1840. The Philanthropist is a leading-, and one of the most thoroughgoing Abolition papers of the day. Hut here are the ex 1 mots, I read from a long article headed "the present Adminu~ I rat ion:' 1 -

Mr. Chairman, ir yon can find, in the whole histqry of human depravity, sentiments-invol-ving, in the abstract, more theoretical wickedness, rcpklera.ambition, and amoral debasement, than these sentiments do, you will have to read that history over once more than I have. Hut base as they were, benighted in wickedness as the brain must have been that conceived them, corrupt as the heart was that cherished th$m, and poisoned as the tongue and lips were that gave them birth, the whole Federal pack yelped Amen to them. Out what do you think now, sir! In the face of all these solemn warnings and impressive admonitions, and in the face of all these appeals to heaven to visit this land with all the other combined calamities, either of the anger of God or the folly of man, rather than this people should be ruled executively by a military man, that same Federal party, with that same Henry Clay at their head, are now moving heaven and earth to place the executive Government in the hands of a military man!l Monstrous! and that, too,, on.the open and professed ground of transcendent military services! for no other claims or prtensiena arc urged, 1 will leave comment on such conduct to those who read me, with these simple . Inquiries. At the time of which 1 am speaking, werfe you sincere when you were warning the Democracy, in long groans, deep sighs, and with, tears in your eyes, of the fatal consequences that would result frotp placing the Executive Department, of this Government in the hands of a military captain! If you .were sincere, you are now practising a base fraud upon the American people, and ' voluntarily and. wilfully endangering the civil and political institutions of your country by attempting to give a tnllitary the control of the Government.

Stop and Think.

What can bo more important in this harrying bustling world, than to “stop and think.” “I did not think—1 did not. think,” is the bft-re pealed excuse ,we all offer for our follies, ’Tis not Worn deliberate purpose that wo go wrong, still less is it from lack of knowledge. No, ’tis want of thought. What advice then, can bo more appropriate—what caution more necessary, than that convoyed in the pithy apophthegm. "Stopand Think” j When 1 'see. the young votary of fashion wasting the energies of mind and body in tlic chase of pleasure; I Jong to whisper in her ear, “Stop and think.” If yon would but slop and think, you would pot need tlpt any one would tell yon —“Pleasure is not rmis to be fouod; health will be lost; Happiness Will be lost; Life itself will bo lost; ere pleasure is thus found.” Your search, however, will not bdfmitlessjcare will be found; [sorrow and late repentance; envyings and petty jealousies; strife and vexation of spirit—Yes, they will be found at every step in Folly’s road career. So of the man of pleasure; think yon bo knows not lhai wine fevers the blood, end gambling maddens the brajnl .That excess debilitates thp Bbdy and excitement wears out the mind} -'Oh, ho koows.it well; but alas, so rapidly is hohurried. along, that ho.caonot, or ho will not, “Stop and think.” •[•'}' -

“The present Administration, it*is generally conceded, is essentially Southern in its principles and policy: it is distinguished by its devolion to the foreign and domestic interests of slavery perhaps more than by any other feature. The protection of slatfc laboreeem to be its controlling principle. True, the freemen of the North and West number more than' twice as many as those of.the South, but they are.supposed to have no peculiar interests, or the protection of free labor is a minor consideration. 1 he aristocrats of (ha South give law to the Government, and Mr. Van Buren is their vassal Executive. *

POLITICAL.

SPEECH OF MR. DUNCAN,

OP OHIO,

/‘Another, view of the subject wc would present, Should the Van Burcn party, after haring rested it€ hopes of success to a on its anti-Abolition warfare, be would be the best thing that could happen for thbm, as. well as the free States. ' From that motncntSlm party would-find it conveniennto cut loose from 1 the South. The conviction woVld arise that it bad been leaning on ft broken reed, and that' there was a .power at home which it was.’of more consequence to conciliate thsmjhe slavi - holding interest. Ifis the vocation of.Xbolitioi • ists to emancipate partly from- thraldom to Hub interest. This they can do by creating such’ i mass of anti-slavery sentiment in the free State/, and so directing it that it shall at once crush Use politician who mayveniure in a single particular to pander to the wishes of the slaveholder.” / r Comment on these extracts is unnecessary: but I cannot leave them without notice. r* So far cs the Administration and the Democracy of the free States are charged with undue Southern in flu eflee and vartalage, it is areqkless ‘ falsehood and a broad slander, worthy of] a demagogue and a LIAR steeped in moral depravity and political corruption. - I The Administration and the Democracy ofihe North are as much .devoted to LffTtaose-aLpnil-anthropy, universal.emancipation, and the happiness of the human family, a* tho modern Abolition Whig party. But,the .Administration and the democracy^!’the free Sjqtes arc devoted, too, to the 1 perpetuity of thieTJmon, the peace and order.bfsociety, the proservaltonof the Constitution, and the maihte lance of the sovereignty 'and independence of th i States, and'lhe peaceful 1 enjoyment of the r domestic' institutions, whichiyero guaranteed.uo them at the formation of tho Federal Government, and .the guarantee of which security consumed a principle condition upon which the Federal Union was formed. Sir,'we have h’ad some fio'e disquisitions in the President making speechWhere,:on the transcendent .military, services of the Federal candidate for tho Presidency/ It is hot my purpose, for one moment, to throw the slightest shade over any fame that General Harrison may bat's acquired in the last war; but it must astound every rational and consistent man in the Union, that the-Federal Whigs should se(ect a military man as a candidate tor the Presidency.' Sir, indulge me a short tiipe, while I show some of the inconsistency of this Self-styled consistent and decency party. What did the Federal parly say of the last war, and of military menl Hear them. ..I read from the Olive Branch:

Mr. Clay, in his letter to Id Judge,Brooke,.dated Washington, January 23, is, 1825, says: ; m ‘‘As a friend of liberty, and to the permanence ah of our institutions, 1 cannot consent, in this it early stage of their existence, by contributing to \\J tho election of a military chieftain, to give the I* strongest guarantee: that this Republic will - march in* the fatal road which has conducted • every other Republic to ruin." J i ; [jVo/, Intelligencer, Feb. 12.1825. i This was strong language, and fearful and , solemn admonition, . It was thought, however, ie by some, that this warning was urged with more ir outward than toward zeal, to secure him against the indignation of thd Republican party and the r; suspicions of the Federal patty, in his somerset from tho former to'ihe'latter. But he continued ;- bis warnings in deep sighs of prophecy and Jere,e miah lamentations. Hear what he says in 1829, t- at a public dinner: , a “1 deprecated it (Gen.: Jackson’s election} 9- stilt more', because bis elevation I believe would be the result, exclusively, of admiration and ie gratitude for militar/'service, without regard la 1- indispensable civil qualifications.

From 1825 up iia to 1838, his‘solemn admonitions to man, and ry his sincere prayers to God, were, that our coun-' id try had better be blighted and withered into fas', mine, desolated with pestilence, and drenpbed jo in bipod, than that a military man (General Jack; 4, son) should be President, and m 1838 said virtuin ally, that rather than this Government should it- collect, keep safe, and disburse itsown revenue, r y in tho management of Its own fiscal operations, ie or rather than the banks should cease to rule the ie Government, the country end the people,he’prebj furred that thb country should be desolated with b- war, pestilence, of-TammS'.'Is this the ravings it of madness, or the roadhees of raving!

'question, and as Gen. Harrison will not'answer, .and as his conscience keeping committee arc prevented by rule.and the precedent of (he contention, I will ask to read an extract from a letter which will give us some light on the subject. .Here is the letter:. - . “TO THE PUBLIC.

But if you are now sincere in pushing the claims.ol' General ■ Harrison, on the ground of gratitude for his military services, and you be* lieve the Government will be safe in the hands of & military chicftian, you were /Acn practising abase fraud upon the American people, and your whole effort to prevent the election of Genetal Jackson was the result of deception, fraud and demagogisin. How will you reconcile your conflicting conduct with an.intelligent, honest, patriotic, and candid people? ; Will you attempt an explanation of your conduct, or wiU you rest your demagogisms, as you always have done, on what you believe to be tbo thoughtless stupidity and ignorance of what you call the "common prop/e.” But Twill proceed to examine what the mill* tary claims of General Harrison are; and.let me remind you that ills not my purpose to throw the slightest .shade over the military- reputation of Gdheral Harrison, or pluck a.(oaf from the wreath which his success in'the held may have secured to him. But when General Harrison’s mitf/dry services are .presented aa claims upon the* suffrages of the. American people; for the highest civil' office in their gift, it becomes,the right and duty of every citizen to examine and inquire into the character, quality, and extent of those services now set up as a claim/. It is now, in the federal sheet, and by the party orators; proclaimed with end published in capitals, that General Harrison’s military careeraod military services never'were assailed until after he was presented as a candidate for President. /Well, sir, this is very creditable to' him, and a proud boast for him and his party if truc;bpt how frail are all hitman calculations and hoaalsl Just indulge me while 1 blow*up this political air castle; this paper balloon, inflated with wordy gas, on which General Harrison is to ride to the Presidency. • ’ ‘ .

I stood beside her death-bed; all was still, hat the quick- panting breathings of the dying girl, and the low, deep, ill-repressed sobs that burst at intervals from the 'mother’* breaking heart.’ After a long.pause, I heard her faintly murmur, “Tia dark.”—Alas, my sister!‘thought I, can it be—can it be that this, hour is dark! “Hath bis promise failedV -Is his mercy clean gone for evert*’ The uncertainly, the horror, of such an idea was too much for me; I bent forward and whispered,!“Is your mind dark! Eliza 1 '* .Oh, bow grateful) how-cheering to my distrustful spirit was’tlio reply “No, po, 1 see my‘ way clear before ms.” She raised her head, as if to point out the bright path she was so soon to tread; and then I knew that the. datkness of which she had spoken was only ihe failing of the body’s eye, and that there was no shade of gloom upon the spirit’s vision.' The outstretched arm fell; I heard a longer and a softer sigh. “Eliza, my love!” ! spoke; but'she who should have heard was listnlng to the anthem* of the bleat. I stood beside her grave;.a little group of sorrowing friends were in the midst our excellent pastor. He had just begun the solemn service for the dead, $vhen, far in the distance, a strain of martial music jrose; it drew near; it was a military iuricral, For a'moment my eye wandered from the sceheiminediatcly, before me to. where the pom p of war decked the last march of the brave.” With arms reversed, with slow apd solemn step and downcast eyes, the soldiers come; rank after rank passes forward; then comes the war-horse.with his trappings; the coffin next, the bat arid the sword upon it. How strangely all this, contrasted with the white scarfs ami gloves that marked thetnaiden’s fdheral! They passed fay,,and my attention was again recalled to the solemn service of the church; but just as the lost rite.was paid,'the last prayer uttered, arid ;we'Were turnipg away, from the tomb, a roar of distant musketry told that the soldier, too'Was at' rest,-—This was one of lhe lessons of the stern teacher, who bade me “Stop and think.”

• Whether the Sen at o'.was right'or,'wrong in this signal,’ lasting or withering rebuke of‘‘General Harmon's mililarrcharacter never was,assailed until he wai presented as candid ate for Pc&ident.

The Senate-is the highest, most responsible, and most honorable tribunal in the American Government. Its members are composed of those who are selected for their wisdbtn and integrity, and their patriotism. It is the province and the duty of the United States Senate to award honor and thanks to whom honor and thanks are due, but this was the honor and thanks which were meted to General Harrison, at a time when the sheet of the war history had hardly dried, and when the echo of the song of praise had not died on the distant hills, 1 believe the Senate done wrong in witholding the vote of thanks, and the medal proposed in the resolution, and so the Senate subsequently thought! for a vote of thanks and atnedal were awarded. “But deny mehonor, rather than praise me faintly. ’ Such wa4 the praise the Senate bestowed on General Hainaon. .

Sir, I could read an hour from this collection of Federal sayings and but I will not detain the committee; but, bo it remembered, that at the time of these denunciations, the c’ouds of war bung the heaviest, the work of plunder, burning, and death., beset our whole sebborad, and our frontier was exposed to the savage rifle, the scalping knife and tomahawk, and the torch of the Indian—the Government was oppressed and borne down witlrpecuniary embarrassment —every institution of the Government was sinking, and every prospect withering, from the/ same cause, but what do wo find now, eiff Tho same FederdI parly sustaining a military man for the first office in their gift; for the Presidency of tha'United States; ami predicating his claims upon bis military services in that very war which.they go violently denounced, and upon which they invoked, from'the sacred altar, the vengeance of God. but that was a long time what did the Federalists soy in 1824, when the democracy sustained Gen. Jackson for tho Presidency! Why,sir, it will bo remembered by every person who hears me, that every political Journal in the country .teemed with the most solemn admonitions against -placing the Government in.the hands of » military etjiefuio; and even referred to the subversion aod downfall, of ovdry Republic whieh-had gone before as

.conscience, and the sacred ties of religion, are

-alike their victims of sacrifice. And I now pre--diet, wtili more confidence than Daniel predicted the.destruction ofBabylon, that -all the factions opposed to the cause of Democracy, all the princes of factions, the Governors and captains, .the judges, the counsellors, the treasurers, and .the iherjfia of factions, will be gathered together .at Ura to worship- Nebuchadnezzar’s golden .image and the Jew will desert his God and the .religion of Israel, and the Pagan will desert his lidpl* and abandon the sacred mysteries of his iiample, and will fall prostrate before the image jit the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbnt, dulcimer, timbrel, jewaharp, banjo, and tambatins. Yes, sir, at the nod'of Federahsm, ill other isms must fall prostrate. But it -prill pat nil do. Babylon must sink in -wickedness, polutioa, and idolatry.
