nmoha or fin rtrationa if von fiorfMs for n nnrpose of that kind, rllow me to say to yon in can dor, as one interested in the manner in which this duty is to be discharged, that you had have better Biaid at home. If you have an honorable calling in the wot Id, or honest occupation in life, you coulJ have endeavored to attend to it to-day, in stead of coining to bear me. Yoa have he.ird. in the dowing Wuage of my friend, in the ardor and sincerity of his own spirit, that big roll of offence God knows it was a melancholy catalogue of crime which he has exhibited ogainst the people of the State of Ohio, (laughter) and the United States, for whenever any public man in speaking of the affairs of your republic, shall be able in truth and candor, to pronounce the officers of the Government un worthy the trust reposed in th9m; to have violated their pledges, if it be so, or the duties of the various posts t: which they have been assigned ; if ever any man, at home or abroad in the old wcrid, can say that of your public men, with truth, then he has pronounced a condemnation upon the whole svstem of the American Republic, for he h as Said that men entrusted with the duty of appointing officers do not know how to go about the discharge of their duty, or do not care in what manner they do discharge it. If there be any man whose heart is pained when he hears these things said, with shame and anguish, as my friend says if there be aay man who feels this, I hold it is impossible, in the nature of things, that he will not doubt the propriety of giving universal suffrage to any people. Now some of my Democratic brethen will go away and say that I am a Fek'rali?t, on account of that I have said to-day, but I have felt it my duty to say this much everywhere. I have no doubt of the intelligence of the people ; I have no doubt of the general integrity and of the honesty, perhaps, of the hearts of tho mass of all the parties that ever existed in this Republic, but I assert that I have doubts whether the people of this country are worthy of being entrusted with the power of electing their officers, as they do now, in this country. Why do I say this T liecause if you will believe what is said by either of the prevailing parties, for the past thirty ' years, at any time, the public men that you have had jn office, have been unworthy of the places which they filled. Whose fault is it that you State of O .to is inflicted with a heavy debt of $750,000 money wrung from the pockets of the people, by direct taxation; it is gone and you kuow not where it ia ? It is your fault. You elected the men to office. L.'t me suppose that some monarch by the form of government under which e live, at v ashing ton City, was invested with the power of appointing und elevating the agt nts of Sta'ej to office, to do as he pleased with the government of the States, aud that monarch apptinted servants as unfaithful to their duties as yonis have been. What would you do with him ? My life upon it if there was one drop of th? blood that coursed . in the veins of your forefathers left alive in your j hearts, there would be found some patriotic man J to drive tho dagger to the heart of that despot. j What then is to be done with you, who vote and i elect all these men ? I believe it is now generally conceded everywhere, that the present Obief Magistrate has lamentably disappointed even the men that elected him. He has cot disappinted those opposed to him, for they predicted that everything would go wrong under his administration. I here is scarcely a man to be found over the land, who is an aspirant for office, that dare avow himself a friend of the President. He can't get any votes from his own party. How ca ne you to elect sich a man as that f Had you no sense ard sagacity enough to kuow a man who3e life had been before you on your public records for thirty or forty years ; Were you so ineffably stupid, that you did not investigate that man's life, to know him before you appointed him to that high office ? You could have done it, bat you d.d not do it. The great office of electicg President and Gjverernor and LegisI tturer, S'ate and Federal, the great office which you bold you sadly nezlect, I have said already, aad will venture to affirm, and I will appeal to yonr own experience, whether the office of President has not bee i discharged with less fi ielity than any public officer has over exhibited after yoa elected him. The reason of t was not that yja were not intel'igent, the rea son was not that yoa were bad men, bat because every man had the same interest aud power that you had, aad that you ha- e said, ' Let somebody else do it. You fay, 'I will nit interest myself in this, or I will bs called a politician, the brethren of my church will not like it, why should I disturb myseif about this thing. I have my own affairs to attend to, and I will attend to them, and ..a f.w . Vi 1 j hnilnnal 1 f rptmliitmi, t i n fVl ' rj rf the reoublic. I will leave that to those fellows that want office.' That is how you think about 1

it, that is how you have acted with it. If you had ypp"""" oiaies, and oy me iv?puonot acted ia that way , I tell yoa that none of ' l,"as ln 'he F ree i3tate. - to tbe proper system these calamities which yoa have now to deplore of government id this country. Well, Mr Ciay would have occurred; none of these great instan- proposed to the coantry to continue the Whig ces of blundering would have happened.

if yoa had done so, men l thiols it must follow, as a legitimate conclusion, that you dont know how.

What have you been doing now, to go no further back than the last few years sixteen or seventeen ? All of you of mature age, remember the year 1840 very well. What did all the people of the United States do then ? They ross up, and with mingled fceliDgs of merriment and indignation, for it was difB.-uit to te'l which prevailed that year, the events of ths administration of Gen. Yau Bareu had been so singularly out of the way, nowise conformable to anybody's notion of things, it was difficult to say whether it was looked at with indignation, contempt or merriment; every one of his officers was running away with the people's money you know how we used to twist his long legged measure?, flau"hter) and three-quarters of the people started np and declared, we will have no more Democratic gov ernment ; we will have V hisr eovernment. '1 he principles upon which these two parties were contending, the i, for your suffrages, were diametrically opposed ; upon due deliberation a-id solvniD consideration, (for I do hope you sometimes consider these things it was determined by an unexampled majority of the country, that henceforth, Whigs and their principles should be the rule of conduct in the United States It was so ! Your decree when you make it, is always omnipotent. Four years pass away, they go by, and what i happens then? You have again to appoint a j President ot this great joint stock company of j ours. The people have two men presented to teem. One has been alluded to by my friend Mr DenisoL Mr. Clay, of Kentucky a man who has been spoken of so much, that it would be idle to ' attempt to employ teni:s adequate to express the ; feelings with which one who knew him as well as 1 i d:d, regarlei the great loss we have sustained by his death; a man of whom the nation was proud; a man who had a lviropean reputation, who was regarded as the great champion of reg- ' ulated liberty, by men of intelligence over the ; world, lo addition to this he had endowments, ! which it had pleased God very rarely to give to ' mortal man an integrity as pure as the highest mtegr.ty of the highest and best of the a cient people who have descended to us a3 demi gods Nobody questioned this in thj election at all. It ! was named aad repeated every hour. He did not like the annexation of Texas to the United States, not because he had any personal objection to acy accumulation of Slave States in the couutrv, but because he believed it would disturb the harmony of the Republic as it then existed. The harm ny and prosperity of this laud were to bi n the i lots of his heart. Another uiaa was also presented to the American people a very ordinary man. (I ' wish to speak of him iu no terms of disparagement.) Yoa all know something of Mr. Polk. ; He never pretended to be the equal of Mr. Clay, j Mr. Ciay differed whh him on this subject.

Continued laughter TUB POWEH OF CONORES". The opposition to the Administration oa the other side of tbe river, have btcn chiefly concern ed in a dispute as to w hat shall be done with the Slave proi ertv in the South. Yoa have heatd Territory where Slavery does not already exirfT. My own impression is that that ought to be done. That is my belief about it. I am not so very particular about this, as a mere matter of doctrine, because I think that there will be much more important duties for os to perform when we get to Congress, than to dispute about this abstract proposition. Slavery exists, as you know, in certain portions of the Uoited S ates. Tho only Territories that can ever be subject to Slavery, are those of Utah, Xew Mex;. ico and Washington; that is, all we have got left. Kansas has settled the question for herself, after fighting a pretty hard baitle, under this beautiful doctrine of "Squatter Sovereignty." EQUATTKR SOVF.REION'TT. Did any m n ever rev! tbe Constitution of the United .States and find that phrase ia it Squatter Sovereignty ? Yet it is said that it is a constitutional doctrine put in there. Now do you sup pose that il toe mea wno made tbe Constitution whea they enacted that clause, "Congress shall havo power to make all needful rules and regulations for the government of the Teiritories," would not have just added that every Territory should have bad '-Squatter Sovereignty." Don't you think that tbey would, my brother Democrats, you that have adopted this new doctrine? This is a new doctrine. It is only eleven years old. Xo man ever heard of it more than eleven or twelve years ago since 1847. It was there when it was done. It was in the council of the nation when it was first started. Yoa perceive, my fellow citizens, that there is a uisvory oeiongiog io iq quesuoo, just tne Bame J . : . ' . J as there is a history belonging to the Christian Church. What does every propagator of Christiai tv do wh n there is a dispute about a text? If he can find out that St Paul, Matthew or any of the apostles or discip'es ol Christ hal that subject uit'er con-ideration, and gave an ioterpretalioo to it by their conduct or words, he does not dispute about tbe philological criticism that could be inada on the word We lave too mach sense, if cot too much conscience for that; for all men are understood in the snss in which they use a woid themselves. A man may use a word in common use, to mean very different from what the lexicon may give its meaning. So tbe men that made the Coastiutioa said that "Congress shall have power to make all needful rules and regulations for tbe government of the I erntories. These men were not common men. Tbey knew that in every instrument ia the world, men nsed words appropriate to tbe sense intended to be conveyed, and that they mast nse those words appropriate to the sense they would convey. If you were writing about a fracture, and understood what a fracture was, you would use the words of the books treating on fractores; but au unlearned man by the same words, might mean a very dif:rent tmn?' 1 were not oniy wise men. i - . , -V th Constitution into words, was probably one of lne most learnea men inat ever uvea unaer inis government I refer to Gov.

las i'emocrais una a it is. j. nave Decn trjiuoto find out from my fellow citizens of the Democratic creed, what they mean by "Squatter Sovereignty." Now in the year 1803 you know we acquired the Territory of Louisiana from 1 ranee; at that time blarery was in it as one of its domestic institutions. - I say they had a right by the terms or tbe treaty under which we acquired it. to come into the Union with Slavery, for Napoleon, the first consul, would not sign the treaty unless that was in it. Slavery being in Louisiana, Congress thought by the terms of the treaty, that'they had no risrht to expel it. The treaty was the j supreme law of the lnd; the faith to the natiou required that it should come in, but in t the meantime they were a Territory. Now, ! you will observe that by the Censtitutiou.the j Slave Trade was allowed to go on for twenty j years within a State, but in 1S04. getting hold ot tnis a emtory peculiarly interested in the importation of negroes. Congress believing that Slavery ought not to bo extended, passed a law prohibiting the importation of slaves into the Territory of Louisiana. Many men were in Congress that year that helped to make the Constitution. What they understood by Congress making rules and regulations for this Territory, was that Congress should make laws. They understood "that, and practiced upon it, and prohibited Louisiana from importing slaves. They did not say to the territory of Louisiana, you have "Squatter Sovereignty," do as you please; did they? Such a thing never was thought of. There was not even a demagogue wild enough to utter such a thing. The old men that made that Constitution were there, and they knew they were present to confront them. They enacted a law, saying that any man who took a negro into that Territory for sale, shall pay a fine of three hundred dollars, which was then about the value of anegro. They did not do that in a State ; they did not pretend to do it; but they had omnipotent power over the Territories as if they , were m a legislative capacity, malting laws lor a btate in the State. MONROE AND ntS TIMES. That they did tn 1303-4-5. They had also some experience at a little later date. This same territory of Louisiana forms a State and calls it Missouri. Their southern line was described by saying it should be on 36 deg., 30 min., that ii was the southern line of tho State of Missouri, a part of the Louisiana ?urchase. This was about the year 1820. ou know who was then President It was during one of those halcyon periods of our country to which all of us so much love to refer; we had gone through the second 'war with Great Britain, and although not always triumphant, we had vindicated our right to demaodof Great Britain that she should not impress our seamen and compel them to serve in her navy. We made peace upon honorable terms at last. M Madison had retired from the Presidential Chair and it was filled by Mr. Monroe. Missouri was told by vote of Congress that she must take bcr constitution back and expunge from it the article concerning slavery. The country was then in a great state of agitation. It was then held that Congress might or might not admit a State as she pleased. I know that she has power to declare war against the urholo humn race to-morrow. 1 know that 6he has power to refuse any State she might have refused admission to Ohio in 1803, but the ; question is whether il is her duty or right to 1 do so. I say a Stale has a right when the forms a Constitution for her internal govern- : ment to make it after her own wishes. That is not a matter of much account now because the question wll never arise.

In 1S21, therefore, Miisouri came back, and said, we will not expunge that article, and we demand admission npon our Constitution, because it was in the treaty that we should be admitted npon an equality with the other States of the Union, and the Constitution says a treaty shall be the Supreme t law of the land. lean show you that old I John Quincy Adams held to the truth of this, snppo that my friends who are very much iveBrto freesoilisai who are strong aboilf- - , -,. , , , , . - will not deny that old Mr. Adams WM "some pumpauns in iu way. ma-i ce : n-7 .7 " - , - ' . . , ? . 1 .' j and if angry opposition could have moved ! the understanding of the old man. ha mip-bt i have changed many an opinion upon that subject, bat when Arkansas cam to be ad mitted, that very man. sitting try tbe side of me, rose up at four o'clock ia the morning. .

The treaty gives them tbe right o come in with or without Slavery, and be oted for the admission of Arkansas, as I did aa the Quakers aay ia their discipline, "I lid it by convincemeat." although I don't approve of Slavery in any country where a .rhiteman can live.
