Your 10,000,000 of the northern freemen allow 6,000,000 of slaveholders to get the upper hand of you. And by whose money, and by whose Uood is the country sustained 1 By that of northern men ; and there would be no money, if Northern men did not furnish it. dJ'BBOH IN NEW YORK 197 [Hisses.] The money to buy Louisiana came from Northern men ; and in Florida the blood of Northern men was shed in order that Northern men might make themselves -and their children slaves. [Applause and hisses.] Mr. C...lay. You hiss again ! Is it not true? If we desire to differ from former republics, and regret that they lived so short a time, let us ask^ why was it that their life, so glorious and so brilliant, was so short? . Because they had not a Con- stitution for which they had any reverence. They had the same despotism that we suffer under to-night — the despotism of num* bers. And if I had a choice to-night, so help me Heaven. I had rather live under the despotism of the Emperor of Russia, or the Sultan of Turkey, than under the despotism of numbers.
