The subject before us is the appropriation of: three millions off dollars to enabledhe President to: erminate the war with' Alexico, and to procure art ;acquisition of ter ritOry ; slid_ the immediate: question is upon the adoption of what is..known-as the Wilmot proviso, which declares 'that there shall he - neither slat erY nor - involuntary -servitude in any territory which may be hereafter , annexed to the United States, Having al ready 'expressed 'my sentiments upon the former subjett, t Shall now confine my remarks to the latter. • 2 ; • And, - sir, in the first 'place, 6ttch a declaration would he a - kind 'of legislation,not only abstract i in itself, but,.under the circumstances of the coun try, ill-timed and injudicious. ;V4re are engaged in a foreign war, which demands the united counsels and the united action of the whole country. The , issue, Whether immediate or remote, whether pros-1 ' perous of adverse, is hiddentrim our view. Do i the best we can, we shall be greatly divided. Some doubt the justice of the war, and many more its expediency; and tho igh I am with those who , doubt neither, and who think We had to choose be-! Itween war and dishonor, yet I cannot conceal from myself that these discordant opinions, if they do' not paralyze, must yet impede the national exer lion, and.operate, jn many ways, to prevent that vigorous action' so essential to prompt success. And we..have still another - class among us. whot I openly avow their hostility to the present condition+ of their country, and the determination, not mere. I [ ly to withhold all voluntary ail towards the pros.l ecution of the war, both as private and as public men; but also to exert their moral influence to ex -tend -these views, and to give practical etTect to their operation. i - Under. these circumstances, sir, it is obviouslyl the dictate of true wisdom, not to add internal dif-; (mollies to external ones; tulle's both are forced I upon us by invincible necessity. Of all the ques- I Lions that call agitate us, those which are merely ' sectional in their character al-e the most danger-I OUS, and the most to-be "deprecated. The warning; voice of him..who, from his character and services ; and virtue,.had the best tight to warn us,,proclaim i ed to his countrymen, in his farewell address, that! Imontnnent of wisdom for him, as I hope it will be of safety for them, how much we had to apprehend from measures -peculiarly affecting geographical portions of our country. The; history of the past furnishes us with pregnant lesions upon this sub., ject When such questions come, let us meet them. 1 ] as great questions should be met. with a single ! eye to our own duty, and to the interests of the Icountry. But let us not anticipate them, by anti- Icipating events which may never happen, or which, if they do happen, ruay bring with them the solo-I tion of the very difficult:es we are seeking, instead Of avoiding. We have yet made no acquisition of territory. and never may. We have, indeed, in the prosecution of the existing war, Liken possession of a portion of Mexico, and hold it by the r gni of-conquest. But our tenure is uncertain. &pend ing oponthe varying casualties of war while this I lasts; and then, if not sooner terminated, upan the, 'result of negotiations for a peace. We can mike i nci,perirtane.nt arrangements fir the government oft the tountry, till the right which cession gives is' lidded to that we have derived from congne-q. Nor I indeed do we seek to do a', for the pronmed amendment is to be operative only when we shall have made a permanent acquisition of the coon-, try, and added it to our own..! In the meantime, though it be a dead letter linen the statute book,: 1 , I it can only be placed there by quickening into life feelings and sentiments which. if slier mint cease, I let theni come, like other unavo,dable evils, but I which should never be involuntarily sought, for the I very sake of encountering them. We then, sir, are attempting, rvt to legislate for, , things as they are, but for things as they are not,', ; and as they never may be. We are abandOning l I the domain of the present, and are seeking to coa -1 trol, perhaps a distant, cert.iiiily a doubtful future 1 Under any circumstances, this prospective legisla tion can scaieely be reconciad With the theratesi of common prudence. But 'tinder those that ex-I ' ist; both foreign and domestic, it seems to me al rash experiment, - certain in the injury it will in-1 . flict, but uncertain in the advantages it proposes i to obtain. • The questions it Will raise, and the ex citement that will attend therm are obvious to all. Already their bearing has been shadowed -forth in the discussions that have started up; and hoth the , topics and the temper that 'have presented them•; ' selves are calculated to produce the worst effects at bome-end abroad. If thei subject were legiti- , .mutely before us. and a practical decision were called for, it should be met' with wisdom, wish calmness, and with moderation. Butsufficient un to the day is the evil thereof.' When , We acquire the territory, it will be quite time to provide. for its government. We may, indeed, fight the haute , now, and whin it is over, leaving all its heart. 1 burnings behind, we may twilit has been fought in vain, and that we have nothing left for our pre. mature dissensions but unhappy recollections at home, end the contempt of the civilized world. This amendment is not prOposed as a condition of the cession to be made to us. To do that, it I must be incorporated into a' treaty, and Mexico would thus become a party, having a right to in terfere in our internal instittiti.ms left by the Com stitution to the State governments, after their ad mission into the Union, upon an equal footing, as they miiSt be when admitted, with the original members of the Confederacy; I presume there is • not a Senator or Representative in the National Legislature, whit would thus grant to a foreign power the right to inquire 4fto the conduct and constitution of the sovereign States of this Union; and if there are any, I am not among them, and never shall be. To the people of this country, now and hereafter, are its destinies, tinder (hod, committed; and we want no foreign power to in terrogate us, treaty in hand,!and to to say, Why - have you done this, or why-have you omitted to do that? Our own dignity, as well as the first a ttri. butes of independence, repel Such it proposition. If, then, this clause is not to enter into the com pact of cession, what effecilis it tti'have? It is ' not an ordinary act of legislation, within the ac customed power of Congress's fur it neither ope rates upon American territory, upon American citi zens, nor upon American property. Nor does it pro • pose toestablish a system for the regulation of arose having a right to become stich. It is declarato ,ry of what? That slavery shall not exist in any territory hereafter to be acquired. But no territo ry hereafter to be acquired can be governed with out an act of Congress, providing for the organiza , Lion of its goverment. l'hat is the very first step in its progress in the new career opened to it; till then, no legitimate authority can be exercised over it. And when Congress comes to act, it will act upon the subject matter, controlled only only by the treaty of cession; if, therefore, ade claratory clause, like that proposed, is adopted, it would be but a dead letter, and without any prac tical effect. It would not operate upon the coun try now,.for it does not belong to -us; and if it should become ours, Congress, when it legislates, Would be free to legislate upOn its own views and responsibility, without bent& at all restrained by an abstract declaration, binding nobody, and opera tingl on nothing. ~, i But what sort of a speetaere dOes this proceed. . ing present to-the World? Disguise it as we may, it is a Mexican cession We are lOoking to, and Mexi can territory we are preparing to govern. - We are ' gravely stopping in - the midst , of our legithnate du- ties, while deficient supplies, la defective organize- tion, an insufficient force, demand legislative-ac- t t o ici r n t ; h a e n m d - a w an hi s le of th p e ro se Pre c u s t i i d * neg'l papreavliignogrotuosulys. t th is e war - and - successfully, we are stopping in order to regu late the condition of countries extending to , the Pacific Ociatt,-and which, if they are ever ours, Must become so after the vicissitudes of war shall have established our rpotter,land,redueed the ene- I my to submiasien. :I dOulftlif history furnishes Wither such instance of legislative farsightedness.

'Circumsta'nces May arise which May render this arrangetnitita'proVident one and, therefore ii-prOper one. - But dliiiiidicatibite Oepula-', I lie opinion,` Which reach tii !from Mexico and a.. mongst these, not the least insiknificant, is he oath taken by her President to consent to no concession of Mexican terraria% asgaitge procedure, brottg i bt . abdis' na - tioubt t liy theptiblic. agitation:of this td. pia,lbesa, indications, -say, satisfy Rte thiit putforih -all our, strength, and to conquer the olystinate injustice of: the Mexican peo- R l o_•bkOt-poWei of our : amis. When this is done and the sooner tits (lulus- the better it will be'dime -re-can then count up our injuries and losses, and seek an adequate compensation for them agree ably to the usages of nations. In the meantime, this dsicussion, With'all its circumstances, will be as well known in Mexico ins in the United:States. That mighty agent, the press ; will proclaim it there, louder than .a voice 'shouting from every heusetop in the republic. And what must - a. high spirited people think of the speatack exhibited here? And the Mexicans; we must remember,' possess many traits of the Spanish; character. What better mode could be devised to irritate them, and' to unite them as one man against•us, than the very procedure we are debating? Who believex we should have purchased Louisiana of Napoleam or, Florida of Spain.. had such preliminaries as thesel preceded the attempt to negotiate? How should we have denounced the arrogance of England, during the late war, had her Parliament gravely attemp• ted to lay down a principle ler the government 'of a portion of Massachusetts or Virginia, which sit.. intended to acquire? It is to be regretted, that tidal appropriation could not have been made without an irritating public discussion. And it is still{ more to be regretted, that the original question ofd 'acquisition, should be complicated with another,l which enlarges the field of controversy, and intro duces still more irritating topics into the debate.l Looking at the critical relations Odell exist be-' tween the two countries, it is quite cm:night to an pounce to Mexico our desire to purchase a portion l of her territory, and to provide the means for do ing so, without exhibitingsuch a-confidence in the successful result, as to accompany the measure with a plan, either total or partial, for the -goYern-, menu of the region which we seek to annex to our Confederacy. For myself, sir. individually, I have doubts, as I' stated before, of the policy of :toy step, except a' direct vigorous prosecution of the war. I am afraid that all other measures are proof to the, Mexican people, that we are halting in our pur poses, and have undertaken a task beyond our ability to accomplish. ' I listened with great attention and pleasure to the eloquent remarks of the honorable Stoator' from Louisiana, made in the Senate a few days since, and I fully coincide with him in almost all he said. I dissent, bevies - cr. from him in Nl° rota !in the suggestions, that reviewed attempts at nego tiation should be made by this Government. What was the opinion, in the letter from Mr. Sli dell to Mr. Buchanan, of December 27, 1545, 1111 S become history. "The desire of our Government to secure peace, will be mistaken for timidity," &c. It has been so, and I trust the error will not he renewed. The Mexican Gosernment and peg ple know that we desire lease. The administra tion has proelaimed it in its official acts. It is pro claimed authoritatively, and unanimously, in these Halls. It is proclaimed by the American press. Avid, what is n'ore powerful than all -this, it is proclaimed by the public sentiment of the Ameri can people: Why, it is only two days since, that o e introduced into the diplomatic bill, an np propriation tar defraying the expenses of negona bons, vinyl the very debate in which we are rug's ged, furnishes irrefragible proof of the strong de sire foi peace, which animates es all; rind myself; as strongly as any member of this body. The sentiment is in our hearts, and its expression upon our tongues. My objection against the initiative !Ming_ again taken by our Gni errim nt in proposi tions fur negotiations, anises out of the tear that they raT-ill not produce peace, but will continue the scar. thin true motives are, misureferstood and tnisrep• reifies:cute.' ; and w list is re a lty dictated by a spurt of forhearance and moderation, is contested into proofs of timidity and weakness. There is no doubt, in Mexico, U. strong instinctive love of country, lf tai eh, under a tropical sun, gives rise to etcited feelings. and to paroxysms of fierce se tion. Iltit there ii no such wholesome !nadir opinion there as here, and no sueli niean,st of puhlte information, nor such a people to understand s, o l appreciate them. It is übkiiitis that the strangest views prevail. there. The must trilling disaster on our sideis-sepreseuted as a victory on theirs.' An offer to negotiate is an acknowledgement of weakness. A messenger of peace is rudely driven: from Mexico, under the pretence that he camel as a minister and not as a commissioner. And it is announced, with a gravity which would be truly; ridiculous, were not the subject so vast a one, that' our armies must withdraw front the territory old . Mexico, and our fleets from the Mexican coast, before their Cbovernment will cter consent to o ne-1 ,- time. Retire, they say, go home, and then we will treat with you. I regret to hear any prom. sitions or discussions relating to Mexicin negoties , tions, brought forerun! in either branch of Coin geese. These topics had better he left to the Exec.' utive, who can act discreetly became lie can act deliberately, and without public discussion. If we provide the necessary supplies for the prosecution of the war, and watch vigilantly the course of the Gots riment—correcting errors where they exist, r we shall hate performed an important part of our 1 dut3i, leaving to the i'resident to push the war vig urotislv, and to embrace any favorable opportunity e • ;o negotiate vi bleb presents itself. ; V o heliet'e this course of action better becomes !oar character and position among the nations of the world. We seek . b.it justice. That is perti• nacionsly withheld from us. Before the invasion of our territory, we ! made repeated attempts to !bring our disputes with Mexico' to a peaceable sol a lion, and since then we have attempted to bring the war, which she commenced. to a peace ful termination. We have failed in all these ef forts; and, unfortunately, from being misunder• stood, they have aggravated, rather than diminish ed, the difficulties of our position. We have dis. charged our duty to humanity, now let us discharge it to ourselves. Let us march onward, till the ; past is atoned for, and till the future is guarded by reasonable security. But, sir, indetiendent of these considerations, arising nut of the!yery nature of the subject, there are two other questons, eminently practieal,which connect themselves with it, and . which it is our, duty, charged us we are, by our country with her' gravest interests, maturely to exatnine. The first !relates to the prosecution of the war, and the other Ito the acquisition of territory 1 Should this proviso become a law, I consider it I extremely doubtful whether the war could be fur they proiseeuted; or I might say, indeed, it would not be „prosecuted at all From the feelings magi tested by twodiftbs of the House of Representa tives. and by a moiety of the Senate, it is obvious that future appropriations would not long be made. No one here will call in question the correctness of this opinion. Divided, as we arc, in our views respecting the justice and expediency of the war, we cannot doubt;that with this new element of, irritation and ditTerence, no calculation whatever could be made upon legislative action, or upon the aid that would be given to the Executive. I find myself supported in this view by an authority, which commends itself, at least, to one shle of this, Chamber. In a letter written from this place, and published in the New York Courier and Enquirer,l of the 18th ultimo; the writer, who I suppose is the editor, and if so, certainly well informed re specting the views of the party to which he be longs, says: "The adoption of the Wilmot proviso, it is conceded in the political circles, wall do more to terminate the war, than any legislative act that could be devised ; as much, almost, as a refusal of supplies." I do not concur with the writer in-all his political speculations in this letter; - but in his statement of the effect of this measure upon the prosecution of the war, I fully coincide: and I do not expect to bear's single member of this body express , his dresent from it.

And all this, while the • bounties of Iletiven, both physical and moral, are . . ,kareridine * upon u s , riot lit.e the silent dew, but in one unbro ken stream of unmerited kitithiess.

It will be quite in season to provide for the governmeitt of territory, not yet acquired from foreign countries, after we shall have obtained it. 3d. The proviso can only apply to British arid Mexican territories, us there are no others corer minims fo is. Its phriosealogy would reach either. though its application is pOinted to. Mexico. It seems to me, that to express so much , confidence in the successful result of this war, as to legislate at this time, if not over this anticipated acquisition. at least for it, and to lay down a partial basis for its government, Would do us no good in the eyes of the world, and would irritate, still more, the Mexican people. dth. l,egislatiOn now would be wholly inopera tive, because no territory, hereafter to be acluired, can be governed without an act of Congress, pro viding fur its govniment. And such an act, on its passage, wotild open the whole subject, and would leave the, Congress, called upon to pass it, free to exercise its own discretion, entirely uncon trolled by arty declaration found on the statute book. . 6th. There is ;great `reason to think, that the adoptiou of this proviso would, in all probability. bring the war to - un untimely iisite, 'by the effect it would have on ftitUre operations. , Gib. Its passage would certainly prevent the ac quisition of one foot of territory; thus defeating a measure called for by a vast majority of the American people, and defeating it, too, by the very act purporting to establish a partial basis tot its govern in en t. The progress of public opinion upon the ques tion of the adoption of this proviso, as the circum_ stances of the coontry have become more and mole difficult, seems to me to indicate very clearly, that since its introduction at the past .session of I Congress, the conviction haebeen- gaining ground that the present is no time for the agitation of this subject; and as the foreign war becomes more em barrassing, in a *mei:degree, than many antici pated, it is best td avoid a domestic dispute ' which would raise bitteii questions at home, and add con fidence to the motives.for resistance abroad. And certainly the factlnow ascertained, that .the war would be put to Imaard, and thaacquisition of ter ritory defeated, by the adoption 'of this - proviso, renders it impossible for me to vpte for it, connect. ed, as I deem botti of these objects., with the dear: est rights and hodar of the country. I have examinild the resolutions, which have been presented'to :Congress by the: * Legislatures of eight of the States upon this subject, and find, that this proviso is a measute.perhaps not called, for by any of them, certainly not by six of them, and that its simple adoption at . this time will leave unattained the permanent objects sought by all of them.

T o the Public I,WERY medicine offered t o the public should ,4 have at leak the three following qualities, in order Ps entitle it to public confidence: First—lt should be the re'sfilt of medico/ knowledge, combined with long experience, and not the produc tion orguessworkor ignorant quackery. Efecond—lt shofild be recommended fur but one disease, - Or class of diseases, and not for every "ill to which flesh is heir," for the public may rest assured theta medicine which professes tocure all diseases, seldom, if eve's, succeeds io curing.any. Third“-Alier a medicine has bleii before the pub lic a reasonable length oftime, theßroprietor should be able to furnish the testimony °int)* sclablesersons, persons known to the communi4, that they have been bcnefitted or cured by using his medicine; and such ciiclence should be.produced from year to year, for if a medicine is nod this year it ought to be good the next, and the maker of it should be compelled, by . the people, so long as be offers it' for sale, to give the certificates of persons who are known, that it is really a good medicine. If this was dose, the public would net.be longer humbugged by lies and mantfactured certificates, gotten up for the purpose ofmaking money out of worthless medicines, at the expense of health, and Mien the lives of those who use them.

Second—The Liver Pills•have never been recom mended as a Panacea for every 'disease to which the human family-ire subject, —for honeslyfortido.such a course—but expressly for thoae conirqaints caused by a diseased liver. = I Third—The reader will find, in a pamphlet pub lished for gratuitous distribution, sufficient proof, of the moat satisfactory character, (from persons of high standing in society, physiciana and clergymen, and men and women of truth, well known to the COM, MUnitil in which they lire, who could not be perativ ded to aid in imposing upon-the public,) to justify the statement, that Sellers?
