CONCLUSION OF THE SPEECH OF
HON. EDWARD WADE.
OF OHIO.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
May 17, 1854.
But, seriously. I would say to gentlemen from
, - c - .
the free States, tuat thoso who i make compromises
with others, to enable those others to enslave their
lenow-men anywhere, or ior any purposo but Hi

them ? Iscariot did not bargain for the crucifixion
but nicroly to tho extent of showing the chief
priests whoro their victim might bo fount' ; still,
tho vordict of mankind has condemned tho traitor
m tho guiltier of the parties to that world-abhorred
compact of tho thirty pieces of silver."
Sir, when tho people of the free States tell the
black man's freedom to the hbivcholder, it is not
strango that tho latter insist on guaranty of title;
and when this guaranteo is most easily effected by
a broach of the contract of guaranty, tliis infraction
becomes the na'ural and characteristic remedy ;
and herein gentlemen of the free Sta'e3 hnve" a
practical illustration of the proverb "what is got
gver the Devil's back j.ies under bis belly."
ilns yue ana dicker -on , tno part ot northern
men with tt.o black mans inal.enahle rights,
nearot km, in nn immkic way. to that renowned !
compact, impudently proitered oy the arch op
pressor of mankind to tho Oreat Kmaneipator, by
which "all tho kingdoms of the earth, nnd the
glory thereof," were to be transferred to their
rightful owner in exchange for the adoration which
the prince of cheats and kn.ies owed but impiously
withheld.
Sir, will northern statesmen never loam, even by
experience, that slavery is an incurable ulcer on
the body-politic, weiring out the very bfo of free
dom 1 th it it is aceaseloss aggression upon justice,
nnd from its very imlurc, eieni.illy opposed to
law and order? that it and free loin never, never
can bo so fraternize! as to dwell together in unity y

this mere surface truth in the fa'-o. and cease these
vain attempts at tinkering up alliances r.r.d com.'
pacts botweou interests in their deepest nature etc:'- j
and irreconcilalily hos.ile ? Why talk ufcuiu-1

being in broach of faith ; that iis fell and h.uei'ul
spirit, tho very soul of it, is aggression, violence. I
nnd the gratification i f its owr. unbridled wiil? j
Hence, the seizure of Texas, the dismemberment
Mexico, tho' eager coveting of Cuba, and now,
lastly, this attempt to thrust its exe.-rablu tell ,
upon Kansas and nobraskn. Sir, the spirit of nla -
very is tho deadly enemy of human rights, tlio
enemy of tho human race. Compiuinises with it
are as impious as they are foolish nod vain.
ihn spread ot this spirit, like the march 01 the;'

pestilenco "that walketh in darkness," is the terror
ot mankind. 1 no spirit ol liljerty and tno spirit
ot slavery cannot co-exist in uarnuny. Aiicmpis
to unite angels of light with "goblins damned"
'would be no more audaciously impious. Sew usj'hat
many pillions under tho armholcs of oppression ,
and injustice, daub them with the untempered
mortar of "compacts nnd compromises," as mud:

Almighty has put asunder, ought, and must, nnd
srill. lull to pieces as a miserable botch of t.scudo
statesmanship, lit only for the scorn and doriaiou of
mankind.
Why. sir, is there a man on this floor so unre
flecting as not to feel assured that in our political
. ... ... i r. i i.. r
machinery of slavery and freedom, tho friction
its working, ns each increases in strength nnd
of surface, will increaso nlso in severity,
and becomo moro and still more merciless, until
tho harder nnd stronger will havo ground the
weaker to powder? " Compacts and adjustments"
have been "weighed iu tho balance nnd found
wanting," nnd tho issue between liberty nnd sla
tery, so long "staved off" by self-glorifying states
men, aspiring politicians, nnd " lower law" divines,
must now be joinedj thanks to tho restless little
and would-be great men, who commenced clubbing
tho applo of the Presidency so long before it was j
ripe, and wniio tiicmscivcs, niso, wcro cquany
grcon. 1
ThO political crimes and follies of every fctrug -
gle Tor the ''residency, tho distriuutiou ot the
snoils when that struggle is over to incompetent
and worthless political fortune hunters, ns a reward j
for the frauds atid falsehoods, tho tiicks nnd cheats;
practiced on the r.i.-.sses of the people j
of the freo States, to decov them into tno support
of some impotent tool of tho slavery propagandists,
art just beginning to open their eyes to the
fact tliat our partisan politicians are neither patri
ots nor statesmen, but rather a gang of political
prirateors and freebooters, who havo navigated tho
ahin of Stato on to tho outer circuits of the great
whirlpool of universal slavery; nnd that, unless
this piratical crew are cast ovcrboaad, nnd the
i-htp's helm put hard over with a stern nud defiant
hand, her cargo of freodom is lest forever.
" Liberty for the slave, or slavery for tho free
laborer," is now tho dilemma into which tho Union
is forced by tho cupidity of tho slaveholders and
the corruptions of free Statos politi. ill adventurers;
and, as non-si. vvtiioLDKiis, thcro is no choico left
to us but to submit to the iron dcsr.otirm of the
slavery propagandists, or suffer thu North and the
South, like Abraham and Lot of old, to part as
friends rather than to lire together ns rival ene
mios, in a hopeless and embittered struggle to
harmoniie systems so utterly, fatally irreconcilable,
as ustitTT and SLAViay.
Tho gentleman from Georgia, Mr. Stephens, the
other day, seemed lo imugiue blinsolf fighting over
again the great compromise buttlo of 1H50.; and
inasmuch as uorthnm gentlemen at that tim! cither
were, or affected to bo alarmcJ for the safety of
the Union, the gentleman is under the delusion that
the like bluster now will produce the liko etl'ect
upon the prest ut Congress. That gentleman (and
r. i t.v no m.na (Via onlv ono in tha samu dark"

which led to that ruinous and disgraceful surrender

Now, sir, I am persuaded that a gcuflomnn so
full of the red hot lava of cloqiienco as tho gentle
man from Goorgiu ono so richly endowed Willi
tho gift of making tho better Mincer the better
reason, woum uavs out littio trouble in domonstrat-
1113 10 .nose poor constituents ot his that tlio en-
skivcnient of the negro, by degrading labor,
had
been tl.o causa ot tno poor whito man s poverty
and degradation, nnd would be forever a "dead

on tho fruits of labor extcrted. from their bondmen
by the cruel appliances of tho slavb system, I do
not know. It
nnghti J tlnhk would be. an ugly !
;job ; but by so much would its nceomplishmpnt be
me more wormy 1110 gonticmiin s prowess. iut
tough anil ugly as the job n.ny be for the gentle
man, it will not compare in difficulty with that
which he commands to somo of us of thn free
States. Tho "prejudices" of my constituents, for
instance in favor of tho "golden rule," and the
Declaration of Independence, added to the univer
sal instincts of humanity the teachings of reason
the voice of conscience ns woll ns tho invincible
biases of a Christian education, all constitute a
Gibrnltar of difficulties, which I confess would he
sufhoicnt even to dampen tho chivalry of tho veri
est of the Quixots among the slavery propagandists.
Besides, in my case, with the exception of some
two or three hundred Government officials, whose
"prejudices" on these subjects are not vincible but
vendible, I havo of mulo constituents, of twenty
years old nnd upward, over twenty thousand capa
bio of reading nnd writing, together, with a like
number of women, equally well instructed, intelli

love of justice, liberty, and Christianity, and a
corresponding abhorrence of slavery. All thoso,
Mr. Chairman, constitute a nhabinx of oninncina-

WHAT THE SOUTH PROPOSES TO DO
ABOUT IT.
"
11
":
The recent conduct nf not onlv the Abolitionists,
but of the belter portion of tho pcoplu of Boston
also, should oneu tho eves of thu South, nnd
prompt her citizens to take proper steps to main -
tain tl.eir rights and to prepare for the crisis which
is fast approaching.
Wo havo been often told that the great body ol
the Northern people are disposed to stand by" the
compromises of the Constitution, and to oby the
laws of the land iii relation to tho rendition of fu-
gitive slaves but w? have seen no evidence of
such patriotism on their part. It may bo true that
a roafority 0f tbcm are not slarc ,1'alers : but tLe
n.,.t ,lmt ,,lc bH(. ,,c,ltiniout of tie Xorth doe
ll0t enforce a prompt and ready obedience to the
enactdfor the protection of
?uutllorn ! I". " w"1' P"""
honesty ou tlicir lips they nro willing to see Ui
rohhed, and that tlicy stand Ly and permit it
robbed, nnd thiU they su.nd by and permit it tube,,
done, -without rinsing a hand to prevent the
summation of the outrage. Can any one believe
that there would have been nuy necessity for call
ing out a portion of tho United States army to ex
ecute the law, if the people of Uoston hiid been
disposed to do justicu to tho South ? If tho law
abiding portion of her eitisens nro unable to keep
the abolitionists in check, they must be in a minor
ity. If, on the other band they nre strong enough
to enforce the law, hnving failed '.o do so, they
show their sympathy with the abolitionists to such
a degree as must satisfy every mind that the South
need not expect justke at their hnnds.
In cither case, we have no security for our rights,
and the sooner our people shnll set about to devise
some adequate means for tho pi enervation of their
interests, the letter it will bo for thrui.
I am ne alarmist, no disunionist t ut I think it
must be apparent to every thinking mind, that our
connection with the North eniinot bo muintaincd,
unless the people of the North will do us justice.
There can be no confidence between the two sec
tions of the country as long as it shall be required
to call on the armed forces of tho C'cncrul Govern
ment to enforce a rolucHaut and constrained obedi
ence to tho laws which havo Lccu passed for our
protection.
Our Northern "brethren for such I will still call
them presume too much on our known devotion
to'lbo Union. They should know, however, that
there is a point beyond which forbearance ceases
to ho n virtue, nnd at which patriotism itself, no
less than self-interest, may require of the South to
sever a connection which is maintained only for
their oppression and degradation; Until this
crisis is forced on us wo should be thinking nbout
" the mode and measure of redress." What can
wo do to teach our enemies that we will not al
ways submit to their aggressions?
Iu view of the recent verdict in tho case of
SrooNEn rj. Daniel, which I regard as one of the
greatest enormities yet committed on tlio South,
1 would hife our people r.''mc to sul'milc to am
journal ;.o(i'.yiO!? in a jrVre .V.'o.'c. And, ns our
.Northern brethren aro "warring to tho knile
against Southern labor, let us dismiss from our
employment all northern men who have not given
unmistakable evidence of their devotion to our
institutions. Kspecially would I invoke thoso who
Imvo the directiun of our public tcoi k.i to lot.tf no
time in casting off nil such individuals'. Were 1
the Hoard of Public Works, I would call on every
State Director to uso influences in carrying oui
this policy. Why should we nourish vipers in our
bosoms, who sting us whenever an occasion odors?
The recent arrest of one of their Northern em
ployees on the Virginia nr.d Tennessee Kail-road,
for his insurrectionary efforts, shows that the nbo-
Ijtioiiis'.B have their secret agents among us ;
and
the frequent Cncai.es of our slaves along tho lines
f impruv"!!. cut, loaves no doubt on the minds of
tnose wtio imvo given an attention to tno suhiect
lnc;!0 ngcnls ato judiciously distributed ou
our public works.
Let us, then, look to our own safety, and apply
tho proper remedy for the evil of which w o com
plain. Let a lofty patriotism, and not a blind party
spirit, guido us iu all our delibcraticus and iu all
our actions.
Let tho people of the South unite as brotbrcn in
defence of their common rights and common inte
rests; and wo will teach thu people ut tho JNoito
that the y must do us justice tciihout Ine intervention
of the armed forees of tho United States; or that
they mny regard us no longer their brethren, but
as enemies who aro nut to be despised.

THE NEGRO ATTACHE AND MR. MASON.
The following curious narrative terms part ot a
letter of an occasional correspondent of the Ao-
'ttonal ura.
LONDON, April 29, 1854.
For many years there bad been connected with'
the American legation iu Paris u negro of remark
able qualifications. He was r.ot a Virginia negro,
for they seldom speak French, nud w ould make
themselves awkwardly objectionnl at French courts,
lie was nn unostentatious man, a great linguist;
clover diplomatist, nnd wns respected by all whey
know him for his nffahlo manners. Ho had. fut"
many years been the main staff of tho legation i
and several times during Saufurd's absence prove"
himself not to bo worst nxjger connected w itn ir:
Americans knew him, respecting him, vaulted hint
for his attention to the duties of the ofiiee. He had!
shono through several administrations, watched
their changes With interest, given a welcome recep
tion to every new minister, had been treated kind
ly in return, and bad trained his 'boss" iu the'
ctiquettical performances, of preparing fot court.
Ho had proved himself quite expert in tho passport
to American citizens. But John Y. Mason, a gen
tlemnn who'left his French in Virginia, and brought
only his prejudices with him, brenme the Ameri
can minister who was to astonish tho French court
wiih his rtfinement, his brilliancy, his greatness,
everything bnt his I'rtnch, the thing mcBt cssentiaD
The question of clothes arose, nr.d the good sent
of the "nigger" being opposed tof. ggery, n qaar'
rel was the result, nnd tho favored negro himself
was summarily discharged.
Tho following extract from a IcIliT which t ro-' .'
ceived from a friend in Paris, a few dairs anOc
touches rn the affair; " Our legation here is m
sad situation. Tho negro long connected with it ,
and thoso who was tho main staff of the minister
as well iu deplomacy as m tho miuoruutios of tha
office, has quarreled with him, nnd l.e has leff.

Mason is now liko a Chi.iamau in Now York, with

cans ever 6co Masi ft; bnt they bear of his awk
wardness at court with pained feelings."
Wa must add. that there seldom is a great foe
without a small gain, and, in this instance, nor
minister to Kussia became the gainer. Hearing
the trouble between Mason and the negro, and
the value of the latter personage, ha boing a cooi
Bnssian scholar, secured bis services ana proceed .
with him to his placo of destination, where ii
expected he will render good service in behalf of
mnto logation. It is hoped tba. Gen. tV'ebb
and Mr. Buchanan's remonstrance having f&i.ea
inducing Mr. Seymour to proceed to bis pott.
the negro will succeed.
