[Applause.] But interventioniats say slavery is wrong, and can you stand by and seo a graat vKpgcommittod and not intorferu? Salmón 1'. Chase, who is a high prijst in the republican synagogue, said iioniu'orvontion is a cowardiy principio, ;md tlie republican party consider it their duty to interioro wherovor liuinanity calis. Do you hear that? Why don't vou innroh iuto Virginia? If tho constitution declares that . slavcry is vron2, it bhollld bo interforod with whorovor it extsts, if Mr. Chaso's intervention principies are correct. Jiu t they are not correct. Non intorvention ia tiie wisest principio ever dovisèd for human governtnerit. It saj's to tho btrangur, you shall not deterinlne how your dislant í ello w-man should bo governed. Just look at it. They have a law in 3Iasachusetts that a foreigjier shall not vote for tvvo years after boing naturali.od. Why don't you ro down therc and protest aguinst it? Don't you soe it is a great wrong? But it bclongs to them to euro it. To earry out tlie prin ciple of ntoryenlion, yvu mus. go back to the posilion of tho old liberty party and declure Ihat ''the constitution is & covonant with death and a league with huil." "When Mr. C:;asu s;.id that nónintervcnüon had its origift when Cain slew Abel, thut it was falso, cowardiy, and diabólica!, ho knew vcry w'ell that it is a principio for whicb has boon shed the best blood that over flowed for fret'dom. But Mr. Chase is not sound in theology. The fïrut murdor came froin tho interventiou of the devil him self, win went iuto that family to interiore with their mannging thoir doinestio affairs ia thoir own way. [Laughter nnd applnuse.] The itfrlest intorven','ionist inay be iound in that charactet'. Dr. Johnson, tho old, !, British tory, aid that thu dovil wras the lirst wtalg, Bccuue he was tho first rebel. Ho is also the first intorventionin, and his fol lowers inay go where thflt Fcaly indi vidutd alwuys loads. [Laughter and renewed cheoring.J Tire principie oí' non-intervention in the principie of mind your own business. You have a right to interiore in concerns of friondship and peace, but not to go out ot your Bphere and interfvre in the domestic concerns ol unothor. Suppose you tbííifc your noighbor is not very wiso in his dprne?tiü relations, nnd you foei il your duty to interiore. Why, ymi might be gooq running away with his wifo. - ftkighter.] IIow do tho people o( the Territorifs view this Mibject? They don't want you to send your Jim Lañes thero or to have the MiSsoutiatia interiore; they bimply want to bo left idonc nid govern themselves. And I appcal to nny of my republican friends it' tho principle of interventiou i not unfair, unwise, mnjust nnd impolitic. Am I bot rïilit when I say that it will bocomo au ainiizeinent if the people of tho Stute of Michigan do not rise ns one man to sustain the principie of non-intervontion? [Crios of "Yes," and cheers. That is the principio of peace, concord ainl ffatörnity throughout the Republio, apd tlis othcr is tho " irreprcssiblo coufllct " !
