REMARKS OE HON W L YANCEY, OF ALA. IN
THEMHJXMWT GMHmiW.«>WVM HOW. ON
RE-OPENING THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, obtained tbc floor.
He said that he had, under the circumstances,
ccrtskleted it advisable to prepare a report em
bodying his views, which lie would submit to
the Convention.
Mr. Y. then proceeded to read his report,
Which concluded with the following resolu
tion :
“JlMolred, That the laws of Congress pro
hibiting the foreign slave trade ought to be re
pealed.”
Mr. Yancey said that he supposed that the
gist of the remarks of the gentleman troni Vir- :
ginia, (Mr. Pryor) was to be found like the
important part of a ladies letter, in the post
script. He supposed the true reason for his
opposition to the report of the Committee was
to be found in the latter part of his speech, the
effect it would have upon our friends at the
North. God save us from such friends. Have
their fidelity and friendship been exhibited in
the recent passage of the Conference Bill con
cerning Kansas I
Mr. Pryor rose to a point of order, that the
Conterence Kansas bill was not before the Con
vention for discussion, though be was ready to
prove to the Convention that Clay, Davis and
Hunter have not sacrificed the interests of the
South,
The President decided that it was in order
to refer to that subject in reply to the argil- «
ments of the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr.
Pryor.)
Mr, Yancey said he did not intend to discuss
the Kansas Bill, but merely bo refer to it naevi- I
deuce that whenever any sacrifice was made, I
the South made it. Thiseternal cry "how will i
it effect our fl’lends at the North,” embarrasses
our action and makes ns cowards where we
ought to be fearless and bold in defence of our
native land.
The great distinction between the North and
South is to lie found in our peculiar institution.
That distinction has divided churches and bro
ken that Christian unity which the Savior of
mankind inculcated upon his disciples ; » Inch
has given rise to a discrimingtion upon our
statute book from the foundation of thi» gov
ernment to this day, when the last iustaiii'i- of
political and legislative subterfuge was found.
No inolUr who voted for it or off. ied it. ID
are the sovereigns and do not belong to our
representatives. No man admired the almost
entire Smith Carolina delegation more than. !
did; no man more admired the gallant and
eloquent Clay, and the patriotic gentleman who
represents his own district. But Iw was of the
decided opinion tliat tlvose gentlem n have been
deceived by the political ntmospliere in Wash
ington; a film has been drawn over their eves,
and they have done u deed which will prove
deeply injurious to the South. (Applause. I
But he regretted that he could make im issue
with the North; the Conference Bill was a
Southern measure, a Southern wrong and in
jnMice committed under the influence of the
Federal City. The great secret of that meas
ure, which would be ii« time revealed, was that
the coalition between Crittenden. Seward and
Douglas, upon the Squatter Sovereignty prin
ciple, was believed to have power to sweep
away every Northern Democrat. mid it was
necessary to concoct some measure to take the
wind out of their sails. This was done by an
indirect acknowledgement of the Squatter
Sovereignty principle, which Southern men
did not dare openly to acknowledge. He did
not believe the Northern Denmeraey needed
our consideration. They were now elevated ■
far above its, and if we have not been the hew
ers of wood and drawers of water for them,
we have been beckoned to the lowest seats at
the governmental table, and left to take the
second course and gnaw the bones that North
ern rapacity has left to us. They have power i
to protect themselves.
When governmental influence was found to
he sufficient to unite a majority upon a meas
ure which we fondly hoped would settle this
question, one half of our Northern allies were
defeated at home and their places tilled by free
soilers. And when we came to gather the fruit
of that measure, one-half of those left desert
ed us and tried to break down and cripple
Southern rights. And yet we are told in a
Southern convention, reflect, before yon assert
our undoubted right, upon the effect it will
have upon our Northern allies. If we are nev
er to give an open, manly, frank avowal of our
constitutional position in the Union, or if it is to
depend upon a mere subterfuge in regard to
the meaning of which there are a half a dozen
different opinions, then unlike the gentleman
from Virginia, lie was for disunion now. (Ap
plause.) lie would shed his blood to save the
Union as our fathers left it, but not the I nion
which has been reared upon its ruins. The
Union of our fathers.has already been dissolv
ed by oppression and fraud, and there was no
drop of blood in his heart that he was not
ready to shed in defence of Southern rights
against that Union, (apphmso.)
He did not love every section of his country
equally. A man who knew no North, South.-
East ot West, but was for the I nion, was. for
the spoils without reference to the rights of the
people. His—the speaker’s—first love was for
those nearest to him ; if lie had any left, then ;
it was for his neighbor, whom he was directed
to love as himself, and he would try to du so. !
if he would permit him. When justice is done !
to ourselves, our next care should be to sec that |
we did no injustice to others.
What was the measure recommended to the :
Convention? The repeal of a law which dis-|
criminates against the labor of the South. Is
there an Alabamian here who does not endorse
that sentiment? Is there a Virginian here who ;
does not endorse it? The General Government
has no right to discriminate against us. The
Constitution does not authorize it. It says
‘•‘Congress shall enact no law prohibiting the
emigration or importation of such persons as
the States now allow before the year 1808.”
That very clause was a constitutional guaran
tee of slavery and the slave trade, because it
forbids ‘Congress to interfere with it before :
1808. In 1807 a law was passed that after 1808
no slaves should be imported into this Union,
which law was unconstitutional in its discrim
inations against the South. The South was al- ,
lowed a representative for three-fifths of their
slaves, for their property, which was in favor
of the South, as the North had no represents-
Uve allowed for their property.
This abolition idea was not a n uw one in j
1807. We are indebted to Virginia for the
conception of that idea, whatever her position
now. Thomas Jcfl'erson, fresh from the great
field of the trench revolution, where the ideas
of liberty had run into what we now call red
republicanism, the idea that the black was i
equal to the white man, spread that idea in
I V irginia, and from him it was transmitted to
i father and son, and even in Virginia is not now
| quite uprooted.'for in no other Honthe.-n Htate
| could Eli Thayer establish his abolition colo
ny. In 1807 these ideas previrtled in Virginia,
. and this law was passed making the importa
tion of slaves a Biisdemeanor. Was not that
1 a violation of flic spirit, if not the letter, of
j the Ccnstitutjßn? Wliat became of our equality
when that law was passed prohibiting ns from
importing our labor, while the North was left
fi-ec to import theirs ? A preponderance was
. given to the white labor of the North emijra
kiiig from Europe, while our tabor was uut to
be increased except frrifn ItsTialiiral increase. •
The gentleman from South Carolina, (Mr.
Spratt,) in his report, advances the idea that,
if slavery is right, every just measure to its
formation must inevitably be right. If it is
right that the institution of shivery shall be in
corporated in the constitutional basis of this
country, it is right that the South should se
cure and enlarge its basis of labor, as much as
it is right for the North to enlarge its basis of
labor by emigration of laborers from Europe.
The only difference is, that the one labor came
under the bead of im|»rtation, the other un
der the head of immigration; the one wits
I black labor the other was white. The law of
I 1807 discriminated against Southern labor,
mid in favor of Northern labor. That law
was unconstitutional. The argument was
made by Northern men, that when the consti
tution said that no law should be passed of the
kind before 1808, it followed, as a matter of
course, that Congress hail the right to pass the
law after that time. But it is a principle of
construction, that in construing the meaning
of the constitution, you shall not destroy any
of its plain and palpable principles. One prin
ciple of the constitution was the equality in the
Union of Southern States with Northern States,
which equality this law destroyed.
The gentleman said that he held in his hand
a suggestion from a friend from Georgia. “If
it is right to raise slaves for sale, is it not. J
right, to import them ?” He would put this ■
‘question to the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr.
Pryor.) Suppose a captain from New Orleans I
were to ask the gentleman from Virginia if it
was lawful for him to buy slaves and take them
to New Orleans. The answer would be it was
lawful, provided he did not l«i.y them in Cuba, I
Brazil or Africa. The captain wmM sa*U.
where shall I buy tlicm? The gentleman, ac- |
mated by that peineipie of interest which gov
erns all mankind, would naturally tell him to i
come to Rirtunond and buy slaves there. —
Now. if it is fight to buy his slaves in Virginia
and carry them to New Orleans, why is it ru-t
right to buy them in Cuba, Brazil and Africa, I
and carry them there? The gentleman will
say there is nothing wrong in that morally,
Uut be would point to the federal statistics
which discrimiiiute in fnvot of Virginia and
against Cuba. Brazil and Africa, preventing the
captain from Inlying his slaves where he could ■
obtaiu them the cheapest. South Carolina has
her [iccnliai- notions of free trade, and at one i
time her State bristled with arms in support
of her right to buy sugar in Cuba instead of,
Louisiana And yet she is- now compelled to
l«nv slaves in Virginia instead of Cuba, Brazil
or Africa.
In 1807 the slave trade was declared a mis
demeanor. In 1820 it was declared piracy.— I
And yet we must n<4 denxuxl the repeal of
these discriminating laws tor fear we may of
fend our nothern allies, and perchance defeat
some aspirant for the Presidency. The gen
tleman from \ irginia refers to the opinions of.
Christendom upon this subject—they are rath
er the opinions of devildom. The great advocates
of what is called Christendom have met in con
vention in the northern States and voted if the
Bible recognised slavery, it was the work of
the devil rather than of God. And New En
gland male and female teachers mid parents
have endeavored to impress upon. tl«e minds of
tlte youth there tliat God himself should be de
throned if he recognized African slavery.
Now, it it is not wrong to hold slaves and to
buy them and sell them, it is right in morals
and under the constitution which guarantees
the institution, that we should buy them in ;
whatever place we may choose to select, lie
did not wish to be compelled to go to Virginia
and buy slaves for £1,50(1 each whew he could .
get them in Cuba for £(>00, or upon the coast of 1
Guiuea for one-sixth of that sum.
What has been the effect of this discrimina
tion against the South? Our labor has increas
ed from one million of slaves at the revolu
tion to four millions. The North has had an
average annual immigration of 350,000, and
sometimes the immigration has reached GOO,-,
001) a year. They have been enabled to colo
nize our common territory, and now number
fifteen, States to our Jifteen. And the great
leader of Ireesoildotn in the Senate of the
United States told us the other day that they
would huvd nineteen Stub- to <wr fifteen. In
consequence of these discriminating laws we
are prohibited from populating the territory of
this country though it belong to us all in com
mon.
It was not proposed to re-establish the slave
trade, but to place that question where every
other question of trade should be placed, Mid
subject to the principles of supply and de
mand. It was simply proposed to wipe out
from our statute books the mark of Cain which
lias been placed upon our institutions, that we
may stand in this government as equals.
He had confined himself to that lino of ar- -
giimeut that he considered as particularly ap
plicable to the. resolution embodied in the re
port he had had the honor to submit to the con
vention.
There were differences of opinion among
southern men as to whether the slave trade
ought to be re-established. His resolution
avoided those differences of opinion, by mere
ly proposing to> repeal the discritninrlillg laws
which bad past against the South. The slave i
trade would be left where the constitution left
it, to be goxietiiutd, by the law sos supply and
demand’.
The gentlenum from Virginia argued that if
the slave trade was re-opened, it would depre
ciate the price of our present slave labor, de
preciate the price of land, and come in conflict
with the interest of our poor while population.
In reply to that, he would say that if that, was
true, then those who had negroes or land tie
I sell, and interested in keeping up high prices,
would not embark in this trade, and the poor
I white man would not encourage it. Hint mar-
I ket would be governed precisely as the horse,
mule, corn and cotton markets are now gov
erned, by the law of supply and demand But
it is a mistaken idea to suppose that tjie price of >
! the slaves would be depreciated, tor the price
I depends upon other causes. But the gentle
! man was mistaken in supposfng-t’uit it. was the
interest of the Southern planters to keep, up
the high price of slaves. It was their interest
, to oiltam their lalrir cheaply, because they
want to raise their produce cheaply. It is the
price of their produce that interests them. — j

ger that the price of cotton would be depre
ciated ; more was produced now than ever be
fore, and yet cotton raising was never before so
profitable.
The gentleman argued that sparseness of
population was strength. The natural deduc
tion from that was, that we should go to work
and exjsirt all our negroes, except the small
est possible nnmber, and also our white men,
in order to make the highest point of prosper
ity. The argument proved itself to be absurd.
The gentleman also says that the less we
produce, the greater the profit. Then instead
of producing four millions of bags of cotton
which we now do, we should reduce the pro
duction to say one bag.
As to the reduction in the value of land by
the re-opening of the slave trade, he would ask
why the land in the South, though ns rich nnd
fertile as any in the world, brought tea* in the
market than the coinparativeh .Sftule laud of
New England and N’etv York ? It uim because
the South lacked the supply of labor necessa
ry to cultivate her land wliik- m tire North
the land was not enough for the supply of la
bor.
There is no amount of ingenious reasoning,
no clap trap of word* no trick in language that
can do away with the great law that if you in
crease the number of slave owners you increase
the basis ot the institution. There is no de
nying that there is a large emancipating inter
est in 5 irginia and Kentucky, nnd Maryland
and Missouri, the fruits of wliich we see in 11.
W inter Davis, Cassius M. Clay mid Thoms H.
Benton. We need to strengthen this institu
tion : and how better can we do that than by
showing the non-slaveholding class of our cit
izens that they can buy u negro for S2OO dol
lars which in a few years by his care and in
struction, will become worth a thousand dol
lars ? Teach the poor man whocannot now buy a
negro, Unit by this means he can buy one, you
secure him to the interests of the South.
But it is said to us— eui boon? What good!
is this? The North has the power, .and will
not repeal these laws. That is no reason why
we should not resist. Nations- shnicM he ac
tuated by the same high sense of honor as in
dividuals. If a man spits in my face I will
strike him, though he may thrash me. I know
wo cannot wrest this justice from Hie dominant
North. Tliey laavo ftostemedi the slkiekles up
on us, and will not loose them. But let us
stand up and resist them like men. If the prin
ciyJe es sral (mission is to sway the councils of
the South, it will not be long before wfll'befiilfill
ed the boast of Seward that the whole Ameri
can continent would soon be under the flag of
this Union, and there wonld not be upon it the
foot of a slave. He is a calm, cool man, not
given to imaginative speculation, but he spoke
this in the fullness of Ids heart as what he be
lieved. He told this when goaded by his
tli.i<-k-licaded associate, Hale, foe voting for the
increase of tine anny. winch he expected to
command himself in 1860, that he had not de
signed us to get a glimpse of.
There are elements entering into the opin- !
ions ot gentlemen is]x.n this question that I
ought not. to- enter here—elements of national I
party; opinions of Christendom, Ac. Public
sentiment needs some corrective upon this sub
ject; and the corrective can only be made by
directing the public attention to this subject.—
U e can agitate our wrongs; we lone ne> rights
I fear to agitate ; we can agitate our injuries:
we have no favors to talk abou*.
We are told that we shook! n»t assert Yl»-i
rights of tlw South upon th.is isewe. Will the I
gentleiniui from Virginia stn jjwhat is tlx- is
sue u|x>u. which the South should contest their i
rights ?
Mr. Pryor said, lie was no! willing to .wert
the rights ot 11m v South upon the proposition to
kidnap cannibals from Africa, or buy slaves of
the King of Dahomey. But sltould a Black
Republican President be Installed in the Exec
utive chair in Washington, and the power :
of the government is palpably in his hands
wlicncver tlie gentleman can satisfy the intelli
gence of the people- cX" Virginia in sufficient I
number to justify the irzovcmcnt, then he was '
willing to make the issue, and lie could pledge
Virginia not to be behind Alabama. And he
would say farther, that when the issue was
presented, and he was convinced that a
minority even of the peeple of Alabama were,
iijnin mature consideration, willing to leave the
I nion, they of Virginia would be ready to go
with them. [ Applause.]
Mr. Yancey said, he was unfeignedly happy
that he had been able to draw from the gentle
man from Virginia such n declaration. This
morning he was for waiting for a United South;
now he would join with Alabama alone. Tin- )
speaker had great hopes in agitating ticks ques
tion; he trusted that the attention of the peo
ple of the South would be aroused to the as
sertion ot their rights. If this dcmaudl should
be refused by the North, it would be one oth
er evidence that injustice is the ruling spirit of
the hour in onr national legislature. There
would be one link more between Southern
men and Southern men—one link more snap
ped between Southern men and Northern men.
It is folly to talk about a united South ; but
a trick of words to damp the enthusiasmi of nir
people. He referred, to. the Roman patriot who
leaped ineo-ahe i-l.asnutu saw his country, and
asked if there were more in our midst ready to
make the sacrifice.
He did not design what he had said to be ta
ken as mere declamation. He fully and earn
estly meant all he had said, lie had reflected
upon these matters much imi? dec ply, ami be
lieved that the representatives of the Southern i
States had effectually mistaken the minds ot
the South. The ueople of the South had ex
pected that their representatives would have
been with them, and were thunderstruck when |
they hadfouml that itJ wae not so.
Let ns look no longer to the North for assis- .
tauce Let us turn our faces to the South.—
Are you ready, countrymen ? is your courage !

CONGRESS.
The report of die Kansas Conference Com .
mittee, being taken up as the special order of
the day. wa< discussed by Messrs. Douglas,
Brown. Toombs, Wilson, Green and Bell.
Mr. Douglas dechirc-d his opposition to the I
bill of the committee, the terms of which seem- j
ed to him imfair and nneq/ial, offering as they .
do to the people of Kansas a bounty on the j
one hand and a penalty on the other. They
were left, it is trie-, to strike down tlie Lesomp ’
tun Constitution, but the question was put in
such a maimer as to hold out an inducemenr%<-
vote in its favor while a disability was attach
ed as a consequence of vooing it di>» n. The
Constitution itself was not fairly submitted.
The Democracy of his State tmd rec ently met i
in general convention and nad solemnly de
clared ia favor of submitting the Constitution 1
of Kansas, as of all tile Territories, tins disect
jmpular vote. He would obey the will of his
Slate in this regard, coinciding with the convic
tions of liis own judgment. This bill c ontain
ed important eoneeasions, but they did not
reach the great principle for which be was con
Uacjingv Li amended m» as to present the sin-
gle question of adniissimi. uncomplicated with
land grants; or if the people were allowed by
its terms to form another emistitiilion in case
i they rejected that of Lecompton, with the
i same land grants for Iwith. he would lie free to
I give to the bill his support, though not liking
I all its details. Or if it had been proposed to
1 end the controversy by establishing at once the
I general principle that al! the Territories (Kun-
I sas included) should proceed to form a ‘ --osli
. tution and State government only after it isas-
• eertained that they have a suflieierw population
to entitle them fr» «ie repre-cnCetive in the
! popular Lrarrcfi of Congress, he would have
been willing to make that proposition the basis
,of adjustment. But he could not accept one
, ratio for slave States aad another tor free
States, Were S.nvthent men willing to recog
nize such a precedent? He closed his earnest
argument by nvowingJiis determination to ad
here tu the great- principle ot popular sover
eignty in all its logical consequences what
ever might be the personal consequences to
himself.
Mr. Brown declared that he did not like the
bill of the committee, and he presumed that
few Southern Senators were satisfied with it.
So earnestly, however, did he desire to end the
pending sectional agitation that lie was willing
to accept this bill as a measure of peace, lie
did not understand the bill to submit the] Con
stitution to tlie vote of the people, who,"how
ever in voting on the collateral issue presented
to them might or might not be influenced by
their opinions of the Lecompton instrument.
The question of accepting atz amended ordi
nance was the only question submitted by
Congress—a question which was equally pre
sented by the original Senate bill, since if the
people of Kansas laid expressly rvfiased t.lu-ir
assent to the-terms iff tlie ordinance provided
by time bil-lL tin.- Leeraupton Constitution would
hme fidJen to the ground. The substitute of
the committee differed from the bill of the Sen
ate n» specifically providing for a contingency
which was left open by the hitter.
Mr. Toombs avowed his hearty concurrence
with the bill of the committee on its prutei
ptes and m its details. It fully met all bis re
quirements, because it left the Lecompton Con
stitution precisely where the Senate bill had
left it. the admitted work and « ill of the peo
ple of Kansas. The bill contained no bribe to
that people. On the contrary, by greatly re
ducing the land grants of the ordinance, it
might rn.th*T lie sari to rodnastheiiaJuct-inetiits
for voting in favor of accepting them. If it be
said that under this bill tlie people, may reject
the Lecompton Constitution, it only remains
, t>»sny si ml they might have done the same in
• ease the Senate bill had passed, by refusing to
organize any government under the Lecomp-
; ton Constitution.
Mr. Wilson protested warmly against the
adoption of the committee’s bill, which was,
in his judgment, a bribe to tlieqieopk- »w the
one hand and a threat on the other, lie did
not doubt the steadfastness of the people of
Kansas, but he did doulit whether a fair vote
could be secured under this bilk Why was
the board of eommis.sii.ners to hold the elec
tion changed from four to five, with a majori
ty given to Federal uppoiutees? What faith

notorious for t lieirc-miplicit v in election frauds,
were retailed in power by the present Admin
istrntioa, while Gov. Walker, lor rejecting the j
shaineless forgeries of -lohnstm and McGee
comities, incurred the Executive displeasure?
After a few remarks by Mr. Green mid by
Mr. Wilson on a collateral issue—
Mr. Bell proceeded briefly to assign the rea
sons which hail determined him to vote aginnrt
the substitute of the committee. He ju-vtaeed
his able argument by recapitulating the points
which determined, in his judgment, tlm ebiui
acter ot the Lecompton CoostnSusion. His
great aim in the pending controversy had been
to find the basis of a speedy and permanent
adjustment. The presciit tail did not seen, to .
meet this condition. He would not say that
it offered any bribe to the people of Kansas,
nor wor‘..l he curiorasly inipiim iiuav tar it was
consistent or inconsistent with the original
Senate bill. Certain it was that it did give the I
people of chut Territory nn opportunity to
pass upon the Leconqiton CoixtiUitiou, lut
unfortunately it offered no assurance or cer
tainty of closing up the question at an early
day. In case the people rejected the proposi
tion of Congress die whole difficulty remained
oi.tt-tuiding as the fertile scairee of future agi
tations. Were it not for this fatal omission
the hill in all probability would have received
hi- support. As it was, it seemed to afford
only a new evidence that neither of the two
political confederations who were parties to
this Mictional contest sincerely desired to-close
up the question.
REJOICINGS AT WASHINGTON.
Tin passage of the bill to iulmit Kai sas-as n
State into the Union—was die occasion of much
rejoicing in Washington : national salutes were
tired on Friday night and the Washington
Union of Sunday says :
Yesterday was emphatically a day of con
gratulation among all true-hearted Union men
at this metropolis, and ns it was generally un
derstood that the President would be serenad
ed in the evening, the avemic was crowded
soon after dark. About 9 o’clock the Murine
Band passed up towards the Executive .Man
sion in a large omnibus, drawn by four horses,
and was followed by an immense concourse. —
The cannoniers were also out. and thundered
forth a salute from their field piece opposite ■
the north front of the Executive Mansion,
while the band, taking its position beneath the
portico, played " Hail Columbia.” Before they
had completed, a dense crowd had congregated
and was constantly increased by new arrivals,
until at least two thousand persons were as
sembled, including quite a number of ladies.
The time, the place, tlie exultant cheers, the
loud bootning of the cannon, the patriotic
strains of the band —all combined to form a
picturesque-mid imposing scene, which will long
lie remembered by those wh» were fortunate
enough to witness iL
At the close of the national anthem three
cheers were proposed and given tor the .Presi
dent of the United Stat ,-s. and ere they had.sub
sided, Mr. Buchanan appeared ut the window
over the hall door. lie appeared to lie in per
fect health and spirits, and when the cheering
with which he wasgreetedwusso liusbixltliati lie
could be heard, lie addressed the assembled
multitude in a clear and distinct voice, with his I
usual pleasing style of eloquence.
THE 1-KKsniEST S OrtMCKv
Gentlemen :—l feel very much honored by
the kindness which you have display ed in com
ing in such respectable mimliers to give me a
serenade. I have long been iu-qiuunled with
Washington. I have been iuluiude with my
fellow-eitizei'S of this city for a longer period
than many of you have lived, and I have nev-1
er received anything, but kindness, and good
will from the (sipulation of this District. — :
[Cheers.] I thank you cordially that the kind
ness which your fathers have extended to me •
still lives in the breast of their children, and 1
hope when I leave this city, if I live to return j
to my quiet homo. I shall endeavor to carry
with me your affectionate regard, which I shah
endeavor to deserve. [Applause ] This is a
great occasion on which ywa have assembled.
It is far above men. The best iwteresta of the
i country were involved in this long centleaL
, which basso happily terminated. [Applause]
I 1 hope and believe the result will tend to pro
i mote the peore and junwperity of our glorious
, Union, [cheers. | nnd of ail the people upon the
, earth, the people of Washington are the most
interested in preserving this unity of interests
• which has rendered us glorious abroad, and
■ successful and prosperous at home. [Cheers.]
I do not think it wonld be becoming in me to
enter into any discussion of the great question
which has so happily terminated. 1 therefore
must conclude these brief remarks with again
repeating to you how heartily I feel your kind
ness, and how gratefully 1 shall ever remem
l her it to the last period of my existence.—
I [Cheers.]
The President, having retired, again ap
proached the window and remarked that there
I were several gentlemen with him. He did not
know whether his friend Toombs would be
willing to speak or not. Immediately there
was a loud and prolonged call ti>r Senator
Toombs, who came forward, :ai:d so soon, as
i quiet was restored, spoke as 1-Hows-:.
MK. TOOMim' sCELcII.
Being introdnieed by the distinguished pa
triot ami Chief .VSagiXrate who has jiwi.-uhlres
ed yon, as well as encouraged by your compli
mentary notice, 1 suppose I must join my con
gratulations with you upon this auspicious oc
casion, which calls for rejoicing thronghout
this broad land. After a contest of ten years,
growing out of sectional differences, we have
yesterday in the House of Representatives and
Senate pass, if a measure, and I doubt not it
will be confirmed by the President of the Unit
ed States, of great permanent peace for our
selves and children after ns. [ Applause] This
is a pacification in -which' then- hits been no
concession by the North to the South, or the
South to the North, but in a spirit of brother
hood and patriotism they have come together
and settled their sectional differences upon nsa
cred, and permanent, and fundamental ground
of public principle and public honor. [Ap
plause.] Therefore ns there is a triiwnph no
where, there is :v sting nowhere, and we see
nothing in the bright and briiTi'ant future but
petwv mid lainnony. mid prosperity to the glo
ricHia orgiiiiizatfion of the democratic party who
have brought the country safe through all the
struggle. Therefore, gentlemen, I have a right
to rejoice. Let us nil rejoice. Let the voice
reverberate from the hill tops and through
the valleys all over this land —from the Atlan
tic to the I’acitie-—from the lakes to the Gulf—
that there is peace, true peace, honorable
' peiu-e, throughout all the laud of America.—
[ Apphuise.] And who ure there to oppose it;
who shall raise a voice to destroy it?—[a
voice in the crowd : ‘Nobody.’] Where shall
it come from ? It can only come from tin- dis
appointed cabal—the coalition who traffics in
public safety nnd public honor, and they will
sink in inglorious obscurity while the star of
America shall rise and shine transcendent now
nnd forever. [Great cheering. |
The crowd then proceed to the residence of
Senator Hunter, Hon. A. 11. Stephens and oth
ers, and eoplimentcd them with a serenade.—
