SPEECH
HON. HENRI WILSON.
History of South Carolina KcviowiMl.
WILSON vs. CALHOUN.
According tu arrangement, Senator IIEXKV WIL?
SON, of ManaacbtwciUi, addressed a large audience
of white and colored citizens on the Citadel
Green yesterday.
Mr. WILSON saki :
Mr. Chairman aud fellow citiz us ol Charleston-1
have not voice to-day hi bo heard by this vast thron? <.|
my fellow citizens. Puring the past two weeks, I have
spoken to vast assemblages of men in Virgbiia and
Nurth Carolina, and my voice. 1 hud, has not ita usual
compass and power. Therefore, I ask your silence, a* tar
a? I can have it.
As I gaze upon this vast Urning aron ml an.l about
nie, I feel grateful to Almighty Und for ibis day. I am
glad to stand before the pennie of Charli-slim. to look
into their faces, and speak mv sentiments irani; ly and
freely, as I um? mi. II,I to An.
When the auicwlatory act was pending in the United
States Senate. 1 took occasion, in debate, to say that I be.
lii'ved, if it should become a law. tho Reconstruction
would be accepted hy tin- stairs lately iu r hellion. I
look occasion also tn say that I believed that thew) Slates
lately tn rebellion would send a majority of their Sens*
tors and Representatives to the congress o? thu United
Slates, who would feet, thiuk, speak, vote, as the majori?
ty of Congress fell, thought, spoke autl voted. I said
casually, that 1 was willing, for uue, to visit these Stat- s,
ami to speak to thc people iu vindication of Hie action ol'
thc Congress of the United Slates. Thai remark has
brought to me from all paris ol the Southern country in?
vitations to apeak, which, if accepted, would occupy tho
?pring, and a good part of thc summer. I am herc i.i
compliance with invitation- t.) express tu you the semi
meats andopinions I entertain on public altair*, lam
here by my own volition. I am the agent of no mau and
uo body of men Oil earth; and no mau or set of men are
responsible tor anything 1 say. I am here lo see for my?
self; hear fur myself, and, il 1 sjieak tit all, in sjioak for
myself.
ll you. open your Cibles, you will lhere read that Cod
made man in his own image; that he mad..' of one blood
all the nations. That same sacred volume lolls us that
he bids every man love him ami love bis neighbor as
himself: that lu- bids overy man do unto others as be
wuuld others sh' ubi do unto lii.n. That command is of
perpetual obligatio?. It follows us through life : we shall
meet it at tho bar of God.
When our Government waa launched upon tho Ilde,
our fathers accepted those declarations of holy writ: pro?
claimed as thc faith of the new republic licit all men are
created equal, and ba. c au inalienable right lo liberty.
Thc tramera ol the Constitution ol' the United Slates de?
clared that that instrument was established to secure the
blessings Of liberty. God's holy word, lite charter of in
dopcudencc. HIP Constitutione!' the 'Jutted Stales, all
recognize the equality ol' u 1 humanity before the
laws. I Ch? .ors.) that is Uiefaith of this great
Christian, Democratic Republic : an.l when she pro?
claimed that as ber living laith, the friends of liberty in
the old world und thc people in whose hearls lingered
tile accents of liberty, turned their reverential gaze to
ward>= the rising republic of the Western world ; and
Mexico and the Central ami South American Republics,
as they rose from colonial dependence lo national itldc
peude 'CO, looked lo (be great North American Ucpubhc
for example und i-tildancc.
Tlie Republic of Hie United States has done much for
humauity, but the great achievement ot Hil* Republic,
was thu declaration of the sublime creed ol humanity, of
the lath rko.nl o: God, awl ot tlie brotherhood ol man.
(Applause.) This Republic.which began in the language O?
John Quincy Adams. iLs existence ny the promulgation ol
the emancipation of man from the thraldom ot man, has
been rent and dissevered by an irrepressible conflict, h. -
tween freedom on the one side ami slavery on I lu
other.
This contest commenced in the Congress thal pro
claimed the equality ol mau as tho living tail h of the
North American Republic, lt continued from I77i? to
tlie opening of this rebellion, and it wus during linn pe?
riod a contest ol' sentiment and opinion. When Hw re?
bellion opoued, when tin- nation plunged into Hie tire
ami blood of civil war, this contest was adjoin*1 wi Inen
the arena nf opinion to tin? lie-Id ol'arms. After four
bloody years liberty triumphed, ami slavery bas died to
rWuo more forever. (Loud cheers.) Uiinng tho psst
two years; since the surrender of l.v-'s army: -ince the
old flag went up again over sumter; we have bail another
i-onllict ol' opinion, and il requires no for- sight hi sc.- to?
day that freedom cunno: I.mqiiercd. ami thal the
creed ot equal rights. equal privileges, ?md .-qnal iiiimii
unies for all men in America, is hereafter to 1M- the prtc
tleal policy of the Republic ut the United States. [Loud
cheers.. .
In the conflletK through which we havo passed. South
Carolina has borne u leading am) distill! iii-hcd part. She
has given to the. Councils ol the Republic men o ei Hi?
neilt talent ami character, who have been tin- leader* ol'
her sentiment aud her opinion. South Carolina has
burne the Hag ofslaveiy prondly, defiantly, she ha?
borne the very ark of thc covenant of slavery ; amish"
has been ita champiou in North America from ITTti to
Ulis hour. Sho entered the Congress in 1771?, and
through her representatives comp-llcn Ihm Congress to

sela, and other foreign vessels, should take no part Ul Ute
slave trade, by the hps of one ol hr-r Representatives
sbe ma le the throat, tlie tirst threat, of a dissolution ol'
''ie Union. When in 1K31-5. a portion of our country
men, believing slaver}' to be a emit . ugainst mau and a
siu ?gainst Cod. believing that w . had the con (?UH.al
(lower to abolish slavery in the District ul Columbia, and
end thc slave trade between the States, acut their hum?
ble pctitinus to Congress, it was a Representative from
South Carolmu, Mr. Piuckney, who introduced a r?solu
tioii to lay those petitions upon the table; ami for sev n
years tho right of petition was denied in the House of
Representatives. When Jno Quincy Adam-.Ihegrcutadvo?
cate uf tree speech and champion of the riubt of petition,
vindicated those rights on the doon f Congress, it was Mr.
Waddy Thompson, of South Carolina, who threatened to
bring bim before a Grand Jury, and lo punish him : mid
it was Mr. Hammond, afterwards Governor of Ibis state
and United States Senator, who denounced these peti?
tioners us ignorant, fanatical barbarians, and declared that
they would bo punished if they could be caught within
Hie* limits of South Carolina, At that time, under Hu?
lead of Mr. Calhoun, the Senate ot tim United States
passed what was culled the Incendiary Publication Hill.
In all those movemeuls it was u distiugnlsbi-U Senator of
s i ul li Carolina who bore the flag lind lett the champions
of the perpetuity and dominion of slavery in
ttio lu-public : aud in 1*14. when the Common?
wealth of Massachusetts aunt an 'eminent law?
yer to defend ber colored sailors arrest.si in your
port, he wus cumpellc I to leave the Mate, aud d Hied the
right to dele mt their cause in tin- Courts of Soul li i 'aro
lina. In thut same year, when slavery looked With
hungry eye upon the territory of Texas, ii was Mr. Cal?
houn, theil Secretary of Stab . who laid Hie case before
tho throne ol' Li Uis Philip's.', and asserted thal Texas
must be annexed for thc purpose ol' strengthening the
institution ot slavery in Utellmti.il Stales. A tu) wilvil
tho tinnies of the Republic returned trom Mexico,
bringing with them the title deeds lo naif a million
square miles of (rec terrill.ry. il was John C. Calhoun,
ono of tho foremost minds of Hie Western world, who
laid down the doctriue that thu Constitution ol the Uuitiil
states, by its own loree, carried slavery luto Ibu newly
acquired territories.
In 1H??, whoD tho country waa rocked wiih d:HCuaslous
growing out ot the repeal ul the Missouri Compromise,
Mv Butler, tb? head ot the Judiciary Committee, a liold.
impulsive, able man. declared that ii Premonl should bu

Union at thc tap of tho drum." lu KOW, when thu Lo* j
couip-.on Constitution, thut product ol Iraud and vio?
lence, waa pending in the Se?ale, und Stephen A. Doug?
las was leaning the opposition to it, it was your M r. Ham?
mond, au eminent, uiilu und accomplished mau, who
came into the Seiiaie, and laid down the broad, plain,
comprehensive doctrine, that the men who worked fur
wages, tli laboring men of tie- country, were essentially
slaves, lu lrti'ii). Hie liery and impetuous sous of South
Carolina, Keitt, Boyce und Bonham, on the door ol Con?
gress, declared in mvur ot the dissolution ot the Union,
if tlie Republican party should electa Presiden! ol the
United Slates. Mr. Keitt uttered thc win-cry Iben, thut
if a Black Republican should bu ele.-led they would
"shiver the Union from turret to foundntion-etonc.*' Ami

aud made Abraham lin.-obi president ol lin- United
States, South Carolina lcd the country into rebellion and
civil war. Prom 17"l? to the bringing down ol lite old
