Hume cli Kcourntirnriit doubtless sriar

Corn, onta, whrnt, Vo.( have to bn planted

reference to the coure of the I'retidcnt:
You recollect, my friend, that the gov

more patriotic spirit, and a more self-deny

lustily given. If the virturi of self

Joilah Qnlncy on the Rebellion.
The venerable Josinh Quincy on the
27ih of April delivered the following pa
triotic And eloquent addrrts before the
member of the Union Gub of Boston :
Mr. 1'rtsiJtnt and Qtntltmtn : Your
wish and an irresistible sense of duty
liAve placed no in thi couneclioa with
thi society.
I wa induced to becomo one of your
number at a period of life when it may
jostly be deemed preaumption to join auch
a loeiety ; but I regard the war in which
the United State aro now engaged a in
volving n crisi in the condition of the
whole human rnce, from which no human
being hn a right to shrink, or of tuccca
in it to despair.
1 he point now nt issue is rot whe'hrr
tiuman eing may be Held to slavery fi" m "" ,wo 0C'M" '
tbrongla powcrLut, wheiJ-tUi jnMjiUl rtgimeiM werorinvl into a vi
made slaves by right. Hitherto alaverv
ha bee permitted by the nation of earth
as a power that those who could get a
slave, by whatever mean, had acquired a
power with which other nation had no
authority to interfere. It is now, for the
first time in the history f man, by the
leader of thi rebellion, unnonnced as a
principle of right, and avowedly made the
corner atoas of their Confederacy.
in ttie convention in which the constitu
tion of that Confederacy was formed, A.
II. Stephens, the ice-President of thst
convention, publicly declared "that the ob-
uct of that association was to put an end
forever, to the agitating question concern
ing African alavcry," that it placed the
African in hi proper ttatu$ in civilization;
that it was not founded on the principle
that "all men were born free and equnl,"
but upon exactly the opposite idea, that
il foundations aro laid, its corner-stone
rest, upon the great truth that the Afri
can is uot the equal of the whit man;
that slavery, that subordination to the su
perior race, i the natural and normal con
dition. Thi. our new government,"
Vice PresiJcnt Stephens add, ''i iho first
in the history of the world laied npon
thi great physical, philosophical, aud mor
al truth."
Such was tho open publicly avowed
declaration of one of the great leaders of
this rebellion ; which wa received by
ahouts and acclamations within doors, and
by a vast multitude congregated without
door, who cou!d not, for want of space,
be admitted within them.
There i now no possible doubt concern
ing the object and nature of the constitu
tion of this Confederacy, that it is to es-
.tl'L . . i .
unrsn among tne whole human raco a
new form of civilization. In conformity
with its principles, the founders of it give
public notice to the cation of the earth
that the old form of civilization has been
by theio abrogated ; leaving no loophole
or pb tfnte for any cation or individual to
escape from the dilemma or from the duly
of either abanJ oning the old or resisting
the new forra of civilization. The cnUv.
ing of Africans is, on the principle of this
Loniiucrocy, no longer a mere power to
be exercised when an individual could be
bought, inherited or stolen, but is founded
on an immutable priuciplo of assumption,
mat me Alrican race have been constitu
ted by God and nature unequal to the
Caucasian ; including not the doty of the
latter to aid them in risirg in the scale of
civiiizition, but the right of reducing them
lo state of forced servitude, and of de
priving them of all social and morai rights;
of liberty, property, and even life, Laving
no property in themselves, their wive,
nor their offspring all being hoIJen at
the will and tubject to control of the Cau
casian master. To thi condition the con-
siitution of th's Confederacy reduces the
whole African race: and. while declaring
theso to bo its principle, their founders
claim the privilege of being admitted into
th societies of tho cstions of the esrth!
Principles worthy only of beinir conceived
and promulgtted by the inmates cf the in
fcrr.al region, and ft fit constitution for
a Confederacy in pan Jcmoniun I
Now as soon as the nature tf this con
atitution is truly explained aud understood
is it possible that the nations of the earth
can admit such ft Confederacy Into their
society! Can ftny notion callin-r itself
civilized, associate, wilh any sense of self.
rvspect, wun a nation avowing and prac
ticing such principles I Will not every
civilized r.stion, when tho naturs of this
Confederacy is understood, ccmo to tbo
side of tho United States, and refuso all
association with them, a, in truth, they
ro hatti humani gtntrit f For the Af
rican is as much entitled to bo protected
in the rights of humanity as any other
portion of tho human rce.
As to Great Britain, her courso Is. In
tho nature of thing, already fixJ and
immutable. Sho touil sooner or later
join tho United State, in this war, or be
disgraced throughout all future time ; for
the principle of that civilization which this
Confederacy repudiate wa by her to
her great glory and with unparalleled sno
r.fices introduced into the code ol civili
zation ; and she will prove herself recre
ant, if tuo fans to maintain it.

Tho object of tho gathering, ho said, was

Adjutant General Thomas adJrtsseoT
the soldiers a follows :
Fellow-soldiers, your commanding Gen
eral has so fully stated tho object of my
mission that it is almost unnecessary for
me to ay anything to you in referenco to
it. Still, as I came here with full author
ity from tl.e President of the United
States to announce the policy which, after
mature deliberation, has been determined
on by the wisdom of the cation, it I my
ouiy to man known eo yoa, creil fy 1 aim' 1
may, u.e leaiurc oi tins policy. It Is ft
source of extreme gratification to mo to
come before you thi day, knowing, as 1
do full well, how glorious have been your
achievements in the field of battle. No
ooldier can come before soldiers of tried
valor without having the deepest emotions
of bis soul stirred within him. These
emotion I f. el on the present occasion,,
and I beg you will listen to what I have to
say as soldiers, receiving from a soldier
the commands of the President of tbo.
United Stales.
I come from Wellington clothed witrt
the fullest power in this matter. With
this power I an set precisely as if tho
President of tho United States were him
self preset. I am directed to refer noth
ing to Washington, but lo act promotlv
i- I I . al .r.... -AT. I'
what I have to do, to do at once to
strike down the unworthy, and to elevato
the deserving.
I can o dy speak briefly, and cannot en
ter into the delsils of this subject at pres
ent. It may be tlut some of you aro bet
ter acquainted with this country thaa I
am, but all my early military lifts was
spent in the South. I know this whole)
region well. I am a Southern man, and,
if yoa will, born with Southern prejudi
ces, but 1 am free to tay that the policy I
ant now to announce to you I ciiJortet
with my whole heart, iou know fall
well, for jou have been over this country
y ou know better than I do that tho
rebels have sent into tho field all their
availablo fighting men every carablo of
bearing arms and you know tbat thry
have kepi at home sll thrir slaves for tho
raising of subsistence for their armies la
the field. Iii this way they can bring to
bear againrt us all lhe strength of tho so-
called Confederate States, whilo wo at tho
North can only send ft portion of our
fighting force, buing compelled to leave.
Uhind another portion to cultivate our
fields and supply lhe wants of an Immense
army. Tho Administration has determin
ed to take from the lobels that source of
supply, to tuko their negroes and compel
mem to st no back ft portion of their
whites to cultivate their u'essrted plsnta-
lions, and very poor persons they would
be to fill t'to place of the dark hued labor
er. They must do thi or their armies
will slam.
You know perfectly well that the rebels
haJ an opportunity afforded them under
the proclamation of the President in Sep
tember last to throw down their arms snj
come back into tho Union. They failed
to do it not but that the hearts of msny
men of Iho South were with us and against
the rebellion, but the leaders of the con
spiracy, Jeff. Davis ti Co., woulJ not per
mit it ; thcreforo they aro still in arms
agninst us.
On the 1st day of January last tho
President issued hi proclamation declar
ing that, from that day forward, all tho
laves in tho State then In robelliort
thoub) be free. You know that vast num
ber of the let are within your bor
derInside lhe lines of this army. 1 ley
come into your camp, and you cannot
but receive them you must receive them.
The authorities at Washington aro very
much pained to hear, and 1 fear with truth
in many case, Hist some ol tho unfortu
nate race have, on different oceaiiont. been
turned away from us aw! their applica
tion for admission wii'loour lines been
rtfuoed by our officer and soldiers. Tblo
is not tho way to u freed msn.
