the Senate ON the subject ofabolition. All VIC have
seen from him is the following; and we copy it.,

North on that subject.
REMARKS OF MR.. WEBSTER,
On the question upon motion not to receire an
Abolition Manufactured ].
+ Mr.. WEBSTER expressed shortly his judg-
ment as to the proper course to be taken
with these petitions. He thought they
oughtto perceived. referred, ,md cons;d cred.
That was what was usually done with peti-
tons on other subjects, and what had been
uniformly done, heretofore, with petitions on
this subject also.
Those who believed they. had an undoubt-
ed right to petition, and that Congress had
undoubted constitutional Othority over the
subjects to which their petitions related,
would not be satisfied with refusal to re-
ceive the petitions, nor with a formal recep.
ton Of them, followed by IN immediate vote
rejecting their prayer. In parliamentary
| forms there was some difference between
these two modes of proceeding. but it would
be considered as little else than difference in
mere form. He thought tho question must, at
sometime, be met considered, and discuss.
ed. In this matter, as in others, Congress
must stand Oh its reasons. 1t was in vain
to attempt to shut the door against petitions,
and expect in that-way to avoid discussion.
On tho prescntment Of the first Of these
petitions, he had been ofopinion that it ought
to be referred to the proper committee. He
was ofthat opinioastill. The subject could
not be stifcd. 1t mus: be discussed, and
he wished it should be discussed calmly,
dispassionately, and fully, in ali its branches
and all its bearings. TO reject tho prayer
of petition at once, without reference or
consideration, was not respectful and in
this case nothing could be possibly gained
by going out ofthe usual course ofrcspcctful
consideration.
