render it impossible, in all future time,
for Confess lo interfere wit'.i slaveiy in

theso points, in regard to which they are
more sensitive, as in respect to your direct
intcrferonco in tho Stales, whore they
know and you acknowledge you havo no
poa er to Interfere as the Constitution now
stands! The fact that you propose to
give the assurance on the one point and
proemptorily refuse to give it on tho oth-

that you do intend to use the powers of
the Federal 3ovcrnment for the purpose

In uiy opinion, we have now reached a
point where this agitation must close, and
all the matters in controversy te finally
determined -constitutional amendments,
orwurand the disruption oT the Union are
inevitable- My friend from Oregon, Mr.
ltKER,l who basa-ldrossed the Senate
for tho last two days, will fail in Ins avow
ed purpose to "evade" the question. He
claims to be liberal and conservative and
I must oonlesa that he seems the most

could be evaded.
1 recret the determination, to which 1
apprehend the Republican Senators have
come, to make no adjustment, entertain
no proposition, and listen to no enmpro
misp of the matters in controversy.
I fear, from all the indications, that
they are disposed to treat Ihtt matter as a
party question, to be determined in caucus
with reference to its ctfectupon the pros
pects of their party, rather than upon
the prace oi the country and tlio safety ol
hhe Union. I invoke their -deliberate
judgment whether it is not a dangerous ex
periment for anv political party to de
monstrate to the Amerean peoplo that
the unity of their parly is dearer to theai
than ilio Union of these States. Tho ar
gument is, that the Chicago platform hav
ing been ratified by tho peoplo in a ma
jority of the States, must be maintained
at all ha.zartu, no matter what the oonsa-
nuences to the country. I insist that they
nre mistaken in the fact when they i-sen
that was decided by tho people in tho late
election. '''he American piwpla havo
not decide'l that they preferred the dis-
ruption of this Govern men t, and civil war, :
