"I call the gentleman to order, under the 31st rale ef the House, which requires the speaker t 6 cnnfine himself to the question nncer.debate, and is not in' order tor the gentleman to discuss the merits of the Califogiia bill on the question tow pending."

Not until to , day, tad from the gentleman from Illinois, [Mr. Mc- CrERNANaI had he heard this charge of a desire , h defeat the appropriation bills, made upon the Stands of freedom.

The gentleman from Illinois [Mr. McC.) may, in his conception of things,it as a miserable vo. cation for men to conte nd re i ll :c i reestly„ seriously, and manfully for the advance of freedom, for the tri umph of truth. The gentleman may regard those efforts only as noblesand praiseworthy, which are put forth in the cause of slavery propagandise; and which are rewarded With the smiles of slate holders and the prospect of office. A "miserable agitaticel" .. indeed, stand lip here and battle against the selfishnese of the day, to utter unwelcome truths in the ears of lordly masters, to expose the schemes of unchastenecl ambition, to labor to bring back this Government to the policy of its founders, to insist that the policy of Jefferson, and,the lathers of the Republic, should be applied to the Territo. . ries of this Unioa. He (Mr. W,) could tell the gentleman from till ,nois [Mr..McC.] how this agitation, which he so much deprecates, might have been avoided, Had Representatives faithfullr ed out the will of their constituents, the q 'on of slavery In our Territories would have n settled three years ago, by the extension to them of that provision of the ordinance of t 787, whieheprohibia slavery ex cept for crime. •Of Mir there can be doubt. He (Mr. W.) had said before, and he repeated - now, that when the prolisci was brat introduced, there were but two northern votes against it in this House. One was that of the gentleman from Illi nois, and the other that of his then colleage, now a member of the Senate, (Mr. DouaLsas 'I That provision, which the gentleman has teamed from his southern allies to denounce as most, infamous, not only received the approval of the Representa tive& from the free States, but the unanimous and spontaneous approval of the people throughout every free State in this Union. The people by every form of expression e ndorsed it. Legisla tures,by unanimous resolutions endorsed it. Had the public voice then been faithfully obeyed in this, and the other wing of the Capitol, all that excite ment and agitation about which the gentleman de claims with such genuine southern feelihg, would hive been avoided. The question would have been settled without agitation, without excitement, and in my judgment without leaving behind any very serious • heart buntings upon the feelings of our southern friends True, sir, they might have been ignorant of the merits of their distioguished champion, the gentleman from Illinois. The coun try imght have never known that it held within its bosom, one of such broad, such comprehensive, *uch exalted patriotism. This. he (Mr. W.) eon *rased, would have been'a serious lose to the coun y, and a great personal sacrifice to the gentleman from Illinois; but one which, be trusted, would have been ch eerfully made, Co avoid that agitation which so alarms and disturbs the, gentleman. 1 Mr. Chairman. it has become quite common for certain gentlemen, distinguished alike for their pa triotism and modesty, to claim for themselves that thestand upon a broad and national platform; : to denounce all who do not take position with m, as narrow-minded, sectional, and fanatical. rteiv Is slavery national, and freedom 'sectional 4 He (W..) had been taughfhy the fathers of the republi can school, that freedom was broad Sr. national, and slavery local and sectional. For this great doctrine he bad struggled here, and for this he should con tinue to struggle, with all the feeble powers God had given him? This great doctrine of the univer sality of freedom, as one of the inalienable rights of man, and of the local character of slavery, as a State and sectional institution, constituted in the early days of the Republic, an established article in the republican creed, Hence, the efforts of Jef ferson to circumscribe the limits of slavery—efforts gloriously successful in the establishment of the i ordinance of 1787-4 y which freedom was secnr ed to the State which the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. McC.J in part represents But for this ordi nance, which the gentleman now denounces as infamous, the curse of slavery would have rested like an incubus upon his own Stale. It wMild bare gone there in defiance of the ordinance, had Illinois, at'the time of the adoption of the Consti tution, been blereed, or cursed (her people will judge which) with a mipsrabundance of that broad and contlirehensive patriotism, of which the gentle man bouts. Instead of that tree !abor t which is fast giving to Illinois prosperity and greatness, the negro slave would have loitered in idleness upon Fier fertile fields, or been driven by the lash to his' , thriftless and unwilling toil. . He (Mr. W.) . had followed in the footsteps of Jefferson: belied traveled in the beaten track ot the fathers of. the republican party. His Miami had been to circumscribe slavery State lim its—not to interfere with it there, but to resist its spread ore theTerrones of the nation—to relieve the Government from all responsi bility for its existence or support,- leaving it to rest, where alone tt should rest, upon State sovereignty and Sutte ; laws. This question of slavery extension is a great pe cuniary question—a.quesdon of capital—of money. The immense capital invested in -slaves, as effect ually 'controls this Government as does the capital invested in the funded debt of Great Britian control that! The old proverb that "money roles the world," is as true in political as in social affairs.— ' The money invested in•slaves, wields the destinieti of this boasted free Republic. It shapes its policy to.its own ends, it elects its Presidents, and dis penses its vast aawonage; it proscribes its enemies. and exaltsits friends. So tar , as legislitiou, and all the machinery of Government is concerned, it in truth and feet; constitetes the Republic itself. Well informed southern men in this, and in the other branch of Congress,lave estimated the amount of money invested in slaves at sixtten hundred mil lions of dollars He thought the estimate a large one, but, that the sum is large almost beyond com putation, is certain. This vast money power, ex tending over half of the Confederacy, and binding together in the bonds ot a common pecuniary in termit half the States, dictates law to this Republic, and rules with a. despotism enrelenting as death. As a Democrat, he had ever been opposed to great mottled interests. The instincts of Money are the saute the world over—the same here is in the most grinding despotism Of Europe. Money is cold, selfish, heartless. It has no pulse of Inman ity, no feelings of pity or of love. Interest, gain, accumulation, are the sole instincts of its nature: and it is the same, Whether invested in manufac turing stock, bank stock, or the black stock of the South. Intent on its own Interest, it is Utterly re gardless of the rights of humanity. It would coin dividends out of the destruction of souls. Here, then, sir, we have sixteen hundred millions of capi tal--heartless, unkelingcapital, intent on its own pecuniary advancement. It is here, sir, in these Halls, in desperate conflict With the rights of ha -1 manity sad of free labor. It is straggling to clutch in its iron grasp the soil of the country—that soil Which is man's inheritance, and which or right should' belong, to him who abom upon upon it Sixteen hundred millions of dellars, demands the soil of Our territories in perpetuity for its human chrittles--to drive back the free laborer from his rightful beld of enterprise—from his lawful rind God-given Inheritance. Slavery must have a Wid er fish, or the money value of flesh and blood will deteriorate. Additioßal secunty and-strength must be giveu to the hidden, of human stock. What ~~isi-.~;.3a „ i:~=-...~9s r~:msaa..x „ a-t5:.,~rw......~x.. W v~a though humanity should shriek and wail. ill is insauate—capital is deal to the voice 4 pleadings. To oppose the estonsion.of slave to resist in the councils of the nation the dem, of this huge Money poarer,to advocate the right humanity and of tree labor, is, in the mailman' the gentleman fron; Illinois, to be sectional, fanatical.

Nowhere in She teachings of the " la h era" had be found it laid down, that Demoe • 3 sonsisted in wearing the collar of slavery a. u his neck—in bowing down td a heartless mon •y aristocracy—in supporting the extension of stay ry ever the continent. Such may be die doctrines ol the gentleman from Illinois. He may best subse e his political ends, by standing shoulder to should r with the advocates of slavery extension. He m y esteem that man a demagogue who boldly stan s up in the Lace of power, to defiance of all oppos, bon, the advoCate of truth, the inflexible Rippe •- et of princip'e. There are demagogues, howev r who succumb to power: who flatter the strong, deride the weak : who are :diva} s found in suppo of that policy beit calculited :o advance, their inter cats; who are ready to change opinions with achang dynasty ; and who ever lean for support upon sum, strong, and, as they believe controlling inteleat The slave power has so long held aseendency in this Government, that certain gentlemen seem to think that their political fortunes are secure nnly vrnen they stand in close alliance with slavery.— They lean upon it forsupport, they look to it for pro-1 motion; they tremble and turn pale at its frowns Many fear to stand on the rock of truth.unstippurted save by a consciousness of rectitude and duty, who sensible of their weakness, lean with their whole weight upon the Strong arm ol come great interest for support. Mr Chairman, (he continued) I am charged by the gentleman from Illinois with practicing, the arts of the demagogue—with keeping alive a " miser able excitement," to secure my own elevation to. office.. When have I been found at the footstool of power? When have I addressed myself"to propi. bate its smiles or its favor ? When hare I aban doned principle, and taken refuge in the arms of any great moneyed interest for succor and promo. lion ? When have I proved false to my ..profea sions, or my pledges? Who is my itemiser? No, sir, no ; I hare kept the faith ; I hare redeemed the solemn pledges given to a generous constitu teney—a constitutency, sir, that have stood around me, and sustained me, with a devotion and con stancy of which any man, the greatest in this na tion might well be proud • and, sir , I wonld soon er stand 'against the assau lts of a ItGus/old such as the gentleman from Illinois, than disappoint the just expectations of the humblest man who gave me his confidence and support.

It is but a short time since, wheethe Representatives from the Ninth who occupy seats e on the other side of this House were, to a man, the advocates of positive legislative prohibition against L s the extension of slavery. Ay! sir, was an "old e principle of the %Vhig party! A devotedly cher e ished doctrine! They MU always-optposed Cie n con trolling influence of Avery in the Government ! The Democracy had arways courted and succumb, ed to the slave powei:" Such, but a short time ago, was the uni versal language of northern _Whigs, in and out of Ibis House.

They are now wil lure to abandon the old policy of enforcing the or dinance of 1787. Indeed, they hare abandoned it for die 4, non action" policy of the late Executive. The new dynasty, it is said, favors a difleretit poli cy ; it is disposed, sh says rumor, to take passage in the omnibus, which has been lumbering its way for months through the Senate. If this be so, we shall soon see a corresponding change in the posi tion of party leaders. Leaders can change to order —the people are not so facile. The masses ex pect nothing,. ask for nothmg from Government, except just and a holesome laws. They love prin ciple, and follow it with earnest and hones: par pi-e, unless misled by ambitious and selfish met,. They want the old policy restored, they want se curities and guarantees for freedom—they want the Jeflersonian ordinance reenacted. If. by the Wive of circumstances our Teri itortes should Ire preserv ed from the threatened encroachments of slavery, and finally be admitted as tree States, (a result which non action leaves to the hazard of chance,) still slavery will have triumphed, it we fail to as sort the rights of freedom. The policy of this Gov i eminent should be Emmert now and forever. a:lainSt the Maher extension of slavery. This is rendered 'necessary by the startling demands ot slavery, of . its tight to exteud wherever the flag of the Citron floats.
