[Renewed applause. ] Louisiana will adipt it before her; KentucKy, perhaps, may adopt it before her. They may como into the kingdom, when the children of the kingdom shut themselves out. [Applause. ] But, my fellow-citizens, is that enough? Is it enough that we have emancipation and abolition upon the statute books? In some states of society, I should say yes. In ancient times, when the slaves were of the same race with their masters, when the slaves were poets, orators, scholars, ministers of ...state, merchant. S, and the mothers of kings, — if they were emancipated, nature came to their aid, and they reached an equality with their masters. Their chil- dren became patricians. But, my friends, this is a slavery of race; it is a slavery which those white people have been taught, for thirty years, is a divine institution. I ask you, has the Southern'heart been fired for thirty years for nothing? Have these doc- trines been sown, and no fruit reaped? Have they been taught that the negro is not tit for freedom, have they believed that, and are they converted in a day?
