It’s called the “Cornerstone Speech”. Skip down to the ninth and tenth paragraphs for the gist.

Stephens, for those that don’t know, was the Vice President of the Confederate States of America.

In paragraph ten:
”Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”
