Sir, I will answer the gentleman's question by putting one to every member of the Committee. Admitting it to be morally wrong, how do you make \i politically right? You cannot, by any principle of philosophy that I have ever he. Ird of make that which is absolutely morally wrong politically right by legislation. Why? What power, askes the gentleman, in a tone of apparent triumph, have we, as the representatives of the people, to legislate with a view to promote public morals ? Is it possible th...at such a question is seriously propound- ed, and must be seriously answered? What power? What right? A power which is the foundation of all civilized Government. The first great object of all law — of all legislation — is to enforce that which is morally right, and prevent that which is morally wrong. It is to accomplish this grand purpose that Govern- ments are instituted among men. But, Mr. Chairman, let us i)roceed with an examination of facts bearing upon the moral, social, and political effects of slavery, and show how far Southern gen- tlemen, in the frenzy of their excitement, have suffered themselves to depart from the principles and feelings of their revolutionary ancestors.
