SPEECH of MR. J: 0: CALHOHM(
ON THE SLAVERY QI.JESTION. : '
- Zi l o t , t;
WASHINGTON, Mart!
On motion of Mr. Butler, the;,taiiiitiat iii
Burred the consideration of the compromise
resolutions, offered by Mr. Clay.
Mr. CALHOUN having the floor, briefly sta
ted his inability to address the Senate in per
son) end returned thanks ::for the courtesy
which the Senate had extended him, in per.
milting him to have Nis views upon "%the
great question of present agitation delivered
by proxy. He then asked Mr. Mason to
rem , hid speech for him.
Mr. Mason then iroceeded to read the
s • eeo r. ALUOUN commences •y as
hat can be donerto save the Union?'
It Was necessary, filet, to find the cause of
the danger, before a remedy could be ap
plied. The danger arose—first, from the die.
content in all the Southern Slates, which
commenced with the agitation of the slavery
question and his continued ever since. The
next question was—" What has caused the
, disquiet ?" It resulted from the belief on the
part of the Southern States that they could
not live in the Union, .under the existing
state of things, with :safely to their honor
and interests.
He proceeded next to Show by statistics,
that the equilibrium of the .different sections
of the Union has been lost, in Oonsequence;
of the increase of population in the North
this state of affairs placed the control 01 the
- Government exclusively in the hhnds of the
North—giving them a majority of the States,
c and a large majority in the population,
which would he largely increased' by the.
next census. In addition to this, the newly
acquired territory would also add, speedily,
at least five new states, which would ho ad
__ Jutted to the North—while no additional
territories were progressing in the South.
.lie next proceeded to show that the action
the*Government has been such as to give
Noittrol to sectional majority, by which. the
Si::•uth has been deprived of its share •lii' l lfre
territories. The first act having 'such effect,
was the ordinance of 1787, the next, the
Missouri compromise; and the last the act
by which the South were excluded fruni*Or
egon. The result of all of which has been
to exclude the South from three fourth of the .
territory acquired by the federal government
giving her.one fourth only. The North had
• also unsettled the necessary equilibrium be
tween the two sections, by adopting a sys.
tern of revenue and disbursements which
hair imposed unequal burdens upon the
South to the advantage of the North. The
action of Congress in the next place had re.
,suited in a.concentration of power in the fed
eral government, to the manifest disturbing
and violation of State rights. The result of
all these series of measures, and this come
of policy, was to give the North an ascen
dency in every department of the Govern.
ment. •
He then proceeded to consider the views
and feelings of the people Of the North rela
tive to the institution of slavery, which the
South felt to be necessary to her social organ
ization, and wltich he said was looked upon
with greater .or less hostility by the whole
North—all the people of which felt bound, at
least, to discountenance it—while they. felt
themselves impelled to defend it.
He reviewed the course of the slavery ag
itation by the North—commencing with the
first battle upon the right of petition, and
coining down -to. the present day—lot the
purpose of showing that encroachments upon
this point had been continued gradual, find
always successful, until imminent dangot to
the Union had now arisen, He contended kbat
from this.first organized movement, the Ab
olitionists had contineally -increased in-num
bers, importunities and demands, until their
work had reached 1 point which demanded
immediate and earliest efforts for its arrest.
What, then, couldt be done to arrest its
progress, and what could save the U,uionl—
Disunion would not be effected at a single
blow. It was the work of lime-for the cords
which bind the Union were too numerous to
be snapped all at once. One of the many
cords which had bound the Union together
was the religious curd—the sympathy be
tween the associations of various religious
denominations of both sections. The fist of
the cords which snapped was that of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The next, the
division of the Baptists with two opposing
sectional parties. The Presbyterian cord lied
not altogether given way, although some of
its strands were broken. The Episcopal on- .
ly , of the four great denominations remained
firm and enbtokiiiias a result of this agita
tion. (Mr. Calhoun makes no reference
whatever to the .Citiholics.) The next great
cord which. tiad-enapped. was that of politi
. cal party organization, which had held to
gether until recently 'severed - by the increas
ed.
agitation. Again,-"how could the Union'
be saved V' 'lt could onlrbe saved by adop
ting such measuree aii will satisf3 the South.
ern States that they can remain in the Union
with safety and honor to themselves.
It could nut be saved by eulogizing the Uni
on, nor by-appeals to the memory of Washing
ton. Neither was there anything in the life or
'example of that distinguished man which would
deter the South from seceding ; on the contra
ry, there was mud" re encourage them to se
cession as a remedy for oppression and depri
vation of their rights. Mr. Cass' plan t or the
plan proposed by the Administration, co* not
save the Union. The latter was nothing but a
modification of the Wilmot Proviso, and still
inure objectionable than that measure. Its very
object was to deprive the South of its rightful
participation in the territories.
Looking at the Constitutional question, he
contended that the power of legislation for
the territories is vested 'exclusively in Con
gress. In this view, the action of the people
of California in forming a government for
themselves, - hat' usurped the power of Con
gress. Their conduct in this respect was
revolutionary and rebellious init.! character.
He expressed his hill conviction that the peo•
ple.of.Californla had , been influenced in their
action.by persons acting under the lugges
tionkand authority of the Executive. .:
He also,proceeded,- with.an effort, to show
that thelaction of California, and, the Execu.

Mr WV expressed his desire to address

Mr. Hale gave notice of his intention to

Mr. Calhoun's speech strikes us as a cold de

from which the patriotic heart revolts.
Mi. Webster is to speak on Thursday. There
are rumors that he has a compromise to offer,
but if he has we trust it will involve him in no
deserticin of the broad ground which ho planted
himself upon in his speech of August 10th ,
1848, when he declared—
"My opiimildion to the increase of slavery in
this country, or to gm increase of slave repre

are the following, among gross absurdities of

of a denomination less than 510 00, while
all the surrounding states issue notes of 55 00,
and less. New York, New Jersey, Ohio and

a number of personal friends, including the
president and several officers, who partici

U. S. A l acted as the friends of Col. Bissell,
and Messrs. Inge, of Ala., and Downs, of
La., as the friends of Col. Davis. The friends
of Col. Bissell refused-to listen to any sugges
tion for a settlement while the challenge was .
pending.
In his aexiety to show, his fire-eating pro.
pensitiestand Southern valor, Col. Davis has
unquestionably gone considerably beyond
the mark, and as a consequence has had to
back out. The whole difficulty, says the N.
American, grew out of a blender, and a very
gross one in a historical point of vieuf, 'com
mitted by Mr. Seddon, of Virginia; who, in
a most pitiful attempt to eulogize Southern
valor at the expense of Northern cowardice,
declared that when the second Indiana regi
ment (Col. Bowler's) gave way at Buena
Vista, the honor of the day seas redeemed
by the Missiasippj riflemen, under Colonel
Davis, who,tALassierted, "snatched victory
from the jaws of defeat." This.bhinder Coh
Bissell exposed and corrected in in tree fol
lowing expressions, in which. he must be
uncommonly ingenious vvlio can find any
wrong done to Col. Davis and his regiment.
"Justice to the living, as well as those who
fell on that occasion," said Col. 8., "demands
of me a prompt correction of this-moat erro
neous statement. And I affirm distinctly,
sir, and such is the fact, that at the time the
second Indiana regiment gave way, the Mis
sissippi regiment, for whoml this claim is
thus gratuitously set up, was not within a
mile and a halt of the scene of action ; nor
had it yet fired a gun or drawn a trigger. I
affirm further, sir, thaj the troops which at
that, time met and resisted the enemy, and
thus, to use the gentleman's own language,
"snatched victory from the jaws oh defeat,"
were the second Kentucky, the second Illi
nois and a portion of. the first Illinois iegi
ments."—"ln all this," (added Col. 8., who,
certainly, showed no• disposition to rob the
Southern troops of their really deserved lau
rels,) Pt by no means detract from the gal
lant conduct and baiting of the .Mississippi
regiment. At other times and places on that
bloody field, they did all that their warmest
admirers could have desired."
Now it happens that every thing V.ol : Bis
sell here says is historically true, as the ia
Hoes official reports and all the histories n
he battle show.,
There never could have been any misun.
derstandinior quarrel on this subject but for
the singul a, blunder of Mr. Seddon, who
contnundeVtogether two entirely different
events and t ote of heroism, confounded
them In a ► kit and for a purpose of dispara
ging Northern courage which has blinded
him, apparently, to all justice, historical pro
priety, and good feeling. The question which
we quote below from Col. Bissell, shows
how directly his speech, and the needleas,
•yet, for a time, the almost deadly, quarrel
between him and Col. Davis, grew out el
the indulgence of this wrongful and disrep
utable spirit:
"But let, me ask again," demanded Col.
8., "why was this subject introduced into
this debate? Why does tho gentleman say,
'the troops of the North' gave way, when he
means only a regiment? Why is all this,
but for the purpose of disparaging the North
for the benefit of the South? Why, but for
the purpose of furniahirii materials for that
ceaseless, uever-ending, eternal theme of
'Southern chivalry V."
The most agreeable circumstances connec
ted with this affair are, first, that it is now
over, secondly, that we owe the reconcile-
ion of two soldiers of Buena Vista—who
ought never to have quarrelled—both brave
men, and both the uncomproMising political
opponents of the President ; to the good
sense and humane and generous interposi-
tion of General Taylor. •
True Northern Spirit.
The following is the telegraphic condense

trary is the fact; the public heart should cease

repose and constant security which they aro
entitled to under a government of •-their own
creation and support, 'He had no hesitation in
declaring here, and,,letting it go forth to the
country, that unless Southern reprosentntivee

short of treason.... They 'have given us' to un

that, in a certain ooptingenol, tikely•to happen,

'marks touching the character, services and
good love of country manifested in behalf of.:
s rowing nation by him whose miniver-
sary w•e met to celebrat
'F. A. Mower, Esq. was called upon to
rend the Farewell Address of President
Washington— alter which Wm( M. *Walker
and George H. Bucher, who had been seloo-
ed to propose some sentiments in the shape
of toars expressive of the views of the coin
pany reported the following, which having:
been twice read were adopted.
1. The day we celebrate.— Worhy of cornl
nemorntion as having ushered into existence..
one who was every \Val fitted tar the - reffte:- -
sibilities of the times nywhich he lived—
whose affections, desires and sq,liCitationi in,
bohall of the American people were seen in
all his public actions—would that many
were like him now throughout the length
and breadth of this great and extended.
Republic.
2. Gen. George Wash;ngion.—Truly it mar
bo said of him—he was first in war, first in.
peace, and first iii the hearts of his country-.
men.
3. The Union of these States.—As such we
are a powertuiNation—without it none can
foresee what would be our condition.
4. Ott• GayerAment.—Let a .general burst
of exclamation go forth from its North, South,
East and West—that it shall and, must be
preserved.
5. The Dissolution 3 of the Union.—Let this
idea be obsolete toltbe American people,
and may-it ever be its was Shibboleth to the-
Jews, of old—unpronounceable.
6. The_, President of the United Stiites.=-
Sworn to support its constitution—let him
determine to have it faithfully, executed,and.
the nation will sustain him. .
7. rho Governor, of Pennsylvania.
8. The Heads of the different depart—
ment otilhis State and Nation.
9. Our Stale Debt.—lts amount is great,.
but not too great to be liquidated 4 Z9 effect
this much desired object, elbontiffitlenecep.
sary on thec part of the Legislative depart
ments. < There are many expenditures that
could be judiciously dispensed with which
applied properly would reduce our present
onerous State Taxes.
10. Our Federal Union.—Founded upon
mutual,,concessions and compromises by the
Slate Sovereignties—can only be sustained
by a continuation of the same.
11. The Monument now erecting al Wash-
ington.—While it is intended as commemo
rative of the affections and devotion of the
American people to the great and good
Washington—:nay it also be to those who
who in the least are touched with the disease
of dissolution, (as was the brazen serpent to
the Jews) by looking toward it may they he
healed..
12. fl'ornan.—Without her man would not
bo—by her he is sustained in youth, oncoul ,
ag9d in manhood, and consoled in the de-
cline of life—she may really, therefore, bet
esteemed as the best gift of God to man. f
la. Vie .Supper Parts) at Duey's.—Living,
in a land of plenty, may they always have
it ; and with good and kind will be disposed
to enjoy it. May each return of this day
find them in the possession of health,
strength, and disposition lo celebrate it.
14. Our Host and Hostess—Mr. and Mrs
Duet.—From the evidences we have had by
the bounteous provision made for out aocom-
odatioc—the company teVer their united
thanks.
