I know not that I sxcr had my indignation more highly excited than il was upon rending the report of Mr. Clay’# conduct in relation to the ahnli'ion petitions. Ido lint believe that 'he Bntilh hat a more decided, or h more dangerous enemy in Congress than this man. I ahould judge from hi* deporlinenl, h r twenty year* pait, that tin liigbeet aim, i*. lo promote seclion nl diffeisnees, in or. leu that he mny have the honor of allaying timai. I ahould have the more reaped for him, il in engendering atrife he would occasionally change vide*. Not ao, how ever, with him. lln i« always on the aide of the eppreaaor, until he finda (he oppressed will en dure no longer, and then he, take* a wonderful yearning for the Union, atepa *th hetween the contending panic*, compromise* the matter, and then walks off with the honor of having aavod the Union.

The witnesses invoked against u* are the servants, the auxiliaries, mid abettors 1 of our persecutors—the testimony, was lo mat ter* with which every school hoy in tho eountiy ! wa« familiar, and the conclusion, the most ex- I Iravagantf Unnatural and preposterous that ever wo* deduced from premises, hy a* man of corn- I •non sense. Reader, look at tho altitude of Mr. Clay at this lima, in connexion with the history of abolitionism for the three past years. Tho Abolitionists hnvu not held their meetings in a teloacl. J'hey have made no secret el their aim, or of their principles. They aim at universal emancipation, nod I hoy do il from u sense of re ligioua duty. This is the honest truth , C the matter; and nothing that congress has done, nr 1 cun do, can attest their increase or puralizo their ' efforts. Have they net avowed nt nil times and j in all places that they mean lo drive slavery | from the United States? Have they not flooded j the southern •tales with their papers and their | pamphlets? Can you pick up a school hook ( without seeing their disorganizing ptincipleg in one form or another insidiously winked up in jt? | 1* not the slavery of the south the theme ol their j ceaseless obloquy, satire, anil invective? Did they not rommenco their operations hv tin at tack of the institution of which Mr. Clay is the head and boast—the Union!/..itjnn society* he- t cause that soeiely was for transporting the slave loa land id freedom, while they were tin eOmnei pating hiniJin the land of h.s liitth? Do they not ; tell U* that Texas shall not coma into the un ton because I'c.ras tolerates slttvci r/. —That no i territory should he admitted into the union us a j alate Iml mi condition nf its abolishing slavery ; within it* limits? Are they not carrying their i restriction* into all the churches, and insulting 1 the layman and the Christian slave-holder every where? And with all these laets staling him in tlie face, will Mr. (.’lay gel up in the Senate and a»k whether these iiiecndiuiiea aim at any thing more than the abolition of slavery in the District Columbia? And whether their increase is not owing to the discourtesy nf Congress! Now. if Mi. Clay wisbc: tojoin this hopeful gang, whv Jet him do il; but their j* no necessity for his pretending to he an ediot, us an apology for lit* Joining them. How very conclusive low was the testimony upon which he made up his mind to yield to their demands! Three or four members from tho I,astern states and one from New Jor- j *ey, answer his question* in (taking special cure, by the way, to skip the see- ' ond) and this is oviden e so satisfactory lo Mr. 1 Clay's mind that he forthwith espouses tho • cause es tho abolitionists. Tray what could ■ these three or four witnesses know nf the matter [ more than he know himself! Were they let into the secret motives o( the petitioners, even from their own stales! And what the motives nr influence of the petitioners from those .‘tales, compared with the whole number! About half the petitioner! are women, and Mr. Olay on qulrera of the Northern son alms whether these ladies, or some ol them, have not been prompted to their course by ti e belief that the last Con- S’i'eti had jnteifcrod w ith a high constitutional right—the tight nf petition? For these ladies certain senators undertake to answer, and Mr. Cloy is perfectly satisfied. Wto believes that these women tver thought about the constitu tional right of pe t ton! Every body knows why the abolitionists havo increased. In their war upon the south, they pul nothing at hazard but llie I nion; and they believe, and with some reason, that the Bmilhmt Buies cannot ho goaded or kicked out oi tire Union.— ll is our peace that is disturbed, our pro petty that is to he sactiftcid, one throats that are lo he cut. One may well he chat liable w hen he gives from another’s purse. Hut llie great cause of their increase is, the congeniality of thei r sentiments, with die prevailing opinions ol man kind, itt the present age. I* il moruelous that .Imericant should he zealous champions of lib erty ? Who rejoices more than the Suiilhfrn people, at the overthrow of despotism in all quarters of the globe ? Hut wo never think of enler.og lh« dominions of the despot for the pur pose of reforming his government, or exciting his subjects to revolt—much loss do we think ol he.. Reaching a stronger power, in violation of solemn treaties or compacts, to usurp his authority, nod proclaim freedom to his vassals Here ts the damning sin of the aboliiioijists. Their princi pies are good enough ; (an 1 henn their rapid diffusion,) liul lo put throe prineij Its in practice, they arc violating engagement* cemented will, the lilond of their fathers, encouraging nsurpation. slirring' up civil war, invading plicate iioh(s, in termeddling with foreign governments, and cov ering their designs with hypocrisy and falsehood. They are therefore, not unaptly termed fanatic*■ The truth is not in them, when they nay that their aims emend no farlho - than the District of j Columbia, and that their zest has been fired hy | (he conduct of Congress towards them: end all : this Mr. Clay very well knows. In view of all 1 these things, I venture to predict, that their la' hors will end in their own ruin, not ours. I esn find nowhere within the lids of the hilde, where curses are denounced upon the slave holder; on the, contrary, I find there, much lo encourage him if ho fai*hfully perform the duller of a master, hut I find the sacred volnn.n replete with die heaviest denunciations against opposers of the powers that he, authors of strife and sedition, hypocrites, revilers, slanderers, and all the cata. login- of sins width (ho abolitionists arc commil j ting, in order to accomplish their benevolent pur poses. Mr flay having selected his witnesses, ami , put the answers which he wi-hed, into their i mouths, l.y the form of li la ipjesti uis, concludes | ' that the licet way lo pre -rve peace, is to bring , t .‘ongress to the terms o( the ale htioni* is. \V hen ■•o is told, (hut it will never do lo yield one inch to these, despctadoea, because f very concession will only encourage them lo new exactions—he replies —"if you do not yield, their numbers will bo increased. 1 ' When be is told that they have no light lo annoy Congress with such petitions as these : he replies—“hut r/icy think they have a right, and they will become more desperate and unyio ding, if Congress docs not treat their opin- | mns with becalming respect 1” When he is told 1 that the whole Wou h thinks dillcreirlly : lie re i plies—"l do not go for any particular section o 1 j the country, hut for the whole country.” V\ hen he ia told, that the Houlhern States will secede from the Union, if this ceaseless war upon their Conslilulional rights, he pushed much farther: he replies—"l wi ll we had a rule id the Senate, | that made it penal in tiny member, to speak of disunion.” And when he is asked what he prom ises the country, from indulging these modern \ j crusaders i he says—“that he will thereby sepa. j rule the abolitionists, (rum the mere champions 1 ol the right of petition,”—that is, ho will hav e j j ihe satisfaction ol knowing the sheep from the 1 1 goals; and the country will have ail the security which is to ho derived from tins knowledge. Now how this logic hills upon the car of others, I do not know ; but it sends boiling through my veins every drop of my Southern blood. I’tuy, what claims have the abolitionists to his special re gards ! In Cod’s name, will not Mr. Clay go for a section, when ho sees a regular, systematic, tin disguised attack, upon the property and the Con- i slituiionnl rights ol that section I Are all the distinctions of right and wrong, guilt and inno cence, to be lost sight of in view of the Union 1 ... ! Is this a conflict, ill which meekness, forbearance ♦ I patience, and submission, arc becoming virtues .in the Botith I Asking nothing but peace, dis. nulling nobody, defending nothing hut our nc. I know lodged rights, and with every tiling that we | J hold dear, periled by a blind and reckless fanali- | cism, arc we to ho insulted with strictures upon . sectional attachments, and lectures upon love the Union'! I can conceive of nothing better calcu lated lo enkindle burning indignation in tho ; breast of u high minded, honorable man, than tho I conduct of Mr. Clay in this matter. It is precise, | 1 ly like that of the man who gives the lash lo his unoffending brother, and with every blow ex claims, “Do not ho angry, do not talk of resist- 1 anco, or I shall become more uncompromising— i j teiuerabcr too, that wo aro brothers, and should 1 cling together with fraternal alTeetion—talk not of your individual pains ; think of the whole fain- { ily ; all the members of which, who reside in ray | habitation, think I have a right lo flog you, and I will unite with me in chastising you, if you dis- I pule this tight.” Beautiful doctiinc this to come i from one of the first men in the nation. Hut, Mr. Clay thinks, a calm and temperate report of a committee, w ".rid appease tho nboli | ironists. So Mr. Pinckney thought; and he gave j them a culm and temperate report; and the eon ! sequence has boon, that they have doubled in : number, and quadrupled in insolence, lint who cares, whether they are appeased or not ! who that Ima a spark of spiiit would yield the thou■ i | sundlh part of an inch lo appease them! By tak ing a hold and decided stand against them at once, !we may, at least, save our character; for they are never lo be appeased. I would thcrelorc, imme diately mark out the line to which I would per" m l them to come—and I would do nothing - to i repel them (torn it, or to encourage them to it. I would sav, that tho moment slavery was abolish ed in the District of Columbia, 1 would dissolve the Union; and having formed my resolution, 1 would calmly wait the hour for putting it in execution. .Something of this kind the tSoulh must do, and that ijuickly or she is inevita bly ruined. If the people of tho North knew ; the utmost limit of our forbearance, they would he extremely cautious in approaching it. If tho people of the South knew it, they would be prepared lo move in one body as soon as was approached. But as things are progressing a dissolution ol the I nion is inevita ble ; and it is to come under circumstances alto gether prejudicial to the South, lire. Noith knows our love of the Union, and she counts i largely upon our weakness, and our loars; with every concession therefore she will he encoura ged to demand more until at last one and anolh i or stale will break off, amidst disputes and wrang ling about their temerity, and all will be disorder j | and confusion. Let the Southern States then j 1 declare through their primary or legislative as sembles, or both, (hat they will quit the Union, ; the%ntnenl that slavery is abolished in the Dis trict of Columbia, and then let the Southern del egates in Congress be silent in regard to the aboli tion petitions : If any thing tan save the Union ibis will. But if tho Southern people do nor wish to court their own distraction, let them throw off their apathy, arid begin to bestir them selves in their own defence.
