] You say that we must follow you. We choose to follow the old landmarks. That is the complaint against us. Now, Mr. President, I have shown, I think, that the dominant majority here have nothing to complain of in the legislation of Congress, or in the le^slation of any of the States, or in the practice of the people of the North under the fugitive slave bill, except so far as they say certain State legislation furnishes sonic evi- dence of hostility to their institutiops. And here, sir, 1 beg ...to make an observa- tion. I tell the Senator, and I tell all the Senators, that the Republican party of the northern States, so far as I know, and of my own State in particular, hold the same opinions with regard to this peculiar institution of yours that are held by all the civilized nations of the world. We do not differ from the public sentiment of England, of France, of Germany, of Italy, and every other civilized nation on God's earth ; and I tell you frankly that you never found, and you never will find, a free community that are in love with your peculiar institution.
