The Eighth Lecture of the Course before the Anti-Slavery Society, was delivered, January 14, 1855, at the Tabernacle, New York, by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. The subject, at the present time, is one of peculiar interest, as touching the questions of Slavery and Know-Nothingism, and, together with the popularity of the lecturer, drew together a house-full of auditors. There were a number of gentlemen of distinction, occupying seats on the rostrum-among whom were the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, James Mott, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Dudley, of Buffalo. Mr. Beecher was introduced to the audience by Mr. Oliver Johnson, who said: Ladies and Gentlemen: The speaker who occupied this platform on Tuesday evening last, in the course of his remarks upon the wide degeneracy of the American Clergy on the Slavery Question, reminded us that there was in a Brooklyn pulpit, a man. We thought you would be glad to see and hear such a rara avis, and therefore have besought him to come hither to-night to instruct us by his wisdom and move us by his eloquence. I trust that, whatever you may think of some other parts of the lecture of Wendell Phillips, you will, when this evening's performance is over, be ready at least to confess that in what he said of the Brooklyn preacher he was not more eulogistic than truthful. Mr. Beecher, on presenting himself, was received with loud and hearty applause. He spoke as follows: The questions which have provoked discussion among us for fifty years past have not been questions of fundamental principles, but of the application of principles already ascertained. Our debates have been between one way of doing a thing and another way of doing it-between living well and living better; and so through, it has been a question between good and better. We have discussed policies, not principles. In Europe, on the other hand, life-questions have agitated men. The questions of human rights, of the nature and true foundations of Government, are to-day, in Europe, where they were with our fathers in 1630. In this respect, there is a moral dignity, and even grandeur, in the struggles, secretly or openly going on in Italy, Austria, Germany, and France, which never can belong to the mere questions of mode and manner which occupy us-boundary questions, banks, tariffs, internal improvements, currency; all very necessary but secondary topics. They touch nothing deeper than the pocket. In this respect, there would be a marked contrast between the subjects which occupy us, and the grander life-themes that dignify European thought, were it not for one subject-Slavery. That is the only question, in our day and in our community, full of vital struggles turning upon fundamental principles. If Slavery were a plantation-question, concerning only the master and the slave, disconnected from us, and isolated-then, though we should regret it, and apply moral forces for its ultimate remedy, yet, it would be, (as are questions of the same kind in India or South America, ) remote, constituting a single element in that globe of darkness of which this world is the core, and which Christianity is yet to shine through and change to light....

Clay Before the Young Men's Republican Central Union of New York in the Tabernacle, October 24th, 1856 Ness of individuality, without regard to his involuntary antecedents, and assigning him consideration and position according to merit only. The South represents the one ldea: the North - the other. It is true that when the constitution of 1789 was adopted, all these States, except Massachusetts, (four others having only initiated her policy) were slave states. But it is also true that these embryo principles were as distinctly existent in 1776, as in 1856. You of the North, were more especially the descendants of Protestant Christians - the followers of Luther, of Calvin and of Knox. You carried into your civil institutions your idea of Christian equality and liberty: and hence, when you framed the Constitution of 1789, it was easy for you to throw off that feature which was antagonistic to your avowals, and to conform your constitutions to the idea of true democracy, as it now exists in the free states of this Union. In this light of history, I stand here to defend you from the oft repeated calumny of mercenary motive in the liberation of your slaves. If some of the slaveholders of these states sold their slaves South, they were those who never assented to the political action of the North; and who never con ceived those glorious sentiments which, with overwhelm ing force, fashioned these institutions of the sixteen free states of the Union. On the other hand, although the leading minds and Patriots of the South, recognized in common with the North, man's equality before the law, and so far as political institutions are concerned; yet, the great mass of the Southern people did not con ceive or avow this great idea. They were mostly the descendants of the British aristocracy proper, the Sir Walter Raleigh's, the Lord Baltimore's. And the younger sons Ofthe nobilitv and their numerous adherents, who always exaggerate the ideas of their superiors. It was because these men did not recognize the idea of man's equality, as proclaimed by our Fathers, that the Federal Constitution was so long delayed. This was the great obstacle in the way of its formation, and its final adoption. And hence, although Washington, and Jefferson, and Madison, and Henry, and Lee, and other leading men of the South favored this idea, there still remained in the South oligarchial and despotic elements of government. Here, then, were the two distinct principles: the one despotic, and relying upon force: the other republican, and appealing to the better sentiments of mankind for its sanction. I need not say to you, that these prin ciples are incompatible with each other. Hence, not withstanding there was a peace and truce proclaimed, and an acquiescence in a common government, as ifthere was eternal fraternity: yet, there has been, of necessity, from the beginning, a conflict going. On between them, deepening and widening from 1789, until now, in 1856, they stand face to face, openly contending for absolute supremacy. I thank God it is so. As this question must be settled, the sooner it is settled the better. If oligarchy be better than republicanism, then let us accept it now. Let us not only Spread it over Kansas the Territories - over Central North America, to the Pacific, and to the Canada line; but let it come home, and take its place in these free states, as is its right. But if, on the contrary, Liberty is better thandespotism, as I have an indestructible faith that it is: and that you will so decide that it is: then let her take possession of the government, her legitimate domain, now. I know there is a very large class in every community who are governed by their idea of their material interestst.

Julian, of Indiana, on the Slavery Question, Delivered in the House of Representatives, May 14, 1850 In some of the northern States, colored people enjoy equal political rights with the whites. In nearly all of them they are regarded as citizens. But they cannot visit South Carolina, Louisiana, and I believe some three or four other southern States, without being thrown into prison; and if they are not removed from the State by the per sons in whose care or employ they came, they are sold into slavery. This is a most palpable violation of the Constitution of' the United States, which provides that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immuni ties of citizens ofthe several States. And when we send men among you to appeal peaceably to your own tribunals in behalf of such citizens men honored by their public standing, and clothed with official authority for their mission, they are driven out of your cities by mob menaces at the risk of their lives.

Clingman, of North Carolina, in Defence of the South Against the Aggressive Movements of the North: Delivered in the House of Representatives, January 22, 1850 Sir, the force and extent of the present anti-slavery movement of the North is not understood by the South. Until within the last few months, I had supposed that even if California and New Mexico should come in as free States, the agitation would subside so as to produce no further action. A few months' travel in the interior of the North has changed my Opinion. Such is' now the condition of public sentiment there, that the making of the Mexican territory all free, in any mode, would be re garded as an anti-slavery triumph, and would accelerate the general movement against us. It is not difficult to perceive how that state of public sentiment has been produced there. The old abolition societies have done a good deal to poison the popular mind. By circulating an immense number of inflammatory pamphlets, filled with all manner of falsehood and calumny against the South, its institutions, and its men, because there was no contradiction in that quarter, they had created ahigh degree of prejudice against us. As soon as it became probable that there would be an ao quisition of territory, the question at once became a great practical one, and the po liticians immediately took the matter in hand. With a View at once of strengthen ing their position, they seized upon all this matter which the abolition societie's (whose aid both parties courted in the struggle) had furnished from time to time, and diffused and strengthened it as much as possible, and thereby created an immense amount of hostility to southern institutions. Everything there contributes to this movement; candidates are brought out by the caucus system, and if they fail to take that sectional ground which is deemed strongest there, they are at once discarded. The mode of nominating candidates, as well as of conducting the canvass, is de structive of anything like independence in the representative. They do not, as gen tlemen often do in the South and West, take ground against the popular clamor, and sustain themselves by direct appeals to the intelligence and reason of their constitu ents. Almost the whole of the northern press co-operated in the movement, with the exception of the New York Herald, (which, with its large circulation, published matter on both sides, ) and a few other liberal papers, everything favorable to the South has been carefully excluded from the northern papers. By these combined efi'orts, a degree of feeling'and prejudice has been gotten up against the South, Which is most intense in all the interior.

Clingman, of North Carolina, Against the Revolutionary Movement of the Anti-Slavery Party: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, January 16, 1860 Slavery is the sin of not some of the States only, but of them all; of not one nation only, but of all nations. It per verted and corrupted the moral sense of mankind deeply and universally, and this corruption became a universal habit. Habits of thought become fixed principles. No American State has yet delivered itself entirely from these habits. We, in New York, are guilty of slaverystill by withholding the right of suffrage from the race we have emancipated. You in Ohio, are guilty in the same way by a system of blaclt laws still more aristocratic and odious. It is written in the Constitution of the United States that five slaves shall countequal to three freemen as a basis of representation; and it is written also, in violation of Divine law, that we shall surrender the fugitive slave who takes refuge at our fireside from his relentless pursuer.' You blush not at these things, because they'have become as familiar as household words and your pretended Free - Soil allies claim peculiar merit for maintaining these miscalled guarantees of slavery which they find in the national compact. Does not allthis prove' that the Whig party have kept up with the spirit of the age? That it is as true and faithful to human treedonras the inert conscience of the American people'will permit it to be What, then, you say, can nothing he done for free dom because the public conscience remains inert?

The task is siniplqand easy, as its consummation will be beneficent and its rewards glorious.

One of those misfortunes of the Cherokees, which led to your driving them off at the cost of the national honor in the violation of sixteen treaties, was, that they were charged with harboring fugitive slaves. The same was the great sin of the Seminoles in Florida, expiated in a stubborn conflict of seven years' dura tion, at the price ofi know not how many lives, and of at least twenty millions of dollars, (and nobody knows how much more, ) of which we of the North had to pay our share, sooner than Southern slaves should get away from their owners.

If, therefore, under its form, gross, injustice is done, insur rections excited, and the citizens of part of the States politically enslaved, then the Union ought not to stand, as an instrument of wrong and oppression.
