All wants supplied by advertising la the Jol RNAL A Speech by the Hon. Henry B. Stanton. The following speech was delivered by the Hon. Henry B. Stanton, in Brooklyn, on the 4th of July: Mr. Pkesidest and FELLow-CtrizuNS : I hare not come to deliver you an old-fashioned " Fourth of July 3;ati jn." Anathemas of Great Britain and tuloiums of our selves, concerning the Revolution of 1776, are out of date. We are in the midst of the revolution of 1862. I shall examine current events rather than ancient history shall deal with the present living instead of the dead past and igDortog the existence of George III., Lord Nonh Gen. Burgoyne, and their coteroporartes, shall pay my respects to Jtff Dsvis, Robert Toombs, Geneeral Keaurtgard, and their compeers. Ap plause. My theme will be, "The Keason and tne Remedy, the Cause and the Cure, of the present Keoeiiion. w ltnout preiace or apology, I shall proceed straightforward to the consideration of my subject. Mr. President, the present Rebellion is the natural offspring of a policy, almost coeval with the Repub lic, whoso chief aim has been to enlarge the area, increase the power, and thereby prolong the existence of negro Siavcry upon the North Ameriean Continent. 0".r Revolutionary Fathers erred in permitting this system to retain a foothold under the Consiitutioa. Iu accordance with its restless, arrogant spirit it early clamored for new fields to ravage. It eel its greedy eye upon adjacent territories. Louisiana was purchased to appease its cravings. At later pe riods Florida and Texas were acquired lor the like purpose, and devoted to the same end. In tkis connection, I may call your attention to the significant fact, that not only whenever a controversy has arisen with any loreiirn nation concerning Boun daries, we have always and at any hazard maintained our extremes', pretensions it tne disputed soil were Southern and slave, while, if it ware Northern and free, we have abandoned it at the very first show of resistance. In proof, I cite, on the one hand, our courageous word3 but cowardly deeds in the North-Eastern boundary and Oregon joint-occupation controversies, and on the otuer, our cenaict who opsin concerning Florida, and the blood we shed in enforcing our title to the narrow strip of land between the Nueces and the Rio Grande. Whal, Mr. Presideut, ha3 caused this tenacity of will when slave soil has been at stake, and this laxity of progress when free soil has been put to hazard ? Nothing but the vigilance, the ambition, and the arrogance of the Slavery Propagandists of this country. And, sir, this Negro Oligarchy have exhibited the same dominating spirit in the organization and management of the political parties of the Union. Not to refer to earlier period the tyranny exercised by the Slave Power over national politics since the Missouri controversy in 1819-20, is hardly equaled by that of any serfdom on earth. At the South parlies have vied with each other in devotion to this inexorable demon At the North i. hts raised up a body of servitors, Bupple, craven, and greedy, first called Doughfaces, then Hunkers,

and now Conservatives, loud applause, who have seemed proud, in consideration of provent and pelf, to toil in subordinate stations around its altars. By the combination of these forses the Negro Propaganda long ruled the politics of both sections or' the Union, securing to slaveholders a large preponderance of ibe chief offices of the Federal Government, hedging the institution around with honors and emoluments, and making its service attractive to the mercenary and the ambitious. But, fellow-citizens, something even more potent than this reaching after new territories, and clutching at political honors, has precipitated the country into this rebellion, this levolution as it may properly be called The extraordinary claims which slavery, during the last thirty years, lias been gradually setting np and insidiously enforcing to new rights and privileges has more than all else disclosed its lust for universal dominion, first impelling it to put forth pretensions which it could not maintain by the ballot-box within tbe Union, and which it subseqaeotly resolved to defend on the baule-field beyoad the Utiioni In the dawn of the Republic, property in slaves was regarded as a transient system, local and exceptional in its -character,- and having no rights outside of the municipality whose laws created it. The power of Congress to prohibit its existence in the Territories of the Union was deemed indis putable. These principles were accepted as unquestionable, nil the period ef tbe Missouri controversy. Slavery then shadowed forth in faint outline, the startling assumptions which have since become the accepted creed of large and influential parties. After that extraoidinary mao, John C. Calhoun, became the, high priest and dominating genius of the; Slavery Propagandists, his discipUs, by stealthy steps, advanced from position to position, till, first mooting, then questioning, and finally denying, the oldfashioned principles respecting tbe transient and local character of slavery, and the power of Congress over it, they substituted instead the novel and dangerons doctrines that slavery was a natural condition of human society, resting on a basis anterior to government and superior to law, and that so far from Congress and the Federal authorities having power to inhibit if, it was their duty to establish and protect it whereever our ensign was unfurled. In a word, tbey claimed that slavery was not a local, temporary institution, but a permanent national institution, entitled to protection from Ihe government and homage from the people, wherever it erected its throne. These new doctrines bore natural fruit in the repudiation of tbe Wilmot Proviso, in tbe repeal of the- Missouri Compromise, in the passage of the Nebraska Bill, in the raids upon Kansas, in tbe Lecompton conspiracy, and in the politico-juridical pronunciameuto known as the Dred Scott decision. That's so. By the persistent inculcation of Iheso doctrinal pretensions, the Southern mind was prepared for tbe rebellion in which we are now involved. Now, fellow-citizens, let ns trace the practical steps by which the South was brought to tbe brink of the precipice, and finally induced to plunge into the gulf of Secession. Throughout tbe different stages of ibis doctrinal controversy, the slavery propagandists inculcated upon their disciples tbe most bigoted sectionalism. . The alternative prer--" fhprp tn tha free filolao . I . ways been, u Yield to our pretensions and submit to our rule, or accept a dissolution ot tbe Union I" En v ions of tbe growth and prosperity of the North, and unwilling to assign them to tbe true cause free labor and ashamed of their own stagnation and decay, and unwilling to trace them to their obvious source free labor the slavery propagandists have cultivated toward the free Sutes the most intense jealousy and hatred. And long ago ihey resolved that so soon as they became unable to rule within the Union they would dissolve a political partnership which was galling to their pride, and a reetraint upon tbeir ambition. In pursuance of this policy, they have from time to time raised tbe bj political cry of " Northern aggressions," and have repeatedly been appeased by " compromises," in which slavery was always the gainer, and freedom the loser. At length tbe exactions which the South made upon its Northern servitors became intolerable. One of its most zealous advocalea declined to pluck tbe bitter fruit of the tree of bis own pluntiog. Douglas refuswd to sustain tbe Lecompton iniquity, and turned bis back upon the propagandists. Cheers. From that hour tbeir doom was occreed their fate sealed. The Presidential election of 1860 was approaching. Tbe conspirators below tbe Potomac and the Ohio, taking warning at the defection of Stephen A. Douglas, resolved to make the result of that election the occasion, in the language of Mr. Yaneey, f'r ' precipitating the Cotton States into a revolution." Douglas, the strongest man in the Democratic party, was sacrificed in tbe Charleston Convention Thai's a fact two candidates in opposition to Liocolu placed in the field, bis election thus made sure, and the pretext for the rebellion thereby secured. As soon as it was known tbat be had carried the country, and before hia policy could be anticipated, and four months in advance of his ascension to power, South Carolina, long tbe heart and borne of the great conspiracy, passed an ordinance of Secession, and plunged into the vortex of rebellion and revolution. Other States promptly followed her mad example. Startling events trampled on the heels of one another, nntil, in due course of time, Sumter fell, and the whole country was launched upon tbe sanguinary waves oi' a wide, desolating war. Such, Mr. President, is a rapid, skeletonsketch of the chief causes of a Rebellion which has initiated war on a scale so broad that blood-stained Europe stands aghast at its vast proportions. The strife has all the ordinary characteristics ot a conflict between independent nations. But it has features peculiar to itself. It is a rebellion against lawful, just, and benignant authority an attempt to overthrow civil institu tions long tbe wonder and admiration of tbe wise and the liberal throughout the world. It ia a civil war a Sectional war a war of principles, cf ideas, of races a conflict of Freedom with Slavery a struggle for supremacy between tbe improvements and refinements of modern civilization, and tbe effete doctrines and barbarous practices of the dark ages. Cheees. Such, Mr. President, are the prime causes and essential characteristics of tbe Rebel lion. We are now prepared to inquire, What is its cure, its remedy ? I shall answer tbis question in all plainness and sincerity. In the course of my remarks I have called tho present convulsion a Revoluiion. Startle not at the word. Deny not tbe as

sertion. A philosopher has said, a nation may be in tbe throes of a revolution and not know it It was long ere tbe masses of the French people, would admit that the earthquake that toppled down the throne of Louis XVI. was a revolution. They regarded it as a mere Struggle for supremacy between the noblesss and the tiers etat. So, some of our American rulers seem hardly yet to have escaped from the delusion that the present contest is a strife between ihe Federal Government and the Confederates I coucerning the possession of certain forts, arsenals, mints, custom-houses, and other public property. ' A clear comprehension aod frank admission of tbe fact tbat the j crisis through which we nre passing is not j only a Rebellion but a Revolution, and is ' destined to be one of the most radical of I modern times, will go far toward preparing i us to apply proper remedies to the disorders that fcftiict the country. What, then, are

j the remedies for these convulsions 7 In my judgment, tbey must be radical in tbeir na ture, and be applied by a sagacious, fearlesk band. I will name Iht ni. They are sub-, jugatioo, Confiscation, Expurgation, aod Emigration. " Tremendous cheers." To explain aad vindicate these in their order shall be my purpose. First: Subjugation. This Rebellion, JMr. President, was begun on .hypocritical preiexis, is waged under false pretences, and is utterly causeless aud wanton. It is a resistance to righteous authority, and aims to subvert the best Government tbe sun ever6aw. To crush the Rebels and subjugate to its authority every Slate aBd city, harbor aud river in arms against it, is the bounden duty of the Government. It must adapt means to ends. The traitors wnon? it would conquer combine in their characters, tbeir principles, their purposes, all the crimes and infamies that have made the names of Nero and Catiline, of Fawkea and Arnold, of Murat and Robespierre, the synonyms of treachery, conspiracy, meanness, cruelty in all parts of the civilized world. It is over communities swayed by such men that tbe Government must re-establish its power. -Thanks to the firmness of the President, he was not driven from his purpose at tbe outbreak of tbe rebellion by the cry of " coercion." Let him not be deterred now by the kindred wail of " subjugatiou." App!au?e Rather let him put his foot on the neik of the monster wherever it rears its snaky crest, and crush out its life. Let him bold by tbe rel arm of military power all that he conquers until the authority of the National Govroment is acknowledged in every hamlet of the South, not by lipeervice only, but is welcomed by loyal and sincere hearts. Second y: Confiscation. Fellow-citizens, tbe North is lavishing ita money, taxing i s property beyond all precedent, and loading itself with un appalling debt, to inbdue tbis rebellion. It is but equitable that tbe property of the authors of this miseiy should be made to contribute to allay the storm the? have aroused, to extinguish the fire they have kindled. Having compelled tbe Government to seize loyal property in order to avert tbe consequences of their crimes, surely tbe law ot retribution demands tbat theirs should not be exempt from tbe general levy. That's a fact." Having forfeited all right to it, it should be confiscated to public use by acts of Congress, by Executive decrees, by the uplifted arm of militarv tiowejr. Under proper regulations the army should feed and forage on tbe enemy. Cheers and laughter. There must be no more loyal bayonets set to sentinel Rebel plantations. Cheers. No more imprisonment of our hungry troops for taking a stray chicken or pig from Secessionists, whose carcasses ought long ago to have dangled from gibbets. Cheers No more Union pickets stationed arouna ' tbe lordly manfciuus of officers in tbe rebel army, whose airy rooms, grateful groves and healthful springs were needt-d for our wounded, sick aod fainting soldiery, who, because of unaccountable tenderness for traitors, have been left to writhe in noisome huts, piue uoder tropicat skies, and drink tbe waters of miasmatic swamps and streams. We have bad enough oT thi3. I must stop. Loud cheers Rather, Sir, let the villains great as-d small who have whelmed the country in this wauton war, be made to contribute to its cust so far as is practioible, though it take the uttermost firtbii.g of tbeir goods and chattels, land and tenements. That's the talk Mr. President, an incidental consideration shows the necessity for Government assuming control of tbis subject. A reckless and useless destruction of Rebel property is sure to follow the resumption of Federal sway in tbe insurgent States, unless it is regulated by national law, civil or military. Tbis war has engendered implacable unimosilits in the communities where it rages. Punishment should not be left to be administered according to Ibe caprices and revenues of those who have suffered from Rebel rule. Tbe partial wrath of Wick.iffe, who would bang by resolution of Congr-S3 such of tbe ringleaders as happen to be bis political opponent?, and the impartial vengeance 0f Brownlow, who would hurl all, both rank and file, with their goods and effects " quickly down to the hottest hell," prove that the future peace and good order of the insurrectionary States demand that the persons and property of the Rebels be placed nnder the control and be subject to the disposal ot the Government. Good Thirdly, Emancipation. I have now, fellow citizens, touched the tender point of this controversy. As briefly as possible will I give yon my reasons why this Rebellion aod American Slavery should come to a common and simultaneous end. I might base my argument upon tbe immutable truth tbat every slave in tbe Republic has, by the law of the Eternal, tbe same right to liberty as Abraham Lincoln, Roger B. Taney, and George B. McClellan. But, waiving tbis, I rest my argument npon tbe two obvious grounds that -Slavery was the main-spring of the Rebellion, and is now the chief strength of the war. Tbe Slavery Propagandists having whelmed the country in tbis Rebellion to strengteu and perpetuate their atrocious system, retribution demands that it be subineiged by tbe convulsiou which its votaries have conjured np. Great applause So much for the Rebellion now, as to the war. By compelling their negroes to perform tbe ordinary agricultural and mechanical labor of the revolled States, to do the drudgery of the camp, to carry the weapons of the eoldiery during tbe weary march, to cut tbe fuel for the nightly bivouac, to throw up tbe intrenchmeots which our troops must storm, and to aid in the conflict in a thousand ways, the South is able to send to the war its whole white population capable of bearing arms, and preserve them liesh and

strong for tbe shock of the battle-field. The slaves of rebels should be confiscated without compensation. Those of loyal citizens should participate in the common benefaction, their claimants being fairly compensated, because, while this small remnant of bondmen would be comparatively worthles as slaves, they would be dangerous to the general peace of the South, the source of continued contention in all parts of the country, and an unseemly blemish npon the fair face cf a regenerated cation. In this connection, sir, I taay give another, though analogous reason why this whole matter should be disposed of now. 7 By one or two acts of Congress, and by numerous orders of military commanders, many hundred thousand slaves, scattered all through the South, have been declared forever free.". Though tbe war were to instantly ctnse, and the old order of things be restored, these persons can never be reduced to slavery. Cheers. Oa the contrary, messures wcu d he instituted to select these freed men out of . tbe mass of bondmen. This would fill every corner of tbe South With an agitation Itiateinight drive tha country to the brink of another civil war, I wish the boys who are firing crackers would . change the base of ..their operations, aod get further off, culminating, perhaps, in a general iusurrection of tbe slaves. Prudential reasons, therefore, counsel us tbat it is quite as 8nfe to go ' through to the end as to attempt to retreat or halt where we are. I would sieze the present auspicious moment for a fioal adjustment of our account with God and the negro race for another reason. A 'change in tbe framewoik of society, bo radical and sudden as the overthrow of slavery, might, in ordinary times, seriously convulse the country. But in the midst of this dread war, when States clash against States, when a million of armed men close in battle-shock all over the laud, when the thunders of our martial marine echo along an ocean and river line measured by thousands of miles, wben our people begin to look upon startling events and radical changes, and incessant agitations, as the ordinary . occurrences of the times, the overthrow of slavery by act of Congress or the military decree of tbe President, as a pure war measure, would add scarcely a ripple to the carrent commotion. Sensation an 1 cheers. As to its cost, wben Congress, nnder the operation cf the previous question, votes to raise two and three hundred millions of money at a dash, to carry on tbe war tbe public all the while looking on with complacency the country will not be startled by the proposition to pay a few thousand loyal slaveholders for their negroes. I favor tbis radical war measure, also, beciuse it will not only crush tbe present revolt, but will forever prevent all future rebellions of the like nature. Let us, then dispose of tbis mousier wrong while we have the power. Let us not leave as a legacy to posterity an evil that bas afil cted us. Let the Government inscribe upon our annals an irrevocable decree of liberation, that shall stand through all time as a warning to rulers who plot iniquity, aod an encouragement to those who do well. Cheers. Just here, Mr. President, we are met with three or four objections, which I can barely glance at in passing. Constitutional obstacles are interposed both in the way of emancipation and confiscation. I willsugthrusting the Constitution into the arena of discussion, not to authorize some good, but to protect some evil, and who are ever invoking its provisions not to accomplish and justify benign obj cte, but to perpetuate aud consecrate cruelty and crime. No mistake. Tbe Constitution came out of the furnace beat of our revolutionary struggle, declaring one of its prime objects to be to " establish justice, aud secure tbe blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posteriiy." We urge confiscation aud emancipation, purely as military mpusurt-s, essential to our success in tbis war, and as nidi in crushing ton rebellion. Martial law overrides all other law. It can take liberty and life at will. Surely, it can seize property, aud deliver from slavery. It bas teen biutt-d tbat the. Supreme Court may hereafter pronounce these measures cull and void. 1 doubt sir, whether that tribunal would thus intervene in behalf of treason against the Government. If it should, the reforming baud of legislation must teach it that courts are made for the people, ami not people for the courts, and that no order of men must stand iu the way of prt-6erva-tion of tbe life of tbe Kepublic. Never. It bas also beeu urged tbat this policy will exasperate tbe rebels, and protract tbe war. But, no proposition can be clearer to my mind than this If the rebels are given to understand that it they return to their allegiance tbey will be paid for their negrees, whereas if tbey continue in arms Ihey will be taken from tbem without compensation, tbis will operate npon their selosh natures as a strong inducement to tbe prompt abandonment of the rebellion.
