'That luminous and freedomf-loving sheet will probably recuperate" by proving to its readers what a tool Webster was In the great debate alluded to, Mr.

Webster said What rio they (the plaveholders) mean by We certainly do not deprive them of the privilege of going into these newly acquired territories with all that, in the general tsiimute of human society, in the general, and common, and universal understanding of mankind, is esteemed property. Not at all. The truth is jnst this, They have in, their own states vvhlclv create property in persons. They have a system of local legislation on which slavery rests while everybody agrees that it is against natural law, or at least against the common understanding which prevails among men as to what is natural The rial meaning then of southern gentlj-men, in making this cone plaint is. that they cannot go into the erritories of tlie United States, carrying with them their own peculiar local law, a law which creates property in persons This, according to their own statement, is all the ground of complaint they have.

Now, here, I thick, gentlemen aro unjust towards us. How unjust they are, others will judge generations that will comb after us will judge. It will not be contended that this sort of personal slavery exists by general law. It exists only by heal law, I do not mean to deny the vnlidity of that local law where it is established, but I say. it is, after all, local law.

It is nothing more. And wherever that local law docs not extend, property in persons does hot exist. Well, Sir, what is now the demand on i. a m-v liie park uttvui ouuuiiui mviiup i xury 'rv we will carry our local laws with us tjJ. rvl- tf dent.

Friends, Neighbors, Fell nut ftlin It is true, as yon have reminded me, that I have reached at other and important stage in a journey that has occupied eight months of time; and covered ten thousand miles of space the last stage a stage beyond which I can go no further. Although in this journey I have traversed no small por tions of four' continents Europe, Asia, Africa and America it is not until now that I have found a place which, above all others I admire the most and love the best. This place-f this. very spot on which you stand and I stand among you, is, indeed, the one point on the globe which, wherever else I may be, draws me hack by an irresistible spell the place where when I rest I must dwell the only place where I can be tent to live, and content, when life's fitful, fever shall be'bver, to die It is the spot cherished in my affections above and beyond all others above and beyond the spot where I was horn above and beyond the scenes in which I was trained and educated adorned and marked as those localities of ray earlier i 1. i ii life are, muuniaiu anu river uy oiue skies and genial clime.

It is a spot, cber ished by me above and beyond the scenes of my severe labor of any arduous ment, and, if I may use the expression without offence, of tiny personal successes. I love it more than capitol ot my native state, although in that capitol I have borne the baton of civil authority confided tome hy three millions of free, brave, and en- lightened 'people. I' love it 'more than' the Senate Chan.bVr,mofe than the Senate Cham berof the great confederate Republic of which we are all although in that Senate Chamber I am authorized, wit one other' representative. to pronounce the will of the leading member of that 'confederacy. (Heany applause.) I should not despair of vindicating this preference by comparing the natural advantages and the social develop ment of the valley of the Owasco with thoeo of any other place that you Of.

I have ever Lakes, meadows, forests, are here, which are nowhere surpassed and comfort, ease, intelligence, enterprise, and. morals that may justly challenge comparison in any part of the 'globe. But I will be- can-. did, and confess that, my partiality stands upon a simpler and more natural logic. I nrefer this place because- it fo- my place xou may as well be candid also, and confess' that you like it best becacse it your place.

It is true, my excellent friends, that abroad who do bot know ibis attractive snot so familiarly, as I do, criticise 'Sometimes 1 wiw Hicruv, aiicv uuiut to tuesa aus.i; massive prison' walls which are just before me, and tell as that tboy. mar tho. beauty' and detract from the graces of our out you ana l. never see tnosa walls, or we do, they appear to as only as tho boua- i dairies of a field of active labor, produtttve industry, and benevolent instruction. So': sometimes these distant critics are pleased say that they think; that who now staod.

before you, am not an object worthy of any such consideration as you are now betowh)g -on me, and you, I am sorry to cay, do not seem to be much affected by that objection. Applause. I prefer this place because it is the only one where I am left free to act in an individual, and not in a representative na'n your eualjand yOcr like-cio thing more nor less, nor; difTerent. OurrliJtims with each other are the simple ones of domestic, private life Acocg yea I who, Are my phytteiaps, ray priests, my counselors And clients, ray kinspan not to speak of my children those who are debtors to me 1 am sorry they are so few, and thos who are-ray creditors, lss rthat the I trust, honest and just-debtors, liberal and tolerant creditors. We are all liberal though not unconscientious as Christians.

We all worship whom we please, and as we please, and do cot quarrel withy each other about our respective preferences. We all speak for such principles, and vote for such candi dates it wo and watch, each other pretty closely on election day; but whin tho votes are. cast an the result announced, we go away about our business, forgetting the disputes of the canvass in short, we are frer and easy in our social intercourse and if anybody abroad wishes to secure the good opinion of any of us, his best is to speak as well and judge as kindly as he can of all of us. Applause. Sir to Mr Myers you have kindly recallad what I am sure I not altogether have forgotten, that thirtyuseven years ago this day, after migra ting by a long (stage coach journey of days duration from my native region, I opened toy law -office, at the age of twenty one, in an humble building yet standing Dot not now as men, stanaing aionc, ana sat down without acquaintances of any character to wait there for my -first client' and first friend.

Many of those who then in activ6 life have since gone down ino honored graves. Peace be to their ashes, and honor and affection to their memories. But there are yet survivors enough: and they too arc yet hale and vigorous men, whose presence reminds me of the incidents of that early, and to me important period. Sir.

Judging from thecustomary feminine decorum and modesty preyail among the ladies of Burlington, we assume that they are still unconscious of the novel rights and prerogatives with which the New Year invests them.

Dkar jNot having seen any intimation in your paper that the year which has just made its Advent, is Leap Year," I conclude that the lact nas escapea your observation, as you are so prompt to ipform your readers of every thing worthy of record, not forgetting even to notice the rumor that, the worthy Mavor of Winooski. had been attacked by the Small Pox. Now, whether you were aware of it or not, it is a trath capable of mathematicsl 'de-monstration and the beautiful Belles of this enterprising town, lately shown, that they understood it, and were determined at the earliest moment to avail themselves of their Leap Year privileges. So, a Baker's dozen of the of this village, were surprised a few. days since by an invitation, to a Sleigh Ride, and Supper at the Addison Flense, onthex evetirrg of the 4th ins Of course not one of them was so un-gallant as to refuse, and when the time were all ready, and dressed in their bfpt, waiting with.

palpitating hearts, for the ringing of the Belles, who on this occasion were to be transformed into BeaiuxJ zi; The big sleigh of the Addison House, chartered for the ride, at the appointed time passed round, and after having taken in the Ladies who were to do the honors of the occasion, proceeded to' gather up the ex-Beaux, and soon the sleigh was filled to its utmost capacity "(some 25 besides the driver,) for the time, submitting to the pressure (with the greatest complacency.

It goes upon the idea that there is an inequality, unless persons under this law, and holding property by authority of that law, can go into new territory and there establish that local law, to the exciusicn of the general lawi Prciiddnt, it was a maxim of the civil law, that between slavery and freedom, freedom should always be presumed, and slavery must always be proved. If any arose as to the status of an individual in Rome, he was presumed to be free until he was proved to be a slave, because slavery is an exception to the general rule. Such, I suppose, is rrnp'ral law of mankind.

An 'individual is -r iiiv i 'to l)e presumed to be tree, until a law can be produced which creatf ownership in hisjper- son. I do not dispute the force and validity of the local law. as I have already said but I sav. it is a matter to be proved and therefore if individuals go into any part of the earthy1 it is to be proved that they are not freemen, orj else the presumption is that they Is there nqthing to be said on the other side i in i elation to inequality Sir, from the date of this constitution, and in the that formtd and established this constitution, and 1 suppose in all men's judgements since, it received as a settled truth, that slave labor and free labor do not exist well together. I have before me a declaration of Mr Mason, in the tnat iormeu me constitution, to that effect.

Mr MasO. as is well known, was rfc ji tP ITIi II. a distingusnea merotoer irum Virginia tpavs that the objection to slave 'later is that -it puts free white labor in disrepute that it labor to be regarded as derogatory to the character crtne tree wnue Trranr ana that the free white man despises to work, to ujse hisi expression, where slaves are employed, This'" is a matter of great interest to the free spates, if it be true, as to a great extent it certainly is, that wherever slave labor prevails, freejwhite labor is excluded or discouraged. I agree that slave labor does not necessarily exclude free labor totally. There is free jwhite labor in ia Tennessee and other-, states, where most of the labor, is done by slaves.

But; it necessarily loses of its respectability, i oaniAto1 witli'aliivA The freemen of the orth, therefore, have a deep interest keeping labor free, exclusively But, sir, let us look further Into this'alleg-. is no pretence tlat southern people may toot go into territory which shall4 be subjeoV.to the 'ordinance of 1787j The only rtstrsiut; that they shall not carry slaves thither, and continue relation, 'They say "this shuts them altogether fdt.i sir, there can be nothing more inaccurate in point 'pffact than this, I under stand that one-half the people who settled Illi-' nois are people, or- descendants of people, who came from the southern states, and I suppose thai one-third of the people ef Ohio are those, or descendant of those who emigrated from the South and I venture to say, that in tt those two states, hey are at this day aeUled by people of ionthern origin in as a great a portion as hey are. by people of north--' tin origin, acooidiog to the general numbers.
