J. 91. EUAG'H, OF NORTH CAROLINA, In the House of Representatives, Feb. 7, 1861. The House having under consideration the report from the select committee of thirty-three— Mr. LEACH, olVNortl; Carolina, said : Mr. SPEAKER: Infinitely the most momen-tous question ol tbo age, and probably the most important one in '.he future history of the world, is presented for consideration to us who sit around the council-board of the nation—the Representatives Ol the freest Gov-ernment atid the greatest people on the face "f 'he earth. An I, fir, 1 am sorry that I can bring but little ol the prestige of public service, or pub-liunttttiott lo give force and consideration to Any tliiiisr I may be able to say. some the administration of the General Gov-ernment. Arid you should come to the res-cue promptly; for it is in vain to talk about de ay until after the inauguration of your Piesidcnt. I greatly fear it will then be too late. The excitement of the country is be-coming too intensified to wait longer. The people are growing impatient, and are every-where asking, why nothing is done? It would be regarded as a great piece of folly to wait until the dwelling is burned down, and then to call out lustily for the firemen and the en-gines; or, alter the patient is dead, to call in the physician to ascertain the nature of the disease. "Folly made drunk" could not more fatally err. No, sir, unless there is an imme-diate return to the obligations of tho Consti-tution, and a recognition of the equality ofall the States, and a guarantee of the rights of the South, by the people of the North, in view of the rapid progress that revolution has already made, peace cannot, I fear, be much longer maintained, or the Union much longer be preserved. Why, sir. the first great difficulty in tho way t' an amicable adjustment of our differ-ences, is the sad and startling fact that the broad *gis of the Constitution no longer spreads its peaceful and protecting shelter over thirty-three States; but six have already, with erratic eccentricity, shot madly from tlitir orbits, and from the system in which they have heretofore revolved so harmonious-ly. They have left the great sisterhood, and are essaying to set up for themselves. Mr Speaker, let us so legislate as to bring j them back: not by menace, not by wngingari was precipitate unjustifiable and unwise and that in acting thus thoy have shown them ■elves wanting in respect to their sister slave States; especially when it is remembered that but for this withdrawal, and che conse-quent retiring from these Halls oftheir respec-tive delegations, there would r.ave been a de-cided majority in both Houses of Congress against the incoming Administration—with the power, therefore, to have controlled the legislation of the country. This should have been considered ; and all honorable and peace-ful means should have been exhausted before taking a step involving such tremendous is-sues, aud fraught with such fearful conse-quences. But has the South no cause of complaint of northern hostility to its interests, and of northern aggressions ? Sir, I maintain it has two hundred million dollars—two thirds of ibe entire exports of the country : and the work up of tho raw material, in Great Bri-tain alone, affords constant eraploj meat to four million operatives. And this" is exclu-sive of tiie great amount annually consumed in the manufactories of your own northern States, employing many thousand laborers. I will not detain the House by giving tbe statistics showing tbe great value of slavo la-bor in tho production of sugar, tobacco, rice, and the cereals. The South thinks slavery is right; you think it wrong. Tbe South thinks the system is a humane one, and thut the Southern portion of this l>ion pres-ms the highest type of civilization; you think differently. Let it be so without quarreling.

Representatives of tho North these troubles have been brought on by your gradual tut persistent encroachments upon the rights of the South, as manifested in your personal liberty bills; your exclusion of the South, with their slave property, from th.: Territories, in derogation of the* decision of the Supreme Court of the United Stales in the Drat" Scott case; your denial ot property in slaves upon the quibble that they are "per-sons" only ; and this too when you know that slavey existed in twelve oft ho original thir teen States at t'o time ofthe formation of the Cons*iiatioo,and that it is recognized in that instrument, and when, but the other day your leader, [Mr. Corwin.] so distinguished as a statesman and a lawyer, said in bis speech: production of valuable staple* and'commodi-ties that enter so largeiy into the commerce of nations. To China, the produt lion of^ tie tea plant.; to India, the growth of ihe poppy ; to France, the produ< t of the, viio'.f and :o our own country, the production of that great and indispensable staple of jetton, that controls tho c m Ben e of the wmld. And vvhiieottier iiaiions an I countries nurture and protect, with zealous watchfulness and con-cern, their national auutopo/iea, it is reserved to our nation alone to piesent to tho balance of th.-civilized world the singular lolly and suicidal policy of bringing into ,K>wer a dom p ant party, organized in direct hostility to that section ol our common eonntry, and thai torni of laboi which actual experience has shown can alone produce our gr-at muitopi.ii/ of cotton. The gentleman from Maryland [Sir. 11 AH Ris.] in the onisc ol p. veiy able speech, i; demanding fui'her guarantees in connection with slavery siai-d the value of ihe slave properly ol his Slate at 810,000 0 0. Sir, I find, from a s\ nop i- oi the c tin- which I t..ok the trouble lo procure, and which is to-furerae, that North Carolina owns the vast number ofi5-ls.;{77 slaves, worth £:!(> 1.000,000. say that man had property iu man; but there was a ! Think you, gentlemen of liie NorIII, that hhe "He look'd upon that as property which owing a man labor could becoroerted into value in goods or money. That he called property. He did not mean lo relationship existing between a slave and his ow..er which was recognized by the United States, iu this. to wil : that every State recognize* the right ol a mas-ter to establish his claim to a runaway slave. That relationship which existed between a man who owes labor and him to whom it is due was called slavery.''

It would bo the mere creature Thus have I briefly summed up the main grievances, cither existing or threatened, of which tbe South complains. I have done so, I trust, with no improper feelings, and in no spirit of menance, bul wi h the view of pre-senting those grievous complaints and wrongs which my section oi the country baa been sub-jected to for years, and tho State I have the reasonable demands of her people, and as will hod to a settlement and pu. ilicatioii ol our sectional troubles.

Representatives ofthe North, 1 appeal to you and 1 ask you, if those grievances are not real I Do they not exist, and should they not b;> redressed ? You know in jour con-sciences tin y are real; that they "do exist; and you feel in your hearts, as fair-minded men, that they ought to ho redressed. You have the power lo do it; will you exercise il? I have the highest authority tor saying that the grievances alluded to -xisl. and that the complaints ofthe South are just. 1 get this ooroborstive testimony from ex-Presi-dent Filliuorc. a pal riot and a Stuteman ; anil although residing in the North, he is a juot and righteous man, and fair to all sections.— ' lo reply to a letter from Mr. Dix. notifying nun ol n.s app 'intmciitas peace commission-1 Consii'oti ii.shall fail to meet the question in tin- spit it, will he held, in m\ judgment, not only ton painful res..- iisiliUif. at t,e to. rum of conscience, hut will deserve and re-eeive the execrations of millions living ami millions yet unborn, to say n..tiling of . u.ir-lul retribution bereatler, when the motives aril actions of men shall be gales of eternity !
