i SPEECH OF TIIOS. II. F0KD,!"lh,f Ten one word in favor of Free Lvu Yt.11 4 1 ' dorn. lhefo. to Y?id brln- ..kec

Of OMo Delivered Juna 13th, 1855, at the Ataembly JBailding, I'hiladslphia. Mr. Prttident: feci raucli embarrnssed when I rtflcct that I rie to repreaentthe views of the mighty West oa this vexed question of Slavery, now under discusiiun. I would to Ood Borne gentleman more competent to the task, had undertaken it. Gentle men from other Statea have shown a strong disposition to discuss party politics in this debate. With the dirty details of party politics we have noth ingtodo, in Ohio, . Our principles art patriotic and pure, our purposes high and holy. The wnUemcn who preceded me, have all tiistaken the policy of the founders of our Republic Thev ncra i PI " er micndeu to tolerate Slavery, or even to he responsible for its existence. Yiin the iramersot the Lonstuution Freedom WMsthe rule, Slavery the exception; Freed jm national, Slavery sectional. Bat Ibeio patriotio g?ntlemen from iho South are deairouü of changing the rule, so aa to make Slav ery national and Freedom sectional; to extend over territory now free, the soul within Ood-dtshononng curse of human Slavery. We, on the other hand, are desirous b( sustaining tho policy of our forefathers a IJible-based, law loving, liberty-loving- policy. And here we take issue'. The honorable gentleman from North Carolina, pointing to me, ttuntingly styi: "You of iho North refused to extend the Missouri Compromise Line to the Pacific, when we offered it to you." To this I reply, we did to refuse, and for this reason; we are deatrous of extending the area of Freedom, instead oflhecurte of human bondage . The honorable gentleman from Tennet; ee and Alabama have said that we at the North, were generally opposed to the establishment of that Missouri Compromise Line at the time the compact was entered into, in 1820. "On what pretext can you base your opposition to its repeal?' In answer to the gentleman, I say that the people of the North trere opposed to the establishment at that time, and for this reason. It was a bae surrender of territory to Slavery, that had been by the God of nature and our laws conaecraUd to Freedom. That at this moment, instead of the voice of Freedom ascending to Heaven In ardent prayers for the pwrpetuity of this Union, . thousands of human btdng were clanking the chains of abject Slavery there. Those men who were in Congress from the North and voted for this Compromise, lie forgotten, somewhere their memories have perished with them. So have we sent thoe who voted for its repeal to their political graves, to be remembered no more by us, except in the long liting annals of infamy. The gentleman over the wny nskn me to reconcile that position. I will. Sir. The territory Iho South acquired by virtue ofthat contract is already niyycred. yes, niggtrtd, all over. Th crtck of the driver! la?h (to the disgrace of humanity be it said) is this day heard on it every acre. The voice of freedom is not heard there, but Slavery, dark and damning, curves that otherwise beautiful country, having territory sufficient to make an empire of freemen. That is the reason we opposed its repeal, and now ask for its restoration. Wo cannot recall Slavery there now 'tis too late! If we could place that territory in the same situation it was m I li'Z u, there would be no trouble from our State about the repeal of the Missouri retriction. No, we would, lit e men, go into arena and fii-ht manfully the bullies of Freedom. Yet, Sir, we wou'd ee that Freedom. our inheritance was not turned to striingers. and our homes to aliens, and liberty left desolato in the land of our oreialhers. But the dark and damning deed is done and, regarding the rights of tho Statea under the Constitution, we can not change it now. And now, after our submisssion for thirty-four yeara to that iniquity, you come forward and inflict this renewed outrage upon us. lou say, "it in rue. north of that line was set apart to Freedom; but the contract was un constitutional, and consequently null and void." 1 care not from what poiai you view a .a a t: You bare taken oath under that cantract, and of courso are bound by it. You now come to us and say. -'Thin contract is void, do not attemrt to enforce it." Suppobo you eiveyour not to a friend for 8IUÜ. borrowed on the Sabbath; and alter wards to avoid payment, set up for defence that the note was given on Sunday, and consequently void, and you would not pay it. la what l'uut d you sunpoxe all honorable men wo'd view U7 In no other light tiinn as consummate villains, unworthy the confidence) of all honorable men. In this light Ohio, and the teeming rail lions of the mighty West, whom I fee blr represent here, view you, lientlo men, In relation to this Ivansitft-lNe braxka Iniquity I 1 anneal to Heni e - . . . -. aentativaa from the South, la the name of all that is honorable in tho name of Ood, to be this once influenced by the pure promptings of right nnd jua lire, and restore this Compromise Line or from this day hide your deformed a a a a heads and make your appearance no mote among intelligent beings. But I am rviolvvd to place tho gen tlcmcn those chivalrous Southern gentlemen richten the record.fj Ma ny oi them do sav that the repeal o that time-honored Line (to use tlui own words) was a wrong, an injuiy and an outrage, and that it be restored, ltay mnny of you have aoid to to nie; and Innamuch wa a vary gentleman (rout the South hat been , II I ... !.. . .1 - -I

challenged to give tho natuo ot anylflunkeji are all dead and daoinedl Southern man who hat dared to and if ever another one appeal t to

ked

to do so, come up to the eonfesMonal, or I hüll without hesitation name the gentleman to this Convention. ( Cheera und laughter. At length Hon. Kenneth Hayner, of North Carolina, arose nnd stated thrtt he had ao aid, and took this occasion to say that he considered the repeal of the Missouri Compromise a wrong and an outrage, to which the North ought not to submit, lie said if he had been ft member of Congress, he would have had his arm severed from his body, before he would have con aented to the iniquity. Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, said he had atated that it was wrong and un just to repeal the act; but inasmuch as it was passed, he was opposed to agitation on the subject by re-instating it. . Four or fivo more, at this point, took the floor at once, Ford remarked, pleasantly, "Keep cool, gentlemen: we nregoing to have an interesting class meeting here; but come up to the confessional, one at a timel" Laughter long and loud. I A number of g-mtle men confessed in substance what Gor. Brown did. Mr. Ford proceeded by saying that "an open confession" was "good for the soul;" and he hoped that tho trentleman would learn another truism: That the only way to get rid of guilt was to "repent and sin no more." All v e ask of you, gentlemen, is to do right, remembering what are eternal and unchangeable principles of right, which no circumstance can vary, and which God himself may not disturb. By your confession this day, coupled with your action, you place yourselves in the condition of a thief who, having broken into your house and got possession of your money, you detect and arrest. You eay to him, "you villain! what are you doing here, thus invading my most sacred rights." The thief comes up to the confessional as our friends have done this day, saying, "I have dne this mean thing. I reglet, I deplore it; ltd inasmuch, notwithstanding, nevertheless, as J have aot in tune, let there be no distui banco be tween thee and me. I both fear and dislike notation. Let us just Bettle this dituculty. 1 ou just step out, and let roe keen vonr house and the mon ey, too!' (Loud cheering and laughnr. i This is the ridiculous light in which we view you Southern gentlemen, in Ohio. Here a Mississippian interrupts by saying, "This line was worth nothing of no value to any person. J rord proceeded by s)ing; That is beautiful! you will ttenlour property, and for excuse say, "'tis valueless," Return the stolen eoods, and let the owner fix the value. If it was but an old jak-knife, 'tis not yours. Come up like men and do this great thing. Confess your wrong and do light -always rememleiiug; that to do the right and avoid the wront; is tho irreal end of our beim;. Don't you, geutlemenof the South shrink uwny from this contact with truth; don't, I entreat you, through ' false hood or hypocrisy, meanness, or fraud, nttompt lo hide ourclves from the open eye of lofty honcr. fLonj and continued pnUuse. I let southern gentlemen have said many pretty things about tho Union. We too, are devoted to this Union; first, last, and all the time. And we do not make Slavery a condition precedent to our attachment to this Union, either. Can vou say as much? Thank God! we of the West have higher, holier, and more patriotic motives. We are devoted to this Union, because erelong, by lis perpetuity and advancement, we expect to become an empiro of freedom . vcrvwherel (Cheers.) r.very public demonstration I have attended here, patriotic gentlemen have atterapd to turn into a Union-saving ma chin until I ara sick of the endless prating about tho Union being fully satisfied that they nay Union once, and me an Xegro three times. Laugh ter! This Union, rest nssured, is in no danger. We of Ohio do not intend to go out of the Union, or let anybody else do so. ( Loud cheering.) And if you filibustering South. Carolina gentlemen think of üino ou f the Union, just please take a retrospective view of your past lives, and you will Gnd this is not the first time you have tried to kick out of the traces. And if you make tho trial, it will not be the brst time you are kicked back! Kcmember Old "By the eternal" brought you up standing once, and we of the Central Northern States and Western States have determined to do to when ever necesnary. The gentleman from Virginia asks, if we are so devoted lo the Union at the North, how it comes to pass that wo return such men as Hale, Wilson and Chase to the Senate? I will answer him fully and fairly. It is tt?e South that brought such men into nolice, politically. At the North, the continual ngitalion of the peace of tho Union, for the pu pose of extending Slavery, brings into notice the men at the lWth of giant intellect and moral force. Does he understand? A mote like tho gentleman or in j self, floats very comfortable in tt still and quiet attno-phcre; but it takes the wild tornado to move the imbt'd-led rock. That political tornado haa been rxiard by your determination to extend by fraudulent nnd unconstitutional means, the area of human cattlvdom. Do you underktnnd me, Sir? Yea: we thank . a B lint (iod wc nave sue men as a wnon, a Seward, a Sumner nnd a Chase; men who. knowing the light, have the ncrv" to contend fit il; men of un doubted Intfg ity, and ability, whose patent ofnobilitv comes from heaven und the days of tlunkeyism at the IWlh are numbered. Iho Northern

your vision, rest assured he is illegitimate. We have elected twenty-one Representatives from Ohio, all pledg

ed for the repeal of this Nebraska iniquity; and you will find, when they Arrive there, you will lind, when they arrive, rou will nave an accession ol w m just twenty-one Hales and Wilsons on tutu question, triA not one fiunky among tiem. We in Ohio do not threaten them with political death only -but have resolved that if they do not stand up for the right, in pnposition to the encroachment of the Slave propagandists, we will hang them high as Hamanl Long and continued applause. A gentlemen lrora tne JNorth cries out "Douglas was from the North!" Ford replied So was Benedict Ar nold! The British took the traitor, and we retained the territory. Our Southern brethren have taken the ter ritory, and left us th traitorl They ought to protect if they do despise him! Applause. iNow, JUr. l'resident, wo of Ohio protest against this plank in your plat from as unjust and unrighteous. J he majority of oar delegates are from Virginia, the sons of her toil; and Virginia, in the purer days of her commonwealth, taught us the lessons of liberiy. You will remember by the cession your State made to the Gen eral Government of the north west ri uovernmen. oi me north west rritory, you Virginians expressly ipulated that neither Slavery nor injiuntary servitude should ever exist territory, sti voluntary therein, except for the punishment of crime.

Visit to Greeneastle. Evansvillje, July 24, 1853. I enjoyed tho pleasure of a visit to Greeneastle, during the commencement week. The exercises were all in a high degree interesting. The annua commencement at the Aabury Univer&ity is always an occasion of thrilling interest; but the interest on thisoccesion was greatly enhanced by the inaugeraticn of the new President, Iter. Dr. Curry. A charge to the new President was delivered by Bishop Ames, after which the inaugural address was delivered. From the reputation of the President, as a man of learning and ability, it is needless to tell the people that the address was an ablu one. Dr. C. stands in the front rank of cur literary men, is a strong, vigorous writer; and is sure to make his mark in whatever position he may be placed. Thus far he has made a most favorable impression as president of the University, and with tho able men associated with him, I doubt not that this institution will be conducted to the highest position among the sister colleges of the land No literary institution in the west can boast of a better faculty than this. Indeed, I doubt whether any one will compare with it. Thoso of the faculty have been connected for tome time with the University, and are therefore well known. Prof. Downey, of the chair of mathematics, is beyond doubt one of the best mathematicians west of the mountains, and has bsides a peculiar aptness to teach. Of Professor Tingley, an old professor once remarked, "God made Professor Tingley for ft teacher of Natural Science." The ehair of Greek is filled by Prof. Latimore, an nreeablo gentleman, ft good rcholar and a successful teacher in his department. Oflhe three new professois, Messrs. Bragdon, Nadal and Hibben, everything might be said tbat need be Baid ol men in their position. They, are men of sound and accurate scholarship, corteous gentlemen, and accomplished pulpit orators. Prof. Nadal, who hus charge of the Ball Lettres Depart ment, is an accomplished public speak er, and will do much toward the train ing of the students in this great art a consideration of no small importance. With such a faculty the patrons of the University may look to it with the highest satisfaction, and confidently anticipate) the largest success. Bui I commenced to speak of the exercises during commencement week. The first address I had the pleasure of hearing was delivered by the Hon. Mr. liarlin, of Iowa. It was an able address, but would have been much improved by a little more pains in its preparation. He spoke without man uscript or notes, which was commendable, but still I think he should have had a manuscript at home. Any man is culpable who appears on sueh an occasion to apeak without the most careful preparation. Mr. Harlin's address was an hour nnd a half long; had it been condensed, ao as to have occupied one third less time, it would have, made a much more favorable impression, and would have been more creditable o tho speaker. Still it is proper to bay, the add res waa well received, generally, by the large crowd which assembled to bear it. A most admirable address was delivered on Wednesday evening, by Mr. Tarkington, of Indianapolis, a son of of ltev. Joseph Tarkirton, well known about Brook vi 11c. Idr. T. is a voung lawyer, and for on i of his age is a model speaker. His address was well written, and though he kept his manuscript well before lim, he was very little trammelled by it, and delivered it in a most happy manner. His elocution was very tine, his voice and gestures natural, easy and graceful. Mr. T. bids fair to be an honoto his parents, and one of the bright est ornaments of his Alma M"ter. The first class in the Law Department graduated at the present ression. It was a small but very respectable class. The Professor of Law, Judge Downey, is the man for the place. He is a man of solid attainments, and will no doubt do most excellent service in his department. The Trustees were fortunatein securing his services, and they will do well if they can retain him in the place he is bo honorably filling. This University it now on a firm basis, and haa before it the prospect of a bright career. May nothing ever occur to hinder its progress; but may it stand for agca y.'t to come, to enlighten and bless the world. 9 BAKER. I.IT'TI.1! U I' II. HA "I BTOltYt . A Countryman one day, returning from the city, took homo with him fivo of the finest peaches one could pnasibly desire to 'see, and as his children never beheld the fruit before, they rejoiced over them exceedingly, calling them the fine apple with roay cheeks, and soft plum-like skins, 'lhe father divided them equally among hit four children, and retained one for their mother. In the evening, ere tho children retired to their chamber, the father questioned them by aking, "How did you like your soft, rosy apples?" "Very much indeed, dear lather," Baid the eldest. It is a beautiful fruit so acid and yet to nico and soft to the taste. I have carefully preserved the klone that I might cultivate a tree." "Right, and bravely done," aaid the father; "that ajieaka well for regarding tho future with care, ind is becoming in a young husbandman." "I have eaten mine, nnd thrown tho tone away ," said the youngest, be sides which, mother gave ma half of hers. Unl it tasted so awcit, and bo uu'Uing in my mould." 'Indeed answered tho futher, "thou haat not been prudent, However it wai very natural and childlike, and dispUyi enough wii-

dorn for your'years." "I have picked up the atone," aaid the second eon, "which my brother threw away, crack

ed it, and eaten the kernel it was as sweet aa a nut to the taste but my peach I have sold for much money, and when I go to the city I can buy twelere of them." The parent shook his head reproachingly, snying, "Beware, my boy, of avarice. Prudence is all very well, but such conduct as yours is unchildlikc and unnatural. Heaven guard thee, rey child from the fate of a miser. And you, Kdmond?" asked the father, turning to his third son; he frankly replied, "I have given my peach lo the son of our neighbor the kick George, who had fever. He would not take it, so I left it on the bed and just come away." "Now,' said the father, "who has done the best with his peach? "Brother Edmondl" the three exclaimed aloud; "Brother Edraondl" Edmund was silent, nnd the mother kissed him with tears in her eyes. SAtti Slisctllanj. DENNIS AND THE FEIEST. Good morning, Dennis. Good morning, your reverence. What is this they say of you, Dennis ? I am told you have been to hear the preaching of the soupers. You have been told the truth, your reverence. And how could you dare to go and listen to heretics ? Please your reverence, God is not a heretic ; and it is the word of God, the Bible, that they read. Ay, the Bible explained by a minis ister. No, your reverence, the Bible ex plained by itself ; for when it is allow ed to speak, it explains itself without any assistance from any other quarter; and in the very act of reading it, we allow it to speak. But, after all, the minister preaches: and he insists on your believing what be preaches 7 No, your reverence : the preacher tews us not to Dciicve on ins worn ; but, when we go home, to tako the Bible, and examine whether it contradicts or confirms what he has delivered from the pulpit But don't ytu see that this is a mere sham ; nnd that you, the common people, cannot examine the Holy Scriptures, so as to judge wether they con firm or contradict what the preacher says 7 At that rate, your reverence, St. Luke made fools of the common peo ple ; for the preacher pointed out to us n passage in tho Jliblo which menlions that the Bereans compared the preaching of the Apostle Paul with the Holy Scriptures; and, more than that, St. Luke commends them for do ing so. (Acts 17 : 11.) Admirable, Master Dennis ! you are quite a doctor of divinity. You know as much as a whole synod of bishops. Your decisions will be equal to those of a general council. ro, yonr reverence: I make no f retensions to judge for other persons; ut I tale the liberty of jndging for myself, (tod inspired the JJible : I lead his inspired word, and that is all. But you are not able to understand it. The proof that I can is, that I really understand it. I understand very well an almanac mado by an ordinary man. Why should I not understand the Bible, which has God for its author ? Cannot God express what he means as well as a mere mortal ? Besides, the Bible, speaking of itself, says that it is a light. (I'sal. 119. lO&j Dennis, you are obstinate and conceited. Your reverence, if he is an obstinate man who never changea bis opinion, it is you who are obstinate ; but as for me, I found myself in a bad road, and changed for abetter, that is all. I have never pretended to be in fallible. You are very conceited to think that you know so much more than others. Others are not very humble in thinking that they know more than God ; bat it is to God, and not to my fellowmen, that I hold myself responsible. I must tell you that if you go on reasoning in this way, I shall not admit you to confession. I confess myself. Not to me, at all events. No ; but to God. To God ? Yes ; to God, who declares in the Biblo that 'if we confess our tins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.' Tho church will not marry you. I will get married elscwhare. The church will not bury you. I ah all not trouble myself about my dead body, if I save my soul. You will be excommunicated. No matter, I urn received by God. No prayers will be offered for you. I shall pray for myself. No masses will be Baid for you to release you from purgatory. They would be of no use ; for I reckon on going to paradise. To paradise, do you ? Yes ; to paradise, How do yo't know that ? Why, thus : I read in tho Biblo that the thief when hanging on the cross at the right hand of Jesus, after having confessed his sins to Jcsui Christ, who ia God, said to him, 'Lord remember me 1' 'And Jesus said unto him, 'Verily I say unto thee, Today ahalt thou bo with me in paradise If, then, a penitent malefactor could bo pardoned by believing on Jesus Cariat, I cannot see why, if 1 reJ ent, and trust in the same Saviour, , may not equally obtain salvation ; and the proof that my hope is well founded lies in what I have read in the same bleated book, that 'God bo loved the world, that he gave hit only begotten Bon, that whoiocytr bo-

lieveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting- life. Dat a I make a part of tho world here ppoken of, it follows, that if I believe, I shall be saved.

"But while you are waiting to go to paradise, you must lire in this world; and I tell rou plainly, that you will lose your livelihood by .joining these heretics. No one will have anything to do with you I trust in Him who gives us day by day our daily bread; and if God be for me, what can all those do who arc against me?' You will be a laughing-stock to cr ery body." a. . . . a a a oa Tk And what will that signilyT was not Jesus Christ mocked and set at nought? Everybody will shut their doors against you.' Jesus Christ had not where to lay his head." "You will be called an apostate . "Was not St. Paul the greatest of apostates at his conversion?' Every body will take pleasure in refusing to you a kindness.' "The world persecuted the Master, snd therefore may well persecute his disciplcs;'and the more 1 am persecuted for my faith, the moe I shall feel that I am truly a disciple of Jesus Christ." 'Weill We shall sec how long you will hold out. First of nil, no one will give you any work 'And what next?' No one will admit yon under their roor.' And what next?' No one will have anything todo with you, either in buying or selling. And what next?' No one will receive you into their cVMAti WW"- .J. 'So then the whole world will con spire against me?' Certainly !' 'And who will be at the head of the conspiracy?' 'Who? who? what does that signify.' 'At all events, whoever he may I e, you may tell him that he is not a elms tian; f r Christ commands us to for give offences, while this n an indulges revenge. Jesus commands men to love one another, and this man appears quite disposed to hate me. Should he happen to be a priest, you may tell him that his prototypes were the mem hers of the Sanhedrim who, through haired, condemned Jesus to death. Should he be an Ultramontane, yoi may tell him that I am astonished at nothing done by him and by those wno iQTt-niea mo inquisition. iast ly, should it be yourself, be assured tbat your vengeful spirit is to me the best proof that you are not in the truth. Christ said, 'Forgive and you take vengeance. Christ said, 'Teach all nations,' and you icfuse even to let them read the Bible. Christ said, Freely you have received, freely give (Matt. 10; 8;) aad you sell, not, indeed, tho Gospel, for that you conceal, but sell your mawei, your prayera, your dispensations, your rosaries, your takers, your indulgences, yov.r bap lisrus, your interments; but aa for me, I ran make shift to do without any of your wares, while I apply to the God who gives heaven gratuitously.' Gratuitously!' Yes, gratuitously; and thia il is that vexes you! for when a blessing is bestowed gratuitously the occur rencc of those who sell is not wanted. Yes, gratuitonslyl this one word is ruinous to all your schemes. God gives, and you sell. God pardons, and you punish. God loves, and hate. How can you expect that we kho'd not go to God, or wonder that wo do not go to you? But act towards mo just as you please; 1 have learnt not to fear those .vho can kill the body; but only to fear those who can destroy the soul; in other words, I stand in no awe of you.' 'You are an insolent fellow.' 'I am not; but I have the courage to speak the truth.' You are an insolent fellow:' 'I am not; but I havo the courage to speak the truth.' "You are impious." ' 'I have beeu so, while bending lite Ince before the iraxges of wood and stone; but I have ceased to be bo, since I have believed in the living God. and trusted only in ray Savior 'You are a miserable wretch.' Yes, a miserable sinner; but a penitent nnd humble sinner, I trust, whom God haa pardoned." You will always be a What I Af7be, I do not know, but I know what I vi 11 to be. I wish for the future to live in purity, because it was precisely my aina that crucified my Saviour. I wUh to bo sincere, mat. and charitable, because Jesus has been to good as to give me every thing. Allow me to tell you what kind of a person I am. When persons love me, 1 lovo them in return; when they do me a favor, I wbh to return it twofold; the more generous others aro towards me, tho more grateful I feel. Well; and has not (iod been generous to me more than I have worda to express? He had granted me pardo i, and heaven, and eternity. Thus my h ?art bounds with joy, und I am ready to do all that God requires of me; but what he requires of me is roost delightful. It is to love him, and to love my brethren; to love even you, reverend sir I do not want your love.' I shall not tho less pray for you I do not want your prayers.' See the difference between u, Your reverence. I love you, and you hate me. I offer you my prayers, you rofuse me yours. But Jesus Christ has said, 'By their fruits ye shall know them; do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?' fMatt. 7: 10.) Judge now, reverend sir, 'which of ut, vou or I, is the disciplo of Chris t r Bulwark.
