el miserable nborlious and failures, thai
have only served to plunge me couniry in
trnuli e and diflicultv. Hut of an tlio
vm.rimenis vet made in this line, I regard
that of nominating Fremont as the wildest

llie representative of a parly that chooses
lo carry on the battle exclusively on a
Suutlierii sectional issue, whilst Fremont is
the representative of a party that lakes

oilier day that in the Senate of the United
Suites, John P. Hair, one of the King Bees
- in tb hive, sa'ul :
"Tim doctiiiio which has been proclaim
ed by the inon about whom I know any
thing, engaged in the Anti-Slnvcry enter
prise of the North, has always been that
they disclaimed and denied, utterly, the
purpose, the desire, or the power, to inter-
' fere wills slavery in any State where it ex
ists. Tho most ultra of them, in the first
inaiinnnl meeting they ever held as a Con
, ention utterly disclaimed it."
No, fir ; tlio only danger to which sla
vory is exposed is from making its escape
into the free States J and that is to be
nvoidodonly by excessive vigilance on the
part of the owners, and by the punishment
of those who entice them off, when appre
hended. This property must be guarded
in that respect as best you can as you
guard your other property from a North
ern burglar or inaendiary neither the gen
eral Government nor tho Union is respon
sible for it. Nor will abusive and intern-
. perate language, of threats of separation
from tho North, prove a remedy for the
Bvil. A Imrclar from the North enters my
neiidibor't dwelling and carries off his
iewelrv and nlnte. You do not charge it
upon the entire Northern population, and
hold them responsible for the larceny, and
threaten to dissolve, the Union because his
, property is not fouud and restored ; all you
can demand is that when the roguo is da-
; tectcd, you shall have the property return
ed and the guilty pnrty punished. Anoth
er, who came with the burglar, entices my
slave to accomoanv him to the North, and
immediately a hue and cry is raised against
theentire Northern population, and noth
' ing but threats of disunion greet our ears
until the case is worn threadbare and tor
gotten. I have seen two cases of kidnap.
-ing, or stealing negroes, reported as being
aWoaght to the notice of our courts, within
. the last week one from North Carolina,
and tho other from the District of Colum
bia. Why not hold all the people of the
State of North Carolina and of the District
of Columbia in like manner responsible for
the guilt of the offenders, and separate
vourselvea from them also f Thcro are
good and bad men in all communities ; but
1 have no idea et homing me guou ineu
rpsnnnsihlfl for the misdeeds of the wicked.
There are good men in the North, and the
monortion is lust as lare us it
South ; and I will not justify this indis
criminate wholesale slander of the North
nor give countenance to the demoniac cry
of party, lo dissolve the Union, whenever
. we hear of a runaway slave rnaKins ii e
cane to the North. Murders, kidnapping,
robberies, arsons, and running off of slaves
will occur as long as men exist ana slaves
are within their reach, and no laws, human
or divine, will prevent thera. They mus
be punished accordins to law when th
. euiltv patties are detected ; and that, with
proper caution and vigilance, is your only
remedy dissolve the Union, and '.here
would be fifty cases for one now under th
Constitution. But it is said the election
of Fremont will be just eroiind for a disso
lulion of tha Union ; and it has been charg
d that Mr. Fillmore has said in one o!
hii speeches, that "his election wou'd not
and ooi(!it not to be submitted to by the
lice to say that I do not understand him to I question tha propriety of that law, or the
i i.i i. ihtnn nnJ I must do riubt to nasi it, ho should be subject to uu-
myself t'ie JiiHlico to iy, that if ho had ut- pnsoninent at hard labor for not ! than

moro to havo said was this: "That if the
principle was carried out by Mr. Fremont
or tho Republican party, ofexcluding eve

pation in irovoriinicnt, if the same rulo

was to be otiserven in 1110 appointment 01
his Cnbint-t council, foreign ministers, judg
es, and nihninistraiivo oft'ofM, thnt the
South ought not tosubnnt." (urcat cheer
ing.) Now, I do not mean to say that Mr. Fro
mont, if elected, will do nolhina to cause
or justify a distolution of the Union J but
what I do lay is, thai his ciecuon oy nm
people, lawfully nnd constitutionally ex
pressed, furnishes no ground for n dissolu
tion, and he it insane who contcmjriuttt any
tuck thing; and I will say more I will
say it furnishes no just ground of com-
plaint to tlio Uemocracy, as iney nrsi mauo
the issuo by tho repeal of tho Missouri
Compromiso, nnd hnvo ever sinco pressed
tho issuo bv their attempts to keep every
other question than that of slavery out of
the canvass, nnd by their constant anu tiai
ly efforts to sectionulizo the entire South
on this sectional issue : and if they start the
gamo nnd are bentnn at it, what right havo
they to complain! Wo may complain,
and hold them rcspousiblo for it, m we
should : but their lips aro sealed. They
should have known thoir strength butter
before they challenged and defied their ad
versasies to the enmbat, at which they will,
in all likelihood, be badly whipped ; nnd
they will lichly deserve it, if they are.
One word as to tho restoration of the Mis
souri Compromise, let mo assure you that
the ro is no danger of its restoration. The
Democracy of the South (and they have
control of :ho South,) will not have tho ef
frontery to ask it, and if they did tho North
will not have the weakness lo grunt it.
Thev know too well what they hnvo jain
ed by its repeal. Still you must expect, if
you put so toriiinintio a weapon 111 tneir
hands on the evo of a rresiJciuial election,
that they will use it to tho best advantage,
and make all the capital out of it they can.
Thev do desiro to rebuke tho spirit that
disturbed that Compromise ; nnd so do I.
nnd hope it will bo done by the election of
Mr. tillmore, who was alo opposeu to it ;
but thev will restore that lino never.
In regarJ to tho ufl'.iirs of Kansas, 1
must say mat a state 01 imngs oxisis uiuic
hat is- disgraceful to this Administration,
nd disgraceful to us as a civilized nnd cn
iuhlened peoplo. A civil war is raging in
that Territory, that nothing can excuse this
Administration for nut arresting. I care
not forthe detraction and misrepresentation
of the public press. I have been so long
accustomed to it that 1 have ceaseu to re
card it. and tlio public mind shall not be
kept in astute of ignoranco as to what has
occasioned that civil war, so tar as lean on
lifhtnn it. And without canns to express
3 . . . . I
any opinion as to tho merits ot tne enso, i
will simply state thai it appears by the ra
nort of tho committee appointed by Con-
gross (which is so voluminous that it will
never fall into the hands ot, nor no seen Dy
the people) to tako testimony in Kansas.
tlmttho Legislature of that Territory was
elected by several thousand Missounans,
who went over with their wagons, tents,
provisions, and arms, and took possession
of the polls at tho point of tho bowie-knife
nnd mouth of tno revolver ; and that that
Legislature passed a Bet of laws a lull
copy ot winch i have in my possession
which establishes n system oi tyranny, on
pression and despotism, that 1 have not

Nebraska act and the fugitive olavo law
2. All persons are permitted, to vote, and
every vote presumed to be good, unless
challenged : but if challenged, ho shall
swear to support and sustain the same
laws. (This was intended to let in the Mis
sou ri voters without challenging.) 3. N
one is capable of holding any office in the
Territory who does not take the same tesi
oaths. 4. Io person is capaoto oi vounj
for or against a Convention to form a Con
siitution who does not also take tho same
test oaths. 5. If any person shall speak,
write, assert, or maintain that slavery does
not legally exist in the territory, ana that
the people have no right to hold Blaves, or
shall introduce into the Territory, or print,
publish, write, or circulate, or cause to be
introduced, written, printed, published, or
circulated, in the Territdry, any book, pa
per, magazine, pamphlet, or circular, con
taining any denial of the right of persons
to hold slaves in the Territory, he shall
be deemed guilty of felony, and punished
bv imprisonment at hard labor for a term
of not less than twoyears; and, finally.no
person who is conscienciously opposed to
holding slaves, or who does not admit the
right to hold slaves in the Territory, shall
be qualified to sit as a juror in the trial of
any prbsecution for any violation of the
provisions of these laws.
Upon this I have but two remarks to
make. The first is, that if the North pro
pose to exclude the South from taking their
slaves into the Territory with them, the ac
count is pretty well balanced by the South
refusing to the persons of the North to take
their opinions and freedom of thought and
speech into the Territory with them. The
next is suppose the authorities of this
State were to pass any law obnoxious to a
largo portion, or majority of the people
uca, for example, as a temperance iw,
or any other, 1 care not what and should
then declare that no man should have the
lawyer to defend nor person to try him,
who would not also first take an oath lo
support andsu'tain the very law that the
offending party had opposed. I ask, what
would you do I Would you submit or re
siktl I leave that question to be decided
by my friends Stearns it Brummel ; (ox
ttnsive whiskey manufacturers, sitting nn.
mediately before him (excessive luugh
tor and etiecrt.) For myself, as I am de
tarmiued not to go ahead of public opinion
aguil), II 1 can lieip ll, t loruear iu say
.but. under such circumstances, I would
do, but leave it to those w ho know me to
guess. But these are tho laws that, on
motion of Mr. Ocycr, of Missouri, were re.
pealed In the Senate, by a volo of forty to
thrco. They then kicked the plank of
quatlcr Sovereignly from the Ciiicinuati
lutform, after huvins first made Mr. Buch
anan snuaro himself to it. I hove one
word to say in regard lo the orooKi auair,
and It is only because l nave reiurreu to it
hefora a Northern nudicnoi, that I chooso
now. In the urcscnco of a Southern audi.
ence. to repeat my entirn and absolute con
demnntien of the attack made upon the
Senator from Massachusetts. If Mr. Brooks
m l (bought proner to resent the language
)f Mr. Suinnor bv pulling his nose, slap.
ping his face, or sending him a challenge, I
should novcr have found it necessary to ex
press nnv opinion upon tho subject, what
ever opinion I might havo entertained ; but
1 approve neither of the tnno, place, man
ner. nor circumstance, attending tho as
sault. 1 have nn doubt at all. from what I
havo heard from the friends of Mr. brooks,
that he is a high-minded and gallant man
in his general deportment, but has, in a mo.
ment of impetuosity and excitement, been
led to commit an act which his own better
juilgmomrnt will condemn as ho grows old
er and more rellcctive, and that the com.
limciits ho has received from Ins warm-
hearted, enthusiostic, but injudicious friends
in the South, and tho taunts and abuse heap-
cd upon him at the North, have served to
bewilder and misleno his judgment in mucn
that has transpired sinco. as it was well
calculated to do. But let mo say here,
once for all. that he knows little of me
who supposes that I could be induced to
make a sectional matter of a private quarrel
between any Northern and Southern gen
tlemen. Geographically or politically, I
know no difiorence botwecn Mr. Brooks and
Mr. Sumner. I have no more peliticnl
sympathy for a Southern nullifier and so
ccssionist than I have for a Northern abo
litionist. I am a oitizen of Virginia, hold.
i attachments to my native land : but
whon I get beyond tho limits of Virginia I
know no difference between tho citizens of
the different States : I am equally interest
ed in nnd equally sympathise with all ; and
of one thing be assured, that nn nullifying.
seceding Democrat, and no Democrat ot
any other description, can bo allowed to
make an issue lor mo tnai is to wiucn uie
breach between the North and tho South.
Nor will I permit the personal quarrels
of anybody to raise a sectional issue for me.
II my own brother had acted as sir, urooks
did, I (in tha discharge of ft solemn public
duty, whatever might havo been my perso
nal feelings) should have voted for his ex
pulsion, and, as I said before, I choose to
say so here, because I sum so in the rsorui
before Northern and bout hern delegates in
the National Council of the American par
ty, while opposing tho passage of a rcsolu
tion oflered by a committee demanding his
expulsion. (Loud and long continued ap
plause.) I will indulge in no speculations
as to who is to be elected, but judging from
tho past, I should think this btnto would
bo most likely to vote for the man that is
most certain to impose a cheat upon her, as
she has always repudiated her own chil
drenClay, Harrison, Taj lor, and Scott
for such men as Van Buren, Folk, Cass,
and Pierce ; and she has never failed to
be cheated yot; but ho matter who is to
bo elected, or who defeated, the path of du
ty is plain before me, and I shall pursue
it. I shall support the man that will repre
sent my principles, and that in my best
iudcrment will most advance tho general
great interests of I lie entiro couniry, and
leave the responsibility to those who chooso
to cast their votes for either of the other
candidates. One thing, however, I will
say that whilst we may be benefited, we
cannot be worsted by any change from Democracy.
. . . I.
With regard to the frequent threats oi
disunion, let mo say tho Union is iu no aan
ger of a dissolution. Thera are but two
ways of dissolving the Union : one is by
revolution and force, which the strong arm
of the General Government will always be
able to put down, and the other is by a Con
vention of the States that adopted tho
Constitution, and framed the Government
of their choice.' Newspaper editors and
cross-road politicians have no power to dis
solve it ; and there is now, and always will
be, good sound sense enough among I he con
servative elements of the country, now en.
ea"ed in their daily avocations in the work
shop, in the held, in tno lactones, anu in
every pursuit of life, not heeding nor caring
for the cry of "wolf 1 wolf!" with which
their ears have becomo familiarized, but
who will, when occasion calls for it, rise up
in their mighty strength, and trample un
der foot these noisv. mi'chievoua malcon
tents, who "make night hideous" with
their yells of disunion; and let me tell
them, that when the? attempt it for no bet
ter cause than it has yet been threatened,
. . -., .. ... ., .. nu;i::
I, torone, win "meet mem i pfi,
and on that field they will find me kneel
inir at no other altar than the altar of tbi
Union, worshipping at no other shrine than
the shrine of the Constitution, and fighting
nndef no other ftajj than the stars ad stripes
of the United Elates.
Nebraska. Too much security has
been Ml that Nebraska would becomo a
freo Slate, whatever might' be the futo of
Kansai. But that we have ever doubtod,
and recent events show that the doubt is
fully authorized. We havo felt strongly
that Nebraska should at onco be possessed
by liberty -lot ing, Christian men, and that
many missionaries of tho right stamp
should be sent (hero as well as to Kansas.
Sutno of our readers may have seen a letter
In the New York Tribune of July S3, da
ted at Nebraska City June 28, which states
lint, If Kansas fulls into tho hands of Sla
very, Xcbrakka will become an easy prey
lo iu power. Various statements are given
to confirm this opinion, some of which wo
give only in substance:
1st That the four newspapers published
in Nebraska sny not a word in favor of
freedom in Kansas, and have always op
posed tho freo Stale men there as bitterly
as Slringfellow's Squatter Sovereign, or
any of tho border presses. Tho outrage
on Sumner they pass by siluutly, or in con-
gratulalion of Brooks.
2d. Gov. Izard, and most of the other
appointees of tho President, warmly fuvvr
tho introduction of slavery.
3d. '-Slavery already exists there, and
more slaves aro on the way."
4th. Nearly all the towns are owned by
slavery men, who give employment to the
lowest class of citizens, and on election
days put tickets into their hands and send
them to tho polls, like sheep to tho ebnm
bles.
Every man who dures to express sympa
thy with Kansas is abused. Effort are
made to ruin the business of anti-slavery
men, and so great is the prejudice against
thoin, thnt many of the promineut ones
hardly consider their lives safe, and they
have no confidence in the Courts. A num
ber of other interesting facts are given,
going to show tho strength of the prnslave
ry party there, and that in any emergency
they can rally tho "border ruffiaus," as has
been done in Kansas.
We hope tho friends of liberty in Ne
braska will increase their efforts, and that
many will omigrate to thnt Territory who
will aid them in establishing freedom there
on strong and Christina foundations. Ex.
Olehv. In ense tho Presidential eleo
tion goes to the House, and tho delegation
from any particular Stato is equally divi
ded, what course will he pursued in voting!

A.tswKR. The vote of that State
would count one ayaiiut a choice, but none
or any candidate. It was so with tho
votes of two States Vermont and 4Mary
land, we believo In tho struggle botwoen
Jefferson and Burr in 1601. But for this
Jefferson would have been chosen at once.
As the Homo now stands, tho votes of Io
wa, Tennessee, and perhaps Trxas, would
be equally divided in case the pending
election wero carried thither. Illinois is to
bo decided by elections in November lo fill
vacancies. Buchan.in would receive the
votes of Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Florida, Ceorgin, Louisiona, Missouri, Mis

sufficient light to see easily. Tho light

wearing green shades is bad, unless there is
deficiency in tho prominency of the eyes
or a peculiar weakness of the sight. Read

"We Thank You for the Day." Tho
4th of July was observed at Valparaiso,
Chili, and with more honor by the Chilians
and foreigners, than by tho Americans
themselves
The American Commodoro fired 17 guns
from the flag ship "Independence," at noon
while the English frigato "President," an
the Chilian corvette "Constitution,' eaoh
fired the national salute of 31 guns at the
same time, and displayed the American
flag at their mast-heads during the day.
The French ship "Cararani," also display
ed the flags. And after tho general salute
in the harbor, the Chilian ensign was haul
ed down from the fort above the city, the
stars and stripes run up in its place, and
31 cuns fired then in honor of tbe day,
which saw inaugurated the principles of
republicanism, now extended to the remo
test State of the continent. Thit eompli.
ment hat never before been offered to any
Hat!
When the American officer called to
thank him for the salute, the Chilian Cora
mander replied "And we, sir, thank you
