nor American. They nominated
a man who, ten yearn ago, in one of the

had charged that it was not only a
wrong and oppression to thqsUtra artda
and we are again called onto vote for
a Democrat to settle it again.

'i» The great Webster rose in the Senate
of thh United StkW, and with hit. irief .
Bistible arguments defended, our consti- ^
tutionailrights, bat said slavery was a
curse. The noble Clay, with his match-
lenteloquence, advocated our constitu
tional'rights hut admitted that slavery
was an eyib i The leader of the Democ
racy, the experienced Statesman, Sena
tor Oass,' 'Was Willing to concede our
Constitutional rights but denounced sla-
Cry as a curse. Where did the South
then in her hour of trial T With
obloquy and degradation heaped upon
her, to whom did she go for a defender!
Amid the burses pronounced upon her
hy her best friends, her own sons were
silent, but not all. One noble form arose
and hurled back the insults, and defend
ed single handed his native South against
the host of her enemies who^stood with
solid front. He fearlessly told them
that slavery was right, scripturally, so-
.dally and politically right. That it was
a blessing to the slave, civilising and
christianising him. And it was a bles
sing to the country whieh tolerates it.
The history of the world, and especial
ly of our own land, establishes this fact.
Our commerce, our manufactures, our
agriculture would not have reached one
half their present gigantic proportions
had it not been for the much reviled
institution of slavery. It was the well
spring of our national prosperity. Not
only this but he declared that “human
ity to. tho Slave, not less than justice to
the master recommended the policy of
diffusion and^extension into any new
Territory adapted to his condition."—
That man who thus nobly defended our
righto, was John Bell of Tennessee.—
Will any one say that he would admin
ister the government to the disparage
ment of the institution to which we owe
so much—half our commerce, half our
revenues, Jsalf our agriculture, half our
manufactures, half our greatness and
|prosperify ns a nation ?
'Mr. Hill offered a reward to any man
who would point to Mr. Breckinridge's
record where he has ever said slavery
was right, or where ho has ever ascribed
our prosperity to its influence. Why
then not vote for Mr. Bell? The an
swer is he has no platform. Our country
was administered fifty years without a
platform.^ Washington, Jefferson, Mad
ison and Jackson needed no piutform.
The first time such a tiling was found
to be necessary was when Martin Van
Buren was nominated. And although
the Democracy had been building plat-
forms evor since, they never yet carried
one out in the administration of the
Government. In 1856 Senators and
Congressmen left Washington City, as
sembled in Cincinnati and adopted
platform. They returned to Congress
and in ten days violated its provisions.
Another fact in regard to them is that
they are all built so ns to be susceptible
of two constructions. Four years ago
the Democracy denied this fact, when
alleged, but now they are quarrelling
and fighting over tho Cincinnati “Cheat
and Swindlo’\as they call it. But the
necessity for such things nevor arose un
til candidates were nominated who had
no record, or what they did have was
unsound. Henoe platforms were built
to suit the emergency and entrap hon
est voters, and it became customary to
point to platforms and ignore men and
their principles. In order to make them
successful io accomplishing tho purpose
for which they were intended, subjects
of an inflammable and exciteable na
ture were inserted.
Slavery being of this description was
put into party platforms, and every
four years it was found necessary to
oettle it. The Democracy were always
tellling it. It was settled at first, but
Demagogues unsettled it When God broke
up tho fountains of the great deep and
opened the windows of heaven, and
•wept sin and iniquity from tho face of
tho earth, He planted slavery and set
tled it. Our fathers settled it before
the Constitution was formed. It was
again settled in its every phase, in 1850.
I All parties agreed to the settlement.—
Fierce was elected on it, and Scott was
defeated because it was believed he
would be swayed by Seward, who would
Dot abideby it. In two short years tho
Democracy bad unsettled it again, and
would not support Fillmore, because
ho would nOt stated on the HAhsas Bill.
Which unsettled it, but Un called on
corn, what.In cotton, and what in
wheat r df what'profession he should
choose, whether hf.should be a doctor,
lawyer,’si fannot, a i mechanic or a mer
chant? And yet thesO>ighto .ware no
1 'tied than slavery, S- 1 If,
Hillj then defended {himself
of - inconsistency,: in
contained in the Dudley letter. Ho
carqd potfcing Tor consistency, so ho
was right. But he was consistent. He
would not Jot an t or cross a t, in that
letter. It was the first document in
Georgia bringing prominently before
the people the dociririeh’ decided in the
Dred Scott case. It wajt ^accordance
with his preconceived opinions. The Je.
cision was no obiter.. Tho Court had de
termined the Congressional and Terri
torial power over the subject of slavery,
and platforms could not settle it any
better. Ho promised in the Dudloy
letter if Gov..Brown would get off the
Cincinnati platform and stand on the law
he would support him. He was in favor
of leaving the subject of slavery out of
platforms. The Supreme Court bad de
clared the law, and upon the law he
was willing to go before the North, and
tell them our rights wero no longer d4-
batcable. The argument was at an end:
the case was decided—agitation must
cease.
He wanted his Democratic friends ta
get off their double-construction plat
forms, and get on the law. The Breck
inridge party had not come up to tho
requisitions of his letter. They were
still lugging slavery into their platforms
and still differing as to the meaning of
the platform. The Constitutional Union
Party had met the conditions of the
Dudloy letter. In 1850 we said the
Kansas bill was a cheat; Mr. Bell voted
against it for that reason, andThe D m-
ocratic party at Charleston have said the
same thing. Mr. Bell predicted that it
would renew tho agitation and build up
the Republican party dVtlib North. And
his prebiction has proved to be true.—
At the ensuing elections, .the abolition
ists sent to Congress two more Senators
and one hundred and two Representa
tives. In the Southern States statemen
had been driven out and demagogues
put in their places.
Mr. Boll had been charged with un
soundness because he voted against the
Lecompton Constitution. Ha did so
because of frauds perpetrated in its
adoption. Slavery would extend itself
because it was right, and did not need
fraud to help it, and fraud could not
circumscribe it. Senator Hammond, of
South Carolina. said the Lecompton
Constitution Ought to have been kicked
out of Congress, and yet he is Bound
enough.
Again it is said Mr. Bell was in favor
of Abolition petitions. This is not true.
He believed they should be received and
disposed of as other petitions as the best
way to put an end to them. Gen. Pierce
thought thesame, and Democrats found
no fault with him on that account,when
he was a candidate. Mr. Buchanan not
only agreed with Mr. Bell, but himBelf
presented these petitions, and he is now
Democratic President. As for Mr.
Bell’s position on (he Abolition of slave
ry in the District of Columbia, this
charge is as shallow os the rest. He was
in favor of it provided that Virginia and
Maryland consented, that the owners
agreed to it und wore compensated, that
the slaves should bo removed bejond
the District, that the feelings of the
Southern people should be consulted,
and the abolitionists accepted it as tho
lost concession fromtho South..
The Georgia platform did not demand
much, and Mr. Bell was sounder than
that instrument. Ho was sounder than
Washington, Jefferson, and Madison.
They had all admitted that slavery was
wrong. BeR said he was identified with
it, and he is the only candidate who
1&3BOm tosay so; 1 JlivJditUL U.
Ho had been asked if he would fuso
with. .Douglas. Ho was just as mnoh
opposed to Dougins as ever. If he was
a Kansas Bill Democrat, a Cincinnati
platform Democrat, he would vote for
Douglas; if not he would vote for Bell.
Breckinridge acknowledged in his
Lexington speeoh that ho knew two
constructions were plaood on tlte. Cin
cinnati platform. And men ought not
to vote for a map who had cheated
them onoe. Mr. Breckinridge wont to
the Northwest in 1856 to satisfy the
Northern people there were no two
constructions. And when Douglas
made his 8quatter Sovereignty speeches,
Breckinridge would endorse them. 8o
Douglas said in his Baltimore speech.—
All Southern Democrats in 1856 denied
r„‘ ^STEAM SAW MILL,
the Coosa I!i
tooting Din the Territories. All admit
that property is entitled to protection,
voting for Breokinridge >is- disunion.—
Not that thossr who thus voted desired
it. But every vote east for him inereas-
__ yin coin’s chances. Divide thjb Sou
them vote, and thfe election ! will be
thrown into the House and give Lin
coln Another chance. Breckinridge
can’t get on electoral vote in the North)
and can not be elected. All South Car
olina admits that. Then why vote for
him. Neither Breckinridge, nor Doug
las, nor Lincoln pan -give peace to the
couhtiry.; They stand on platforms ob
jectionable to fine or the other half of
the Union. Bell is on the Constitution,
the Union and the enforcement of the
laws, a national, patriotic platform and
all patriots should vote for him.
Mr. Hill spoke threo hours and we
have attempted only a skeleton of his
speeoh. We wish nil cquld have hoard
it. It lias nccomplsihcd much good
here. Established the wavering, and
convinced many who wero in tho wrong.
We have many reasons for thinking it
a powerful effort, but the best and only
one we will mention is that * 'little Breck
inridge men’’ concur in pronouncing it
shallow, superficial, without an ideu, no
nrgumont Ac., Ac; Wo have no room
for comment.
