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.
