Commiliee of the Whole. to investigate
and entwine int political sharacter. In
socordance with thaefteettotki of dismission
which has usually , ttharecterised our OW

that.porlion which reboot to our demesne

our ihnneslie policy. as being the most in
teresting the Norse wad the country.
But before I pro.leedto the examination
of that portion which relates ni she fue
-1 live bill, I will call the attention of this
House to the !'resident's views of the ve-
to power. On this point he has not hesi
tated to .pent his own ♦iewa, and to cast
aside and discord the docwhrecupon which
he was elected.
-Ira well biomes end in the towrope o
1848 the Whig party avowed it fl one of
their 'ciii.dibil pnnelples, that the President
should never texereise the prerogative of
vetoing it,billonless it was clearly nobenv.
stitutional. 'The President now gooses
afar in support of the unlimited use of the
veto as ever isekson„ or Polk or Tyler
professed to go.
For his boldness and his frankness on
this point he is en ti tled to ou r commendation.
lot I have a curiosity to see bow many
of his political friends will face about at
this bidding of4w Executive and discard
their former doctrines. •.
Set it is verrevidemt thatthe President
has an object is this• ehange of his, views
on the subject of the vote. By looking at
the hater portion oft& message. it is evi
dent he intends we shall understand that
he will' veto any led for the repeal of this
fugitive bill; violin ordet to open the way
to that result. with,seme show of consist
ency, it was necessary for him to discard
the doctrines on whidit he was elected.—
Fer his candor and boldness in Unlaces',
keg 'aside • the errors of his party, di think
him entitled to our arnwobation4
'The President ne*t quotes that portion
of theConstitutioev in which he says, addle
Constitution has made it the duty of the
President to see that the laws be faithfully
executed."
The necessity or propriety of this quo
tation is not •so very obvious. Ido not
think it has been quoted Ibr the last twentr .
five years by ;ray President; but it is eve
'lenity quoted in consequituoe of the diffi
malties which have attended the arrest of
fegitivestaveunnlerthislaw. It is an
raation that he will use the army' and na
vy to execute this odious enactment.' •
One proiniaent feature of the 'whale
message is, however, perfectly obvious.—
'The President intends that the South shall'
emderstand that he intends to sustain her,
inetiestions.

kens at each State shalt be entitled to all

I will now quote' with pleasure a semi
meat in which fully concur. The'Presi.l
den" says, That “every citizen who truly
loves the constitution, and desires the eon
tintmace of its existence end its blessings,
will resolutely and firmly resist any hoer
foresee in the domestic affairs 'which the
teelpitution has clearly 'and unequinuilly
left so the exclusive authority of the
States."
This, Mr. Chairman, is the doctrine of
the Constitution-4e doctrine of its fra
mers. It is the doctrine of the Free Soil
ers. If there ho any one feature in the
constitution which the whole history of its
adoption - has made plain, it is that Slavery
is a State institation over which Congress
has no control—with which this Federal
Government has no legitimate power to in
terfere. We, sir, of the North will not be
COOS trained, even by your fugitive laws, to
interfere with it. The Slavery of Virginia
belongs to her. If she possess the power
and the disposition to uphold it, we cannot
put it down or abolish it. If she sees fit
to abolish it, we have no power to inter
' fete to sustain it.

accuracy of the views which I have ex
pressed could possibly have been left us
record.
It was the intention of, those framers of
the Coestitution to *more to the master
the right to pursue and arrest his slave

Now, sir, with the 'President, I repeat.
that no lover of the Constitution will seek
to interfere in matters loft with the States.
We will not be made .to interfere with it;

the President.
Ile tells us "the law iv the only sure

sir, is said in direct reference to the 'fugi

I rejoice, Mr. Chairmen, that he has

Whig press in the North said plainly that
tha Preildent did net favor this bill, but
that he was coerced...that he'signed it by

to sign It. The President's views on

and made the eitiretts of Ohio and of all
' the free States the catchpoles to Texas
alavelitinters. \Veil. sir, Ido not say that
Northern men have lost all regard for the
Union. But ono thing is cattalo, that they
du nut leel that reverence for it which once
was so prevalent among us. They fuel, sir,
less attachment to it than formerly, They
now speak of dissolution without •Itesita
tion. And if the Union he eseiticil for
their degradation, by subjecting them to
thii fugitive law, they would greatly 'pre
fer to see it dissolved. On this subject I
feel no compunctions. More than eight
years since, with twenty other members
of this body, I addressed the people oi the
free States foretelling this stae of things:
"We hesitate not to say that annexation
effected by any act or proceeding of the
Federal Government, or any of its depart
ments, WOULD TIE IDENTICAL WITH DISSO
LUTION. It would be a violation of the na-
time' compact, its objects and and designs,
and the great elementary principles which
entered into its formation, of a character
so deep and fundamental, and would be
an attempt to eternize an institution and a
power so unjust in themselves, so injurious
to the interests and abhorrent to the feel
ings of the people of the free States as, in
our opinion, not only inevitably to result
in a dissolution of the Union, but fully to
jualify it. And we not only assert that
the people of the free States ought not to
submit to it, but we say with confidence,
'rum( WILL NOT swim To IT."
These were the sentiments of one of the
ablest statesmen of the nation. They are
the sentiments of the "old man eloquent,"
and of many distinguished Whigs of that
day. And, sir, we knoW that the predic
tion has been in part fulfilled.
Sir, the spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers,
that was manifested at Bunker's Hill, at
Saratoga, and at Yorktown, sitll exists in
the North. This same spirit that resisted
the stamp act will resist your fugitive slave
bill. The spirit which threw the tea into
Boston harbor will fret your infamous law
at defiance. The spirit which overthrew
the power of the British Crown will sub
mit to no force that shall attempt to con
strain them to comply with the odious pro
-visions of this enactment.

THE DEATH OF MOREL . .

The pen has now dropped . trough the
hand of Moses, and silent is his towel

The death of Moses, then, was not in
the ordinary course of nature, it was not
preceedud by its usual harbingers, it was
not occasioned by a failure of the radieel
moisture, by the stroke of violence, by the
malignity of disease, but by a simple net
of the will of God.
Moses has fulfilled, like a hireling, his
day—has written, has spoken, has jodgs
ed, has prayed, has blessed ;'the business
of life is ended ; he has glorified God on
earth, and it only remains that he glorify
him, by submission to his sovereign will,
in dying, Behold him; then, eolitairand
solemnly advancing to encounter die leit
enemy ; he has passed through the plain.
and again he begins to climb up inert the
mount to meet God. The eyes of ail ls
rael are rivited to his footsteps. Who is
not ready to cry out, i'Would to God•I •
could die for thee. Every step he advan
ces plants a dagger in the heart, The
distance begins to render vision indistinct;
hie person is diminished to a speck ; they
fondly imagine they see him still; the
eyes strain for another and another glimpse;
they can behold him no more: But he

resting upon it—his affections' with his
