A CHANGE OF LEADERS,
Enmity to the right of private judg
ment comes dowa to party of Plymouth
ideas by consistent and regular succession.
It is woven like a dirty stripe into the
warp and woof of their history. As soon
as they got possession of the Federal
Government under John Adams they
began to use it as an engine for the sup
pression of free thought. Their alien law
gave the President power to banish or im
prison, without trial, any foreigner whose
opinions might be obnoxious to his support
ers. Tneir sedition put every Democrat
ic speaker and writer under the heel of
the administration. Their standing
army was used, as it now is, to crush out
their political opponents. If you come
into Eastern Pennsylvania, and particu
larly into the good county of Berks, you
will learn that the people there still think
with indignation of that old reign of terror
when Federal dragoons kidnapped, in
sulted and beat their fathers, chopped
down their ‘‘liberty poles,” broke to
pieces the press of the Reading Eagle,
and whipped its venerated editor in the
market-house. The same spirit broke out
again in the burning of nunneries and
churches under Maria Monk, and under
John Brown the whole country swarmed
with spies and kidnappers. When you
abandoned the harlot and rallied to the
standard of the thief, you changed your
leader without changing your principles.
THE YANKEE SLAVE CODE.
The siave code planted in Massachu
setts was the earliest in America and the
most cruel in all its provisions. It was per
tinaciously adhered to for generations,
and never repented of, or formally re
pealed. It was gradually abandoned,
not because it was wrong, but solely be
cause it was fouud, after long experiment
to be unprofitable. Their plan of keep
ing twenty negroes as cheaply as one
wile servant uid not work well; for in
'"^climate a negro thus used would in-
lallibly die before his labor paid what he
cost. They sold their stock whenever
they could, but emancipation was forbid
den by law, unless the owner gavo security
w maintain the slave and prevent him from
becoming a public charge. To evade
‘his law, those who had old or infirm ne
groes encouraged them to briug suits for
tieir freedom, and then by sham demur-
!E*' or °Uier collusive arrangements, got
judgements against themselves that the
egroes were free, and always had been
eniales likely to increase the stock were
, ver t'3ed to be sold " for that fault
,;«• ' oung ones, because they were
worth raising, were given away like
J 1 Ppies of a super-abundant litter. In

not merely accepting, but “ adopting”
use your own word) the measures in
tended to degrade and rob them, and thus
make himself master of their souls as
well as their bodies. All rights of men
resolved by this theory into the mights
of men.
I aver that this doctrine, in all its
length and breadth, is false and pernicious.
It is the foundation on which all slavery
rests, and the excuse for all forms of ty
ranny. It has no support iu any sound
rule of public law, and has never been
acknowledged by wise or virtuous govern
ments in any age since the advent of
Christ. _ You can find no authority for it,
except in the examples, of men whose
names are given over to universal execra
tion. Mahomet asserted it when he
forced his religion upon the subjugated
East, when churches were violently con
vert^ into mosques, and the emblem e£
Christianity was trampled under foot, to
be replaced by the badge of the impostor.
On the same principle Poland was parti
tioned, and Ireland plundered a dozen
times. The king of Dahomey acted upon
it when he sold his captives, and the men
of Massachusetts indorsed it when they
took them in cxchauge for captivesof their
n. You aud your confreres adopted it
a part of your political creed when,
after the Southern people were thoroughly
subdued, you denied them all rights of
freemen, tore up their society, abrogated
all laws which could protect them in per
son or property, broke their local gov
ernments in pieces, and put them under
the domination of notorious thieves,
whom you forced them to accept as their
absolute masters. .,
These results of the war are no doubt
very precious. The right to traffic in
the flesh of Indians and negroes was
jrecious to the Yankee and the king of
Dahomey. That was the fruit of their
wars. But was it in either case legiti
mate? Your great reverence for the
founders of your political school in
Massachusetts, to say nothing of your
respect for the authority of the African
princeB, or your faith in the Koran,
will probably impel you to stand up in
favor of the “ideas” which you have
loarned from them. But I think I can
maintain the Christian law of liberty
in opposition to all your Mussulman
notions; for God is great, and Mahomet
not his prophet.

THE CANT OF THE PHARISEE.
It would be very unjust to deny that
great mauy men, from the earliest
period of our history were sincerely op
posed to African slavery, from motives
of religion, benevolence and humanity.
This sentiment was strong in the South
as well as the North, and by none was
it expressed with more fervor than by
Jefferson himself, the great apostle of
Democracy. But this concession can
hardly be made to the political aboli
tionists. As an almost universal rule,
the leaders of that sect were ribald infi
dels, and their conventicles teemed
with the most shocking blasphemy.
They were, by their own avowals, the
most cruel barbarians of any age. Ser
vile insurrection and ageneral butchery
of the Southern people was a part of
their programme from the beginning.
The leaders to whom they give their
highest admiration were the men whose
feet were the swiftest in running to
shed innocent blod. Seward won their
affections in his early manhood by
proposing measures from which he
promised that negroes should be inci
ted to “rise in blackest insurrection.
They applauded John Brown to the
echo for a series of the basest murders
on record. They did not conceal their
hostility to the Federal and State Gov
ernments, nor deny their enmity to
all laws which protected the liberties
of white men. The Constitution stood
in their way, and they cursed it bitter
ly; the Bible was quoted ngainBt them
and the reviled God Almighty him
self, I know that the mind of man like
his body, is fearfully and wonderfully
made; I understand all the difficulties
of analyzing human passions, and I
admit we should not judge harshly of
motives; but how these heartless op
pressors of their own race could have
any care for the rights of the negro,
passes my comprehension. Unless
you can explain it otherwise, the judg
ment of history must inevitably be
against the sincerity of their anti-sla
very professions. In the present as
pect of the case, it seems impossible to
believe that the love of the negro was
not assumed as a mere excuse for en
slaving the white race, just as their an
cestors put on the pretense of piety to
gratify their appetite for the properly
and blood of better people than them
selves. You must positively reconsid
er this subject before you undertake
again to present the Abolitionists to the
world in the respectable character o
fanatics. I think you will find that
the crew of the Mayflower brought
over and planted no “germ of an idea
which has flourished with more vigor
than their canting hypocrisy.
Here let me say ugain, that the vice
and wickedness of the Plymouth colo
nists are not to be visited on the heads
of their children, accordingly to the
flesh. Among them, in every part of
the country, are great statesmen, brave
soldiers, true servants of the church,
and virtuous, patriotic Democrats, who
are no more responsible for the crimes
of their ancestors thau a peaceable
Scotchman is for the raids and rob
beries which in past generations were
committed by his clan upon the Eng
lish border. But yon acknowledge
that vou get your political ideas from
them—-you boast that your party has
no doctrineB of public law, and no no
tions of public duty which were not
planted at Plymouth, Therefore, it is
not only proper, but necessary, to
show what those doctrines and ideas
were.
A FUNDAMENTAL LIE.
I pass now to a later period. You
say that there were two radically dif
ferent theories about the nature of our
Government—“the North believing and
holding that we were a nation, the
South insisting that wo were only a
confederation of sovereign States.” It
is not true that any such theoretical
conflict ever existed between the sec
tions. That the Articles of Confedera
tion first, and the Constitution after
wards, united the States together for
certain purposes therein enumerated,
and thus made us a nation among na
tions, was never denied that I kno v
of by any party. But this national
character was given to the General Gov
ernment by sovereign States, who con
federated together for that purpose.
They bestowed certain powers on the
new political corpoiation then Created,
and called it the United States of
America, and they expressly reserved
to themselves all the sovereign rights
not granted in the charter. Democrat
ic statesmen had no theory about it.
They saw their duty written down in
the fundamental law, they swore to
perform it, and they kent their oaths.
They executed the powers of the Gen
eral Government in their whole con
stitutional vigor, for that, as Mr. Jeffer
son said, was “the sheet-anchor of our
peace at home and our safety abroad,”
and they carefully guarded the rights
of the States as the only security we
could have for a just administration of
our domestic affairs. This was uni
versally assented to as right and true.
No counter theory was set up. Differ
ence of construction there might be,
but all admitted that when the line of
power was accurately drawn between
the Federal Government and State
sovereignty, the rights on one side were
as sacred as those on the other. But
within two or three years last past the
low demagogues of your party nave got
to putting in their platforms the asser
tion that this is a nation, and not a
confederation. What do they mean?
What do you mean when you indorse
and reproduce it ? Do you deny that
the States were sovereign before they
united ? Do you affirm that their sov
ereignty was wholly merged in the
.Federal Government when they assent
ed to the Constitution ? Is the Tenth
Amendment a mere delusion ? Do
you mean to assert that the States have
not now, and never had, any rights at
all except what are conceded to them
at the mercy of the “nation?” No
doubt this new article was inserted in
the creed of the abolitionists, because
they supposed it would give a sort of
plausibility to their violent interven
tion with the internal affairs of the
States. But it is so false, so shallow,
and so destitute of all respectable au
thority that it imposes upon nobody,
8ECES3ION A YANKEE PRODUCT.
As a part of this conflict of theories
and resulting from it, you describe the
South as ‘‘insisting that each State had
a right at its own discretion, to break
the Union, and constantly threatening
secession, where the full rights of sla
very were not acknowledges.” In
fact and in truth secession, like slavery
was first planted in New England.
There it grew and flourished and spread
its branches far over the land, loug be
fore it was thought of in the South
and long before “the full rights of sla
very” were called in question by any
body. The anti-Democrats of that re
gion, in former as well as in later times,
totally misunderstood the purposes for
which this Government was made.
They regarded it as a mere commer
cial machine, by which they could
make much "gaynefull pilladge,” if al
lowed to run it their own way. When
they were disappointed in this by cer
tain perfectly just and constitutional
regulations of their trade, which the
common defence and general welfare
made necessary, they immediately fell
to plotting the dismemberment of the
Union. Before 1807 they organized a
conspiracy with the British authorities
in Canada for the erection of New
England into a separate republic under
British protection. iSec Carey’s “Olive
Branch” and the Henry correspond
ence). Not long afterwards Josiah
Quincy, ivhoso fidelity to the party
which elected him was never doubte
formally announced in Congress the
intention of his State to leave the U n
ion, “peaceably if she could, forcibly
if she must.” Their hatred of the Un
ion deepened, and their determination
to break it up grew fiercer, as the reso
lution of the Democrats to maintain
the independence of the country be
came stronger. When the war of lalz
began they were virtually out of the
Union, and remained out during the
whole of that desperate struggle, not
only refusing all assistance to carry it
on, but helping the enemy in every
possible way. It was while England
had her tightest grasp on the throat
