They can only he preserved by constant watchfulness, courage and adherence to correct principles.— These remarks apply with unusual force to free governments, which arc the most difficult of all to maintain. If we, the people of the Uni ted States, were the first in history who had attempted the experiment of living under a Democratic or Republican form of Govern ment, we might be excused if we failed to discover the symptoms of approaching death, and to apply the remedies to preserve our lib erty and the blessings we have heretofore en- READ THE FOLLOWING HOME EVIDENCE j joyed. But we arc not the first who have f its medicinal virtue and try it in your own m «<*e experiment Other peoples and voa propose to exclude the most intelligent from participating iu the Government forever. You will by tin-se measures inaugurate a war of races. A people who will abrogate their own government, and disfranchise the most intelligent of them at tie dictation of those who arc not to be aifected thereby, and live unmistakably to set aside the Constitution *u>i provide something else. I have never doubted that we were coining to this issue. In speech es made by me. five, six, eight and ten years ago, I predicted this, and every page of our .... b?;torv since that time has verified the correct- : ander the dictation ot a foreign power, ha\e ness of the prediction.

Should it be said that in such a rase there may be peace and a kind of compact by which the conqueror con sents to spare the lives of the vanquished on ! condition that they acknowledge themselves his slaves: he who makes such an assertion is ignorant that war gives no right to take away the life of an enemy who has laid down his arms and submitted. But let us uot dispute the int: let the man who holds such piihci- i pies of jurisprudence keep them for his own . use and benefit; he well deserves to be subject to such a Taw. But men of spirit to whom life is nothing—less than nothing, unless sweetened with liberty, will always conceive themselves at war with their oppressor, though actual hos tilities are suspended on their part, through want of ability.” My friends, this was written by a man who lived in despotic times, by a man who was taught under a despotic government: and how his love of liberty and law shames the praters HOYNTO; -:o:- Advertisen..--.- (often lines or space equ. _ tion, and 75 ceuts lor eacn -- sertion.

June IS, '07.-tf. nations, for thousands of years, have had Commonwealths, Republics, and Democracies, which have risen and fallen limes almost with out number. I but assert a great truth—one j which finds no contradiction or exception in all countries—when I say that the great iead- I ing and substantial causes of the decay of freedom in all countries have ever been the i same. How inexcusable must we be if we fail bow cowardly and recreant if we fail to apply the proper remedy to prevent so foul a death ! No people ever commenced to build up a free government under such favorable auspices as we. What a climate, soil, variety of pro ductions and material resources do we possess;, and what an ancestry and what a common struggle for liberty did our fathers pass through! Did any people ever before com mence with such advantages? Rome com menced as a small city, and was despised by the barbarians around it. She extended her power by her arms, and increased till at last she became mistress of tiie world. We com menced with such a people, country and pro ductions as no people ever had before, and we had fewer disseutions and elements of discord than any people ever suffered from: and Prov idence, as if to separate ns from the crimes and corrupting influences of the old world, spread out this great continent before us, with the wide sea to separate us from them, with no influence of monarchy and oppressive sys tems tG threaten or make war upon us. If we fail, it will be by our own folly. What excuse can we render to our posterity and to the world, if we, in this day, with the lessons of history before us, allow free institutions to perish on this continent? And our race will have been the soonest run. We have not yet lived a century. It. is but seventy-eight years since the Constitution was formed, and but ninety-one years since independence was de clared by our fathers, while the Commonwealth of Rome lived four hundred years before the measures which produced her decay were pro posed. What a spectacle! The best people, the richest soil, the most valuable productions, established as if by the Providence of God as a new era in the history of the world—and bidding fair to be the shortest lived of any free government in the history of nations! There is r.o difficulty whatever—and I assert it without fear of contradiction—in discover ing when aad how a nation is dj'ing.' I can not now go into an analysis of national decay and death. It is only important to present the leading one which controlls all others—which existing, produces all others, and which being remedied, cures all others. Then hear it: the great symptom of the decay and death of a government is the disregard of the fundamental law of that government. Whenever a people come to treat lightly their own fundamental law, they have arrived at the most dangerous point that is possible, short of entire destruc tion. Republics, above all other kind of gov ernments, are maintained by respect for law. If the people of the United States fail to have a sacred regard for their own law—which is not like that of other nations, to be ascertain ed by argument, by decisions, or by searching, but is a plain and wisely written Constitution they will deserve the awfuFTate that awaits— them; and he who disregards its plain lan guage has no excuse to shield himself from the infamy of a traitor! [Applause.] Old as it is—trampled upon, torn and tattered as it is —my theme to-day is the Constitutien of our country and for all our country, [Applause,] I charge before Heaven and the American peo ple this day, that every evil by which we have been afflicted is attributable directly to the violation of the Constitution. Tinkers may work, quacks may prescribe, and demagogues may deceive, but I declare to you that there is no remedy for us, and no hope to escape the threatened evils, but in adhering to the Consti tution. Fellow-citizens: Pardon me while I say that in presenting my views, I think of no living man, individually, to whom my remarks are to apply. I have come to talk freely to you about the dangers of the country. Little minds ascribe little objects to those whose views they do not agree with, and he has at tained an unenviable reputation whose friends say "you mean him, 1 ' when I am speaking of treachery and showing the evil consequences of a certain line of policy.

Now, I affirm that these military bills are not only contrary to the Constitution, but di rectly iu the face of the amnesty oath you were required to take after the surrender.— The Government thought proper, in accepting j your submission, to take jour oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Union of the States. Why was that oath re quired if the Constitution was dead? But it is said the Constitution does not apply to us. Then don't swear to support, it. But it is said again that we are not in the Union. Then why swear to support the Union of these States? What “Union” does that mean? When you took that oath was it the Union of the Northern States alone that you swore to support? What business have you with that Uuion? No, it is the Union of all the States known to the Constitution that you have been sworn to support. But they say that oath was prescribed by the President, and that it i*iot loyal. Then I must answer a fool according to his folly, and a traitor according to bis treason. What do they require who pass these bills—this military Juggernaut-? They require every man who registers his name to vote to swear tosuppcit the Constitution, and counsel and persuade others to do so—and still it is said the Constitution has nothing to do with it!— They say the scheme is outside of the Consti tution, and yet in the process of carrying it out, they require an oath to support the Con stitution, and to counsel and persuade others to do so? That is -more than Mr. Johnson ever-required in the oath which he preseribsif. It is mj- business to support the Constitu tion, and my duty and pleasure to persuade others to uo so. Some of j’ou who favor the acceptance of the military bills have taken an oath to this effect, and still intend to vote for a convention which you admit to be ordered contrary to the Constitution ! llow is this?— If you have a conscience, I have said enough. If you vote for the convention you are PER JURED! [Tremendous applause.] O! I pity the race of colored people who have not been taught what an oath is, nor what the Consti tution means. They are drawn up by a selfish ! conclave of traitors to inflict a death-blow j upon the life of the Republic, by swearing them to a falsehood ! They are to begin their pollt- j ical life by perjury to accotr.pl sh treason ! 1 j would not visit the penalty upon them. They j are neither legally nor morally responsible, j but it is you—educated designing white men —who thus devote yourselves to the unholy work—who are the guilty parties ! You prate about your loyalty! I look you in the eye and denounce you ! [Applause.] \ou are mor ally and legallj' perjured traitors! You per jure yourselves and perjure the poor negro to j help you in your treason! [Immense uppiause,] You can’t escape it. You may boa?t of it noiv, while passion is rife, but the t.me will come when the very thought will wither your soul and make you hide trout the face ol man- . kind. I shall discharge the obligation of the am nesty oath. 1 will not bind myself to a new j slavery to hell, by violating it. I talk plainly, but l simply want to strike the incrustation o! the hardened conscience, and make men fee. and realize their true situation. I have proved that these military bills vio late the Constitution, and that you, in carrying cart, ami experience me deepest pity fur the unfortunate race. This is not the first time that such things have been attempted. Unfortunately, there have before been both foois and knaves iu the world, and some of you, it would seem, will not learn wisdom from the lessons of the past. If the Constitution is dead, we are outside ot it, and, pray, what government have we? Vv c have nothing, in that case, but the will of an unlawful conclave, and don't you know this means anarchy and then despotism and tyran ny? What inducement is held out to you to accept their propositions ? You say it is to get back into the Uuion! And for this you are willing to submit to disfranchisement and tiie inauguration of a policy that tends to a war ot races, all to get back into the Union—-just where you are already, anti always were! What do you want to get back into that sort of a Union for? If you are not now in it, what can j-ou expect by getting into such as they present to you? You say it is to get representation in the Union ! Is not Kentucky in the Union? Has she any representation?— The telegraph informs us that a resolution has been introduced into the so-called Congress making inquiries whether Maryland, Delaware , this work, will be accepted. They will put their arms around your necks and call j'ou brothers. [Applause.] You can make a friend of the devil on these terms, [laughter and applause,] and there is but little difference between them. [Great applause.] If >ou please the one you will go to the other, and 1 am not sure but you will get what you deserve, but I object to your taking the country with you.— [immense applause.] But. Uh, it is sad to see the Constitution trampled upon and the country destroyed, on ly to perpetuate their hellish dynasty ; and then to see some of our own people join'iu this unholy work, calling upon us to submit and become the agents of our own dishonor ! This is sad, is sorrowful, and tills me with shame! These bills propose at every step to abro gate the constitution—trample upon the State anil its laws —to blot out nope — to perjure ev- erv inan who accepts them, with every princi ple of honor, justice and safety disregarded tram pied upon, and dr.-pi-wd all to perpetu ate the power of their wi k.:d authors. Can it is j scheme succeed? Will it succeed ? That is the ! question. 1 feel truly thankful in my heart i that 1 have an answer which lifts my soul amidst all the gloom and apprehension of the hour. Some of you may not appreciate it, but to me it is the only oasis in tins desert : inis ■ scheme will nercr, nlvkr succeed and 1 proclaim ! its ultimate failure to-day in your hearing.— !

Tiie result will be the substitution of the Radical party for all governments, both State and Federal; and the substitution of Radical icill fur all law ! Take that home with you and digest it. That’s where you are go ing! Kentucky is excluded from representa tion because it is alleged her representatives were voted for by dislojal men. What is meant by disloyal ? Every man who does not support the Radical party will soon be declar ed disloyal, and every State which does not vote the Radical ticket will he disloyal, and her government illegal. I teii you, unless patriotism shall wake up from the stun which i the horrid confusion of war has given it, the : Radical party will be our only government, j and Radical whl our only law. j I look fer this revolution to go on. Whoev- I er thinks tin's war on the Constitution will stop j with the tea States is a madman or simpleton j to be {titled, or a knave to be despised. I have j expected them to take charge of Connecticut ] because she dared to electa Governor that did ' uot agree with the Radical party, and sure enough Sumner in a late letter strikes that key note. He says a similar bill for all the States is a short cut to universal suffrage. The so- called Congress immediately after its meeting took charge of Kentucky, and excluded her whole delegation with one exception. If they can reject these, they can reject every one who differs with them, arid they will do so; and they will receive only those who agree with them. These they will receive. I care not what may have been their sins heretofore; if the worst secessionist in all the land will whine around the streets and say he is radical now, lie is as good as the saints in heaven for Radical purposes. [Applause.] They care not for race or color, nor for antecedents; if you now favor Radical schemes you are loyal, and if you oppose them you are disloyal! But you say j'ou are in favor of going into the Union, because if you do not your pro perty will be confiscated. A gentleman of this city, a few days ago, said to me that he was in favor of the acceptance of these mili tary bills because he thought it the best he could do.

It may take some time to comprehend this thought, but you will not forget it That which is now proposed is torce. It is proposed by men who do not live in this State ami whose agents do not live here ; and it is sought to be accomplished by military power, but un ier the pretense of your sanction —not to please yourselves, but them. There is not an instance in history where a govern incut of force has been perpetuated un Ier the forms of free institutions, it is an impossibility, and can never succeed. [Applause.] 2d. But it is sought to be accomplished by deceit and fraud, which cannot much longer escape detection. The masses of the people of the North love the Constitution and fought for it and the Uuion, but the leaders did not fight for it, and do not love it ; and they now seek to destroy it under pretense that we must give some further guarantee for our future good be havior than merely supporting the Constitu tion, As soon as the means by which their de ceit and fraud have been covered up are re moved, the scheme will be crushed to death by the people. It is a double-shaped monster, like the monster at Hell-gate, which can lvo i nowhere except in political pandemonium. And what must be the results ? I do not say we will come cut of all this with free institu tions preserved, but this scheme can never suc ceed. A despotism over the whole country and people guilty and innocent alike may ensue You fail but you may tiring iuin upon all. When ever you pull down the temple of liberty, you also will bo crushed iu the fall. You cannot level or lower us and elevate yourselves. We must all rise or go down together. Despotism may come, empires may rise and fall among us. but whether they do or not, we shall not have the reign ofa Radical party. Understand me : If I say a man cannot live high up in the air, I du not mean he cannot go up in a balloon and remain for a time ; or if I say a man can not live under water, I do not say he cannot go down in a diving bell and remain a while ; but the Radicals will as certainly fail to per petuate their power under this scheme, as that a man will fail who attempts to dwell in the Sent by mail to any address for One D ilar: Address HUTCHINS; & WARNER, Winchester, Tennessee.
