He gave TO this resolve a mast sea-
thing examination, every word of
which he seemed to take up for a sepe-
rate dissection; and then dissected il
with merciless severity. If the Judge
who wrote it had been present, he must
have felt as if he had been dissected
alive, and that with a red hot knife,
burning as it cut, and plungins without
mercy through flesh and blood Through
nerves and bowels. No synopsis can
do any justice to this part of the speech.
and we. limit ourselves 10 the narration
Of the points as Col. B. took them up.
In the event of the passage of any
act Of Congress. This. he said, was
threat against Congress, and intended
to overswe it in the free exercise Of its
legislative powers. 1t even went be-
yond Congress. and struck at the Presi-
dent; for there could be no act of Con-
gress without his signature. 1t was an
insult TO Congress, and TO President
Taylor. Missouri had not voted for
General Taylor, but he was sure she
had no desire TO insult him. For him
SELF he would no, do i, by presenting
such resolutions in the Senate, and hav-
ing them printed among the govern
ment archives. He did not believe
Gen. T. would be much scared at them,
or inundated from doing what he be-
lieved 10 be right; bu, that did not les
sen the insult of the attempt 10 intimi-
date him. And in WHAT In doing
what has been done for sixty years! in
doing what has been done by President
Polk twice in less than twelve months!
in signing bill with the Wi!moi provi-
so in iI!--for that is the point at which
he is to be bullied, and inundated from
doing what other presidents have done.
He will not be scared, said Mr.. B. and
if he finds it necessary TO sign an act
with the Jefferson or if any body plea
scs the Wiluot psoviSo in il, and mill
tary resistance should be made 10 il. he
(Mr. b. would be found cooperating
with Gen. Taylor in the steps he might
take to qucll the resistance, as he had
been found in 1922 cooperating with
President Jackson in similar circum-
stances. Great upPIause) Mr.. B.
said whatever mercy might be due 10
the ignorant and uninformed who might
be imposed upon, and led a,ray by
men in high places, he would say that
no mercy would be due 10 these lead
ers themselves; and if the Missouri
Judge, who wrote these resolves, should
follow up his writing by committing the
overt act, he would be fit subject for
that exhibition which General Jackson
intended 10 make of Calhoun if he had
not "quailed."
Conflicting ,cith The principles herein
expressed. What principles! They
conflict with themselves they conflict
with sixty years legislation of Congress!
they conflict with the constitution of
the United States! they conflict with
the previous resolves of the General
Assembly Of Missouri, they conflict
with honor, and with patriotism. and
with the sentiments Of every man, who
is not nullifer, in the State Of Mis-
souri,. Yet Congress mus, not confiic,
with them Congress mus, bow TO the
mandate of Missouri, under the pealty
of military resistance. This Is not tho
sentiment of Missouri, and should not
be allowed 10 stand for it.
Found in hearty cooperation. With
whoml exclaimed Mr.. B., with South
Carolina, Virginia and Floridai for out
of the fourteen slave holding States,
these are the only ones that have enter
ed into the combination. Against whom
are they 10 co-operalei Not against
New Mexico and California, to compel
them by force of arms to admit, slavery;
not to resist negative &C, on the
shores of the Pacific; not to defend
themselves, for nobody invades them;
but TO nulifyl to get pretext for null
LITIGATION, and disunion!to do now what
was intended in 1882, and which the
payment of that "hemp tar" TO which
Webster so significantly alluded had
such a potent effect in preventing
With whom 10 cooperate! With the
