STANLEY, On Vie motion for an inanity into the late Defalcation! oj ruoite yrjjiceTi. ' Thuhsday, January 17, 1839. j Immediately after Mr. Duncan (of Ohio) concluded his remarks. Mr. Petrikin moved Ute l'reviout Queition, but at Mr. BiQiily'a sulicitation withdrew il upon Air, i Sinnly's promiaiug lo renew it before he eat down - Mr. Stanly the.i rose and an id he was not about to detain the House as long aa the Representative from Ohio had duiie. It is t;ow SO minutes past i o'clock, (said he.) We ave been con sum inn time by listening to remarks upon all sorts of subjects. Wo have hnd much upon extravagance and economy a most extravagant oration upon 1 matters and things in goneral, from the battles of Gwsar and Pompey down to the recent democratic disturbance in Pennsylvania. Yesterday the House adjourned for the gratification of the Representative who una jusl finished hie oration ngainst "Henry Clay," "corporations,1 "associated wealth," and what, in his elegant language, he colls "whigcry." The House has listened to all this wnn commenuanie patience, to (lie auuse ot wings, ami to the high prnises upon the new Senator from Ohio, (Mr. Tnpnnn.) Mr. Van Rurm, and Mr. Woodbury. I claim the right fora few minutes to reply to port of the speech just delivered, in the remarks t shall make, 1 will not attempt to answer the arguments of this defender of tho Administration upon all the matters he rcferrod to; I should consume too much time, end could not avail myself of the same helps. He is so great a favorite at the Treasury Department, he enn call on his "Dear Sir," Mr. Woodbury, and get all tho information he wishes. If a Whig should apply, as one did at the last session, he would meet with a refusal. Sir, he has had the utmost liberty, (he most unlimited indulgence, yesterday and to-day, I cannot, in courtesy or justice, De uentcu me ngnt to say a tew worus upon one subject to which he has alluded; I mean abolition. 1 shall not discuss tins aubiect, but I wish to call atten tion lo sumo part of the gentleman's language in refer ence to this, and to a celebrated letter written by him wtten lie was a camiiaate a lew months ago. It will be recollected, Mr. Speaker, that when I called the gentleman to order for irrelevancy when he was reading letters from his "dVar" Amos and his "rfcar" Levi, showing how many Whigs and how mnny Demo crats were in oflico in the Departments, the Chair decided (Mr. Connor, of North Carolina, was occupying the chair at the time) that the gentleman was in order. I submitted moat cheorfully to this; and I took the liberty of interrupting the gentleman, and asking him how many abolitionists there were among the democrats in office. To which he replied, with a pompous elevation of tone, and with a confidence which evidently defied con tradiction, tu at tney (uooiiuonistsj did not "heiong to that family." They were all among the "Federal wings," as ne calls them. Well, sir, I was glad to hear the insertion made on this flonr, and I witnessed with a smile the self-satisfactory whimperings of some slave-holding dcmncratJ at this declaratiuu from the bampson of locoiocois.ii. But I have the evidence in my possession to drive away thta jilcostng delusion. This declaration but af lurds additumal evidence ol the attempt which the Administration party are making to (moose unun tho South ern People. Out, sir, as for as T can, I will awaken the attention of the people of my district and my tttnte to the doings of their self-constituted democratic friends. But to the letter, the letter. I hold in my hand, Mr. Speaker, a letter dated at Mont gomery, Hamilton county, Ohio, signed UA. Duncan," in which tho writer gives bis views of slavery, I wish to read ao.no extracts to the House, and I respectfully solicit (he attention of the sluvcholdiiig democrats of tno caucus resolution-making deinoerats to the opinions of their trusty and wcll-bcloved brother in democracy upon the subject of slavery, I want to show them what a democrat in Ohio, who is no abolitionist, thinks of their country and their constituents. Towards the latter part of the letter the writer says: 1 here is no man living, perhaps, who is more deadly hostile to slavery than 1 am. My feelings, my education, the circumstances that havcaurrounded me through life, together with my principles of what I believe to constitute the natural and political rights of man all conspire to make me abhor it as one of the greatest evils that exists on the face of the earth." Mr. Duncan here rose and asked to explain. f course, Mr. Speaker, I will hear him explain, said Mr. 8. Mr. Duncan then said, that when he was asked the question, whether there were any abolition democrats, he meaut (o say, they did not belong to the Democratic party, particularly in his district and Slate. The letter was in answer to interrogatories put to him before the election. I can read it, said he. (Cries of No ! no !) I will then briefly state the contents. Here Mr. Stanly said : Mr. Speaker, I csnnot consent to yield the floor to allow the gentleman to "state the contents." I will do that for him, sir. I only gave way fur explanation. The short extract I have read, sir, ought nut to make the gentleman uneasy. It ie mild, compared with what follows. Bat listen attentively, ye exclusive guardians of the South, ye only good democrats, to the declaration, that slavery is one of the great est evnson tno lace oi tne cartn, and that this democrat is "deadly hostile" to slavery. Tho gentleman's uneasiness, I presume, is on account of bis Southern friends. They, in North Carolina, as I wss told by one of them, denied the authenticity of this letter: yes, sir, they pronounced it a forgery! The People bad been taught to believe that mr. van ouren had no abolition fn ends-no friends opposed to slavery. But here. air. we have, from the pen of the Representative from Hamilton county, O-hi-O, the outpourings of tnoro abuse, more hellish slander, deliberately concocted, on slave owners, than it bos ever been my lot to hoar from any avowed abolitionist Yot, sir, this same abhorrer of slavery, so "deadly hostile" to it, is, of all other democrats, the cboscnadvocate of the O lobe the chosen champion of this Southern-loving Administration. Another extract. 1 want lo give my constituents some information of the opinions of this personal and political friend of Martin Van Buren. 1 ne letter says, in continuation : "Yes, Krister in its moral effects and corruptinn ten dencies than all other human evils put together, his not only a moral and political evil within itaulf, or intrinsically so of the darkest and most damning character, but in all its bearings and efficts calculated to produce the most fatal clTectaon boihtho moral and the political institutions of our country." Here Mr. Duncan asked leave to explain nfnln. Mr. Stanly yielded for explanation) and Mr. Duncan said no was -not an aioiiiioniai; ana any niatviauai or any newspaper that floats on the breeie, that said he was an abuliiioniat, waa a vile calumniator." I it ore Air. ihouipeon,ol south Carolina, rose and called on tho Speaker to enforce the rules, and see that Suntleman who waa occupying the floor should not be his frequently interrupted. Mr. Stanly continued, I have viclded the floor with pi ens u ro to hear any explanations, but not to hear apeechra of defence. I must insist upon my right to the fliMir, and will not again be interrupted for speeches of inis character. Sir, 1 am not acquainted with the kind ef newspapers to wnicn tne gentleman relers. i have never seen any that lloated on tho breeie thai charged hi in with beiiiff an abolitionist. Sir, it would better become the assumed gallantry ol the distinguished democrat from Hamilton county, O-hi-O, who curries a ritlo for personal defrnce, to wait until he is charged with being an abolitionist, before he throws out such bold denunciation. I have not charged him, and do not now charge him, with being an ahaluionial, I am willing to admit thai he and hie newly elected Senator (Mr. Tappan) whom he has bopraiaed "as sound a democrat, and ae pure a uairiot, as ever honored the nam eat and, withal, of ihe first order ol talents, aud ot tho most unexceptionable deport mcnt!" are neither of them abolitionists. I am willinu to admit that they are both as good friends of the Pout as any Van Buren caucus democrats, who voted on the resolutions ol llio lUlli ol Ueccmher last I will take this letter as proof of their a (Tec t ion for tne South t or, il he pleases, 1 will tnke the reputed do elarntion of this "democrat and patriot." (Mr. Tappan.) about 1 he time of the Southampton insurrection, as proof oi nis "sounu ucmocracy anu pure patriotism," 1 am willing, I snv.sir. to believe they are not aboli tionists, I do not know what signification they attach to the words deuioerut and abolitionist. But air, I charge him with be inn the author of this letter, and ho cannot deny that. I charge it in the presetieo and henring of my democratic or Van Huron colleagues, and wish them no longer to consider this a forgery. But to the letter. The gentleman told us that he dealt in ti 511 res, aud from this letter I can prove that he dona deal as largely in figures of imagination as any mouther on tins Moor. Hear a littlo nioro iroin tins pat ent domoorat, this herald ol anti-aholition, ol Tapped democracy. Hear a littlo more of what he says about slavery, Mr. Tsitpsn as Id, If a man was suck a fhnl as '0 keen a IVI low.lirrnff in bond are, the slave has an twdouUvel rtf ht ro rut the lliroai of his e 0 master.

You see the free States happy and flourishing, lo the admiration ond astonishment of all who see them. Public improvements and private prosperity are swift and head in the race, while, on tho other hand, poverty, lean and hungry sterility, and squalid wretchedness, seem 10 cover the face af the land in many parts whore nave institutions nave n resiueuco." Would to God. sir. that tlioso who entertain such pinions could go into my district, or into yours ! How liferent would bo. their opinions could they visit the western part of our own North Carolina one of tke most beautiful and prosperous, though almost unknown, j ports of the world; "that good-land, a land of brooks' and of water, of fountains of depths, that spring out of : valleys and hills;" a land whose stones are iron, and I ut ol "whose lulls thou mn vest dm brass." Would to God, sir, that some reasonable creature, if any such there j ve, wiiu entertains sticu sentiments, couiu visit uty ate- 1 trict ! Instead of "lean ond hungry sterility and squalid j wretchedness," which this democrat says "covers the face of the land," he would find a hnppy, independent, and intelligent people; ho would pray Heaven to make the laboring classes in other parts of the world as free from waul, as contented as our slaves. Instead of barren deserts, perplexed with thorn, he would see countless thousands of acres in a high state of successful cultivation. He would see fields of beautiful green, ia spots which, a few years since, were untrodden save by the wild beasts of the forest, who roamed in undinputed sway. He could find cultivated fields on the borders of lakes, in my district, Welding as abundant crops as the choicest land on tho borders of tho mighty rather of rivers, and vicingin beauty withtbemostcnehantingscen-ery on tho Island of Calypso. And all this, too, wns brought about by slave labor. Yes, sir, there ho would sec, in our negroes, tho happiest population on the earth well fed, well clothed, and well treated. "Content, and cureless of to-morrow's fare," Ihcy perform their labor with cherfulness labor "Made the pledge Of cheerful days, and nights witliout a groan." Instead of finding a country upon which the "anger of God and the vengeance of Heaven seem to rest," as this democrat suya is the case where "slave institutions have rtndenee instead ol seeing men who are cruel "mur-orers, robbers and pirates." 7us abolitionists sometimes call slaveholders,) lie would hnd (in the language of the sacred volume I just now quoted) "a land of wheat and barley, and vines end fig trees, and pomegranates; a land in which we eat bread without scarceness." iuhab- led by men remarkable for hospitality, plain, unaaaum- ng 11 an 1 anu indomitable attucuiuent to republican in stitutions.

Speaker, I retrrct that 1 am indicting pain upon any member of tho party, but the gentleman from New York must bear it. Sir, he cannot save his friend from Ohio from having this shame- itii letter published to the world. I am rejoiced, sir, mat ma ruii-B 01 univr tins time are construed as iincr-ally for me as for the representative from Hamilton county, Ohio rules, sir, which, like tho inscriptions on the sabresof Vathek,huldanuthorlanguageto-dny from that tney yesterday nem,anu,iikottiose sabres, can only he deciphered by 0110 man the usuul occupant of that chair. Another extract, sir, from this letter 1 "Cross the lino that separates the free from the slave State, or stand upon it and look across the former i vou will sue comparatively all life, all happiness, all prosncr- ity, both public and private; but turn your eyes upon the latter and survey it t every thing material, (except a few of the wealthy proprietors,) bears the impress of poverty ana uuapiuation; an iook as 11 pestiienco and famine had bceu making their sad innovation."

It wremarKauie now tonu an tneso loiiowers ol Mr. von Buren are of railing against wealth. In this sentence we have a little of it. The gentleman's speech repeatedly referred to the uantirepubliean tendencies of associated wealth." He railed airninst the "moneyed osso-ciotions" of our country. The letter continues, sir (and I hope you will rememlwr that this coarse, horrible abuse is applied to North Carolina aa one of the slave-holding States) "The anger of God and the vengeanco of Heaven seem to rest upon every thing upon which you can cast your eyes. Every prospect seems lo bo withered and wilted by tlio frown and disapprobation of avenging justice and viulntcd humanity.

Now- sir. I ask vou if vosi have ever heard or rend from any avowed aboliiiouistsmoro horrible, shameful, miserable, malicious slander upon slave-holders and tho slave-holding country than I have here read in this letter from this defender of the Administration Did the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Adams) in all his intemperate, unjuatiliable remarks about slavery, ever asseil any thing half as abusive? Hns the gentleman from Vermont, Mr. Slade,) who is regarded an the great leader of the abolitionists in thia House, has he ever used expressions so unworthy a man of reeling, so unbecoming a Keprescntalive on this floorl No, air: no, air; neither one of them, or any othor abolitionist, has ever done the South greater injustice, has ever given exprea-sion to such detestable opinions. No abolitionist ever oitcrcd sentiments of mora venomous malignitv. And yet, sir, this msn who says slavery "involves in it, aa well in its present possession as in ita future operations. crime, Irsud, ihefl, robbery, murder, snd death !" who an) "but the tune be on the head of those who sustain such an institution" this individual is Who, sir?

At tho last session he published a speech, "by authoritv." which wss never spoken t and now, sir, we find him addressing letters to the heads of the Department., asking information for tha purpoae of enabling him to make some reply in fa vor of "the Administration and the Democratic party!" He tells us in his speech to-day that he had "information furnished him," and he has shown us, by the letters he readrfrom whom the information came.

Nothing, sir, but the rules of the House restrain me from exprraaing, iu language which my feelings would dictate, my abhorrence, detestation aud eontempt of the author of such scniimcnl. of this "dear sir" of tho psrty, of thie Caliban pet of Ihe Glebe, who writes thus of slsve-hol- ders, and thoa vetes with the south upon all caucus resolutions except Ihst which Isys petitions on the lablot Would it be unkind, Mr. Spoaker, to ask if the gentleman from Ohio attended Iheeaucusl Would it be reapeciful, sir, tu hint that these resolutions were so deliberately prepared, so'carefully worded, as to allow the anti-nliolition sbhorrers of slavery to vote upon them, and yet bo consistent? Could it hnve been, sir, that these resolutions were re-conaidered and amended to please such democratic friends of tho South as these anti-aboliliouists? Verily, sir, I suspect as much. Towards the conclusion of ihe Inter, the writer says "ho has not been able lo concur in abolitioniami" he "luara llio clfecls would bo mora fatal to the unhappy and unfortunate Afrieun than even alavrry iisell!" How kind, how full of philanthropy, how full of feeling fur the "MfinititN and unftirtwmtt Jlfrican!" but for the whites not n word of pily! Although not sn abolitionist, how kindly he speaks of tlirui : "It would be arrogance in me, and show a great wont of generosity and liberality, lo hesitate for a moment to believe that, in Ihe greater number of cases, the spirit of abolitionism Hows trotn any otlior than llie purest purest fountsins of chanty and humanity!" Mr, Speaker. I have in my comments come to near the end ot llio letter. I hopo I nave not wesried the lluiiae, though, impelled by my feelings, and excited by frequent interruption?, I may novo occupied more timo than 1 am aware of. Ilefore I turn away from this sub ject, Ict me read from the beginning of Ills letter tha answers to ths first and second queries! "Question 1st. Do you believe that Congress should maintain, unabridged, tho right of the People to petition for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia?" Hero Mr. Duncan, who was standing in front of Mr. Stanly, answered "I do." . . There, sir, hs comes out like a man, and answera that question here on this floor. We!!, ;ir, after speaking in favor of the right of petition, he says : "So long as I have a seat in Congress, I will receive and present abolition and all other kinds of petitions, proper to be presented. I will also move their reference to ihe sppropriate committees, and do whatever else may be proper to be done, lo bring the subjoct-mattor before the body in which I may have a seat, for its regular action. This furl would consider it mv unavoidublo duty; but os I am not interrogated as to. the balance of my duty, it is not oxpected that I should answer." A little of non-committal in this avoiding to answer when not interrogated. But then comos the second question ; and I want my democratic colleagues to hear this answer, and I call attention to the coincidence of opinion between the gentleman from Ohio and abolitionists oil this point: "Questioned. Are you opposed to the admission of any new Stale into Ihe Federal Union whose Constitution tolerates slavory?" Mr. Stahi.y read this question, ond Mr. Duncan was standing near him. and answered "lam." There, sir, said Mr. Stani.t, the gentleman nne answered tho qnostion himself, hero on this floor; there ia no Von Burcnisin in that answer; this is the first symptom of what he calls Whigery thnt I have seen in him, though I do not believe he has a Whig spot evon on the heel : he gives a plain, direct answer, "1 am." Mr. Speaker, hore we have from a democrat, a supporter, friend, end champion of this Administration, the confession that he is opposed to lbs sdmission of Florida into this Union. Huro, sir, we have the nuthorsliip of this letter admitted, ond the queries responded to in our presence Lot none of my colleagues heresftcr say this letter is a forgery ; let them see, now, in his true character, their democratic friend of Southern institutions, who voted so well with llicin on the resolutions of the I2ih December! ' Mr. Speaker, if anv ono of my colleagues should feel alarmed, either individually or for his constituents, on account of abolition) if he thinks lie cannot act with the Whigs, becsuso some of them era abolitionists, let mo ask him if ho will join that parly in which thia letter- writer is a great warrior i il, sir, no nics irom me emu, icy embrace of tho gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Slode) let me beseech him to nvoid the arms of the democratic representative from Hamilton county Ohio! Sir, I eould not predict the consequences oi sucn sn emorace. ne would be most horridly "absorbed." For my own pari, I had rather "Me in cold obstruction and to rot: This aeniltile warm motion lo become A kneaded clod; and llie delighted eplrit Tu ltlio In flery floodN, or to male In tlirllllni rations or tliieked rlbb'd Ice; To be imprisoned In the viwltM winila, And blown with restless violence round sbout 'i'lie pendent world : " Yes, sir, all this, rather than he the victim of auch absorption!It may be a matter of tnste, and it may be bad taste, but I had rather pass night in FulsiofPs buck basket rammed in wnn socks, toui stockings, anu greasy nap kins, "alllictcd bv the rankest compound of villanuus smell that ever offended nostril," than to undergo such a locnloco embrace! Mr. Sneaker. I have finished with the letter; 1 quit, I turn away from its disgusting details, with pleasure. I Here Sir. Duncan sum), Kond the whole of ihe letter. 1 Mr. Stanly said there ia loomucb of it, I can's! stand it. Let me read H, said Mr. Duncan. Air. S. Mr. Speuker, 1 wish lie had an opportunity of reading llio teller lo llio IIouso; I should like to see the Southern deinoerats listening to him ! If it is in order, I would make a motion that ho be allowed to go-to the Speaker's chair, and read, expound, and explain I should like lo seo the exhibition! Sir, I have not the physical strength to read and comment on the whole of that letter at this time; I have not strength of lungs sufficient to answer all the remarks of Ihst good democrat. Sir, a great part of his speech was about matters I did not nnderstand; he had much about "yelping and howl, howl, howling." If I should enter into competition with him in bellowing snd howling, I should be forced to I bring a buffalo bull or a prairie wolf in the House, and get their assistance. I hope he may have an opportunity yet of reading thia letter on the floor. I intend to send some copies of the gentleman's speech and of his letter into my district. Mr. Speakor, if you will allow me, I will send some into yours. I should like the good democrats there to know the opinions ol a friend of the South a democratic friend of die South upon slavery. Sir, I have aaid there was much of the gentleman's speech lhal I could not answer. I would not, sir, if I could. He told us a little of masons and anti-masons, of banks, of abolitionists and anti-abolitionists: he gave us, in a smaller compass, the contents of the olficin) nows-pspcr for weeks post, dressed up with statements from llio Departments, ready furniahed by "those who assisted him." Sir, I ask the gentleman to tell ua who those were "who assisted him." Were they his patrona, the editors of tho Globe I Were they his "dear sirs" al ll Treasury or the Post Ollico Department? I call en him to come out and tell us who made him tho advocate to make speeches lo support this loitering Administration. Sir, there wero other tilings mentioned by the gentleman, the besring of which I could not exactly see. He gave us the genealogy of mules. Mr. D. aaid in his speech the mule is "a nioagrcl beast, hslf ass, half horse ! "1 He, with many other hard namea I could not catch, told us something of one Cresors and one Hercu-lua; he did not say whether they were whigs, domoorats, or mules; he did not tell us in wli.l part of Hamilton county, Ohio,thoy resided. Ahoutsll these things I hove nothing tosuy.

Mr. Speaker, I have limahed with Ihe abolition pari of llie democrat's speech. This opportunity baa afforded me much pleasure, I have been preparing a letter to my constituents, to unmask the pal!ry,pettifogging attempts to impose ujwn them the belief that Mr. Von lluren's riends aro friends to slaveholders. I have not hsd time to finish that letter, having been loo much occupied by other business. Sir, I have panted anxiously for an op portunity ol saying on Una floor, lace to tace,ln presence ofthe would-be exclusive frloudsof the South, in pre sence ol Ibe Southern caucus democrats with Nurtliorn feelings, whnt 1 have said and slisll say to my constituents. I greatly rejoice thut an opportunity has been af forded mo of holding un in its true light to Ihe country the oliarnclor of llio Van Buren democratic friendship for the South. Mr. Hiw.k.r, if lb. Hon will pardon me. I wish to say a little upon a subject we hear much of, but see Utile practiced economy. The Uepresentntive from Hamilton county, Ohio, hnd a little "howling" upon this subject. 1 sm glad lo ace, sir, that the Administration begin to think of this) tho pony fuar the attention of tha People Is awakened. Well may they fear il, sir. Well may tney iiirmsn stsiemeni. lo inoir cnsmpion lo excuse their enormous increase of public expenditures incresse from thirteen to thirty-uine millions a year while lliey have been preaching reform and retrenchment. I cannot, sir, at tins lime, go into an examination of this subject, I have no "dour airs" at the Drpartmenta or else- wnero to sssist me witn tamca and statements, resny iur-nished fur publication. The gentleman hns the silvan-Inge of most of us. But, sir, lei me call his attention, and that of the good democrala who with him preach economy, to a few rxnmplos. I.el me ask him, sir, if he knows thai the chair in which you now sit. and which you Jill, sir, with so much dignity, cost ouu luinurru auu sixty. live dollars I Now, sir, when you are electioneering, and abusing the ailk-siockmg guiilleinrn, you do not lell your eoii.iiluenis Ihst you sometimes sit for nearly nan a aay in sucn a luxurious .cai, mu i,-ni u speeches from ono who thinks Ihe curse of (lod reels upon your country. No, sir, 1 believe, if your good democrats knew it, you would lose al least doien votes. Do you know, sir, that Ihe ornaments over the Speaker's chair coat near two thoussnd dollars? Now, sir, here is a silk-velvel chair, surrounded by ornaments of "bullion fringe, silk worsted, and India sslin damask" silk tassels, thirty-live dollars a psir, and all by democratic orders I There is nothing equal to it, sir, except the rooms of Eastern monrchs,or ihe fashionable parlors of pet sub.trensurers! Then, sir, go to the Sensle the democratic Senate-end look at ihe Vice President! Look at the distinguished msn from Ihe Great Crossings I There he sits, sir, as hsppy ss (iovemnr Snnoho, with a canopy over his hesd, and a golden eagle, who aoems to be enuoavoriiig to wing his lliiilii onl ol such cempanv. Thisonnle nnd canopy, 1 learn, sir, cost more than two thoussnd dollars I ' Poor bird! fluttering like a chicken tn apprenenaion ol a not gridiron! These tawdry ornaments are revolting, are dixgusting, I might say, sir, to plain American teste. It is to be regretted, however, sir, that they did not bring their damask covering a little lowor down, so as to screen Hie occupant of that chair entirely from- observation. There seems to have been a desire, in the arrangement, io aeep mm Dock a little to put Hun out ot tne way. 1 eould bat make another meloncholy observation, Mr. Speakeivaemy eyes vested on this flaring exhibition of locofoco Mate. : The nicture of tke Father of his Country -of Washington ia removed from the nlace new occu pied by the iron bora which. hold the gilded bird; is taken away trem its former position and placed back in the gallery, among; tie oeopJe,.ot of sight, sir, as his pre-ceptssic,of the majority of that body. Before, one who visited the Senate was involuntarily forced to say, "look on thai picture and on this." Well might the friends of the present oceupont ot mat seat Minnk Irom auch a com parison! But, Mr. Speaker, J fervently tope and believe that the time is fast eonting. when the ohasacter of lhal great men (Washington) will be dear to tha H.prcsenlslives of the People, aa it has been, and atill is, to the People inemsetvcs. inenrsir,joco!ocoism will disappear, ana , our republican institutions will be renovated; then, sir, ' and not till then, will our Government be honestly ad- ' ministered. Mr. Speaker, I thank she House for its kind indulgence i I did not inten to have trespassed half ae long. But for I the frequent interruptions 1 should have been less excited, and therefore would have said less, I promised the gentleman fr.m Pennsylvania to move the Previous Question. 1 do this, thcreioreyair, because : I made the promise. I do it with groat reluctance, and shall vole egaiset il myself. If the gentleman will per- ; mil it, I will meet cheerfully withdraw it. Mr. Petrikin would not coaseul, I regret, air, to deprive the Re- presentative from Ohio-vf aft.opportuuity of replying. I thank the gentleman, from Pennsylvania foi the courtesy ! extended to ue, and move the Provioua Question. . NOTE. i For tha National IntdUgtueev. In a nots at the end of the pamplM copy of Dr. Duncan's speech it isaasened, among othar things, thaf'Mr.-Slnnly, in the commencement of remarks, insinua- ' Ud that Mr. Duncan was an abolitionist. " Then sn apologetic cxplonation is made for the Doctor, stating that, in his letter, he "deprecatod alavery in the abstract;" and that he also "deprecated modern abolitionism aemie- , taken philanthropy, disorganizing in its tendencies, and in its character dangerous to the Union." Then the . Doctor is made to say that he u pronouncea the insinuation thai he was sn abolitionist a base falaehoodvand a foul detraction," ie. otg. Any one who will read Mr. Stanly's ipeecli will tea the unworthy attempts in this note to make a false im- Eression. Mr. Stanly did not charge Dr. Duncan with , cing an abuliiioniat; it is altogether untrue that lie made any insinuation of that kind. But he did oharge him with being the author ef llie leltsi brum which he made eo- i pious extracts; and Dr. Duncan, on the floor, admitted that he did write Ihe letter, and this ks virtually admitted in the note. But aoys the fumither of the note, Dr. Duncan deprecated modern abolitionism. And how does he "deprecate" it? tie says it ia "mistaken philanthropy," and fears it may endanger on happy Union. Batrthsi, lis-ten to the honied words iumediolely aster thia gentle reproof, this loving dissent. "It would be-arrogance in me, and allow a great want of generosity and liberality, , lo hesitate for a moment to believe that, in the greater , number of coses, the spirit of abolitionism flows from any other than Uie puree! fountain! of eharity end Auma-flity." Further, soys the Doctor, "I fear the effecnj ('of abolitionism') would be more fatal to the nnhappy aad unfortunate African than even slavery itself." This ia the reason why he deprcestes modern abolitionismris it? But, soya this favorite defender of the Administration, " I pronounce the insinuation thai I am an abuliiioniat a boso lalsehood, and a foul detraction," tic. 4 c. No man who wishes lo injure the Doctor never need tell a falsehood of him ; the truth will do him infinitely more injury. But what does he mean by thii sentence of his lei- ' ter: "I have ever been in favor ofthe eolonixation plan, of ameliorating Ihe condition of alavery, anal of finally , nMiihinK it within the United States!!!" lie ie no abolitionist; yet there ia ene plan he has alwaya favored, . for finally abolishing it within the United States! Abolishing what? 1 suppose he means "slavcrv in the ab stract." vcn, men, i will try io nctieve mat mr. van Buren Sc Co. are in favor of abolishing slavery in the ab- slrscl, but Ihst they justify slavery in the concrete; mat one who is in tavor ot "slavery in tne aosiract" is a horrible monster, a murderer,ond pirate, aa abolitioniata call slaveholders; but that a man who is a slsveholder, who jusuncs, encourages, supports sna aeiends slavery in fact, aa it actually exists, is a very good democrat and 1 pure patriot, provided he supports Mr. Van Buren. I am utterly at a loss lo imagine what ia meant by " alavery in Ihe abstract." Will the Doctor, or soma one of his "dear sirs," who " furnish" him with facia for speeches, (some one who has discovered that Croesua was king ol Ass-yna,) tell the world what is meant by-slavery in thenbslracl? Where does slavery in the ab stract exist? What miserable foolery! When he told Ihe abolitionists in that letter lhal he was in favor of aha i right ofthe people to peiition for theabolition of alavery and the slsve trade in the District of Columbia, did ha mean to speskof il "in the abstract?" When, bar answered the question, "Are you opposed to sue admia-sionof any new Stale into the Federal Union whose Constitution tolerates slavery I" by saying '4 am," did he mesn then "slavery in the abstract ?'" When he aaid in his letter ihst he abhorred "slavery ae. one- ef the greatest evils that exists on the face of the earth," waa thia meant lor "slavery in the abstract" When no ssid, "it is sn evil that has, does now, and will in all . time to come, while il eiists, involve in it, aa well in ita prtetnt possession aa in its future operations, crime, traud, then, rohucry, murder, anu aeain." uta ne rneaa this of "slavery in the abstract !" Let his own letter answer! in Ihe next sentence to the above outpourings of diabolical malice, he soys: "For tht truth of tonal lav as to its prtirnl enecia upon ina institutions ot our country, I have only'to refer you to a view of the slsve . i . : t, l. - .v.: . I. nl oiaie. in oiu union, uiv. n. wcui h. - w.vvry in the abstract ?" When he says, 'cross the line that sspsraics tha free from ihe slave State, or atand upon it snd look across the former; you will see comparatively all life, all happiness, all prosperity, both publio and private t but turn your oyes upon tke latter and survey ill every thing material bean ihe impress of povsriy and dilapidation ; all look aa if pestilence and famine had been making their sad innovation." When he speoksof the anger of God Burl ihe vengeance af Heaven resting upon every thing: When he .peases of every thing sickening and dying from the corroding enecia of slavery in tin iiim Statu? Whaay ha says, "but tha curse be on the head of those who sustain such an in stitution :" does ha mean alavery in ihe abstract? Not no reasonable creature can say any lliingelasisme.nl than slsvory aa It now exists in, lua Southern Btsles! his whole Idler waa upon slavery aa il exists in the U. Steles. He speaks of il as being tolerated at the formation of our Government, tec. and of ita trrtmt effects upon the institutions of our country. When wae it thai "slavery in the abstract" became an "institution?"This learned Doctor dcala aa much in .bslraolraruK I suppose when he speaka of freedom ha means freedom "in the abatract;" and, according lo his notions, a ma may be held in bondage la the will of the Executive, nay be bound implicity lo regulate his conduct accord ing to r.xecunve suggestions, may give un niaown-ngut to think for himself, and vet be a worm advocate of free. dom'Sn the sli.lr.et!"
