To achieve j tliat purpose, vou endeavor to arrest the wheels ot government atnJ to revolution ize it, to nullify all laws and subvert all 1 authority in Kansas, and to subject its people to all the lioriois of anarchy and fratricidal war. (Jlent indeed would be the humiliation and degradation of subimasion to your demand, bv surrendering to \ou the exclusive eecupancv tii atl the Territories of the United Slates, lint that would not purchase our peace or sat isfy your demands. And if the >outh decide to ) ied this demand, in ilie va;n hope of at, inglorious peaee, let her check her pride mil make up her mind with becoming meekness nnd humility 10 li\e, while she is lei live, in a state of subju gallon, subordination and subserviency to tho North, impetraling mercy of her masters, instead of exacting justice of Iter equals. 1 do not doubt thr.t you thick she will yield all your demand I do tml doubt vou believe you can extort from her fears of your power all that yon cannot seduce from her love of the Union. I believe you expect to excite discord among her own ions, and to array against the slaveladders all wlio are nut slaveholders, hv persuading thetn that they aie opposed and wronged. But the example of Kanam, where there c-nnot have been more than two hundred slavehn ders out of ?ixthoiisand pro slavery voters, should have taught you thai the Ron* of the South know and feel that they have a common interest in preserving the institution of slavery?that they must keep the negro in his normal condition of slavery or de stroy him, or surrender to him their country. I do not fear that you chii delude or beguile them to their own self destruction, or the desolation of their country.? 1 know you count largely upon the defections and desertions of Southern leaders, and I confess, with shame and regret,that you have hut too good reason lor \our calculations in the mortifying examples we have furnished of those who have he trayed their trust and broken their all?gianee to the South, not, perhaps, be-ause they loved her less, but the Union m ire, and themselves most. 1 know it is idle to try to disenchant your minds of no pressions which you are loud to reiam and wish to lie true, hut which 1 think dishonor the South, wrong the North and may dissolve the Union. Yet, at the liazard of your rilicnl", | mu-t tell \ou that Alabama, in common with all iiei Souehern sisters hot two, has, by liie nniver-al voi.eof tier people, us expressed by party conventions, by popular assein blies, and by her late and former legislatures, resolved? 'that she will and ought to resist, even (as a last resori) to a dmtiupt-on of every lie, which bonis iter :o ti>- Union, any action of Congress upon ihe -oil.j-cl of slavery in the lJiMriel of Uomnibia, or in places subject to the juri??Iictioti of Congress, incompatible with the sa ely, the domestic tranquility, the rights and honor of tin; slaveholding Slates ; or any refusal to admit as a Sta'e any Territory hereafter applying, because of the existence of slavery therein ; or aiij' act prohibiting the introduction of slavery into the Territories * * * * * ; or any act repealing or materially modifying the law now in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves/' If this he mere bravado, die shares the folly ami the shame in common with twelve of her Southern sisters. While I have indulged, shall indulge, in no menace, promise or prophecy of her course yet I can, am] will sav, (or in\self, that in the day of her self degradation, by ilis .regarding her pledges and submitting to your government, [ will not sit here to endure the continue!v and reproicli which you jnstlv inav, and certainly will, heap up# i the heads of ner Senators. Mr. President, I have not been addicted to singing pte ins or uttering eulogies upon the'Union, or accustomed to le/urding it as ,4lhe paramount political good/' or "the primary object of patriotic desire." I have ever felt that I owed my lirst and highest allegiance to my State, ayd that her sovereignty, her independence, and her honor, even without the Union, should be dearer to her sons, than the Union and her subordination, dependence, and dis honor within it. Yet, sir, the Union of ttie constitution, which our fathers made. I love and reverence and would preserve; but this Union without the constitution, or with it as constreued by Northern Republicans, I abhor and scorn, and would dissolve, if my power were equal to my will. To this Union, the South i? commended at a choice of evils, and coininan- j ded with meiiam of compulsion. Whether she will chnoae the Union n* a l?*Mer evil or suVmit to it hy compulsion ami Abandon her self government and eurreiider her deeiinie* lo your control, or you will awe'y tent, if you get the power, and tiiuo will Kiirely prove.

Mr. Clay '"'i"1 has never been considered nn altruist or lireenter ;?on the contrary, his political course ! has been Hiiforinly marked by good sense, ^ I discreetness and moderation, and when .one, 'ri'sl' ] therefore, with these characteristics, sounds ' x i the notes of alurtn, the South would do ' i well to lake heed. With his views,which are P'anl 1 logically deduced and well sustained by facts, it would be difficult to believe other- I''"0* w ise than thai the dissolution of the Union P| | is inevitable, depending solely upon time, | unless the South yields to the aggressive de- an ? , mands ??f the North and consents to occupy on | the position of inferiority, which her ene- v'%lC | mics are striving to force upon her.
