ection among the slaves And he woul- ass VINO da no
look 10 that result Could any rejecting shu s eyes
to that inevitable consequence Of slavery Did not Mr. JEFF
eson look such finale Of that system OF oppression which
now cppes the energies and mpoveshes the people Of The
whole South Mr. Jefferson, speaking in the most emphatic
language, says:
"And the liberties nation be thought when
we have removed their only f basis conviction in the
minds Of the people that these liberties Of the gift OF God
that they 10 be violated but with his wrath indeed
embe my country when reflect that God just, that
his justice sleep forever that considering numbers
nature, and natural only revolution OF the wheel
fortune exchange OF situation is among possible
that become probable by supernatural The
Almighty has attribute which take side with us in such
a contest. |" #
No, the Almighty had attribute that would permit him
to take sides with oppression, outrage and crime. When the
day OF etrbuon should arrive, holy and just God could
take no part with shareholders.
Mr.. G. was here cut off by the expiration Of his hour
Mr.. BROWN, of Mississippi, and said he did not in
tend discuss the resolution before the House, the amend
ment which had been introduced by his friend from North
Carolna nor would he enter upon the discussion in rea
ton to slavery for that emphaicaly wandering from
the issue. He did not believe there was solitary mem
Der Of this Congress who thought there had been any breach
Of privilege growing out Of this far-med mob Why them
keep up this discussion Was there any member there who
believed that any member OF Congress had been engaged in
purloinng slaves from their masters If not, why should
they the discussion this second point And if
they back to the real issue before he they had moth
ing justify prolonged debate for there proposition
to which there could be two parties They all admitted the
facts 10 be the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. P4-
FnEr had stated them No living could point sol-
ary member of this House who believed be guilty Of
the act Of purlonng slaves and therefore, there diff
ference OF opinion among them But nevertheless gentlemen
had chosen go general discussion irrelevant topics
lie had the honor TO represent saveholdng constituency
and at proper time and legitimate question he should
endeavo present his views and the views of his constituents
that subject but believing that this whole discussion was
out OF orders believing it to have been got for bad
pose believing 10 have grown out of bad feelings and be-
ievng that the excitement here ought be allowed pass
away, ii had in the city Of Washington and that the de-
