So far then, you perceive that, according to
the fixed and unanimous conviction of the fif

Voar whole North, if it were united as one man,
could no more do that deed than it con-Id make

true hearts,, the North: would no more think of
such an attempt upon soon pretexts as juu t-
raveven it those Dtetexts were au true anu
real than it would think of parricide followed

what! snail add to snow tnat tnose preiexia are
neither true nor real. . .
The very foundation of, your discourse, as
vou distlnctlv state, is the erand principle, uni-
versal, as you assert, m the law ot slavery, wai
man, created m the image of Uod, 1a aivestea
of his human character, and declared to be a
mere chattel. Now, Mr. Sumner, you cannot fai
to be aware that both parts of this statement are
absolutely untrue, and by consequenee your
whole plea for our conquest is oasea on a aou
b!e, perfidious quibble. There is nofra single
slave State in this Union whose laws divest the
slave of bis human character. There is not a
single one whose laws declare a slave to be
mere chattel. No doubt many of the rights,
which, I believe with you, to be inherent in hu
man nature, are wholly incompatible with any
state of slavery. No doubt if slavery exists at
all, the right of property thus recognised by the
local law may be analogous to the right one has
to a chattel, just as it may be to the right one
ha6 to realty. But you have far too muoh sense
and knowledge not to know, that these are wide
ly different truths from the abominable untruths
u poo which your whole discourse proceeds.
Do vou not perfectly understand that every
slave State in this Union shapes its entire slave
code upon the grand truth that a slave is not a
mere chattel, and that his human character is
divested ? Do you not know that, by the uni
versal law of slavery, the slave is held to
innumerable accountabilities, overriding all
claim of his master ; and that he is protected,
not as a chattel, bnt as a man, at the peril
and forfeit even of his master s life? And yet,
upon precisely opposite allegations, you con
friruct'un argument whose logical issue is the
subversion of our national Union ;and upon that
argument you construct a code ot morals,

.Vmest - f the topics you diseuss, entitles me,
rJ "without undue presumption, to give utterance to
: ". some of the thoughts excited by yoor discourse.
. jvsAllew me, air, to ntter in one sentence the
eubstance of my whole thought touching the
madness ot the times, about this whole question
ttegro slavery. Here we are a great peo
plewith 'a glorious mission set before us.
More than twenty millions of us with whose
destiny the deetiny of three or four millions of
' blacks Is tearfully combined, uno way or otn
' erwe paost solve their destiny, when we solve
: ' our own.. This is wholly unavoidable. But,
the madness is, that every seven white Ameri
" cabs must needs cut each other's throats con
cerning lbe fate of one black -African ! Is
there no solution oi the problem of their destiny
and burs.. but that solution which destroys ns,
, without benefittingthem? And.can statesmen
such as I do not see sufficient reason to doubt
you are and patriots, such as I have not the
heart to deny you to be find no better solu
tidn of this terrible problem no nobler issue
of our sublime hopes than mutual destruction
-by the men of the North and the men of the
South for the Bake of the. African slaves, scat
tered thinly, over the continent? Are we not
able to bear through, by our invfncible strength,
even such a parasite as this black race, carry
ing them forward far beyond anything they
could have reached without us, and yet mount
's ingu up ourselves far beyond anything they
may ever reach ? Shame upon every American
statesman, and every American patriot, who is
insensible to the glory of such a n suit ! Infamy
to every one who conspires to defeat it !
And. yet, sir, you, an American Senator,
speaking in the name of that great Common
wealth in w hose boeom stands Bunker Hill
and sitting in the seat of that great statesman
. and patriot who saw no hope for public liberty
higher than that which rests upon the Union
pf,. these States; you, an American Senator,
who has studied the past, and who fears God,
allow yourself to bring the whole force of your
character, your position, and your great gifts,
to bear directly upon the point at whieh alone
it is possible to wreck the country, and to de
stroy us all together ! The very madness ot
the limes assumes in you its most frantic as-
pect: and you openly avow that slavery in
.America is a wrong so grievous and unques
tionable that it should not be allowed to con
. tinue nay, that it should cease to exist at once
nay, that a wrong so transcendent, so loath
Bome, so direful, must be encountered wherever
it can be reached, and the battle must be con
tinued without truce or compromise, until the
field is entirely won. Such are your words,
profoundly eloquent unspeakably frantic!
Now, sir, this means neither more nor less
than the edge of the sword. Lay aida the
rhetoric, and the simple sense is, grape and
canibter, cold steel and stricken battle. Believe
me, Mr. Sumner, when I state two facts, one of
, which i know better than you do, and the
. ; other of which you ought to know better, per
haps, than I do. The fact which I know better
than you do, is, that whenever the verv faintest
indication of the settled purpose of the men of
ine .norm 10 ioiiow jour advice becomes ap
parent to the nwi of the fifteen slave States of
this tniou a million of armed men will be
ready to receive you and your followers ; and
if you come not speedily thereafter to execute
, your threats, your coming will not be waited
tor ; but they will seek you on the soil where
j "uw iiuj ouopose no aanger will ever
-. come, lbe fact which you ought to know bet
ler than I do is, that after two or three bun
' iu"uiiu uicii bio arrayed ini nattle. on
eacbeide, it makes no sort of difference as to the
probable result, whether one or the other nurtv
han the greater reserve of physical force ltft out
ol battle ; because, after tWO Ol- thrf'P lmn?rfi(l
thousand fighting men, iu the present state of
me art ol war everything depends merely on
uiaius lLeeum ot these facts is very clear;
namely, if the North wantsto settle thp sUverv
question by the edge of the eword, the North is
in a very fair way to be r.erfsctlv frTan'fir.rt
and whn she gets what she wants, there is al
-least an exceeding probability that the North
will see reason to chanee her mind mfttfir;Uw
as to the wisdom of that method of settling that
tUCDtiVU.
Moreover, lot it not e&canp vrmr nttnniinn
that many circuuistsnces aggravate theeonduct
01 me men 01 tne .Worth, and exasperate the
nearis 01 tue men ot the Smith ;n v,i
. business ; all of them tending to strengthen us
u iU wituea you at every stage of the bloody
struggle to which vou are driving th n,,ntr.
For, in the first place, let slavery be all that voti
assert it to be, the time is lone Dflst when it
was either honest, wise, or patriotic for you to
take that ground, even in an argument having
merely ordinary -political bearings, much less
m one looking to bloodshed and conquest. All
mat was ett!td between us before the old con
federation was formed ; it was settled again in
the common danger und common glory of our
great Revolution : it was settled again in the
J'tderiil constitution. I say nothing about the
unspeakable lolly. of arguing as a statesman,
that a bluve State and a free State cannot toler
ate each other in one confederacy, supposing the
question to be uow for the first time consider
ed. What I say is, that it is no longer possible
lor the men of the .North to open that question,
wiihout revolution, and without disloyalty to
every national act and movement of our past
history ; and what 1 mean is, that thay cannot
do this without so weakening and disgracing
themselves, and eo strengthening and ennobling
us, that 0d, posterity, lortune, and the hearts
i the cimbatants, inubt feel the effects of the
opioaite conduct and position of the parties.
To which, add in the second that this con
duct oi theuttti of the North, besides being a
boce political alterihought, is a deliberate
brtach oUatth, crmentfd by the blood of our
fathers ; an ignoble retraciion of plighted hon
or and truth and justice ; a calculated sacrifice
d those ol thtinwn race.and lineage, andhouse,
and bleed, for those of a strange kindred and
clinjfc without any new circumstancesor addi
tional reason for co atrocious a perfidy against
plighted troth.
Add again, in the third place, the atrocity of
that mate of heart in which the North presses
tail bloody arbitrament, under the settled belief
tnat she riwka nothing thereby, and that we
risk ev rything -, end the fervor of that state ol
- soul, an which, the South, roused by so much
whose highee't obligation is civil war! Sir,
whatever may be my opinion of the fairness of
such reasoning, I easily perceive its dialeetio
skill. But for your sweeping allegations your
argument had p.othing on which to rest for if
the relation ot master and slave be once admit
ted to be genericallv a relation of power and
subjection analogous to those of ruler and sub
ject, guardian and ward, parent and child, then
it demands lar higher powers than yours, to
show that as a mere relation it has any moral
quality at all ; and then your duty of murder
on account of it comes straightway to an end.
Slavery, Mr. Sumner, is not a ching, which.
even in its fundamental nature, much less in its
more revolting 'aspects, I have any purpose to
defend. But it is not, either in its nature or its
manifestations, the thingyou pronounce it to be;
and this you could hardly fail to know. How,
then, can I avoid saying that the pretexts on
which you counsel such insane proceedings are
neither true nor real ?
What you say on the two vital objections, as
you call them, to what you style the Anti Slave
ry .enterprise, is not equal to the level of your
ordinary thoughts. The distinction of race, as
an obstacle to indiscriminate abolition, and the
sanction of Christiana of the institution of slave
r j, as a plea for its toleration,' do unquestionably
require to be put aside more thoroughly than
you have succeeded in doing, before the terrible
necessity ot adopting your principles and follow
ing your counsel can be said to be obligatory on
the conscience of the1 North. I will venture to
suggest somewhat on both topics, which seems
to have escaped your notice.

both of whichsare immutable; bat every duty is
modified by circumstances, which vary cease
lessly ; and it is only as we comprehend both
of these great principles that we can ever at
tain any tational assurance that we perform a
single duty aright. As a member of the hu
man race, enlightened by the Gospel, I may
have particular views of the general question of
human servitude. Considered as a citizen of
the United States, with the institution of sla
very Occupying the precise posture it does to
the nation, my view of my duty must necess
arily be modified. Considered as a citizen of
Kentucky, where much might be done towards
the amelioration of slavery, my duty is modi
fied again. And considered as a citizen of South
Carolina, where probably it is hardly possible
to conjecture how slavery could teminate peace
fully and safely, my duty necessarily under
goes another and very serious modification. The
religion of Jesus Christ is compatible with every
condition in which Uod e providence constrains
our fallen race to exist ; and it is as absurd as
reason, and as unfounded in fact, to assert that
Christ and his Apostles required the indiscrim
inate abolition of human servitude, as to assert
that they required that the indiscriminate over
throw of any other form of despotic authority
among men. For myself, my natural heart
would doubtless have loved the teachings of the
Lord all the more, if he had preached a crusade
for liberty, instead of a sacrifice for sin.
But with his Gospel in our hands, we can no
more keep an honest and enlightenedoonscience,
and deny that his teachings tolerated human
servitude as a condition compatible with eajva
t: on, than we can make ourselves acquainted
with the history of human affairs, and deny that
ills Providence has tolerated buman servitude
as a condition compatible with the existence of
society. What are we, that we cannot have a
little patience with that which God has had pa
tience with since sin entered into the world? And
how striking is it to behold the certainty with
which men have repudiated the power of the
dispel, as soon as they have fastened on it a po wer
of their own ; how surely they become bereticp,
apostates, or infidels when they begin to teach
Christ, instead of setting down at his feet to
learn of him ! What else can we sav. but that
all such pretexts, whether for public wrong or
for private iniquity, are neither true nor real ?
It was my purpose, sir, to have said some
thing on the remaining topics of your discourse
tue practicability and dignity ot tbe anti sla
very enterprise, together with your view of the
special duty of the North with regard to it. In
your first topic, however, the necessity of that
enterprise, the foundation of all lies ; and hav
ing discussed, in some degree, your fundamen
tal principles, I pass by what, when I was a
younger man, I should have been more prompt
to utter, touching some other portions of your
discourse. For the rest. I will venture te add
a few words, which, if you cared to do so, it
would be your right to demand of me, in expla
nation of my own views, after having spoken so
freely of yours.
Slavery, Mr. Sumner, is not a modern insti
tution ; it is as ancient as human society. And
yet it is not a permanent institution, in- the
sense of being perpetuated in one particular
race or country. We have the ead advantage
of being able to contemplate itinevery age of
tbe world, in every condition of severity, and in
contact with every form of eivilisation. We
ought, by this time, to be able to comprehend
it. From this point of view I have two state
ments to make, both of which I fear mar aD-

However difficult tne question ot human ser
vitude may be to solve, after slavery has been
fullv established in the bosom of a Common
wealth, or however men may diner as to tne
moral aspect of the actual questions now agita
ting the minds of our countrymen so deeply,
it seems to me that, as a mere topic of national
politics and national legislation, the whole
question of American slavery is one environed
by no other difficulties, but sucn as nave Deen
created by our own evil passions. So far as
the powers of the National Government are
concerned, has not Massachusetts the unques
tionable right to create slavery in her bosom
if she sees, fit to do so and Louisiana to abol
ish it inters, if she thinks proper? And is
not this troe of every State ? What need then
is there, in all soberness, for frantic contentions
about Territorial settlements, which, in their
own nature, can be only temporary? Suppose
Missouri should abolish slavery ? Suppose Il
linois should create it ? Suppose Kansas should
decide the question, first one way and then the
other? Moreover, what esseutial difference
does it make, whether it is upon a basis of fif
teen slave States, or sixteen slave States, that
the great problem of oar national destinv is to
be worxea out r Ana as to its true oeanng on

stated that, in after life, and even while repre
senting the United States Government at the
Court of St. James, he was accustomed to carry
about with him, jn his waistcoat pocket, the
identical pair of scissom with which, some forty
years ago, he clipped off tapo and trimmings in
his first little store in Boston. Nothing could
better illustrate the independent and democratic
charaeter of the man than this little incident;
for the truth of which we have ex-Gov. Briggs
as our voucher. After a few years experience
in shop keeping, Messrs. Amos and Abbott
Lawrence established themselves, upon a lar
ger scale, as importers,- and sebsequently con
nected with that business the manufacturing and
rprinting of cotton fabrics at Lowell, where they
made large investments. Their extensive opera
tions and magnificent enterprises soon had the
effect to greatly increase their wealth, and the
house finally found it to their interest to withdraw
from the business of importing, and to confine
their attention and capital to cotton manuafaetu
res at Lowell and elsewhere. The result mav
whether six, or ten, or a hundred slaves,
more or less, escape or are reclaimed ? Tbe
power of the General Government over the
whole subject is so extremely limited, and tran
sient, and incidental, as com pared with the ab
solute power of the States themselves ; the good
that can be done by the exercise of the powers
actually possessed by Congress is comparative
ly so slight and uncertain, and the danger
which is obviously incurred is bo real and de
plorable ; the condition in which the nation
stands with rdferenoe to the whole subject is so
distinct and so peculiar ; that, I must confess,
it has always appeared to me unspeakably sur
prising that any national party, and especially
any one at the North, should be found capable
of permanent organization in connexion with
such topics. Any honest, moderate, patriotic,
consistent exercise of the powers of the General
Government over the question of slavery could
hardly have failed to satisfy the nation to the
end, as it satisfied it during its early and most
glorious period. Whatever mav have been the
sins or tollies of Southern statesmen, or the
Southern people, it would be hard to produce
an example at onee more flagrant, insulting and
unjust than the disoourse which suggested these
remarks.
After all, I cannot persuade myself that God
will allow us to degrade ourselves so utterly as
to break up this glorious confederacy on such a
question as this. I do not allow myself to be
lieve that the mass of the American people are
so utterly destitute of the sublime instinct of
their country s mission among the nations
Civit war is not a remedy ; it is the most dire
ful of all diseases. National strength, in a day

and tbe point of view from which they consider

States is a matter concerning which no Ameri
can who has a true heart in his bosom can pos

there be one political duty common to us all,
and transcendently clear and binding, it is that
we should visit with immediate .and condign

of slaves or three millions and a fraction over be briefly summed up, and made evident, by a
reference to the rapid growth and prosperity ol
Lowell and Lawrence, of which city the Messrs.
Lawrence were among the first founders and
most efficient promoters.
lhe business of tbe present firm of A. & A.
Lawrence & Co., extending, as it does, a com
mercial net-work over the entire range of A-
merican and foreign markets, and amounting
to upwards often millions of dollars per annum,
is another evidence of tbe energy, enterprise
and far-sighted policy of the original founders of
that well known house. But to return: Mr. Law
rence was elected to represent Boston in the 24th
apd 25th Congress. His Congressional term
of service was not, however, characterized by
any thing very remarkable. In 1843 he reoei
ved flattering testimony of tbe confidence repo
sed in him by being appointed by Government
one of the Commissioners for the settlement of
the vexed question of the North-Eastern boun
dary, and the vast resources of his practical
business tact and talent had much influence in
bringing about the satisfactory result of that
important commission. In 1848, Mr. Law
rence favored the election of Qen. Taylor to tbe
Presidency, and himself lacked but one vote of
being the Whig nominee for the Vice Presiden.
cy, and consequently narrowly esoaped the
Presidential chair, afterwards, on, the death of
the lamented Taylor, so ably filled by Millard
Fillmore. In 1846, Mr. Lawrence was accred
ited Minister of the United States at the Court
of St. James, and by his eandid, courteous, and
statesmanlike deportment, while in that exalt
ed position, won, in an unprecedented degree,
the regard and confidence of our tranc-Atlantic
brethren. It is now about three years since
be resigned his post, and during that period
he has resided in Boston, chiefly occupied in
superintending the affairs of his vast person
al estate the value of which is estimated at
three millions of dollar?. lie has given little
attention of late to the business routine of the
house in which be was the senior partner ;
leaving the management of its concerns in the
hands of gentlemen abundantly qualified to at
tend to them.
Mr. Lawrence, although not naturally as lib
eral, in detail, as was his brother Amos, has
upon several occasions linked his name with mag
nificent generosities, as, for instance, the prince
lv donation of $50,000 to Harvard University.
in 1847, and also, tbe endowment of the Law
rence High School of Boston. He was munifi-

of an empire on his shouldi-M. Worn out at night
in bo iy and mind, he rolls off all his cares, and
risen in the iuoriiingconciusof renewed strength
and ability t meet his returning duties. But
the man who cannot sleep, whose cares pursue
him to his pillow and drive repose from his
couch, is sonsuiued by an unquenchable fire, 4
and his syatem soon burus Itself out. aucb a
man must seek qniet employments and avoid
complex and exciting pursuits, if he expects
either happiness or long life.
Doubtless good philosophic sleeping is much
a matter of habit. If a person accustoms hirn-
sels to forget all hia cares as 6oob as his head
touches the pillow, and unites it a business to
go to sWp promptly, holding in relation to to
morrow that " sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof," this course s jon becomes a fixed habit
with him. and he has little difficulty in pursu
ing it. O.i the other, hand, the i an w ho makes
his pillow a counting-room in which to review
the transaction of the past andto devise expe
dients lor the future, soon finds that sleep, like
a frightened dove, flics frcun his couch, and
scarcely ventures to return aud fold her wing
till the morning dawfls.
Thu man who values his happiness, desires
to increase his powers of endurance, and to pro
long his life, should cultivate his capacity to sleep
not late in the morning, but promptly when
be first reclines upon his bed.
We have a uotion that good, prompt, sound
sleco is indicative of honesty. Rogues aud ras

believe it. A tevcnsb excitement, a restiesB re

my own country out of all comparison with
every other ; that I cherish my own race with
a fervor far beyound that with which I regard
all others. Some people call thi? bigotry, some
call it fanaticism, some call it narrow-mindedness

ABOLITION NEWSPAPERS IN THE
SOOTH.
The Fredericksburg Herald denounces, with
just severity, the Saturday Evening Post, which
basa most extensive circulation in tbe south
ern States, -on account of its literary pretensions,
and which has recently betrayed the confi
dence reposed in it, by bitter and unrelenting
attacks upon the rights and practices of the
South. We concur with the Herald in the o-
pinioQ that the abolitionists have indemnified
the Post for any injury it may sustain at the
South from the appearance of such articles ia
ha columns. If Southern patronage can be con
tinued to that paper after this demonstration,
it will be offering a premium by the South for
the destructionof its own institutions.
Why should Southern men patronize those
mammoth literary journals in the North, whose
tondency in abolition and morals is often detes
table, to tbe exclusion of their own excellent
periodicals ?

amongst men diversities which, if we could I have to make is that the general condition of'
obliterate them' completely, would, there can
be no doubt, be re established under the course
of Divine Providence, whose grand designs in
that, as in all things else, we neither fully com
prehend, nor are able to defeat. This diversity
of race, extending apparently to the utmost limit
compatible with its generic unity, has been one
of the most conspicuous elements in the destiny
of mankind, and is so still. I beg you to con
sider that, in all recorded time, but two methods
have been found whereby it was possible to solve
the great problem of the general mixture of ra
ces in one community on equal terms. It can
be done, where all have a common master ; that
is under a form which indiscriminately enslaves
air.
Or it can be done by means of tbe toleration of
polygamy ; that is, under a form where the civil
equality is preceded and coerced by one of blood
and household. Except by one or other of these
means, or by both of them combined, the funda
mental demand of your Abolition hypothesis,
after innumerable attempts upon every race of
men, upder every form of civilization, has en
countered only universal shipwreck. Your an
ti slavery enterprise, therefore, as soon as it en
counters the question of mixed races dwelling
together, must demand that equality which is
produced by theindiscrmiinateservitudeof all; or
it must demand the toleration of polygamy; or
it must succumb before the irresistible course
of Providence and tho invincible laws of human
nature, as both are attested by the universal
experience of mankind. That is, we must re
nounce our freedom and our actual civilization
to reach one solution nf this problem ; or we
niust denounce our Christianity, to reach tbe
other solution of it ; or we must resist your anti
slavery enterprise, withits fundamental clauseof
equality of races, as tantamount to the utter
disorganization of society. Sir, I have not one
word to say about Sbem, and Ham, or Japheth,
or Canaan. But whether as a statesman, as a
philosopher, or as a Christian, and with a sove
reign contempt for all infidel theories of man, of
society, and of virtue I calmly' and sorrowful
ly tell you, there lies one of the grand and in
superable obstacles to that universal freedom and
equality of man for which man has panted from the
origin of the race, but could never attain ; and
never will, upon such theories as yours. Tbe
pretext that the thing is attainable by civil war
or is attainable at all, except on the terms
stated, or is either possible or desirable for us,
is neither true nor real.

resent it to be, is really, and indeed of necess
ity, in all respects mitigated andregulatedifter
tiie pervading spirit of our Protestant civiliza
tion, and is gradually acquiring a more endura
ble position, as the power of the Gospel grad
ually extends its influence, and as the slave
States gradually settle into the conviction that
their duty obliges them to accept this institu
tion as a permanent part of their social svstem.
1 do not myself believe that servitude in this
particular form is, as an original question, ei
ther necessary or desirable ; and I am well con
vinced that, in many of our slave States, it
might be gradually abolished, with great ad
vantage ; while in all of them it might be still
fuither ameliorated, without regard to the
question of its ultimate solution. Nor is it my
opinion, that the permanent continuance of this
servitude, in its present form, is possible,
though its endurance may be protracted, and

"The ex-President of the United States, Mil

beauties of the lakes and the mountains sur
rounding. As he was leaving in the morning,
the buglers connected with the Lake Hotel pla
ced themselves under a tree, out of view, and
commenced playing "Yankee Doodle." As he
passed, the boatmen, grouped in different parts
of the avenue, gave him three hearty cheers, as
an acknowledgment of their gratitude to the
great republic of America. The distinguished
gentleman repeatedly acknowledged the compli
