SPEECH OF DANIEL IVEBSTER,
ON THZ,:pI.AaR: . Y gugsTioN:
WssaatobrijAarch 7th, 1800
' As soon as the doo'rs were opened'thia'
moping the ladies filed every available pcis
eitlhn on the item of the Chamber, arid 'eve
ry avenue leading thereto was crowde d With
anxious aspirants for similar favors.
TiliaNice President stated the first heel.
nesjatelpre the Senate to be Mr. Clay's coin
prornisle'resolatinns, on which Mr. Walker
bad the floor.
• Mr. Walker briefly stated that the k lvast
assembly which filled the Senate-Chamber
hail come to hear the Senator from Massa
chusetts, and stated that he would cheerfully
give way to Mr, Webster. - 44
• - . ..
Mr. Webster rose -ainVafter expressing hie
obligations to Mr:Walker and to Mr,. Sews
ard, for having 3 ielded the floor to him,
proceeded to address the Senate. He - ttri re;
he said, not as a Southard man or a Northern
man, but as an American. He hoped to dis
charge his duty with fidelity, and with the
trust, that the swim which, was now raging
in the land would be lulled: ofie spoke for
the preservation of the Union—with an anx
ious heart for the restoration of that quiet
and harmony so necessary to the prosperity
and happiness of the country. The
his objects, and if be could doer so
for them, his end would be moo plished.
He proceeded to consider the a ents which'
had led to the late war with Mexico— its
battles, triumphs and results, the principal
one of which was the acquisition of territo
ries. Prior to the negotiations for peace, the
penp.le of California, assisted, perhaps, by
officers and citizens of the United States, re
volted against the Government of Mexico,
and ran up an independent flag. The result
was that a tide of emigration set towards
San Francisco 'frairi every country of the
world. The rich and inexhaustible gold
mines of California were subsequently dis
covered; and this new wonder had increased
to a wondertul degree the emigration !to
hose distant shores.
He referred, next, to the failure of Con
gress to provide a territorial government for
the the people of this territory, and; said's
that, under %hitt state of things, there peppla,
had taken measures to establish a locargov
ernment ; had selected Senators and Ilepre.
sentativeo, and sent them here, with their
Constitution, to ask en immediate admission
into the Union. This constitution, thus odor)•
ted, and now presented here, contained a
clause prohibiting slavery in the new Suite,
which provisiop back given rise to the oppo
sition now matte to ber•-admission. What
ever was believed lobe the abject or manner
of the commencement of thh war with Mex
ico, it would generally-be conceded that it
was carried on , with a view to the acquisi
tion of Territory. Territory was acquired ;
but the natural expectation' that it would be
slave territory was disappointed by the action
of the people of the territory themselves.'
M. Webster then went into a historical
consideration of the institution of slavery, •
from the earliest ages to the present time.—
The ancients did not justify slavery upon
the ground that the more intelligent, and
therefore the stronger, were superior to the
weaker, The Roman philosophers and jurists
defendelPha.institution of slavery upon the
.internat,RwiLlaw—arguing rightly that the
conventional lath -at nations admitted that
the captives of war, whose lives, according
to the notioir of that day, were at the mercy
of the captors, might, in return for their lives,
be made slaves for lile—the obligation, else
testing upon their posterity. He alsaltanten
ded, by the civil 11mi - that - Mere Migfir-be
slavery, ~ _.,
..,...-0
First, as .a result of the voluntary act of an
individual who sells himself into slavery.
Second, as a consequence of debt. ,
Third, for crime.
Bringing the matter down to the Christian '
era, he alluded, at some length, to the. feel
ing in a large portion of the community, the
conscientious belief, that slavery is a sin,
and incompatible with christian sentiments
of brotherly kindness. He expressed his
own conviction that there was en honest be
lief of this character. There were men in
the community who, in the too hot pursuit
of one duty, forget that there are many
other duties which they overlook. There
fore men who suppose that they can distin
guish between right and wrong, with the
certainty °Lae algebraic equation—who re
gard nothirft 'good that is not perfect—or if
they seep spot ppm the sun,oonsider that a
good reason• tor striking theout from heaven.
There were men too impatient to wait for
the slotf and gradual working of great moral
causes. They forget that the miracles of
of Christ, in eighteen hundred years, have
converted but a small portion of the world.
It wee this state of feeling which had done
much towards creating the present difficulty.
What was the feeling on the part of the
most eminent public men in relation to the
institution of slavery' It was torrnerlY. de
. nounced throughout the country . —not as cruel
and inkuman--hut as a political evil—itituri-,
ouidys substituting slave for tree labor, and
consequently the most eminent public men
commented • with great acerbtty upon the
conduct of the mother country, who, to favor
the navigator, inflicted the evil upon the
colonies.. The question in the,early days of
the Government was not whether slavery •
was an evil. That Was admitted. The
question was how ethe evil should be dealt
with. It waa thcitighe4hat its day would be
shortened 4... prohibiting the importation of
slaves, and r re proposition was introduced to
' prohibit such importation some twenty years
hence. This time was objected to by Mr.
Madison, among other prOmirient Southern
men, as being too tong. He feared, as lie
said, that too much of this evil might be inz
%reduced il so ranch opportunity was allowed.
It would be observed that the wort: 'slavery'
was not made, use of in Ihe constitution—
perhaps in consequence of the wish express
ed by Mr. Madison, that he did not want to
see the institution of slavery recognized in
the constitution.
• Mr. Webster thought-that there were two
' historical truths which must be clear to all.
"-First--There was an expectation, former
ly, at upon the suppression of the importa.
lion f slaves, slaveiy would begin to run
on
econd—That so far as there was any pow
' er in Congress to prevent the spread of sla
very in the United States, it would pee it in
the moat absolute and decided manner.
He alluded to the ordinance prohibiting
slavery' in the Northwest Territory. Mr.
Calhoun had cold that "this was the first of
• the aeries of measures calculated to weaken
- the south." He desired to say, in reply,
.that the ordinance was passed with the unan
(mous consent of the South—there being
but one vote against it—and that one a rep
resentative from the North. Since that time
there had been a great °hedge in opinion,
both North and South, Slavery ,was not now
regarded by the South as , lt then was. There
, had been a continual.and growing opinion in
The ,North,:agrainet slavery, and a grewing
opinion in the South in Its favor, Now,it was
• considered an institution of great interest and,
value to•herproirperity:•t,i •-,. • '

Mr, Webster repliedlo Calhoun's ob
jeotiprt, that the operation oh the Govern
,menClitid been against-the South, , and was
'oalealated to weaken her. •' His contended.
thlethe contrary',w.as thedael,:rse, larAis the
legitimate effect at legislation
Otrect :legisla!tien; , ..had
,beeti!ndopted expressly for the benefit the
'Seep. in '3:import:et' this pinpositien're-'
cuffed to tlie:votintrii the ailmisejloircil:leu
isigna and Alabama, and Commented at
great length upon the admission of Texas.—
He referred especially to the action of the
Demeoragy . .of the North, in relation to Tex
as; and incidentally of theeeurse pursiied by
the same,,party in the Senate. When at the
obtrimehoement of the:war with Mexico Mr.
Berrien introduced a proposition in the'Sen
ate to the eflect that it should not bo prose
cuted with a view• to the acquialtion of 'terri
tory, this Northern Democracy failed entire.
ly to . support it; thus indicating clearly their
opposition to ; such sentiments. It gaited
-those-gentlemen-toz-bring into the country a
world in the valley and mountains of Cali
fornia and New t alextoo, and to put upon it
the saving grace, of the Wilmot proviso.—
' (Laughter.) ,
Returning to the question of admission of
'Texas, be related Ilia own position thereon,
'quoting from his speeches and acts, to show
that he had always been opposed to it—be
, cause he knew that whoever, possessed Tex
as, it would be a slave feriftOry, and he was
unwilling to extend that institution. He had
time and again expressed himself as being
strongly opposed to the introduction of any
new slave States, or the acquisition of slave
territories. Upon that point he knew no
change in his sentiments at the present time.
(Sensation.) He had, on one occasion, he
believed, expressed himself against the ac
quisition elany more teiritory—north, south
east, or west. He had expressed his belief
,in the Spartan -maxim—"improve, adorn
what you have—seek no (hither." But what
was our present condition? Texas had been
admitted.with all her-territory, with the in•
atitution ofelavery, and an irreparable law,_
by Which, &new States were erected out of
any portion of her territory, they {should be
slave States; and he wanted it to-be distinct
ly understood that he considered thin govern
.reant solemnly bound by law to create new
'stave States oat of Texas, when she _Ethan
contain the necessary population. Slavery
was excluded from California and New
Mexico byohe law of nature, which had e
rected impassable barriers to ha introduction
there. This he-considered as a fixed tact.—
That that country was to be free, waq settled
by the arrangement ol Providence, andicould
nolbe changed. Regardiog_thie as a Axed
fact, , be would. say that he would not vole for
the'insertion into any bill giving territorial
governments to the new territories any pro
vision prohibiting slavery there—nny _re:en
actment of the will 01 GOd. lie would prit
Into it no Wilmot proviso—nothing that was
so useless and nugatory. He meant to stand
or fall upon the proposition that every foot
of the territory in this country has a charac
ter, fixed and irrepealable, and which canny
'be changed in any way.
In flits cottnectfdn, be Said that the Provi
so, in the case of Oregon, was nugatory arid
senseless, and obagrved that , il there wan any
Of the Northern • Tiemecracy who tow desi
red to put a Wilmot Proviso into an act giv
ing .government to California, he supPeted
that the - same man would feel it necessary'
to assert the same principle for the purpose
of saving the snow-clad hills of Canada 'from
the foot of rho slave, in case she shall be
anneked. (Laughter.) The provision would
be quite as necessary and proper in , the one
Case as in the other. In the next place Mr.
.Nic t eliste't proceeded to consider tfie complaint
~i tiaclizirby each section of the Union against
'''lfiVothee—beginning with the complaints of
the South, and passing over that in relation
to the manner of collecting and disbursing
the revenue. He alluded .to_the difficulty
arising from the failure el the NOrth to give
proper aid in the capture and deli'vory of
runaway slaves. In this, he thought the ,
North in the wrong and the . South right.—
It was a cause of complaint upon the, part of
the Sontly,--and-orre-whicirthe-Nort}t - ought - to
remove.
The duty was imposed by the constuution,
and it was VOL eonstsient wider/3 - 01100 for
Northern men and Legislatures to attempt to
evade this provision. Congress ought to ,
bass some law removing the evil. For one,
liq deuigned supporting the bill (Mason's)
now pending in the Senate, having that ob
ject in view. In connection with this point,
he made some remarks upon the propriety
of Leizislative instructions, objecting to them,
and saying, 'in eflect, that if instructions
should be sent to him in relation to any mat
ter affecting the interests of the country he
should pay no more regard to them than he
would it appointed an arbiter to decide some' '
matter in dispute between individuate, to the',
instructions of him who appointed him.—
Considering, in - the next place, the agitation
in the North, complained of by the South,'
he said he had no doubt but that during the
last twenty years money enough had been
subscribed in the North, for abolition presses
societies and lecturers to purchase the fre
dom of every slave in the land; but unlorlu
nately, he believed the sympathies of these
societies had never- been extended in that
direction.
He valued highly the' freedom of the
press; yet it was too true, thnt the press was
frequently prostituted, and evil articles were
frequently found in, the papers, having a
mischievous and irritating tendenoy, as there
were such expiesalona in many aneeches
made in the houses of Congress. Indeed,
he must say that the vernacular of the coun
try had been greatly vitiated and depraved by
the character cd such speeches in Congress,
(Laughter.) After administering a rebuke to
persons for having compared the absolute
ignorance of slavery with the independent,
educated free labor of the North, he eloquent.
ly considered the qUestion of the dissolution
of the Union,'ecouting the idea of peaceful
secession. Could arty man be so foolish as
to expect such a miracle? Could any one
dream el, the breaking up of this great coun
try, without terrible convulsions I As well
might we'look for the upheaviog of the wa
ters of the 'mighty deep without disturbing
the surface.' But, what was to bo the result
Of disunion? Where and how was the line.
to be drawn? What was to become of the
States? What was= to' become of him?—
Where was the flag to lenient Where the
eagle to soar—pr was it to shrink and fall to
the ground ?
The spirit of our ancestors—our very chil
dren and grand-children-would cry 'shame!'
We allow these ensigns of our nation to
trail in the duet. For one, he would rather
hear of national blast and mildew, or war,
pestilence and famine, than to hear men
talk of secession. He alluded , also to. the
Southern Convention. He was bound to be
lieve gentlemen designed 'assembling there
for the purpose of considering matters for
the safety, perpetuity and , prosperity of the
republic. If they had any-design el_cousid
oring , any projeots of secession, he would
only, say, that they had chosen nn inappro

The Senator„was willing and prepared to

say to the gentleman that all penal laws up
on the,subjebt would •be inoperative unless
the people and Legislatures of the Northern
States would co-operate. The Senator had
expressed himself opposed to the Wilmot
proviso, and ready to throw opda the territo—
ries to the slave States as well as to the free.
Mr. Calhoun hoped that in the. same spir—
it the Senator Would. be willing .to centavo
the' impedimen
ts placed in the way of the
slaveholding . emigrant, by the Mexican laws
in tome in Calitornia. He could not agree
with Mr. Webster that the Union could not
be dissolved. COuld no insult, broken faith,
or aggression, produce that result? ''The
Union could be broken, and could only be
preserved by an exercise of justice, good
faith, and.a rigid adherence to the constitu—
tion.
Mr. Webster followed in reply,. What he
desired to say was, that rho brerikitig up - of
the Union-by : -voluntary-seoession..of- slams
was impossible. He did not doubt that a
course • of oppression or aggression might
produce resistance upon the party oppressed,
but that would be revolution—not secession.
In rejoinder to Mr. Calhoun's answer to
his position abbut the causes which produced
the acquisition of Florida and Louisiana, he
would suggest that it was usnal• for wise
statesman, having an object to accomplish,
always to take advantage of occasions to
accomplish it: The occasion might=be It - -
diom wars, the securing the. navigation of a
river, or what not. (Laughter.) Again it the
object of Texas Annexation was simply to.
prevent her acquisition by Great Britain,
could not that have been done us eflectually
by making it tree 'territory as slavel (Laugh
ter.) " . -
In conclusion, he said that when the direct
question of the admission of California should
come before the Senate, he designed saying
something in 'elation to the boundaries and
Constitution-4 thaj Slate, and the expedien
cy of adinittirieher, tinder all the ouch metau
ces, into the Union.

REMARKS OFSENATOR COOPER.
On motion, by Mr. Cooper, the Senate pro
ceeded to the consideration of the President's
message, received yesterday, transmitting the
correspondence of the British Minister.
Mr. Cooper road the letter from Mr. &them,
relating to the feeling of the goiternnient
people of Great Britain, In relation to any Pro
posed increased duty oil iron, and submitted
some
v.
remarks, rebuking this interference with .
our policy by a foreign representative. The
foreign minister, be, said, failed to his duty and
etiquette towards the government, to which ho
was accredited, when he attempted to makers
suggestion in relation to the domestic, policy of,
that government, justly characterized as ob
trusive, impertinent, and deserving of rebuke.
Wo were competent to,. manage our own eon
cornea regulate our own policy, without refer
ence to any foreign public, opinion. He did
not doubt that the opinion of the government
of Great Britain was in favor of the =into
nOtee of a policy calculated to feed her people
and starve our own—but they had no right to
come here to express these feelings and advise
our course with reference thereto. lie had no
doubt that Henry Lytton Bulwor had already
been told by tne President, that hie interference
was not desired, and in language equally strong
with (hit which marked a similar rebuke to
De Tocqueville a few months ago.
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, submitted a few
remarks to show that there had been precedents
for similar interference, estahlished.by our own
government. lie disapproved, however, of the
principle, of these precedents, as well as the
present action if the British minister.
Mr. Cooper; 'Mame additional observations,
assumed that the t President, in sending the cor
respondence to t he Senate, hnd done so for the
purpose of showing Congress that the British
government has, in fact, q greater interest in
the maintenance of an existing policy of this
country, digit our own people.
Alter some debate by Meseta. Badger and
King, in which they expressed their regret that
the Senator from Pennsylvania had expressed
himself so strongly.
Mr. Clay said that be disagreed with all that
had been said by those who had preceded him.
in denunciation of the course of the British
Minister—contending that a foreign Minister
might properly; to fulfilling his duties towards
his own government, suggest what would be
the feeling of that government in relation to
any measure she deems calculated to affect tho
interests which lie is charged with the duty of
protecting and advancing. He, however, hoped
that i the object aimed at by Mr. Bulwer, would'
not be attained. In conclusion, he compliment
ed Mr. Buiwer in high terms, saying that die
was well satisfied that his great and earnest de
sire was to do his duty to his own government,
with satisfaction, at the name time, to sure.
Mr. Cass added jiis testimony in relation to
le motive and feelings which actuated Mr.
etilwer.
Mr. Cooper had no idea that his remarks
would have created so much fueling, but ho
'must say that he was satisfied ho 'should repre
sent his own constituents best by uttering the
. .
indapendent sentiments and feelings of his own
heart. He urged nothing indecorous in hie re
marks, and would not withdraw a single word
of what he had said, if lie hall to say it over
again.
Alter some farther debate, tho motion .-to re
fer the mutter to the'cominitteo, on Commerce
was agreed to.

1:1:!7"The Apportionthent 101 was up in the
House ; on Saturday, at Datrisbufg, and
(attended Boas to allow Dauphin county but
one member
Mr, Wehsters speech.
This great speech as' undoubtedly caused
surprise as well as pleasure. As a speech none
can fail to read it without a thrill' of enjoy
ment, but with thouriands Mr. Webster's be.
lief that slavery cannot exist in California, does
not furnish a satisfactory equivalentor bis
desertion of' the Wilmot Proviso. Slavery shall
not be extended further, was what these expec
ted Mr. Webstii to soy, and they have been
deeply disappointed.
`rho speech has not so far boon much dis
cussed by the press. Tho N. Y. Tribune ox ;
presses decided non-concurrence with Mr.
Webster's views, - and - ilre-Philadelrobia -North
Aynerierin thinks Mr. Webster has not fully
met the great question.
The Compromise
The resolution of Mr. Foote, of Mississippi,
providing for a committee of thirteen to or
tango a compromise of the slavery question,
wee expected to pass the U. S. Senate yester
day.. It is stud thecommitteavoill be composed
of Messrs. 'Clay, Webster, Berrien, Plielps,Dass
Bell,Cooper, Mangum, Dodge, Mason', Soule
Dicicintion rind Foote.
It strikes us, since Mr. Webster's speech
that Congress had better promptly admit Cali
fornis, and let the question of a territorial gov
ernment lay over, as recommended by - Pfal
dent Taylor.
An Essential Omission.
The Philadelphia North American expresses
the opinion that in his great speech Mr. Web
ster has entirely overlooked tlie main question,
the groat practical question, hick is now the
real issue between the people of the two sec
tions of the Union. The South demands that
slaveholders shall be allowed to carts slaves to
California and New Mexico, or •to a part of
them there is an ultimatum of alternatives
presented, either that such a right shall be con
ceded and secured to the South, generally, as
regards the entire expanse of these territories ;
mythat the territories shall be divided by some
oompromise lino, one of the portions to bo
specially set apart for.the use of slavery. This
is, id our opinion, the real practical point, the
centre and nucleus, the gist and soul, of the
coniroversy ; and upon this point, after a•most
careful perusal of his whole ipeecli, we cannot
firtd that Mr. Webster has delivered his senti—
ments "freely and at large," or thitt ho hos de
livered any sentiments at all. Tho omission is•
a most grange and unfortunate one ; but it is
still an omission ; end the controversy remains
exactly where it did. Tho South still demands;
and Mr. Webster does not say whether tho free
States are right or wrong iti refusing to yield
to the demand.

'BRITISH LEGATION, W11311i110.011; JUG: 3, 11350. - -:
Sir—lt having been represented te Hur'Maj- .

by Her Majesty's government to express to tho
United States' government the hope that no ad.

the present tariff of. the United Stu tes,ivhicli
already weighs heavily upon British produc

part, that an augmentation of the duties.. on
British produce or Manufactures made at a
momput when the British government has, by
a eerik.of measures, been facilitating the com

duce a very disagreeable effect upon public o

witichis soTouilly denouncing our Represen

ties ott foreign iron should be increased. It
is a greet pity Mr. Bulwor's letter ltd not
appeared sooner, se that Mr. Bonham might'
have embodied it in the resolutions of the
recent convention l But as it comes too late
for that we suggest that the Volunteer have
it printed, in an..xtra shp . , and accompanied
by an affectionate admonitory lecture from
the members of the Convention, have it duly
forwarded to Mr. Chaolr, so that he may be
restrained' in his cruel deaigti - of doing tha,
which would produce a "disagreeable effect',
in England,'
Mr. Bulwer's letter is certainly a curious
affair, and notwithstanding our disinclination
to say or do anything ! , disagreeable," we
cannot regret Mr. Cooper's denuciation
althongh pronourfced— "uncalled MP' by
Messrs. Clay and Casa. We agree with as
contemporary, that if there be a tight Amer..
icon spirit now in the National Legislature--r

A Noble Southern Whig.
The name of Edward Stanley, of Nola. t
Caroline, one of the noblest of Southern
Whigs, has been familiar to thor Whigs of f
the North for years. Mr. Stanley spoke to
the House, on Wednesday last, in a strain
replete N:rith patriotiA:n. Speaking of the
admission of California, he t•aid, "are we to
reject a State merely because she dots mst .
tolerate Slavery? If no Southern man boa
one votes for her admission I will." In re• •
ply to a Southern, member who was very •
restless under the keen thrush! of Mr. Stanley ,
the latier:boldly replied, "IL the Willnot Pro,
vise does pass I believe the people of North
Carolina will stand bk the Union—Wilmot
Proviso or no Proviso N •
The South at Loggerheads.
On Tuesday last, in the Senate, the day Bihar
Mr. Calhoun% speech, Mr. Foote, it ho has •al
ways something. to say or some a:planation to.
make, took occasion to dissent from the oxtret ne
southern views entertained by Mr. Calhoun.
He gave it as his opinion that the whole diffi
culty between the two sections could be at ni
cably settled IC ten days by adopting his plat.. of
submitting the question to a committee of tt lir
teen. No amendment to the Constitution he
said was necessary, as had been contem ded
by Mr. Calhoun. He then proceeded to def. and
the North from the attaekS of the Sduth CI wo•
lino Senators ile denied that Mr. Calhoun was
his (Foote's) leader. He would brow-b. sat,
Menace, threaten, insult or hector no man, and
would allow no man to brow beat, meni ice,
throaten, insult or hector him ! If and tho
Senator differed, and his (Footed) conatitu
. ents
would not sustain the position assumed by Cal
houn.
Mr. Calhoun replied briefly, denying tha t he
had ever proposed to be the leader of any . man
or of any party. Ile did not profess to be long
to any partf—he spoke for himself only. ',lila
It will be seen that the disunionists are quite as
dissatisfied among themselves as they are with
the north and the 'rest of mankind.'
