Of 110111,111 CiItOLEPA,

• Arad Norti. --
Derwinw ma dm Rom of lirpresrataiimm Impart tt, lea
Sir, I give the North full credit for its feelings In
teem of liberty. I can well suppose that northern
gentlemen wcitild resist, in the most emphatic man=
ner, the attempt to make any man who is now free
a slave; but I regard them as too intelligent to be.
lister that humanity, either to the slave ortbe max.
tar, requires that they Shoed be pent op within a( •
territory which, after a time, will be insufficient for
their subsistence, and where they must perish tram
want, or from the collisions that would occur be
tween the races. Nor can t suppose that they .
think it would be injurious to New Mexico and'
California for our people to go and settle among
them Prominent northern statesmen, both in this
House and in the Senate, haws described the pop
ulation of those Territories, and have represented
it es being not only inferior to those Indian tribes
that we know most of, viz., the Cherokees and
Choctaws, but as being far below the Flat Heads,
Black Feet, amf Snake Indiana. I cannot, there
fore, suppose that they really believe that those ,
territories would be injured by having infused into
to them such a state of society as produces such
persons as George Washington, John Marshal, and
thoasand other great and virtuous men, living and
dead. Your opposition to our right will be regard
ed as resting on the lest for political power of four
phliticians, or on the rapacity of your people.
..
The idea that the conquered people should be
permitted to give law to the conquerors, is so pre
posterously absor I, that I do not intend to argue it.
Doubtless these ricripte would be willing not only 1
to exclude slaveholders, but all other Americans,
if, by a simple vote, they were allowed to do so.
I may remark ftirther, that but for the anti-slavery
agitatlen, our southern slave•holders would have
carried their negroes into the mints of California
in such numbers, that I hare no doubt bet that the
majority there would have made it a slave -holding
State. We hare been deprived of ail chance of
this by the northern movementi, and by the action
of. this House, which has, by northern votes, re
peatedly, from time to time, passed the Wilmot
iiroriita, so as in effect to exclude our institutions,
without the actual passage of a law for that pit.-
pose. It is a mere farce, therefore, without giving
our people timelo go into the country ; if they de
sire to do so, to allow the individuals there, by a
vire, to exclude a whole class of our citizens,—
This would imply that the territory belong . :d to the I
people there exclusively, and not to all the people
of the rnited.States.
Should we give way, what is to be the result!
California, Oregon, New Mexico, Deiteret, and
Mite:seta, will come into the union in less than
five years, giving the North a clear majority of ten
or fifteen votes in gib '2remste The census of the
coming year will, tinder the new apportionment,
give them nearly two to one in this House. With
immense controlling majorities in both branches,
will they not at once, by am cf Congress, abolish 1
slavery in die States! Mr. Adorns, who, in his
day, controlled northern opinion on this question,
said that there were twenty provisions of the Con
stitution which, under rennin circumstances, would
give Congress the power. Would not this majnn.
ty find the potter, as easily as they have done in
their State Legislatures, where they have complete
away, to nullify the provision of the Constitution
tor the protection of fugitive staves! Have not
prominent northern politicians, of the highest posi
!ions and the greatest influence, whose names are
well known to all gentlemen an this Qom, already
dotterel' that,there is nothing in the Constitution of
the United States which obstructs or ought, to oh
retort the abolition of slavery by Congress in the

blessings of the Federal Union, and a-k us to he

Tbey have, too, constant examples in the conduct
of brute animals, that do not struggle against evils
until they begin to feel pain. They are doubtless,
also, encouraged tramper for oar stibinissirm on ac
count of our acqpieseence under their former
wrongs. They knew that the evils already Inflict
ed on us, to which I have referred, greatly exceed
in amount any injury that Great Britain attempted
when she drove the colonies Into resistance. Be.
sides sir, their aaressions have infinitely less
show of constitutional right or color of namal jus
tice. But whit they now propose is-ton palpable
--even foq our southern generosity. If after having
been free for seventy years, the southern States
were to consent to be thus d eg raded an i enslaved,
instead of the pity, they would meet the scorn and
contempt of the universe. The sue of this gener

thank God that there is no one in my district that
'I think so meanly of, as to believe that he would
not readily come into whatever movement might
be necessary for the protection of oar rights and
liberty. I tell northern gentlemen, who are in
hopes that the South will be divided, that we shall
not have half as many traitors to hang, as we did
T
ones in the Revolution.
I submit it, then, Mr. Chairman, calmly to north
ern gentlemen, that they had better make up their
minds to give us' at once a fair settlement; not
cheat no by a mere empty form, without reality,
but give something substantial for the. South. We
might acquiesce in the Missouri compromise line.

we could have all on this ride of it, op to about the

whole of New Mexico, an having the mountain
chain and desert on the we t, obtain a proper fron

But when we ask .for justice, and to be let alone,
we are met by the seaseless and insane cry of
" Union, union ! ' Sir, lam disgusted with it.—
When it (tames from northern gentlemen who are
attacking us, it falls on my cars as it world do it a

these things come horn southern men, I have even
less respect far them. Even the most cowardly
men, when threatened with personal injury, do tot
usually announce in advance that they mean to
submit to all the chastisement which an adversary
may Choose to inflict: And those persons who,
seeing the aggressive attitude of the North, and its
numerical power, declare in advance that for their
parts they intend to submit to whatever the major- ,
ay may do, are taking the best course to aid our
assailants, and need not wonder if the country ro

If northern gentlemen will do us justice on this

I vas pressing a Pennsylvania member to vote
agtlinte striking out that smuedment, which was
the pending motion, a member of high standing
from'Massaclusetts said to me, "You need dot
give yourself any trouble about this matter; if tie
do not succeed itr changing it, we shall prevent
sloption by having the yeas and nays on .motions
to adjourn, and calls of the House, till the end of
the session." From similar declarations made so
me by a number of northern gentlemen, as 1 have
enabled them to effect their purpose, if the motion
to change the character of the amendment bad
failed. It is not long since, too, bat another
zen of Massachusetts (Mr. ions Davis) defeated
.the two million bill then pending in the Senate, by
speaking till the end of the session. As northern
gentlemen have therefore been accustomed to this
mode of resistance to such measures es they do
not like, I take it that they would hardly complain
of this kind of retaliation.
I tell gentlemen that ; if we cannot in *dram*
get a fair settlement of - this question, I should be
pleased to see the civil and diplomatic bill, the
army and navy bill, and all other appropriations,-
