nes IN feelings, motives and principles, he entirely
and cordially concurred with his colleague They only
differed as To the mode of proceeding MI +. preferred
his as was natural in the first place; and secondly be-
cnuse he thought went farther than any other and CO.
vered the whole ground
MIR. Hammond considered their difference as to the
mode of proceeding, vital and essential difference, IN
volynr the deepest and NEST important principles. lie
should say nothing with regard to his colleague prnci
plcs there; that was not the place TO mpeacl them.
What the gentleman had said in reference 10 arti
Gle in certain print in this city, Mr. H. begged leave 10
say, that SO far as he was concerned NE had nothing To
do with it, and knew nothing of it I'll! he saw in the
paper. This he would saythat as Tar as his recoilec-
ton in reference TO that article, the believed the pa
per had neither illuminated tho gentleman, done in
Justice him. Il well known that the very motion
now introduced, that the whole Northern party
would have been glad, at any moment during the pre-
sent session, to have adopted Should Southern man,
thc, representative from the Stale OF South Carolina,
come there with resolution granting peace, asking
peace from the abotonsts of the North upon the very
terms that abotonst, in the House or out Of it,
would have been glad to give at moment if they had
condescendsd to have accepted it?
Why should they want vote Of that House declaring
that they had power the subject in the States,
Who ever antcipatedir Why, that gentleman so
grossly ignorant as not to know that Arthur Tappan
hmselfh had and over again denied that Congress
had any power that subject in the States? There
was not MA from beyond the Northern line, that had
doubt upon that subject and they to invite at
tack upon the South upon that ground: But he would
leave the gentleman and his constituents to reconcile
themselves on this subject MIR. H. would himself laugh
to scorn would contenn and desplse any settlement Of
the question by that House. 1t question of arms
to be- settled by blood when there. The gentle
man profession love and veneraton for the Union,
was profession he always respected, come from whate
yer quarterit might. Mr.. H. loved the Union hut he
would never sacrifice his rights upon its altar The gcn-
teran wished, it seemed, 10 make report.
Mr. Pinckney explained. He had no materials for
such report he had never contemplated such report;
and it his intention to propose that it should be de-
putcd to hands from different section of the country
than that from which he came. -
MIR. Hammond said he wished, then the gentleman
had left the whole matter to member from differ.
ent section of the counry but now he had introduced
it, Mr.. II. hoped it would be left entirely to him. But
what necessity there for any rcporti Had not
every thing been said the subec that could be said
The only way meet the question was, to reject the Pc
tons. Any thing short of this would be only cacu-
lated to excite the fanatics Of the North, and report oil
that House would stimulate them to new exertions.
MIR Fl. advcrtcd TO the report of 1885, and said was
that time speculative question; but he entered
his solemn protest against similar course at the present
day Whatever Nigh. be the report of the House, II
would the entering wedge for future legislation,
and would he TO encourage the fanatics 10 re.
newrd attempts to enbro the peace Of the South.
MIR. Boyd then demanded the previous question
MIR. Hunt hoped the gentleman would Withdraw his
motion, he wished TO amendment to the re-
solution.
Mr.. Wise expressed the same wish, he also de-
sired opportunity to reply to sundry newspaper at
lacks that had been made upon him.
Mr.. Bovd said he should be happy to crafty the gen
ernan who had desired him to withdraw the motion for
the previous question: he must however be excused be-
cvng, he did, that discussion this subject should
not be further ndul ged in
Mr.. Mann, Of New York, moved call OF the House;
