SPEECH OP HENRY WARD
BEECHEK.
At a Fremont and Dattos young
men's ineetins, held at Broadway Taber
nacle, in Xew York, Tuesday evening,
September 16, Hsxbt Ward Beecher,
John P. Hale and others spoke. The
following are the remarks of Mr. Beech
er, as we find them reported in the ZSew
York papers :
FELLOw-cmzEXS: I congratulate
mvself on beiu- present tonight on such
a meeting, in such a place, for such a pur-
n. with such a coodly attendance;
for I have always felt that until we could
bring in some sense that which makes the
imily what it is, into our political cir-
les and considerations, we suouia u.cic.t
almost certainly and hopelessly to the
conscious meanness and ignobleuess 01
ale politics. (Laughter and applause.)
am, therefore, almost happy to see so
many hdies here to-night, because tney
have a rid it to take an interest in that
,-hich lies at the foundation, I may say,
f the very country itself, and the cause
f liberty iu this country. Xoue more
ban thev, peed to be well informed, and
so far as right instincts are tue uest.
teachers, none are better informed as to
what is generous, pure, true and good,
than the sisters, wives and mothers of
, . 1 ITT
our coantrvmen. (Appiause.j neiue
.sseirbled, fellow citizens, upon no ordi-
narv occasion 01 cituaucui.
' has its parallel in almost every con
Iderable town in the United States north
of Mason's and Dixon s line. (Ap
plause.) In all all our rural districts
where they have no such buildings as
this they are obliged to enter that "temple
not made with hands" which God built,
We have passed through a great many
election scenes in our life-time, but never,
since our fathers trod these western
shores, has there been a parallel to the
canvass which is now going on thoughbut
the United States. It is not merely a
question between the ins and outs which
recur once in four years. It is not merely
a question between an Administration
that has forfeited its promises, as if that
were anything strange, and the people
calling upon them to render an account,
It is not simply such a question as agi
tated this country in 1840 ; for, although
there was then an excitement which
made that year a memorable one in the
political calendar of this country, yet
1849 will never be mentioned after I806.
(Great applause.) If you will recollect,
from 1335 or '36 a series of commercial
embarrassments agitated the whole coun
try. There was a destruction of credit,
a destruction of property accumulated,
and there was a crash of interests all
over the land, east and west. In 1840
the people were irritated, and were full
of evil auguries for the future ; they
were uneasy, dissatisfied and suffering.
It is never hard to make a great campaign
when the people are suffering in their
pockets and their interests, and it is no
wonder, then, when they had such an
Administration was that presided over
by Martin Van Buran, that there was
such a whirlwind and revolution. But
now we are not suffering. In ur stores.
shops and harvests, never have we been
more prosperous. The earth has smiled,
the heavens have smiled, and God hath
blessed us in all material respects. Ma
nufactures, commerce, and agriculture,
all have thriven. Xever in any period
of our history have there been so many
conspiring causes of prosperity as in this
year ; and yet, untroubled, with any
thing that usually draws men together in
excitement, they have risen up with an
unanimity and with an intensity of feel
ing and a determination such as was
never known before. And why all this ?
I think the reason is very obvious. It is
suspected by the people that the Consti
tution which was ordained for Liberty,
has been .perverted and wrested from the
purposes and objects intended by its
framers. The' consequence is that the
people are determined to recur again to
their old history, to look at the wording
of old documents, and to reason again
from first principles. I pas3 now to con
sider the particular cause which has
aroused the people to that state of excite
ment now prevailing iri regard to the
strange developments which have been
made in Kansas. I think that Calhoun
was the father of Kansas. I think that
if he were alive now he would be oblige!
to father these difficulties, as coming more
Ingimatelj rom the theories of govern
ment advocated by him than from any
other man in the whole South, under the
influence of this man, the feelings of the
South have been revolutionized ; for,
whereas Slavfty was once a thing to be
apologized for, now they adopt Calhoun's
doctrine that Slavery is a good thing
yea, that is the foundation of Democra
cy, for which passim, see The Richmond
Enquirer and Charleston Mercury. This
being the state of feeling throughout the
Somh, this being the sentiment that is
now awakened throughout the South, we
are prepared to see what must be the
proper construction of Administrative
tendencies as they are supervised by
Southern statesmen. I will not trouble
you with a reference to the war with
Mexico. I will not direct your attention
1 to tne lexa. question. I will not
... Pnliffirnia
vou again witn reierenco w w
question, or the Omnibus Din 01
But let us look and apply our thoughts
to the Revolution which had been made
under the instruction of southern move
mentsnamely, the invasion of Kansas.
In the first place you will understand
t.- 4i. ini.niiim of the South. No
wuai is
man can doubt what the intention of the
South is. The inevitable tendency of
the South for she clings to the policy
of her wisest and ablest statesman is
to carry slavery right across the contin
ent to the Pacific. They do not Hesitate
to avow that it is their intention to carry
Ifivprv westward. But there was a wall
there, not made of wood no old Chinese
wall but a wall made up of amity and
compacts and pledges exchanged between
the nutated Xorth and South. It was
the Missouri Compromise of 1820 Jy
which the line of 368 30 1 was made the
dividing line. There was no getting ac
cess to this territory unless this wall was
broken down. I need not ask them to
remember the great excitement which
took place two years ago throughout the
country. I will not ask you to remember
the disagreeable snap judgment pronoun
ced by Congress upon this subject
When the Missouri Compromise was
broken down the South said that the
proposition came from the Xorthf and
they asked if they should decline it ? I
have been brought up to think that Slav
ery was particularly propitious to Chiv
alry. Late events have tended to shake
my faith ; but. that was my education. I
have been taught to believe that it is dis
honorable to break a contract. To break
this was particularly dishonorable.
Xever did fish swallow relishful morsel
quicker than the South caught at this
Compromise (Laughter.) But unlike
the fish of scripture, they refuse to
throw it up (renewed laughter ;) but yet
they will find it to- be a Jonah, and they
will be glad to do it (Laughter and
cheers.) The only difference between
the stealing of the Xebraska bill and in
dividual stealing, is that it is wholesale
stealing (Cheers.) I learn that I am
taken to task for engaging in politics ;
but when so much of personal abuse and
malevolence gets into politics, I leave it
to you if is not the duty of a minister to
preach against lying and wickedness
(Laughter.) I shall not stop to disenss
the right ? I have as a citizen to look to
the interests of my country (Cheers.)
But the fallacy of the Democratic doc
trine is that it is enough to show that the
proposition came from a Xorthern man
That is not enough. It should be shown
that it came from a man from the North
witn tne consent ot tne iNortn. iLvetry
Southern m.n knows that it was without
this consent but with the dissent of the
Xorth, expressed in every way that the
proposition was made. To say the Xorth
offered this is what I should call, in plain
old Saxon a lie (Cheers.) -But it is said
that this bill was passed merely to assert
a great principle. I am not given to
saint worship, but when I sec u man of
such purity of doctrines, of such moral
character, who is always a pilgrim to the
shrine of abstract principle, in fact a
short-legged saint like Douglas, for in
stance, I confess I feel worshipful in his
presence (Loud laughter.) But the idea
i3 absurd. To argue it to Xorthern peo
ple would indicate that they thought we
were born in the faith. But wc have
free discussion, a free press, free speech,
and by it we learn better. But as a
kind of salvo to this bill to let these
men who voted for the bill go through
the fire like Shadrach, Meshach and Ab
ednigo, unscathed, they christened it
with the pleasing title of Squatter Sover
eignty (Laughter.) It wa3 this : The
territory was to be opened to all alike,
and though outraged, the Xorth under
took the race for Kansas. It was a na
tional race one party bound for slavery
and the other party for Freedom. ' The
Xorth made use of organization to aid
them,. which they had always found so
useful in other enterprizes. These em
igrant aid societies were formed. What
are they ? The South suppose them to
be a kind, amoral Paxhain gun, but they
were in truth nothing but a sort of trans
portation company to forward ' emigrants
in bodies and' not singly. The societies
didn't pay the emigrant's passage nor
even buy them Sharpe's rifles (Laugh
ter.) Thus when election day came on,
tie South found that instead of Snuatter
Sovereignty emptying the population of
Missouri, Carolina, or Alabama into
Kansas, Xew England had emptied her
population therein instead. That was a
horse of another color, and the result is
that the ballot box was vitiated by ruf
fians from Missouri, and with the ballot
box stricken down, I ask what our liber
ties are worth? Suppose if the ballot
boxes of Xew York were thus violated.
and there could bo no expression of
public opinion through it there would
be a revolution in 2 hours. There are
major rights and minor rights. The
hitter may be given up to convenience or
any other cause, but major rights no man
has any rights to make any bargain or
to leave them undefended, (cheers ;) and
when the South prevented Free Stale
men in Kansas from voting In n
trouble j knd, th.y struck a blow at the very heart
of our political system.- By such cor
rupt means a bogus Legislature was
elected in Kansas and Governor Recder
refused to give certificates of election to
some of it members. .All that our fathers
ever protested against in the Revolution
could not compare to the outrage of put
tin in a foreign body of men as u Leg
islature. Suppose Great Britain had
raked up some of the scoundrels of Lon
don and sent them to this country in
1778, and made them the Legislature
for the Colonies ; they would have been
blown sky high in a moment (cheers.)
When this Legislature sat, what was the
fruit that it brought forth ? It labored
and its first born was Slavery (Laugh
terlike begetting like a monster be
getting a monster (Renewed laughter.
Yet it will be recollected that the Mis
souri Compromise was abrogated for the
love of abstract principles (Laughter.)
Then they declared that it was an offense
punishable in tlie pwiitcntiary to print
about Slavery, or to say a word against
the ricrht to hold slaves. This was the
FJ
prelude to allowing a people to judge o
the matter of Slavery and then decid
for themselves whether it should exist in
the Territories or not. Here, gentlemen,
is a chain, w hich, in fulfilling these in
famous and informal edicts, jyas put
about the legs of two free men because
they were Free State map ; and thus
manacled they were compelled to walk a
distance of 60 miles, until the chain had
worn itself through their flesh to their
very bones. (The speaker here exhibited
a chain of about five feet in length, with
two padlocks on it. It had been sent to
him by a resident of Kansas. The ex
hibition of the chain created great sensa
tion.) This chain I show as an evidence
of what, appreciation there is of free
speech and free press by Missourians i:i
Kansas. (Shame, shame.) . Yes, it is a
shame, and Southern legislation I now
trample under foot (Loud cheers.) After
the passage of these laws, officers were
appointed. Men could not be found, but
creatures could, and they showed them
selves to be fit to execute those laws.
They committed outrages under the color
of law, and without the color of law.
Murders, arsons, lynching, larcenies,
rapes, scalping were committed ; and
these things, though they shock the moral
sensibilities, are yet not as bad as the
violation of the ballot box. The South,
then having done all these things in
times past to extend the area of Slavery,
and keep up slave representation in
Congress, the question is now to be de
cided what is right and what is wron?
not by South Carolinia or Arkansas but
by the whole people, and whether you
vote for Buchanan, Fillmore or Fremont,
you will vote for one of two sides only
either for Slavery or Liberty. God
has brought up this question to test our
love of Liberty, our piety and our pa
triotism, and every vote given for Bu
chanan or Fillmore will go right to the
heart of Liberty, and every vote for
Fremont will right to the heart of Slav
ery. The question then is for men of
the North. . "Will I go for Freedom and
her institutions, of will I go for Slavery
and its institution ? I object to the, Cin
cinnati platform because it has anr.ointed
James Buchanan as the king of the
South. James Buchanan is the lineal
deseendent of Frank Pierce, but I hope
he has not descended far (Laughter.)
He typifies and represents the will and
deeds of the South during the past twen
ty years. I object to Mr. Fillmore be
cause he attempts to introduce an issue
in this canvass which cannot be intro
duced. I do not. say that the. American
party lias not had reason for its organiz
ation, nor do I say that it Jias not done
much good by breaking up old parties.
But I object to him, also, because of his
evasive and equivocating course on the
were intriguing inpoluij.

subject of Slavery. He has made up
his mind about Papacy and foreign im
migration, but on the great question of
Liberty he gives no opinion, except that
he is for the Union. Between Slavery
and Liberty he goes for both, and he
means to be that is, he wants to be
President of the Nation. It has often
been said, " Why does not Col. "Fremont
come out and say whether he is a Cath
olic or not ?" I'll engage that when Mr.
Fillmore comes out and says whether he
is for Freedom or Slavery, that Col.
Fremont will state whether lie is a Cath
olic or Protestant (Laughter.) Yet one
of these questions is a private matter,
with which, wo have no business and the
other is a question of great public im

such is the fact. (Laughter.) First, I
am for him because I have an opportu
