(CoNTINUED FIOMl FIRST PAGE.) of the man, I come now lastly to th e considera. tion of slavery, na essential to a Re. public. Mr. Calhouin inl his sublime disquisition tup)n Governti(nt, fully exposes that monstrous fblae-v of modern times, " all people are 'nit i. tied to liberty." Akin to this, is the error that Replblicanisim the most elaborate and difficult of all systenm, is not 4 lly suited to all people, but that it can at once qualify ignorance and incompetence.fir the duties and responsibiliti"s of self' Govertmentb Moreover the Republican idea requir 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 there is one fact emphatically illustrated, in the h'story of repub. lices, it is that they canot prosper where political equality does not ex ist,in short, where some such system as African slaverv is unknown. By the operation of immutable laws, which neither the violence of rev olttion, nor the eflirts of reform, can oflect, 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 them. The life of this latter is of necesit v menial, .1ucl in cotmtnities where they do not fill ,under the care of a superior race, they constitute that turbulent, corrupt, pauper host which 1'oms in such fearful dai kness over European society. 1: 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 rca y 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 pricileges of the citizen, is to ar tay against society, a jealous and violent mass, and to admit them is to subject government to their radical arid corrupt influence. Between this bitter alternative, must every repub lic choose where the inferiority of race is not recogniscd. The institution of African slavery relieves society of this alternative. flere government is entrusted to the superior division, the white race, and in the mutual depen dence of wealth and poverty, leisure - and toil, tihe aifiri"r epmn the superior race, it enjoys entire immiunity 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 common -wealth. Here 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 man 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 stubbor-n love of liberty, of which the great Englishman wrote. These observations apply, in s'nee degree, to all gover-nnmeints. But it is in a republic especially, wvherec laws and order depend for pi eser-vationt upon public iritue and opinion, thant slave ry is tihe corner stoiie of safety-. If, genltlemen, we appeal to history for the vindication ofl th's thieory, it wvil bIe fbund aiimple and uiOversal. The Greeks, as they are the mohidels in literature and at t, so) in t he pilolsoph Iy of gover-niment they coinmatnd t he deepes;. study. And there is nofa uire of their policy more strikinig thani this under consideration.---Citizen -ship and its cognate rights were cn joyed 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 thetiian-i, confined by the constitution of Solon, to the four prim itive Ionic tribes, anid though subse quently enlarged biy Cleisthienes and Pericles, so as to admnit thle whole body of.native freemenl, yet tihe greait mass always remainied in exclusion, as much so as our slaves. The equtality of Greek liber-ty was the equality of her free citizens. hA before stated, there were in Afthens but 20,000 voting citi zens, to 370,000 slaves. Yet with this strln dipirity of p.hysical force; there existed to the endi of the Republic, a hatrmonly abtioist uniniter rupted. Ia peace, the slav-e was the contented husbandmarn and domes. tie, and in the st-rms of batthb'lie shared thu perils and fortunes of his master. The subsequent ruin which s wept over her instituitionts, caime from another source. In the- tuinuis atnd caprices of an uurepresentativo .demi ocraey., and beneath- the blows (of Iron handed bar-bariains, thlib ierties and' polity of Athi-ns stunk to the grava. Slavery artd I ha distinct ion which attached to citizenship, gave to the Greek mind'leisure and taste fort that publio education whliebl expanded inito -sueh granld outline and beauty. They invested his nature with that herOie spirIt whlich defied and conquered the PersIan host. Thley in a wvord, con tributed to make him that poetic andi free-souledl thing which, has won tihe love of aloer times. When we cao down to the R'oman Rtepublies we again find slavery elevating the chat-acter of the citizen,. andi prioeting gover-nm tt from the * ~ taint of Radioalism. So we see, ill the Republics of modern Italy, a full par ticipation in the rights of' citizenship was denied to the menial class. But, the relation oif n-.lmster and slave not being reeognlized, social order and lib. erty were ovort'hrown by the antagon sam of snetions. The last efllert for Republican government in Germany was, signalized by the abolition of jiredlal bonndageo, anld it died in its very birth. Bi,. the most sti-iking in. stances In modern timeis, of the essen tiality of slavery to Reipublic, are France and the Northern States of this Utilon. France in the phrenzy for popular freedom, abolished villianage, and pro' elimed li berty and equality to all. The shouts of her fierce democracy were heard all over Europe. But soon-came the r tribution. Ia.licalism, outrage aid civil discord maddened the na tions, und invited the plunderer. And after at few paroxysms of freedon, the first French I eptublic sank pow erless and willing into the arms of. a military despota. A half century went by, and again the fanibohurgs of Paris, re-echo with cries of a Republic. The ting inl mean disguise flies from his palace and begs protection in the dominions (if his ancient foe. Propagandists shouts hos:niias, bonfire illuminatious, and the mouths of cannon herald to the world the glories af the New Re public. Again is liberty atnd equality the watchword of millions. Citizen ship is thrown open to all, and univer sal suflraige is esfablished as the pre rogative of a free people. Watch the catastrophe. The nephew aspires to the throne of the uncle-lhe appeais to the votes of new born freemen. They approach the ballot box for the first time. Surely, we exclaim, this people will not sustain the usurper. The polls are closed-the votes count ed, and by a miajority of millions Lon is Napoleon is masker of France! Here is a people, cultivated, refined and brave; yet by the levelling of political distinctions, and infusing into 'Gov erument the influence of the menial cl-ss, with one hand dashing to the duat, a mild dynasty, and with the other, erecting a limitless mili tary despotism. 'T'urn now to this continent. En couraged by the example of the United St'ates, replihlies 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. Vhat is the result ? Radicalism, anarchy, and ty. ranny. The same policy has convuls ed Mexico, with incessant revolution and usurliations, and prostrated every efihrt for org:aized liber y. And in (.Cent ral America, Manual Ferrera, the half breed d -spot, no.v wields the sceptre, wlieht lie won, at the Ihead of his Indian fellow citizens. In all is the lesson taught that wherever the ele inenat of-l:avery does not exist, and it has been attemnpted to confer political eq uality ulion all classes, we find a sec!ion of society, where history has always placed them, in dange ous 1el lowthip with the demnagog"uie and usup i e r. I itave, geati men, in a formner por tion of this address, made allusion to the downwvard tendencies of Republi canisa at the NorthI. You have now the sobution, in the efectiye, yet lauded system of public educati n seconded by a licentious Press; and more than all, in the want of the balance of slave institutions. lThe prnesenlt soceial conadition of the North is in leed a sad spectacle.

Such the demagognet, aind such the fate~ he, entails upon those who trust himn, "tat the last hie biteth like a serpent and stingeth like the adder." Acror-ding to Ariettin he: is tod.. cracy, what the courtier is to the King, a shameless, selfidh sycophant, pouring "leprous distilinent" into the ears of vanity and lust, and betraying the naq ter whose bread he ents. Let us be. ware, gentlemen, if the demagogue at ho mc. Iis comning ictides ruin to the Republic, and his triumph is corn plete when liberty, and honor have descended to the tornb. Against all such it is the duty of the patriot to raise his constant 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, he put on his armor, and stood before the door of his house and nobly exelai:ned, "I have done my duty, I have . sustaine I to the best of my power, my country and the laws: Ye have yourselves put force and do. minion into the hands of these men, and ha'e thus drawn wretched slavery 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 cot, rupt 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 n. nial class performs in social and political developrent.-. 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 vote down law, proper ty and god, and vcte up anarchy, rob bery and the devil. They 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, gentleien, the slave of the South had higher privile ges and duties than these. Guided and protected by a superior race, his great product whitens every quay. and shelters from sun and snow the remo. test nations of men. And while thus filling the sphere in which God and reason have lIac'ed them, he engrafts iipon the superior rave, that high spitit of conservatism, which as hefre stated, is so esscutial to the citizens of a lepublic. This is the di~stinguishng attribute of the Sm uth. In the la gui-agke of lBurke, we are not the cin veits of lnusseau; we are not the dis::iples of Voltaire; II elvet ius las nide no progi ess among us. A theists are not our preachers mladirma are not our law.givers. We know that we have made no discove ries ; and we think no discoveries are to be made i morality, noir rmanv in the great principles of liberty, which were understotid long before we were born, altogether as well as they will be after the grave has heaped its mould upon our pi:esumption, and the silent tombl ahM tle iriposed its law On our pert loquacity." But, gentlemen, there is another coniserratismn, of' which it befits mec to spleak. If the past is to be sacred agaiinst reckless inniivaltiolt. mutch more arc thle rights it has gi veii us, to be wratce-e anid defended.
