The "most ignoble of mankind," James Buchanan, in November, 1850, in response to an invitation to attend a meeting in Phil- adelphia, said : "Agitation in the North on the subject of Southern' Slavery, must be re- buked and put down," (Horton's Life of Buchanan, p. 377.) This is precisely what in less terse and direct terms you advocated. For only in the "free States," in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- necticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, ...Illinois, Wisconsin, loAva, Minnesota, Kansas, Oregon, and Cal- ifomia,didyou urge thatthe discussion should cease. Above Mason and Dixon's line, you were anxious to terminate all "agitation " of of the subject of Slaveiy ; to seal, as re- spects it, every lip with the stillness of death ; and to palsy every pen — no matter how pro- found the reasoning, or benevolent the utter- ances, or polished and courteous the words used might be. u:But below that line, you were willing, eager, that "agitation" should pre- vail, without any limitations of time, place, or manner ; that the alleged benefits and ad- vantages of the peculiar institution should be freely debated, and be supported by "ri- bald jests," by coarse and rancorous in- vective, b}' perverted facts, by misquoted history, by sophistical argumentation, by the sciolism of a weak philosophy, by the sanctities and unwarranted teachings of the pulpit, bj' the prostituted eloquence of states- men, by the ferocity of ruffianism and the cruelties and brutalities of mobs.
