ABOLITION. Mr.. CLAY.
From the Correspondence OF The Charleston
Courier.
Washington Feb. 7.
The question OF abolition was incidentally the
theme of discussion in the Senate again this
morning. A petition was presented by Mr. Clay,
of Kentucky from the cities of this District, |
asking that Congress would not interfere in their
do nestle relations. On this subject NJ. Clay
came out in bold and manly manner, ana wss
highly complimented by NJ. Calhoun, for tho
avowa he had made. Mr.. Calhoun said he
might now consider abolition as doae, fairly at
an end Mr.. Clay placed the abolitionists in
three different cl,s.es in this country. Fist,
those who. from feelings of phllanthrophy and
humanity, were opposed to the existence OF
slavery. Second, those who were apparently
abolitionists and sought to ngratiate themselves
with the first Class for sinister purposes, en-.
dcavoring to make them believe thai liberty Of
speech, the right of petition and freedom OF the
press wero attempted to be infringHd by the |
South. Third. those who wero ultra a6oliti0n-
lists. and sought 10 attain their ends, reckless of
all consequences, Of the rights Of property, of
honor, OF patriotism, Of all those feelings that
should bind the people of these confcderated
States in ono firm bond of union, brotherhood
and love. What was it to this class that they
should overthrow the fair fabric ever reared by
human WISDOM govornment, in the success Of
which were involved the best hopes ofml:knd.
Mr.. Clay took constitutional view of the sub.
ject and denied the power Of Congress TO inter.
fero with slavery in this district, without papa-
ble breach of faith, and submitted to the good
sense Of tho people, whether fifth, power was
expressed, it would be wise or pubic or safe, to
interfere with the existing domestic institutions.
lie occupied tho Senate about two hours, and
the petition was ordered TO b. printed and laid on
the table
From Correspondent ofthc Baltimore Chron-
icle.
His speech is one ofthe best he ever deliver
ed, and vii! agreeably astonish tho whole South
an the thinking portion of tho counrry. Itpro'
duccd SO great an effect i'm the Senate Chamber
tina: Immediately after Mr.. Clay had concluded
his remarks, and few words had been spoken
BY Mr.. Calhoun, the Senate adjourned. 1t was
impossible to do business, SO great was the ex-
citemcnt and effect produced. Mr.. Calhoun
complimented Mr.. Clay's speech. said it was
triumph to tho South--would do great good,
Sc, &c. 1t satisfied him altogether, and vas
the true States Right doctrine"
