S.,he appeal being withdrawn,
Mr. lNGERSCLL resumed his remarks BY saying
ii: he trusted that he understood by all who
.srt nm when he was endeavoring to connect the
,...on of this question in England with its agitation
i this country. The greater part of the petitions
amen were presented here, it was we'll known were
ne work Of those impeled by similar feeling, which
;s,,nly began there. MIR. |. then went on to say
Ia, the Southern people of this country ought to
move with fixed determination TO protect their rights

we're desperately attempting to undermine their insu-

IN. gentleman from Massachusetts, was entirely mis-
taken IN supposing that the late Administration had

He thought il unfortunate that the States of Virginia
and New York should have been brought into state

VIVA, had fallen from the gentleman from Massachu-
sets Mt Adams) the other day when speaking on

,la the event of servile breaking out in the
South there would be end of the Constitution. He
would be glad 10 know whether he (Mr. u had un.

NJ ADAMS rose and said: If the gentleman
wished nm 10 repeat what he had said, he had no he
station saying that he had said such thing AZ
lin; in that event there would be end of the Con-
,!talon Of the IT, S. What he had said was that in
ne event OF servile his own opinion would be,

were called upon 10 support the institutions OF the
South by suppressng the slaves, and servile war
consequence Of II, in that case he would not say that
Congress had no right to interfere with the instu-
ions Of the South that the very fact perhaps, OF the
FEE portion Of this Union being called to sacrifice

were called upon expend their blood and their trea-
support that cause which had the curse and the
cs?easure of the Almighty upon it, he would say that
ths same Congress would sanction on expenditure OF
blood and Of treasure for that itself would come
within The constitutional action Of Congress, and that
there would be longer any pretension that Congress
ac no ne right to interfere with the institutions OF the
soah nasmuch the very fact Of the people ola free
'o'on Of the Union marching to the support of the
masters would be interference with those institu-
,ans and that, in the event Of war; the result of
'alch man could tell, the treaty -making power

lon. This was what he had then said, and he would
40 10 il now, that, in his opinion, if the decision of
as House. taken days ago. should be reversed and
ue established that the House would receive no pc.
tOn this subject, the people of the North would be
10 aeto absolyed from all obligation to obey any call
ION Congress If the petitions were refused, then
'ocall could be made upon them. If the free people
the North have nothing to do with the South, then
hey should not be called upon to support the South.
NJ INGERSOLL was about to resume, but gave

'He yeas lOl, nayss2
