f Truth, Right, Freedom, and Humanity. Such a conservatism is not narrow and exclusive; but broad and expansive. It is not trivial and bigoted; but manly and generous. It is the conservatism of the Whigs of ‘76. Let me say, then, that the Whigs of Massachusetts are—I hope it is not my wish only that is father to the thought—the party who seek the establishment of Truth, Freedom, Right and Humanity, under the Constitution of the United States, and by the Union of the States. They are Unionists, Constitutionalists, Friends of the Right. And the question here arises, how shall this party, inspired by these principles, now act? The answer is easy. In accordance with their principles. It must utter them with distinctness, and act upon them with energy. The time, I believe, has gone by when the question is asked, What has the North to do with Slavery? It might almost be answered, that, politically, it had little to do with anything else, so are all the acts of our government<

the question cannot be limited to the District. Practically, it takes the whole country into its sphere. We must, therefore, act for the whole country. This is the exigency of the present moment. Now, to my mind nothing is clearer than the absolute necessity of the suffrage for all Colored persons in the disorganized States. It will not be enough if you give it to those who read and write; you will not in this way acquire the voting force which you need there for the protection of Unionists, whether white or black. You will not secure the new allies which are essential to the national cause. As you once needed the muskets of the Colored persons, so now you need their votes; and you must act now with little reference to theory. You are bound by the necessities of the case.
