upon this mundane sphere. We eougbed steadily and
laboriously for on whole week, in hopes of tirtnfV out,

The House bill No. 850; "To prevent giving
aid to fugitive slaves." Pending a motion to
indefinitely postpone, Mr. Jonas said: , ..
Mr. SriaKia: It is with some heeitatloi, af
ter listening to several eloquW speeches, I arise
to reply, not being an orator, or acquainted with
rules of Loglo or Rhetoric j but I do presume to
have some knowledge of the rules of common
sense. The debates on thia bill have taken an
enlarged space, and wandered far from its proper
range. It is not debating the bill, but abatract
questions. We are also discussing a compromise
by which we can harmonixs with our Southern
brethren, and more especially with the Border
States. I well recolleot, Sir, about 24 years
since,' the dreadful calamity which befel the
Moselle steamboat Some circumstance caused
me to be present on the banks of the Ohio, not
far beyond the present site of the Clnoinnati
Water Works, and curiosity prompted me to
stay awhile and observe the proceedings of a
body of Oerman emigrants, about sevenly or
eighty in number, consisting of men, women and
children, grouped together, with their luggage,
near the tirer. A raft of timber was in front
of them. They seemed wailing for somo con
veyance. A fow minutes elapsed, when, round.
ing a point, appeared the Moselle, under a head
of steam. She approaohed the shore, and from
the raft embarked these hapless strangers.
The steam whistle was heard, and she drew off
from the raft. Scarcely had the. wheels been
put in motion, when, horror! she blew up with
tremendous explosion, and more than two
hundred souls were Instantly launched into eter
aitjl 2 The sight was too horrible for descrip
tion. The alarm spread, and In a few minutes
the bank was crowded with despilrfog relatives
and lamenting friends.' The sged would heave
their measured lamentations, whilst the young
gave utterance to quick and impulsive eiclama
tlons of horror and affright; timid and soft heart
ed women would sicken at the details of the ca.
lamlty, and man's stern heart would quicken at
the recital. " The whole nation was start
led by the shock,' and ninny of our' citizens
were In mourning for the dead.; The inquiry
was at once instituted, How did It happen J Up
on whom rests the dread responsibility of thia
trageoyi . ....
If our people are so semitive to an qoccrreo.ee

How has this great change been brought about?
It is the work and agitation pf demagogues and

I have listened, Mr. Speaker, to the sentiments
and higher-law broached, by the gentleman
from Meigs, and IhaTe paid attention to 'the
Abolition doctrines promulgated .by the Rev,
gentleman from Huron.' I would now esquire,
who entailed upon us 'the curse of slam?!
The) answer Is, .Northern ' men and Northern
ships.; 1 : Whoi .continues, this Jtotrid.) trade!
Echo Says, Northern men and Northern ships. J
Yea gentlemen, the descendants, of the Pilgrim
Father, hypocrites as they are, after rolling in
wealth and luxury from th!r Illegal trade) after
entailing on the Bouth this corse; they -would
abolish slavery,'and deptive them of iheir prop

their vlotlmB Into irremediable rutn. I am not

Slavery In the Sonlh Is an institution, and the
framers of the Constitution guarded their rights
and their property.:.; We hare Infringed upon

Mr, Speaker, if I understand the gentleman
from Huron, he would like to have the whole
raoe freed at once. Why, sir, It would be worse
than the inundation of the northern barbarians
which overwhelmed the Roman Empire.
have seen it stated, that when the British Par
liament dissolved the apprentice system in their
West India Islands, Jamaica became a scene of
riotous behavior, and had it not been for the
strong military ganuens, the same scenes
might have been enaoted as in San Domingo.
Many years aince, commercial pursuits caused
me to visit Port au Pilnoe, in the Republio of
Hayti, (San Domingo). President Boyer (a
quadroon) was unable to keep his felIowcItizens
(about 1 millions) in order with less than
thirty thousand soldiers distributed in the sever
al towns and garrisons. On the Sunday after my
arrival, a gentleman, a quadroon merchant, to
whom I was consigned, (who, by the way, was
educated in Baltimore) conducted me. to the pa
rade ground, where about four thousand troops
were reviewed by the President. The privates
were black, all the officers were white, or near
so. On remarking to the gentleman the cir
cumstance, he stated that the offloere were all
quadroons; that the blacks made good servants,
but bad masters; he also stated that their
intellect was not sufficiently bright, neither
would they submit to individuals of their
own color. I found them louneine- about
the city; and they appeared to be lazy,
idle loafers, spending their time at bil
liards and gambling tables, day and nieht.
quite vicious and immoral. Several of my
American companions agreed to accompany me
on horseback into the interior, and we repaired
to the mountainous districts, and viewed what
were formerly splendid plantations and country
seats, dilapidated and nearly in ruins; the pres
ent owners idling and basking in the sun. We
conversed with several, who stated they had
plenty to oat and drink without working. Thoy
lived on plantains, bananas and oranges, and
sometimes a little flour and salt pork from the
clty which they procured by raking up the coffee
beans which lay mixed with dirt and stones
under the coffee trees or bushes, uncultivated
and nearly ruined. This was the greatest su
gar and coffee Island in the West Indies under
the French government; the curse of slavery
had been followed by unconditional emancipa
tion, and they are now perfectly demoralized
and fast returning to barbarism. Under the
French planters, they were a woikiog and hap
py poopie. Bee toe contrast. Let us cast our
eyes on Africa, their native country, the King'
dom of Dahomey, for Instance, the young king
or wnloo lately came to the throne, and offered
np a thousand of his race as an hecatomb to the
manes of his dead father. None of yon oan
deny that their condition Is bettered under servi
tude with the Southern planters. '
Let us Uk another view. Have the free col
ored people in the free States bettered them
selves or their condition? "The answer might
be looked a -la oar poUoe reports, Have thev
become industrious, moral and' good citizens?
L:ok at their brothels, and the vagrants about
our streets, lanes, and alleys, enquire) of our po
lice officers concerning them, your information
will be that they are a nuisance to society, and
those portions of the cities they reside In are dens
of filth, corruption and debauchery. ' '
I acknowledge thero are many exceptions to the
general rule, bat those are principally composed
of, the Intermediate colors. Agitation has been
the means of rendering their situation under
their masters considerably' worse than It was
heretofore; I recollect, before the agitation
commenced, maqj years since, Kentucky was
considering the question of grn&wl emancipa
tion, and a bill was introduced) their leg
islature for the purpose of amending their State
Constitution for that purpose; and was lost by
vary small majority, Agitation in (he mean
time commenced, and the next legislature In
definitely postponed the subject by nearly a
unanimous vote, and so the opportunity was
lost; and thus, you will perceive, sir, that the
agitation by tha abolition party, Is Inimical to
emancipation. If they expect to carry out the
principle of gradual emancipation, they must re
frain from, any and all agitation. If yon wish
for peace and harmony throughout our beloved
country, compromise with the Border States. V
Are we to ruin our glorious , republio for the
sake of an inferior raoe? Are we attain to Buf
fer for that race,' as our flrat parents did when
expelled from the Garden of Edent - I will now
refer to a remark made by the Rev'd gentle
man from Huron, when 'quoting from the com
mentaries of Adam Clark. He discovered that
Clark htd protested against the Devil, "and
that he had never before met with suoh a pro
test." I have tha pleasure (9 present the gen
tleman with another protest from the same au
thor.' Adam Clark, In commenting on the first
verse of the third chapter of Genes Is, declares
his belief that the serpent was not a Snake or k
Devil, but, was probably an Orang-outang. - He
wa getting near the truth, but seventy years
since, in England, he dared not approach, near
er, but having entered, .bis, protest, he Devil
andBfttanwas discharged, by him; for ever.
The.. Rev'd gentleman, from: Huron wUhes to
know who la .SixtauT.and. yitbeUi not an evil
spirit? and bow. I get over , .the description of
him In the book of Job, Mr Speaker, with the
permission of he. Houie,,.J wlll ptay my
argument a few, minutes, to, answer the gentle
man from Jiuron. X,st nt turn to the first of
Job, sixth verse "Now there was. a day. when
the sons of God came to present themselves he
fore tha Lord, and . Satan came also emoug
them,", Now, it appears that Satan, must bare
been the chief of the sons of God, for the Eter
nal addresses him -alone and In very familiar
terms. -1 refer yon to the whole chapter, and
would, now .enquire pf 'tfcegentlemaa from
Huron, If he considers tho Prosecuting Attorney
of our criminal courts an evil being? , la he not
the most respectable officer, of the court? and
does not the Judge consult with him occasion
allv?J Then, oanparing temporal with Spiritual
objeoUdwhy cannot Satan be a son and servant of
Godf He performs his benest, and Is the accuser
of mankind at the footstool of the Deity . ' We
or
it
of
3,
find him again in the same capacity, and before
the same court, accusing Joshua the High priest,
Zech., ch. 3. v. 1 At 2 Satan appears to have the
most honorable place in the court of the Eter
nal, at "the right hand," and Joahua clears him
self by the assistance of his guardian angel,
and is pronounced not guilty, and the prosecutor,
Satan, is rebuked, not having made out his case.
"I I would further remark, before I leave the
Book of Job, that In several Important passa
ges, where the word in Hebrew is positively
Bless or Praise, it is wrongly translated, in the
present version of the Bible in common use, as
a Curse; thereby rendering the text wrongfully.
But the Catholic version of the same passages
is correctly translated. Having, I hope, sat
isfied the gentlemen from Huron, I will proceed
with my argument. '
Now, a serpent is a reptile, and whenever be
is described or mentioned in other parts of the
Scriptures, by this; name, nacAtift, it Is always
as a small reptile; but this must have been
reptile of a larger growth, and stood up on its
feet, before the Lord. It had the organs of
speech, and a reasoning-Intellect. We find it
In familiar conversation with Eve, and, with all
tho low "cunning of a negro, it beguiles the
weaker vessel. There are a number of species
of the serpent, but we are not Informed which
It was.' The large snakes or serpents are nam
ed in Hebrew,- Tahnim We will now refer to
the description given In the 3d Chapter of Gen
esis, verte 1, (literally.) Now the Sorpent
was wiser than all the Beasts of the field;"
therefore, consequently he must be the connect
ing link between Adam (the man) and the
Brute or Beast. The Hebrew word naekath Is
composed of three letters (consonants), and ac
cording to the vowel points attached, may have
three different meanings; at all events, a ser
pent Is a reptile, and cannot stand on its tail;
has no organ of speech, nor reason log intellect.
But this individual is a responsible being, is lia
ble for all its crimes. It was older than Adam
and Ere, knowing the will of God, and being
able to distinguish between good and evil, It en
tloes the weaker vessel, being a pure, Innocent
personage, nnused to guile and falsehood. It
raised her female cariosity, (which Is proverbi
al,) and beguiled her with a lie.
This was an unpardonable crime (in this
world), and the punishment was commensurate
with the crime. Now, let us examine what was
the punishment; 14th and 15 ;h verses: "And
the Lord God said unto the Serpent, Because
then hast done this, thou art cursed above all J
cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat
all the days of thy life. And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed. It shall bruise tby head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel." This was not
only a curse, but a prophecy. This is an east
ern emblem of the lowest stage of slavery. He
is to humble himself to his master's feet, and
eat the offAlla from his master's tafle. "The
seed of the woman shall bruise tby head, and I
thoa shalt bruise his heel.'- This Is also em
blematic of slavery; the slave creeps to the feet
of his master, takes one of his feet and placea it
on his head.
I will now appoal to those who are acquaint
ed with ethnological researches, that the cra
nium and anatomy of the black man are as dif
ferent from the white man as that of the ape
or baboon. I acknowledge the negro to be of
the genu homt, but not of (he alms speoiei' as
the Sematlc raoe. This is not a theory special-'
mine, but ono adopted by many of the learned
savans and philosophers of the present sge. I
will give a few of tho names of these great men
for reference: Professor L. Agaselz, XL. D.; W.
Asher, M D.; Samuel. G. Morton, M. Delate
Secretary of the Academy of Natural Science
aed Philosophy at Philadelphia; Professor H- H
Patterson, Rosselllnl, Lepsus, ' author of the
the Book of the Kings of Egypt; the great ling
nisi and philosopher, Chevalier C. F. Bunscn,
and I refer you to his great work (lately trans
lated from the German), "Egypt's Place In UoL
versal History ;"and lastly, 'Types of Mankind,'
'Ethnological Researches' by Nott and
Gliddon. ' " ' ' '
By Investigating Genesis we will discover
more than one race beside the Adamio. We
find that when Cain was driven from the pret
ence of God and his parents, that he found a
wife, (although Adam and Ere had no daugh
ters at that time;) be also built a city and call
ed it after his son Enochs Query, where did
Cain get his wife? Who were the inhabitants
that dwelt In his new cltjtWho were the par
ties that assisted in building said city? Again,
Genesis, Ch. VI , v. 24: "There were Giants In
tha earth in (Aos days; and also after that,
when" the" aonsjof. the Codtn (plural? Uebrt)
"same in unto the daughters of Adam, and
they bear children to them, the eame were
mighty men, In the totrU tf oli (Hebrew text)
men of ' renown." We have reason to believe
these Gianta were at leaat fourteen feet high.
Deu'y. Ch. III., v. lh "For only Og, king of
Bashan, remained of the remnants of Giants;
behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is
not in Rabath of the children of Amnion?
Nine cublta was the length thereof, and four
cubits the breadth of it'. A cubit is about 23
Inches. There are several other passages prov
ing the race of Giants the remnant of those
who were in the antedeluvian i world, so that it
appears there were races which escaped Noah's
flood. The historical records and settlement
Egypt go back far beyond the flood.
Baron Bunsen,ln his valuable work on Egypt,
states that there are no hleroglyphleal or monu
mental records whatever of Noah 'a flood. ) In
the Preface of "Egypt's Plaoe in History," vol.
p, II, he says "that Egypt was Inhabited by
man who made use of pottery about eleven thou
sand years before the Christian era." .'.We also
discover, through this great author's works, the
age of the first ZoroasterVthe Bactrlan, and the
historical notices In the Vtndidad and Zand.
The Zaroastorlan tradition about the primeval
land and the emigration of , the Tyranians, Arl-
ana and Ianlans, In consequence of a convulsion
of nature, their journeys from the north-eastern
parts of Asia, their settlements in Mogul Tar
tar?, China' and India.' He plaoea the Garden
Eden, with its great' valley, In Central Asia,
between four great rivers , which he names; he
considers the flood, by what he deems and de
monstrates as positive testimony, to have flood

Before I leave this section of Bay arnatent. ' "'
permit me to say that I consider the chronology ' "
of the present version of the Bible Irtcorrect,.'
and Archbithop Usher having followed It, eon- -
sequently our present vulgar chronology of the'
schools la also incorrect. It is well known to 0
the literary world that Ptolemy Philadelpkus, -King
of Eygpt, prevailed with the High Priest 1 '
at Jerusalem to send him a correct copy ef the '
Hebrew scriptures, and also seventy of the most '
talented linguists in the Hebrew aod Greek Un-"
guages, for the purpose of Its translation. Thev '
arrived at Alexandria, In Eygpt, with a perfect "
copy of the tame, and were shut up la a palace" l"
in the Isle of Pharos. After a considerable 'J
time the translation waa completed, and many -copies
were permitted to be taken from it for' 1
the Alexandrian and other Jewish communities. "" '
This was the famed "Septuaglnt." When we :,t
