Harris, ] in the course of a very'able speech, in demanding further guarantees in connection with slavery, stated the value of the slave property of his State at . '$40, 000, 000. Sir, I find, from a synopsis of the census, whicli I took the trouble to procure, and which is before me, that North Carolina owns the vast number of 348, 377 slaves, worth ^'300, 000, 000. Think you, gentlemen of the North, that she will allow herself to be disturbed, in any way, iu ihe enjoyment of this immense prop...erty? If you do, you have mistaken her spirit, and you are ignorant of the character and nature of her noble people. I ask Rep- resentatives of the North, and, for my present purpose, I appeal lo the delegation from Massachusetts, as just men, and willing to be controlled in your action and votes by the golden rule, as laid down in the Scriptures of eternal truth and justice whether if the South had the power to control the legislation of the country, as the North' has, and should exercise that power by any legislation, jeopardizing, or depreciatino- or rendering insecure, in any way, ^300, 000, 000 worth of the property of the calcu- lating men of your State, nay, sir, one-tenth portion of that amount, would you, gentlemen, and would your people, meekly and quietly submit to such flagrant wrongs?
