Tlliy have become satisfied that there is but 01 o thin" which will satisfy our southern WUiron" and that is the right to carry slaverj every where, to piant it everywhere, to ustaii, u everywhere, against the united vishes as it 18 against the united interests >f the North.

That is what they charge them with, and It 1? well that they should know it. It is useless to cry peace, sir, when there it no ir-ii'" n ??lr' wllc" l'a' comproriitics 0 the Constitution were entered inlJ by out fathers, it has been said that if the same spirit had existed which exists now, those compromises never could hive ' been made. 1 sec the truth of the rem, rk; i .! lr,lt'1 of the remark, sir; for when those compromises were entered into they were entered into under the sole inn convictlou that the powers of slavery f oni that day was not to increase but to re ro gn,.dt"'' "" Jhey had had the conviclii ins, ?r ,, -V ,""1 Pursued the policy wl icli our Southern friends arc now intent ui on those compromises never could have bbeu entered into. What did they get?what did our Southern friends get by those com promises? They got the slavery represeit tion. 1 hey got the fouudntiou for a fugi tive slave law.. They got exemption from export duties. They got three very lat-ge advantages. What did the North get, or , v, hat did tho interests of freedom get??r fi,r' -tllc-v g?' lI>o implied pledge that alter the year 1808 the importation of Africans, or the foreign slave trade, should cease. ( -'?w, sir, the South boasts to-day that they ?re in full possession of all tho bene fits of all the compromises of the Coustitu tion; tlmt they have the slavery rcpresjVn .1""; a"d, if I understood u geutleitian who spoke it few days ago, that they have here, by force of the three-fifths represen tation, twenty members upon this lloor. 1 hey boast, sir, that they have the fugitive slave law, and that the North does not abide by its provisions. They are certain ly exempt from duty upon exports: and where is the North, with her sharo of the compromises of the Constitution?

Now, sir, whom Jiru we? Who is there that represents that southern sentiment of 1850 and 18D4, upon this floor? Who is there that represents it? Is there i\ny southern member who represents it? It is likely that there is. If there be, however, he has maintained a most respectful si lence up to this moment. No, sir; the souther^ sentiment destroys all the bene-1 fits which the North got by the compro mise of 1850 nud 1854. I will not under take to say what the motive of the man was who introduced the Kansas-Nebraska bill, but I think that no man ought to have doubted what the effect of that bill would be. The South undoubtedly expected that it would conduce to the interest of sla very, and the effort was strenuously made. I think, in Kansas, to reap that benefit from that provision of the bill. But from the moment that it failed to plant slavery in Kansas, it has been repudiated, and if I understand the position which the South occupy to-day, it is that they will have nothing to do with .this thing of squatter sovereignty. They wash their hands of it. Now here ,is the first, the second,, the third, the fourth, and the fifth compromise which theNorth have entcrcd|iuto with the South upon tliis all-absorbing subject of slavery; and the North charge upoii the Soutli'that in every single instance of com promise they have violated them after having received the benefit, or tried to re ceive the benefit arising froip their side of the bargain. And these charges have to be answered, not here merely, but at other times and other . place. They will have to be answered next year, and I assume now the position that the South have got to wash their hands of these things, or they have got to give up the Federal offices. [Applause and cries of "Good I" upon the Republican side.] Now the South have right3 guaranteed under the UOllstituiiuu, vui ??-?? - ?* -y the rights. The North have a few. Indi vidually, I would not withhold from the South, or from any portion of the South, the least, as I would not the greatest right, guaranteed to her either by fundamental law or statute.' I would treat her as I would treat a younger sister; I would give her more than she was entitled to, rather than less, because she is the weaker party. I would bestow bounties even upon her: hut when she comes here or anywhere else and demands, as a right, what was not her right, and seeks to wrest from the North what she is not entitled to, I would deny her. That is my position, nnd those are my principles at the present time: for it I understand the politics of the country at the North; if 1 have not been bliuded for the last four years, there are no poli tics in the Uniied States now but "nig ger." The whole politics of the country are involved in^tlie negro question. Shall slavery travel Into the Territories or shall it not? that is the question. There is no other question,and there will be no other question in the presidential contest of 1800, ami if I am constrained to choose between the party which insists that slavery shall travel every where. against right, and that parly which says it sliall not go anywhere, even when it i3 right. 1 cannot help it. That is all. I stand upon the principle of the Kansas Nebraska bill. 1 believe it is sufficient for ns. It is anyhow tho bond between the North and the South, and I will try it a little further, and I am with the men who are for that principle. 1 know how it will result. It will result exactly where the Republicans desire it should end?it will end in the exclusion of slavery from all. tlic Territories of the United States. If there is any mail who is committed to the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, who does not answer that question in that way when it is propounded to him, all 1 have to say is that lie is either wilfully blind or slightly dishonest. Sir, I have never uttered a political sen timent in my life, that 1 can remember, that I would not utter here in the hearing of the South?not one. 1 have always stood bv the Democratic party when I be lieved it to be right. 1 adhcro to the | principles of tho Democratic party: and 1 have always opposed that party when 1 believed it' to be wrong; and I intend to do so forever. There shall not lie any mis understanding I ietw ecu any gen tlcnuui upon j the Democratic side of the House nnd my self. I fuel perfectly certain that the party has been bankrupted by this Administra- j tiou of James lSuchanan. I know it. I know it; for whenever the Democratic par tv cau no longer control northern masses, then that party is bankrupt, aud that is the condition of that party to-day. There is not a northern State, not one, as there is scarcely a northern county, that can be carried upon the doctrine upon which Mr. Huclmnan this day bases the Administra tion. I want the party to put itself right at Charleston; and, if it will not put itselt right, I want it to put itself plainly wrong. I do not want thp people, either of the North, or of the South, to be deceived by any platform which can he interpreted in one way in one section and in another way in another section. If it is the sentiment or the Democratic party that slavery shall travel with the column of our advancing civilization, I sav,-put it so before the peo ple, express it "plainly, and receive the northern verdict upon it.
