'. C -It is a philanthropic and consoling reflection'Ar-e hey
-that the moral, and physical condition of the Af-
rican race in the United States, even in a state
of slavery, is far better than it would have been
if their ancestors had never been brought from
their native land. And if it should by the de-
cree of the Great Ruler of the Universe that
their descendats shall be made instruments. in
His hands in the establishment of Civilization
and the Christian Religion throughout Africa,
our regrets on account of the original wrong,
will be greatly mitigated. ,
_ It may be argued that in admitting the injus-
‘tice of Slavey, I admit the necessiiyrof airin-
stantaneons reparation of that injustice. Un-
fortuiitely, however, it. is not always safe, prac-
ticable or possible, in the great niovcmcnts of
States and public affairs of nations to remedy
or repair the inflictions of previous injustii-.e.— out to them through the agency of Nope-|
In the inception of it, we may oppose and de-
nounce it, by our most strenuous exertions ;
but, after its consumntion, there is often no other
alternative left us butto deplore its perpctration,
and to acquiesce as the only course, in its exist-
ence, as a less evil than the frightful consequen-
vces which might ensue from the vain endeavor
to repair it. Slavery is one of those unfortui'n1to
instances. The evil ofit was inflicted upon us,

Poland was not many generations back,

And here it is among and amid us, and
we must (l':.~*.pose ofit as best we can under all
the circumstances which surround us. It. con-
tinued, by the importation of slaves from Africa,
‘in spite of Colonial resistance, for a period of
more than a century and a half, and it may re-
quire an equal or longer lapse of time b('.fi)re
our country is entirely rid of the evil. And in
the meantime, moderation, prudence, and discre-
tion among ourselves, and the blessings of Prov-
idence, may be all necessary to accoinpli.-sh our
ultimate deliverance from it. Examples of sim-
ilar infliction of irreparable national evil and
injustice might be multiplied to an indefinite
extent. The case of the Annexation of Texas
to the United States is a recent and an obvious
one, which, if it were vrong, cannot. now be
repaired. 'l‘exas is now an integral part ofour
Union, with its own voluntary consent. Many
of u< opposed the Annexation with ~Il0{1(‘Sl3 zeal
and most earnest exertions. But. who would
now think of pcrpi-trating the folly of castizig
Texas out of the Confederacy and throwing
her back upon her own independence, or into
the arms of Mexico? \Vho would now seek
to divorce her from this Union? The Crooks
mid the Cherokee Indians were, by the most
cxceptionablc means, driven from their country,
and transported boyound the '-Mississippi River.
Their lands have been fairly purchased and
occupied by iiiliabitants of Georgia, Alnb:-.ma,
hlississippi and Tennessee. \\'ho would now
conceive the flagrant injustice of expelling ‘those-
inhabitants and restoring the lndiaii country to
the Cherokees and Creeks, under color of re-
pairing original injustice ? During -the \V:ir of
our Revolution millions of paper money were
issued by our ancestors as the only currency
with which they could achieve our liberties :ind
independence. Thousands and hundreds of
thousands of families were stripped of their
homes and their all, and brought to ruin, by giv-
ing crcditf§.nd confidence to that spurious cur-
rency. Stern necessity has prevented the
reparation of that great national injustice.
But I forbear: I will no longer trespass upon
your patience or further tax my own voice, im-
paired by a speech of more than three hours
duration, which professional duty required me
to make only a few days ago. If I have been at
all successful in the exposition of the views and
opinipns which I entertain, I have shown-—
lst. That the present ‘\Varwas brought about
by the annexation of Texas and the subsequent
order of the President, without the pi'evious
consent: and authority of Congress.
:?.d. That the President, being unenlightened
and uninstructcd, by any public declaration of
Congress, as to objects for which it ought to be
prosecuted, in the conduct ofit, is necessarily
left to his own sense ofvvhat the national inter-
ests and honor may require.
3d. That the whole war-making power of
the nation, as' motives, causes and objects, is
confided by the Constitution to the discretion and
judgment of Congress.
4th. That it is, therefore, the right of Con-
gress, at the commencement or during_tho pro-
gress of any war, to declare for what objects and
purposes the war ought to be waged and prose-
cuted. '
5th. That it is the right and duty of Con-
gress to announce to the Nation for what objects
the present war shall be longer continued : that
it is the duty of the President in the exercise of
all his official functions, to conform to and c:u'ry
out this declared will of Congress. by the exer-
cise, if necessary. of all the high powers with
which he isclothed: and that, if he fail or re-
Congress to arrest the fartlier progress of the
war by the uiost effectual means in its power.
Let Congress announce to the Nation the ob-
jects for which this war shall be farther protrac-
ted, and public suspense and public inquictudo
will no longer remain. If it is to be a war of
conquest of all, or any part of Mexico, let the
people know it, and they will no longer be agita-
ted by a dark and uncertain future. But, al-
though I might have forboriie to express ‘any
opinion whatever as to the purposes and objects
for which the war should be continued, I have
not thought proper to conceal my opinions,
whether worth any thing or not, from the pub-
lic examination. Accordingly [have stated
6th. That itsecins to me that it is the duty
ofour country, as well on the score of modern-
tion and magnanimity, as with the view of avoid-
tbe boundaries which would seem to be
fixed by a law far above the petty ambitions
and agitations of men. France has sent
forth magnificent Armies to conquer and
appropriate throughout 'thc last five ccn-
iurics—-she has sung Te Drums‘ for the
victories of her chivalry at Jerusalem, Con-
stantinople, the Pyramids ; among the
Alps, in Spain, in Italy, Germany; Poland,
and at the gates of Moscow. Yet her
boundaries are now almost precisclv where
they stood when she became a hation ;
they have often advanced, but a few years
saw them rcccde again. Of-all bcr mighty
eflorts for conquest, a grinding National
Debt is the only practical result remaining
to her. And do we know all this and nev-
cr think of profiting by it? Wliat is His-

THE LESSONS OF HISTORY.
More than seven hundred years ago, an
English King of the conquering Norman
race, seeing Ireland distracted and weak-
ened by intestine feuds and the rivalries
of its warring chiefs, resolved to conquer
and appropriate it. Undoubtedly, he
mouthed becomingly of the barbarism, deg-
radation and wretcbedness of the Irish
People, contrasted their intellectual, moral
and pbysical_condition with that of the
English, and vaunted his unselfish anxiety
to extend the blessings of Industry, Thrift,
Religion and Constitutional Liberty. It is
said that be procured the sanction of the
Pope for his enterprise, on account of the
good he meditated doing for the Catholic
Apostolic Faith. Seveii centuries have
passed: Ireland, long resisting fitfully,
savagely, unsuccessfully, has been con;
quered piecemeal and formally ‘annexed
to Great Britain, in many respects the
most powerful and free of the great King-
doms of Europe. But is Ireland renovated
and made happy by the conquest .7 ls her
Industry developed, her Labor well em-
ployed ? Has England been strengthened
or ,sensib,ly benefited by the acquisition fl
