MR. J5UBLISGAM"S f GREAT " SPEECH.
We hare all read of the lady partizan
of Mr Wilkes who. insisted that he Was a
handsome malt: and when reminded of his
villainous squint, roundly asserted that he
did hot squint more
ought to do. i .
than a gentleman
It appears to us that those person
a who
call Mr. Burlingame'f speech a "great "
speech, must be lineal descendants jof the'
good lady who. so admired Mr.- Wilkes.
At any rate, the blinding effects-'of jfctnatt
cism are hardly more striking in ijhe one
case than in the other. .' J
We have read the. speech, certainty, with
no personal prejudices. Mr. Burlingame
is an amiable genllenan, of pleasing man
ners -and address, wrjo, to quote his own
words in speaking-'ofj Mn Sumner,:" never
had apersonaL enemy irr his" life." " But
tie speech is one ' which derives its whole
consequence and effect from its being in
sympathy' with jthe present, heated and
frantic tone of public sentiment in1 Massa
chusetts. It is a- flimsey web of declama
tion, attmtfng attention! only by the gau
diness of it3- coloring-. It is forcibly feeble
and elaborately commonplace. . There are
hundreds of young men in; the colleges .pf
New England who could make as good a
speech, to say the least Its rrjetorio is
tawdry and boyish:; and the praises it
lavishes upon Mr. Spinner are irt Bad taste
from their extravagance. We shoiald tlVtnk
that gentleman, by the by, would Begin to
be siek of the excessive adulation1 which
his admirers lavish upon him. Praise is a
cordial, to be drank in small glasses. Mr.

Mr. Burlingame
nate in bis defence
is rpa rt icu larlV unfort u
of the personal liberty
bill. We Sincerely
advise our Republican
friends to let that statute alone, j Let the
mantle of discreet isilence rest upon it so
long asf it remains unrepealed:.-! As the
sons ot rsoao, 'itn back ward steps and
reverently sad countenances, covered the
nakedness of their? father, so Should the
i ....... . bi
sons of Massachusetts deal - with their
mother Common weath in regard to that
statute. Certainly, it needs a much nicer
master of logical Science than Mr. Burlin
game, to undertake such a subject. ?;
Massachusetts,' says Mr. Burlingame,
has always been faithful has ajways been
loyal to the Constitution. Has she? it
must be then with the qualification that
she h&s always been loyal to the Constitu
tion as she understands it If the Supreme
Court of the United States are correct in
their construction1 of the Constitution if
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts are
correct in their construction oT it then the
personal liberty bill is an act of disloyalty
to the Constitution. ; v j j ;
! After this" general flourish' of loyalty;
Mr. Burlingame 'proceeds to defend Mas
sachusetts under the special charge of
having passed this statute : J- ! i
Another charge is that Massachusetts
has passed a personal liberty bill Well
sir, I say that Massachusetts; for her local
legislation is not responsible to this House
or ta any member of it 1 say, sir, that
if her laws were as-bad as those atroeious
laws of Kansas yea can do jiothing with
her. I sayrif her statute-books, instead of
being filled wjth generous 1 legislation
legislation , which ought to be interesting
to her assailants, becauso it is in favor of
the idiotic and the Hind, laughter were
filled like those,' Jot the State of Alabama,
covering the State with whipping posts,
keeping half of her people in absolute sla
very, and nearly all the other half in sub
jection to 29,000 slaveholder ; if the slave
holders themselves were not permitted to
buy and make free, as they choose, their
own property so sacred, if ignorance, were
increasing faster than the population, I say
then, that you-could not do anything with
the local laws of Massachusetts. ' I ,
- K .. .. - ; ;
Was, there fever anything feebler 'than
'this? Is it any answer to1 the charge of
'having passed an unconstitutional statute
to say that the Legislature lis not responsi
ble to Congress ? Certainly, they are not
directly. . But the real question is as to the
moral attitude of Massachusetts before the
country as ito her right to complain of
unconstitutional and illegal proceedings.
The charge is, why are your so sensitive to
resistance tojthe laws of the United States
in Kansas, when you will not allow a law
ed the United States to be executed in -your
own State J . You say that Congress can
not do anything with the local laws of
Massachusetts. Tfe rejoin, the m ore's the
pity then, if you, are determined to make
Mr. Burlingame defence of- Massachu
setts on the charge reminds us of a dialogue
between a gentleman In difficulties and the
servant of a tradesman, who sent him a
bill, j K Master wants to know if you will
settle this little bill." M Give my compli
ments to your master, and tell him to look
after his own' debts and let mine alane."
So,Mr. Burlingame, in substance says;
" Gentlemen, please to look after your own
errors and mistakes, and let those of Mas
sachusetts alone." f
j-- Mr. Burlingame goes on to say ; "
The State of Massachusetts Is the guar-,
dian of the rights of her citizens and of the
inhabitants within her border: linos. If her
citizens go beyond that Ime, into distant
lands or upon the ocean, then tbey look to
the $ federal arm for protection. But old
Massachusetts is the State which is to se
cure to her citizens the inestimable blessing
of trial by jury, and the right of habeas
corpus. All those things must come "from
her and not from the federal government.
I: believe, 'with her great statesmen, and
with her people, that the Aigitive'slave law
is unconstitutional. Mr. Webster said that
he thought it was not constitutional. Mr.
Rantoul, another brilliant statesman of
Massachusetts', said the same thing-they
both thought that the clause of the Consti
tution ws addressed to the states. Mr.
Webster bowed to the decision of the Su
preme Court, in the Prigg case ;Mr Ran
toul did not. Massachusetts believes it to
be unconstitutional, but whether it be con
stitutional or not, she means, so long as the
federal government undertakes to execute,
that law, that the federal government shall
do it with its own instruments, vile or other
wise. She says that no one clothed with
her authority, shall do anything: to help in
it, so long tis the federal government un--j
dertakes to dp it. (
If would be difficult to -find a paragraph
of equal length, spoken or written by a
man in authority, containing a greater
number of rash and reckless assertions than
this. It H not true that the great states
men and "people of Massachusetts belike
that the fugitive slave is unconstitutional.
Her Supreme Court have pronounced it
constitutional J and her people are accus
tomed to repect the decisions of that high
tribunal. The statesmen, or rather the
politicians, of the Republican party, hold
the law to be unconstitutional. Beyond
this Mf- Burlingrirrre has no right to go.
Again, it is not'true that Mr. Webster said
he thought the fugitive slave law of 1850
unconstitutional ; and it is an unwarrant
able and discreditable thing on xIr. Bur
lingame's part to say so. We cannot com
prehend the moral looseness which could
lead him to speak such language. Mr.
Webster, in his 7th of March speech, said"
of the law of 1793, that he had been of the"
opinion that its provisions should be, of
mfght be, executed by .the state authorities j
but" that heshad bowed to the authority of
Prigg's case,, as was his custom te do.
Aha" iW his letter to the citizens of New
buryport, he stilted that he had desired to
amend the fugitive slave law of 1350 by
adding a clause providing for a trial by
jury, but that he did not think that the ab
sence of such a provision made the law
unconstitutional. We challenge Air. Bur
lfngame to -produce a recorded line of Mr.
Webster's saying or intimatrng that he
considered the fugitive slave law of 1850
unconstitutional:" So long a Mr. Burlin
game leaves this challenge unanswered,
he is to be set down as a man who has
borne false witness against a dead neigh
bor. We pass by,, without' comment, the
passage" in which Mr. Webster and Mr.
Rantoul are held up as co equal statesmen
and comrnensu rate authorities in constitu
tional law. Some things are -too absurd
for argument and too grotesque for ridicule.
" I suppose you will say next," said George
Heriot to Richie Monoplies, in the Fortunes
of Nigel, "that you have at Edinburgh as
fine a river as the Thames." "The Thames!"
replied the undaunted Richie, "does your
honor know that we have at Edinburgh
the water of Leith "
-.'-1--J
Again, Mr, Burlingame intimates that
by- the personal liberty "bill Maesach uset is
declares that the federal authorities shall
execute the provisions of the fugitive slave
law themselves. ; She declares that, and
declares a great deal more. She directs
her officers to take a fugitive slave from"
the marshal's hands, and try the question
whether he is a free man or a slave before
a jury : in her own tribunals. She com
mands, or permits, her state officers to do
that which, if persisted in, would lead to a
bloody struggle between the authorities of
the.United Slates and the -Commonwealth.
The United States say that they mean to
execute a certain law within the territory
of Massachusetts ; Massachusetts ays it
shall not be done. .This is plain nulrrfjca
tien ; and the end of it is -civil war. Just
so long as Massachusetts keeps that law
upon her statute-book she is iu no position
to complain of resistance tolaw "anywhere;
for she has set the example. And when
Mr. Burlingame eulogizes Massachusetts
so zealously, does he not -see that he lays
himself open to ; the retorting reply :
"Well," If this 'glorious ' and magnificent
state of Massachusetts tramples under fool
a law of the .United States because -she
does not like it, what better can you expect
of a parcel of slaveholders that have suck
ed in ignorance and wickedness with their
mothers' milk t Shall the deeds of.
the
A
children ot darkness- be better than those
of the children of light V -
Mr. Burlingame spends much' zealoue
breath in eulogizing the state of Massa
chusetts. We happen to belong' to that
ery small minority which doubts the good
taste of this- course: Massachusetts has
much to be proud of in hep history, her in
stitutions, and the character of her popula
tion ; but we ."think that noo people have a
livelier sense of th worth- of Massachu
setts than her own sons. They certainly
have no occasion to pray that the Lord
would send them a good conceit of them
selves. The .claims of an individual ore
generally reeognized the more readily by
others if tbey are not obtruded by himself;
and we think he. merits of a state are quite
as likely to be acknowledged by Strangers
if they are not so loudly trumpeted by her
own citizens. We have seen quite enough
of this self-laudation and self-glorification ;
and we are by no means surethat Massa
chusetts would not grow in srrace if she
coulk have a quicker sense of her own de
fects and 'a. more generous recognition of
the, virtues of her neighbors. So, too, Mr.
Burlingame follows 'the lead of abler men
in his vituperation of South Carolina. We
confess that we read such effusions with
regret '"and disapprobation. We regard
as in bad taste, as wrong, and as unwise.
What possible good can come of it? Are
you going to make South Carolina behave
better by exasperating all herevil-passions?
Public opinion in England, at this moment,
would not allow a member of 'Parliament
to use such language towards France as
Mr. Burlingame indulges himself in to
wards South Carolina, because it wo'uld
tend to a breach of the peace among na
tions. Shall we sanction towards a 6ister
state a'strain of, blustering denunciation
which would be disconntennnced in Europe
towards a people ". of different race, lan
guage, and religion ? If it be our object
to turn brothers into enemies, to make one
section of the country hate another, and to
take the "first steps in a path which leads
to disunion and civil war, Mr. Rurlingame's
strain of remark is worthy of all commen
dation and imitation. We cannot see any
other result likely to come of it. .
We are well aware of the justification
which iskalways offered in "behalf of this
wounding language, that it is provoked by
similar expressions from the lips of slave
holders themselves. We have no doubt
that this is perfectly true in point of fact j
but what is the value of the defence?
Simply, that they do wrong, and we do
likewise. .We show ourselves no better
ihan slaveholders when we imitate their
violence, kheir bad temper, and bad taste.

Jnritig the drat Week in January,
"Th Iiv OiraffM," while it was a nentral pa
per, while it- graise-d in its own green paMorage,
played with the ghls, and joked with the boys,
was tbo motit opiUar sheet, animate nr inanimate,
that ever i.-BUi'd from a Sootbeiu prers; and banl
it been content .to have lived in its own native
sphere, it iy0tj!d how have been the ' Brother
Jonathan" of the -South. Such a result can bnt
be evident to any thinking man ; it was indeed,
on the highroad to fame and a most enviable
distinction. But becoming fat, in an nnlacky
moment, like the man who bad grown "rick en
ough to rids an as," and had. therefore gotten
above his fellows, the "Animal' leaped the bars
of its accustomed field, and tbo next thing we
heard of him, he, like a man turned politician
from preacher, was pining for the good things ot
liffi. and no rioobt, like the silly lamb of old that
clndod'the sight of the shepard, and got into the
thick woods which was fonnd to be infested with
wolves, he wished himself back in bin old range.
Bnt the bars had been put another rail higher
and- he couldn't get back ; besides, he had
grown so lean that he could not jump.
It is said that bought wisdom is the best In
the world, if it iloul cost too much. A mighty
true saying ; one in which there U rooro of troth
than poetry or romance, and in view of this' old
saying and- the Annimal'a experience, his old
friend need l ave little fear that be will at any
time hereafter cat the same caper again. He'll
kick any mart that would intimate such a thing.
The Live Giraffe will then be' neutral. It will
be devoted to fun, to tie neics, and literature. It
will bo made the vehicle of publishing many a
thought to the world,' fanny, grave and instruc
tive, that would have wasted iuoll on the air "as
summer roses do." but for its columns ; it will
seek every opportunity to tarn grave and uninter
esting matters into pleasant and agreeable inci
dents ; upset all ill-natured humanity it meets
with and mould it anew ; expose all rascality
wherever found, whether In Cuurclv or ctate
(that's promising a great deal,) or in the -social
circle: and ktfen-a strict watch on the pre?, liter
ry, religious and political, and see that each
keeps its bounds.
The citizens of Raleigh know well enough the
value of such a sheet, and would not do without
it another year for half million. Why, since the
exit of the Animal from their borders, tbey have
had more bad luck than was ever heard of before:
More 1usts have ' been made, more liens been
given upou property, more assignments made,
more quarreling and fighting, more drinking of
liqHor, more meanness generally, and more ill
luck than tver was known at any period since tbo
great plague in Egypt. .
Now ibis is as plain as daylight, and th only
remedy for gncb evils is to tiot'oot the Animal
again. Sol think.
Now, this ia the proposition I shall malje- to
you.' I want an assurance of yonr williugnes to
patronize the Animal, and to get that assurance I
shall give you full opportunity tocorTfspond.with
me and to send in all the names that can be se
cured. If K0 names cn be securer? we bbali have do
fears o" the success ofthe Animal. He will soon
grow lat wh'.n b begins to take exercise, and,
then he ran plead his own cae; if not with elo
queut words, at least with an occasional kick- (rt
the 4oys.
It has been intimated to mo that the connec
tion I sustained to the Cfrelind Pennant" would
injure the Animal sinoe the- - Pt-nnant" had and
