It is said that ttie continuance of slavery is

the petitioner ought to be allowed to judge for
himself: Jt is enough for mt if ve poss ss the
right, to reject ihe prayer ( his petition. tIf

There is another point Twishto touch." It
does szem to me that ihase abolition petitions
are poor conicmptible tilings: in themselves
they can never hurtany b )dy : Ihey are mere
iruta (uhuincL ; what harm can lh y possibly
do if they shall be' referred ? . ShouId,.cven u
bill bo reported in conformity with their reS
quest, cannot this IIuliso n jecl it I You have
no rule or order to prevent the introduction of
a bill. ' The memberrom Massachusetts, nr
any other gentleman, might at any lime intro
duce a bill to abolish slavery, just as anyv oth
er, bill fs introduced. , You have-no Yule
against ihis, which might really be dangerous.
But the petftions .harmless -and contemptible
as they arci );ou arc careful to exclude. Do
not gentlemen" see that if the object of the
rl'.V.ohcrs once becomes the choice of a ma
jority here,' that majority can" et asulo tl is

abohslied. Ifsuoli a majority sh.iiilJ ever be
found here in favor of a bill to abolish sUvery
in the:DIstrict of Corumbia,'hey will have
nowcrta repeal thi) rale. Wliv then be so
adverse to iho reception of abolition pcthions?

wiih;vUr allies ul tho North ? !They are hard

ed to personally by several gentlemen of both

us of the South on this'qucsiion, and who say
tht-y j will continue lo do so if we deem it re.

giving' way,' "and the abolitionists gaining

Let us now recur tri our &imilo of a. battle.
Suppose a general had laken' a position with
his own troops behind a secure breastwork,
bill had stationed, his allies on exposed ground,
where they were rapidly falling by the ene.
my' shot, and could with difficulty sustain
themselves.. .They appeal to the general, and
jell him lhat, if he regards it as important 10
maintain iheir position, and considers. , th
grotjnd valuable, ihey will slill cn'dtavor lo
occtjpy it."' He1 tells them in reply that ithe
groiind is worth nothing, and thai he ought
not lo have taken it, hut lhat he will not, once
having laken it, retire, but that they must re-
niain'there and be cut lo p'iecrs. Now, I ap
peal to my. friends from ihe South to' say
whether it is fair, that we should keep our al
lies in this rttiitude longer, evenii some of
thorn are generous enough to submit to it ?
Dot suppose in" all I have said I am wrong.
Can we not, as a matter ofsound, policy,' re
ceive these piiitior1? We have. repeatedly
received the petitio:.? of foreigners; sureiy
we may, us an act of courtesy, receive those
f (jurown citizens, though we Co not choose
to grant the prayer.- I should be glad if gen
emen from iho bautli would review their
round.
Bat it is said if we now rescind this rule the
bolitionists will boast of it. v Without doubt
they will profess lo be greatly delighted ; but,
sir,! Ithere. will bepo rdal joy among'them,

In the next place, fdlow.citizens, I will call
your attention to itha following extract frum
a speech delivered by Itcnry Clay,' February
7th, 1839, on the floor.pf the Senate,on ihc
subject of abolition petitions :
It is well known to the Senate, that I have
thought that the most Judicious course with
abolition petitions has not been of late pur
sued bv Conirers. I 'have believed that it
would have been, wisest' to receive and refer
them,-without .opposition: and report against
their object in a culm, and dispassionate, and
argumentative appeal to the cood sense 01
ihe whole community. 'It has been supposed;
however, by n'm j iritr of Congress, lhat it
was most expedient either not to receive the
petitions it allor, if formally received,5 not
to "act definitively upon , them. 1 bera is no
substantial difference between these opposite
opinions.- since lxth " look lo an absolute re.
jection of ihe prayer of. the petitioners, Dut
there is a great diuerencc in the torin 01 pro.
ceeding ; and, Mr.'J President some expert
ence in the conduct of human afTairs has
taught me to liclieve, ) that a - neglect to ob
serve established forms, is often attended with
more mischievous consequences than the in-.
faction of a positive injury. ; Wo nil know
that jj: even in private life a .violation' of the
existing usages and ceremonies cf. society
cannot take place without; serious prejudice.
I fear, sir, thai the abcmtiom-s have acquired
a considerable .apparent force, by Llending
with the object" they ha vo in view a collateral
and totally different question; arising out of
an alleged violation of the right of peiition.
I know full well, 'and take great pleasure in
testifying, that noihing was remoter from the
inleniion jf ihe majority of tlw Senate, from
which I differed, thao.to violate the right of
petition " in any case 1 n which,, according to
its judgment, thai right could be constitution.
ally exercised; or where tue oojeci: 01 me pe
tition could be! safely or properly: granted
Still it must be owned lhat the abolitionists
have seized hold ofuhe facl of the treatment
which their petitions have received in Con.
gress, and made injurious impressions upon
ihe minds of a large portion of the cornmuni.
ty. This, think, might have bern avoided
rh- course Wl.Lh 1 should have Lea Had
ce pursued.11 i " - 1
