Sir, have we not fallen upon evil times, when men are thus denounced for maintaining thi3 grand truth? Dazzled, it may be, by its "glit- tering generalities, " we do, indeed, hold to these great principles in their broadest sense, without qualification and without exception of classes. We believe the great, learned, wise, and good man who penned that Declaration knew full well the proper phrase to express his meaning; and that when he declared that all men were created free; that all men were e...ndowed by their Creator with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness, and that these rights were inalienable, he meant precisely what he said, and nothing less. And we do most entirely repudiate the doctrine which is now so common with the De- mocracy, and which was recently approved by the distinguished Senator from Illinois, [Mr, Douglas, ] in a speech in the Senate, that this is all to be understood with an exception against a particular race ; and could I reach the ear of the thousands of freemen in this land who, it may be, are born to a life of labor — a life of toil — I would warn them to beware how they tolerate, much $ more encourage, this monstrous doctrine, and to consider seriously whether the same reasoning by which its advocates seek to exclude one race, may not very naturally and very easily be ap- plied to other classes, when the necessity, or even the convenience, of the more powerful inay demand it.
