(CONTIUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) of the man. I came now lastly to th e considera tion of slavery, a. essential to a Re. public. Mr. Calhoun in his sublime disquisition upon Government, fully exposes that monstrous fatllaey of modern times, " all people are enti. tied to liberty." Akin to this, is the error that Republicanism the most elaborate and diflicult of all system', is not < ly suited to all people, but that it can at once qualify ignorance and incom petence-or the duties and responsibilties of self Govertment. Moreover the Republican idea reqnir es that all should participate equally in a political right. To assert the contrary is to defy all the popular maxims on the subject. And, if tI"re is one fact cmphatically illustrated, in the history of repub lics, it is thats they cannot prosper where political equality dies not cx ist,in short, where some such system as African slaverv is unknown. By the operation of immutable laws, which neither the violence of rev olution, nor the efiirts of reform, 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 I ines, but tends ratther to in tensify and perpetuate thern. The life of this latter is of necessity menial, and in communities where they do not fadl under the care of a superior race, they constitute that turbulent, corrupt, pauper host which loons in such fearful dam kness over European 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 rcaiy 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 pt iiileges 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 ard corrupt influence. Between this bitter alternative, must every repub lic choose where the inferiority of race is not tecogniscd. The institution of African slavery relieves society of this alternative. Ilere government is entrusted to the superior division, the white race, and in the mutual depen dence of wealth and poverty, leisure and toil, the inferior upon the superior race, it eijoy's entire inmmnity from that stern natagonism which. elsewhere engulfs it. Here is no pauper class .armed with political power, and urged .on by terrible passions, against prop. .erty and the peace of the commnon -wealth. -ere the citizen, whether -rich or poor, 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 mhan tutored into cruelty and oppres sion. But contentment and loyalty -exemplify the life of the dependent, while in the master is fostered that high and stubborn loive of liberty, of which tihe grat Enhglishman wrote. These observations apply, in some degr-ee, to all governments. But it is in a republic especial ly, .were laws and order depend for presierva:tionl upon public virtue aind opinion, thait slave ry is the coraner stonec of .saf'ety. If, gentlemen, we appeal to history for the vindicatioan oft' s theory, it. will he found ample andl uiiversal. The Greeks, as they are the models in literature and aalt, so in the phi losophly of gover'nment they comani:a~ad the .decpest study. And there is no feat -nlre of their policy more strikinag than this under considearation .-Cit izen -ship and its cognate righats were en jo~yed by a very small portion of the people, as in this State it is enjoyed by less than one-half its population. It was among the A thenians, confined by the constitutioni of Solon, to the fiaur pa'am itive Ionic tribes, and though subse quently enlarged by Cleisthieunes anid Perieles, so as to admait, thle whole body of, native freemen, yet the gr-eat mass always remaianed in exclusion, a-; much so as ourii slaves. The equaality of' Greek liberty was the equality of' her free citizens. A., before stated, there were in A&thens but 20,000 v.oting citi sens, to 370,00)0 slaves. Yet with this, startling dis-pua'it~y of physical force, thero existed to the end of' the Republ ie, a haarmoany almost unin ter ruipted. Iia peace, tile slave was the contented husbaandman and domes tie, aand in the storms of battl' lie shared thei perils and fortunes of his master. The subsequent ruin which s aept over her institutions, camoe froam another source. I a the tu a.u ls and caprices of an unrepr'esentativa .dom oei'aoy, and beaneath- the blows of l'ron handed barbarianus, the Iibter'ties and? polity of A thins sunk to the grave. Slavery arnd lie distinction which attached to citizenship, gave to the Greek mind leisure and taste for that public eduacation which expanded into -such grand outline and bea~ut y. They invested his nature with that heroie spIrit which defied and conquered the PersIan host, They in a vor'd, cona tributed to make him that pioutie and free-soialed thing which has w~on the love of afler times, When we come dow'~n to the Romian Republios we againi finad slaver'y elevatiing the character of the citizen, and protecting Gover-nm nt from the taint of Radicalism. So we see, in the Republics of modern Italy, a full par ticipation in the rights of citizenshi p was denied to the inenial class. But, the relation of' n~aster and slave not * being recognized, socIal order and lib erty wero overt'hrown by the antagoan * m~ of'snations. The last eflart for Republican government in Germaniy was sIgnalized by thue abolition (If paredial hondage, and it died in its very birth. But the most str'iking in stances In modern fiimes, of'the esseni tianit of .la-... to R-epuiar France and the Northern States of this Uiiion. France in the phrenzy for popular freedom, abolished villianage, and pra. elaimed liberty and equality to all. 'he shouts of her fierce democracy were heard all over Europe. lBut soon'came the r."tribution. Ha.licalism, outrage and civil discord maddened the na Lions, dnd invited the plunderer. And after a few paroxysms of frecdotn the first French 1 Iepublic sank pow. erless and willing into the arms of. a miljtary despot. A half' century went by, and again the falbourgs of Paris, re-echo with cries Of a Republic. The King in mean disguise flies from his palace and tegs lroteeLli in the dominions of his ancient foe. Propagandists shouts hoisaniinas, bonfire illuninations, and the momths of ennnon herald to the world the glories af the New Re public. Again is liberty and equality the watchword of milliois. Citizen ship is thrown open to all, and univer sal suffrage is est'ablished as the pre rogative of a free people. Watch the catastrophe. The nephew aspires to the throne of the uncle-he appeals to the votes of new lorl freemen. They approach the I allot box for the first time. Suirely, wo exelaim, this people will not sustain the usurper. The polls are closed-the votes countL ed, and by a majority of millions Lou is Napoleon is vwas/cr of Frane! Here is a iople, cultivated, refined and brave; yet by the levelling of political distinction., and infusing into Gov ciiment the influence of the Innial class, with olie hand dashing to the dust, a mild dynasty, and with the other, erecting a limitless mili tary despotism. 'turn now to this continent. Eln couraged by the example of the United St'ates, repblies 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- breeds, alike. What is the result ? Radicalism, anarchy, and ty. ranny. The same policy has convuls ed Mexico, with incessalt revolution and usurpiations, and prostrated every efl'rt for orgaiized liber v. And in Central America, Manual ]"errera, the half breed d ,spot, noiw wields the sceptre, which he won, at the head of his hidian f'-llow citizens. Ii all is the lesson taught that wherever the (le mncot ofh-lavery does iot exist, and it has been attempted to confer political elualitv upon all classes, we fint] a secion of society, where history has always placed them, in dange ous fel low'ip %lith the demagoigiie and usurper. I have. gentle ien, in a former por. tion of this address, made allusion to the downwar d tendencies of fepubli eanismn at the No~rthi.

Let us be ware; gentlemen, of the dermagogue at home. 1is comning betides ruin to the Republic, and his triumph is corn plete when liberty, and honor have descended to the tomb. Against all such it is the duty of the patriot to raise his Con-tant voice. To go, like aged Solon, when the usurper Peisistra. tus destroyed the liberties of Athens into the streets and market place, ex 'horting the people to resistance, and when this failed, lie put on his armor, and stood before the door of his house and nobly exclaimed, "I have done my duty, I have. sustaine d to the best of may power, my country and the laws: Ye havo yourselves put force and do minion into the hands of these rmen, and ha've thus drawn wretched slhl-ery upon yourselves." Such is the position of the North consequent upon the condition into which the absence of an inferior race has brought them. The people cote rut the politicians, and are in turn corrupted by them, until society be comes radical, and government verges towards anarchy. Turn, then, to the South. See what a grand part her i nial class performs in social and political developtent. True, their voices are not beard 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 voto down law, proper. ty and 1iod, and vote up anarchy, rob bery and the devil. 'T'hey cannot read and write, and thus become no wiser, if no worse. They' are not the 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 pririre gcs and dirties than these. Guided and protected by a superior race, his great product whitens every quay. and shelters fron son and snow the reno. test nati'ns of men. And while thus lilling the sphere in which God and reason have plaed them, he engrafts upon - the superior race, that high spitit, of conservatisn, which as before st at ed, is so essenitial to the citizens of a RIepublic. This is the distinguishiiig attribute of the Soiut h. li li e language of Iurke, " we are not the con(verts of I nusseau; we are not the dis:iples of Voltaire; I Ielvet ius hots made no progress among us.
