(coNTIsUED FAiOM FIRST PAoE.) of the man, I comic now lastly to tli e considera. tion of slavery, a- essential to a Re. public. Mtr. Calhun in his suiblimre disquisition upon Government, tfidly - exposes that monstrous Ihlla'n of modern times, " all people arc en~i. tled to liberty.'' Akin to this, is the error that Republicanisrn the most elaborate and diflicult of all system', is not nly suited to all people, but that it can at once qualify ignorance and incompetence-for the duties and responsibilIti-'s of self Govertment. Moreover the Republican idea requir es that. all shouldl participate equally in a political right. To assert the contrary is to defy tall the popular maxims o'n the subject.. And, if I here is one fact emphat ic:lly illustrated, in the h'story of repub. lics, it is thaa they cannot prosper where political equality does not ex ist, in short, where some such system as African slavery is unknown. By the operation of iimin u table laws, which neither the violence of rev olution, nor the eflhrts of reforn, can effect, society everywhere, is split into the extreme divisions of wealth and leisure-poverty and dependence. The progress of civilization does not oblite rate these lines, but tends rather to in tensify and perpetuate ihem. 'ihe life of this latter is of necessit v menial, and in communities where they d not fall under t he care of a superior race, they constitute that turbulent, corrupt, pauper host which looms in such fearful d:i kness over I.uropean society. I - such a class fit. for self government? Can they exercise safely the rights, or fulfil the dut es of citi zens of a republic? Are they not the rea ly tools of the anarchist and the demagogue? Yet it is this class which modern utopianism invests with full political rights. To debar them of the ptivlleges of the citizen, is to ar ray against society, a jealous and violent mass, and to admit them is to subject government to their radical and corrupt influence. Between this hitter alternative, must every repub lie choose where the inferiority of race is not -ecognised. The institution of African slavery relieves society of this alternative. liere governnetit is entrusted to the superior division, the white race, and in the miutual depen dence of wealth and poverty, leisure and toil, the inferior upon the superior race, it rijys entire immunity from that stern natagonism which, elsewliere .engulfs it. -lere is no pauper class .armed with political power, and urged -on by terrible passions, against prop .erty and the peace of the coinmnm. -wealth. Here the citizen, whether S-rich or pour, feels himself a superior. Here the mind of the laboring poor, -our slaves, is not soured by torment ing dreams, nor the heart of the rich man tutored into cruelty and oppres sion. But contentment and Iovalty' exemplify the life of the dependent, -while in the master- is fosteredl that high and stubborn love of liberty, (if which the great English man wrote. These observations apply, in sonie degree, to all gover-nments. But it is in a repuibl ic especially, wher-e laws and or-der- depend for preserivationi upon public viratue and opinion, that slave ry is the corner stone of safety. If, gentlemen, we appeal to historyv for the vindication of th's theory, it, will be ibuand aimiple anid uuniver-sal. The Gree-ks, as they- are the models in literature and alit, so) in the phmilosophyI oif governlameant they coinmmad the deepest study. And there is niofat tire oif thiir policy miore str-ikinig than this uder considerationi.-Citizen, -ship and its cognate rights were en joyed by a very small portion of the people, as in this State it is enjoyed biy less than one-half its population. It was atnong the A thenians, confmned by the constitution of Solon, to the four prmm itive Ionic tribes, and though subse quently enlarged by Cleisthentes and Pericles, so as to a-dmit the whole body ofnative frecemen, yet thte great mass always remainied in exclusiion, as much so as our s1lves. The equiality of' Greek liberty was the equality it. her free citizens. A~s before stated, ther-e were in Aithens but 20.000 voting citi zens, to 370,000O slaves. Yet wvitha this. star-tling dis-parity of physicaal force, there existed to the endr of thec Republic, a harmony almost uinter rupted. Ia peacee, the slate was the contented husbatnani and domes tie, and in the str-ms of battitrlie shared thni perils and fortunes of his master. The subsequent ruin which s~vept over her institutions, can fromn another soturce. Ia theo- tiltus anid caprices of an unrepresentativa .demi oeracy., and betieath- the blow-s of Iron handed baibarians, the lierties andi polity of A thens sunk to the gravy Slavery arid the distinic:iti which attached to citizenship, gave to the GIreek mind'leisure and taste for that publie editeation which expanded inito such gratnd outline anmd bounty. They invested his nature with that heroie spIrit which defied and conquered thle PersIan host. They in a wvord, con.i tributed to make him thalt poetric andl free-souled thinig which has won the love of afler times. When we come down to the Roman Republies we again fimnd slavery elevating the character of the citizen, and proteeting Sovernmn nt frm the taint of Radicalism. So we see, in theo * Republios of modern italy, a full par. ticipation in the rights of citizenshi p was denied to the menial class. Bot. the relation of' n~aster and slave not, being recognized, social order aind lib. carty were overthrown by the antagon ism of snotions. The last efa'r t fur Republican government in Germany was sIgnalized by the abolition (if predilal bondageo, and it died in its very birth. But the most itriking in stances In modern limos. of the essen tiality of slavery to Republio, are France and the Northern States of this Union. France in the phrenzy for popular freedom, abolished villianage, and pra. chimed liberty and equality to all. The shouts of her fierce democracy were heard all over Europe. Pot son'cate the r. tribution. Radicalism, outrage and civil discord maddened the na tions, dhnd invited the plunderer. And afier a few paroxysms of freedoin; the first French liepublic sank pow erless and willing into the arms of. a miljtary despo(. A half century went by, and again the fallnbou rgs of' Paris, re-echo with eries of a Republ ic. The King in mean disguise flies from his pa1lace and begs protection in the dominions of his ancient fle. Propagandists shouts hosatias, bonfire illuminations, and the mouths of cannon herald to the world the glories af the New Re. public. Again is liberty and equality the watchword of millions. Citizen ship is thrown open to all, and univer sal suflr:ge is established as the pre rogative of a free people. Watch the catastrophe. The nieliliepW aspires to the throne of the uncle-lie appeals to the votes of new born freemen. They appro ach the 1.allot box for tihe first time. Surely, we exclim, this people will not sustain the usurper. The pelIs are closed-the voles count ed, and by a miajor:ty of muilliois Lou is Napoleon is vmskr ci of [Franee! Here is a i ople, cultivated, refiied and brave; yet by the levelling of political distinctions, and infusing into 'Gov eriment the iiiluenee of the menial class, with one land dashing to the dit, a mild dynasty, and with the other, erecting a li mitless mili tary depotisim. T'lurn now to this continent. En couraged b_ the example of the United Stittes, rep1blies spring up in vigorous promise, on the shores of South Ameri ca. Slavery is abolished, and citizen. ship laid open to all, settler;, natives, and half. ureeds, alike. What is the result ? Radicalism, anarehy, and ty. ranny. The same policy has convul ed Mexico, with inicessant revolution and usirpations, and prostrat]ed every efibrt for irgaiized Iiber v. And ini (enit ral America, Manual Ferrera, the halfbreed d.spot, now wields the sceptre, which he won, at tlie head of his Indian fIAlow citizens. Il all is the lesson taught tlat wherever the ele ment of'slavery does not exist, and it has been attempted to Coii fe political equality uponin all chtsses, we find a sect ion of soi ety, w here history Ihasj always placed them, in dange ous iel lowhip %t ith the deimagogue and usurper. I have. gentl tmen, in a ,rnier por lion of this address, made allusitn to the downward tendencies of Republi eanism at the North. You have now the solution, in the efective, yet lauded system of public edue:i n seconded by a licentious Press; and more than all, in the want of the balance of slave institutions. Thle prsn sciial condition of the North is ind eed a sad spectacle. WVi th all the deep w rong the south has sniff ered at, its hianids, and thle inceessanlt and cow'.ardlyv war' ;t is ungmig upon our inastitumtionis, there is enoughi in the f'utue ofthat people to make the heart of' the true mlan leed with pity.

Such the demnagogue, anmd such the inte he, entatils upont those wthao trust him, "at the last lie biteth like a serpent and stingeth like the adder." According to A ristothe he s o dmo. cracy, what the courtier is to the King, a shameless, selifh sycophant, pouring "leprous distilnent'' into the ears of vanity and lust,and betraving the mans ter whose bread he eats. Let us be. ware, gentlemen, of the demagogue at hw; ac. 1-is coining betides ruin to the Republic, and his triumph is corn pleto when liberty, and honor have descended to the tomb. Against all such it is the duty of the patriot to raise his con-taut voice. To go, like aged Solon, when the usurper Pcisistra tus destroyed the liberties of Athens into the' streets na'id market place, ex 'horting the people to resistance, and when this failed, he put on his arinor, and stood befb-re the door of his house and nobly exclaimed, "I have done my duty, I have. sustaine I to the best of my power, mly coimtry and the laws: Ye have yourselves put force and do minion into the hands of these men, and have 'hius drawin wretched slavery upon yourselves." Such is the position of the North coinscundnt upon the conditionai into which the absence of an inferior race has brought them. The people cot rupt the politicians, and are in turn corrupted by them, until society be comes radical, and government. verges towards anarchv. Turm, then, to the South. See what a grand part her i nial class performs in social and political development. True, their voices are nrot Leard in drunken shouts in our public meetings and the galleries of our Legislatures, cheering on the demagogue. They cannot exercise the so called freemen's birth-right, and vote down law, proper ty and '(sod, and vote up anarchy, rob bery and the devil. They cannot read and write, and thus become no wiser, if no worse. They- are not th- blind instruments. of the radical subverter. They do not lower over society, like mountain wolves, ready for blood and destruction. No, gentlemen, the slave of the South had higher privile ge's and duties than these. Guided and protected by a superior race, his great product whitens every quay. and shelters fra on sun and snow the remo teit nations of men. An(] while thus tilling the sphere in which God anc reasu have placed thea, he engrafts ipot the superior raee, that I igh spitit of conservat ilm, which as libtore stated, is so esscntia' to the citizens of a liapublic. This is the di-tinguishaing attribaute of the Snth. li the io ga: age of Burke, " we are not-the coiverts of I :'u ssean; we are not the dis iples of Voltaire; I Ielvet ius has nimde no progress among us.

If we have this, we are armed foir every contest. Wealth and boners may not pour in upon us, and defeat may blight our beat efforts, but we will live and die worthily, as becomes men.
