. We have no right to complain, and we do not complain of any policy which our confederates may impose upon their own citizens, in relation to slavery with in their own limits ; nor do we complain of the opinions of individuals in reference to it. Massa chusetts can send Abolitionists here if she chooses, and she makes a free use of the right. What we have the right to demand, and what we do demand, is, that they shall not impress their anti-slavery opinions upon the legislation of this Governm...ent. We neither desire to force our policy upon her, nor will we submit to have hers forced upon us. We offer her the power and the resources of the repub lic to protect her property. We require the same for ourselves. What object of material wealth, animate or inanimate, recognised by the laws of the northern States, have we ever failed to protect? None. When have we ever attempted, by legisla tion or otherwise, to war upon her domestic policy? Never. We have not only protected her wealtn, when created or acquired, but we have done more we have aided her, by our legislation, to create it.
