edom of speech as the sad result of anodynes. [Applause.] Surely Mr. Seward, seeing all this, was right in confessing, at Rochester, in 1858, Thus far our course has not been according to the humane hopes and expectations of our fathers. And, in 1860, Not over the face of the whole world is there to be found one representative of our country who is not an apologist of the extension of slavery. And again, in Kansas, a month ago, Our fathers thought slavery would cease before now; but the peoplian nation would ever make, he goes on to pledge himself to use only constitutional and peaceful means to resist slavery, all about the paternal gods to the contrary notwithstanding! You need not summon him, Mr. Mason! He won't do any harm! In 1860, just after Harper's Ferry, he tells the South, that, if their sovereignty is assailed, within or without, no matter on what pretext, or who the foe, he will defend it as he would his own! You see, peaceful measures against slavery; guns and bayo

be such a thief, you ought to have a doorkeeper in every jail in Scotland. O no, Bailie, replied Rob, it is just as weel to have a bailie in ilka borough. It answers the same purpose to have a servile and complacent Mayor and Aldermen as to have a base policeman, because they arrange the juries, and they fetter and command the police. The consequence has been, that there has been no effort to execute the law. The defence put in is, We cannot execute the law. The Mayor said of the riots of 1860-61, We can't put them down. The reply of his own policemen was, Thirty of us will put them down, if you will allow us. The reply of the Abolitionist was, When did you ever make an effort to put them down? The only time you ever stood on Tremont Temple platform and issued an order, it was obeyed; the mob recognized you as their leader. But men say at the State-House, in reply to the eloquent argument of Mr. Ellis,--Mr. Healy, Alderman Amory, said, We cannot execute an unpopular law. Indee

is born. That was laying the foundation of Luther's character. Lincoln was born in Kentucky, and laid the foundation of his honesty in Kentucky. He is honest, with that allowance. He means to do his duty, and within the limit of the capacity God has given him he has struggled on, and has led the people struggling on, up to this weapon, partial emancipation, which they now hold glittering in their right hand. But we must remember the very prejudices and moral callousness which made him in 1860 an available candidate, when angry and half-educated parties were struggling for victory, necessarily makes him a poor leader,--rather no leader at all,--in a crisis like this. I have no confidence in the counsels about him. I have no confidence in the views of your son of York who stands at his right hand to guide the vessel of state in this tremendous storm. [Hisses.] That is right. I honor every man who expresses his opinion. I express mine; I would have every man express his dissent.
