouncing the body as not organized as the
Constitution required, yet recognized this frag
ment as the Congress. Thus organized and
thus recognized, this fragmentary conclave—
now became very bold and dictatorial—began
to absorb to itself the powers and functions of
j every man who votes to carry out
votes to set aside the Constitution and subvert

Mr. Edward Wilder:
Dear Sir: It is with great pleasure that I say I
believe the Buttle of your Bitters you gave me, in
all probability, saved my life. They certain!}

and our fathers if their decrees and compacts
i stood in the way of " our rights!' Oh, how
i good theories and fair promises have wrecked
j hoj.es, destroyed prosperity and subverted
governments! Every command in the aeca-
! iogue has been violated in the name of God,
j and every precept of the Savior has been
! trampled upon under pretence of promoting
] religion.
Never, at any period of human history,have
1 bad men, or traitors or devils undertaken to
j accomplish a wicked work, with greater pro
citizens, to all classes, to all colors,
sexes, to all ages, and to a i! grades of intellect,
society and worth. These rights necessarily
attach to and become conditions of free citi
zenship. The negro is entitled to all there
rights. And being now deprived of thej.ro-
tecticn which, as a slave, fie received from hrs
owner, oil good men ought to rejoice that ho
can still be safe under the protection of the
law ; and being accustomed to assert bis rights,
a work which was formerly performed by his
master, all true men ought to be ready to aid
him in that assertion. .\na all our, Radicals
and renegades are willing to aid him, but they
seek to use him under pretence of aiding him.
Among the burdens of society and govern
ment I may mention: Working the public
highways, j roviding public building, paying
the public taxes, defending the public safety,
Ac., &c. These burdens ought to be boine by
all according to fitness and capacity, for these

; the peoj.le in the sincerity of their professions,
than those by which and under the influence
of which these Radicals have undertaken to
destroy the Constitution of the United States
aud the principles of free government in Amer
ica. With sincere convictions of right ar.d
necessity, but in a suicidal way, the Southern
States ami people seemed to place themselves
in an attitude of hostility to tlie Constitution.
And these Northern traitors, who provoked the
South to her folly for the very purpose, have
ever since been enabled to tickle and divert
the minds of the Northern people with the
flippant cry of "rebel” and "traitor,” and
thus not only unperceived, but in the midst of
the wild cheers and mad aid of the giddy,
foolish masses, have given the Constitution a
thousand stabs. And still the arch-leaders
give out tfie key-uote rebel; aud the Babel
crowd catch up the refrain, and fools in office
cry rebel: and knaves trying to get office cry
rebel; preachers of lies and haters from pul
pits cry rebel; lunatics in schools cry rebel;
aud, foulest of the foul, Southern renegades
cry rebel; and the traitors thauk God for the
wild distemper of the people, and slab on!—
And the poor outraged Constitution, under
which our common fathers lived, and loved,
and prospered, and which would gather all,
black and white, " even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings,” bleeds and reels,
and no one will hear her cries or heed her tot
tering!
Equally insane, but equally favorable to the
purpose of the Radicals, is the hypocritical
pretence of elevating the black race. All wise
or good men everywhere, and more especially
those in the South, desire to elevate the black
race, but Radical traitors aud their Southern
tools alone desire to degrade the white race.—
By whatever other means the work may be
done, it is certain the black race caurot be
leges or rights, by takin
dren, lunatics and id.ots do not work the high
ways or defend the society with arms, because
their position or capacity forbid, but they are
all citizens—or members of the society- and
pay taxes. These are all burdens because they
are borne, not for ourselves oulv, but for oth
ers—for the public.
Lastly, in every society or government there
are trusts to be discharged, offices are to be
filled, laws are to be made, executed aud ad
ministered—else there could be no rules or
process for protection—and agents are to be
selected for all these purposes. The whole
business of selecting agents tc discharge du-
ties, as well as the discharge of the duties rulers auu people, we stu. ,
- ■ of that glorious moral courage which .jaats
and of safety to themselves in the work ? They
would laugh and grin, and pass the bills to
destroy the Constitution with the glee of the
cat which plays with the contortions of its cap
tured, dying mouse. In an evil hour the Fves-
ident consented—agreed it was his duty—to
, execute as law whatever two thirds of this
| fragmentary conclave might desire, declare, or j
order!
“Then I. and yon. and all of us fell down.
Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.”
I have no doubt the President acted, in this
matter, from the purest and most patriotic
motives. His coiusC was advised ftud com
mended by men distinguished lor ability. He
is surrounded by circumstances jiecr.li.irly re
sponsible and embarrassing, and every desire
of my heart is to help him. and not to say any
thing that may weaken any man s faith in him.
But the country is passing through a most fear
ful ordeal. Everything we all have or can
hope for is involved. Errors may ruin, though
the motives be angelic, (hi questions of policy
or expediency 1 love the yielding, conciliating
spirit. 1 despise, from my heart, the bigot or
the fanatic. But a principle, a vital principle,
should never be abandoned for temporary re
lief, nor yielded to conciliate an enemy. The
Constitution ought to be administered in a
spirit of concession, but no man entrusted to
administer it should allow its destruction upon j
anv pretence. 1 do believe the idea that the !
Presidetft is bound to execute whatever a two- j

Constitution, the country and liberty, it, as | -

If, in the face of this plain statement oi t..e
issue, the correctness of which statement no
lineman can gainsay, and honest mind vii:
gainsay, there is etill to be founu a man in
America who can see in these Military Bills
any safety for property, or life, or liberty; or
any protection in the enjoyment of either; or
any elevation for the black race, or anything
in government but anarchy, with its long oi deal
of blood, and robbery, and factions, and baioe,
and spoil, and waste, and crime iu c-very form

and ruined peojile through an empire or em
pires, a despotism o» despotisms; such a man
is simply given over "to believe a lie that he
may be darned;” yea, and to act a lie that liia
country may be damned!
The next question, in the natural order ot
argument, is this: In what way shall these
bills be resisted, or by what remedies shall
their enforcement and final establishment be
prevented? I enter upon this branch of the
discussion with pain and jileasure—with pain
because I shall consider it my duty to declare

secure m privileges or ng.iis, oy ui^ away , - person, and affect the person ; but
from the white race these same privileges aud ! K . • . , 1 —e-
rights. Whether either race, and which shall
finally gain the mastc-ry, or whether both races
can live and rule together as equals :n peace,
are questions which good men may discuss,
and about which, possibly, even true men may
oilier; but one thing is very certain, neither
race separately, nor both raxes together can rule
or be ruled wisely or peacefully, or with safety
to life, property or franchise, by violating and
trampling upon the Constitution—the funda
mental law for all. He who would, therefore,
be a friend to either race must first be a friend
to the Constitution. lie who violates the
Constitution is an enemy to both races. He
who observes the Constitution is a friend to
both races.
The very reverse of this plain reasoning is
every principle which can be adduced to the j
support of these Military Bills. These bills j
trusts are relative, and born with society, be
long to society, and are for the good and under
the control of society. How is any man born
with a right to take my rights, or to select
another to take my rights?
Suffrage, then, is not a right—it is not a
privilege—it is a trust, a-nd a most solemn trust.
It is the trust of preserving society, of scour
ging rights, of protecting persons.
Would you select an ignorant, or vicious, or
untrustworthy man as your trustee, or the
trustee for your wife or your child, in tin
smallest concerns of life? How. then, would
you make a trustee of an ignorant or vicious
man to discharge these great duties, on the
wise and faithful discharge of which all rights,
and ail protection, and all tilings depend ?
The burdens of society are light or heavy ;
with the prestige
of authority and assurances of safety and bles
sing and greatness, is persuading our people
to eat that forbidden fruit ot using force io
preserve a Government of consent, aud of
making, by statute, that like aud equal, which
God bv nature made unlike and uneqnal, and
in so doing to disobey the commands of the
Constitution! And some are already persua
ded, and lustily cry "It is true, let ns disobey,
and taste, for we shaii thereby be great; and

come, and quicisly fiercely come, with blight
ing curse all over this last and noblest domain
of freedom, and doom ourselves and our chil
dren to the "blood and sweat” of despotism
forever!
Oh, that some voice weald rise whose thril
ling notes of patriotism could cover all the
land, and, hushing this bedlam dire of section-
and drive this modern political Satan of Radi- 1 property..Meit} an.l
liberty,
monster who would destroy all the hope for
my children ; because, in the destruction of the
Constitution by force and fraud, all these curses
will come. If the Constitution needs amend
ment let us all, all the States, amend it; if tree
government has failed, let us admit it, and form
another, like men of reason and honesty. But j
whatever government and laws we have, let us ;
obey them while we have them, and not seek !
to evade them by fraud, or overturn them by j
force, for then we have anarchy, which means ;
the utter absence of all safety and hope, and
the actual presence of every danger, for person,
life. Of all enemies to
individuals, to society, or to government, he ;
who deceives and takes advantage of trusts ;
reposed, or power conferred, to injure, slander •
or betray, is the meanest, the most cowardly, j
and the most dangerous. Therefore, I de- ;
nounce the Radicals and all their disciples. I;
know the President is a patriot, but his error
threatens to place him and his country in the
unrestrained and vengeful power of foresworn
enemies, and lie who believes it is an error owes
it to his country to say so and give his reasons

two collide the less must perish, or be drivqp
away, or be brought under control, however
the greater race may suffer by the collision
and the struggle.
And life Radicals know this: and, therefore,
i the means they propose are not intended to
i accomplish the ends they profess. The real
j end is to secure these ten States to keep the j
Radical party in power in the approaching '
| Presidential election, and this they seek to do j
| reckless of consequences to black or white, to ;
I the Constitution or Government. The traitors :
i are seeking to retain by this fraud and force |
at the South, the power they are losing by the ;
! detection of their treason at the North. They
annul the Constitution in the name of loyalty; !
i thev exterminate the black race in the name
| of philanthropy: they disfranchise white men ;
i in the name of equality; they pull down all
; the defences for life and prosperity in the name
I of liberty; and in blasphemous hosannas to •
! the Union, they are rushing ail sections and ;
! all races into wild chaotic anarchy; and all, ;
ed. The heavy taxes
groans, spring alone from the unfaithful
wicked execution of the trusts of our people
in selecting agents, and ol the agents in dis
charging their duties.
Universal, indiscriminate, ignorant and vi
cious white suffrage has buried a-milnou ot
The framers of the Constitution doubtless
supposed they h.id jirovided, or left existing,
ample remt
burdens too grievous to be borne.
Will it be wise to extend the sacred bat des
ecrated trust of suffrage to more ignorance,
to more vice, and at the s .me time withdraw
those trusts from intelligence and worth !
Men born with a right to vote! as they arc
bora to breathe the air, or enjoy the proceeds
of their own labor! Then why is it that wo
men and children and lunatics and idiots are
not allowed to vote? They breathe and eat
and pay taxes.
It is, therefore, the right of society to decide
upon whom shall be devolved the trust of pre
serving society and administering protection
to rights. And it ,s Die duty of society to
withhold these trusts from the ignorant and
vicious—since the ignorant and vici
