The SPEAKER laid before The House a COM
municatiun from the Governor, transmitting Ger
tain resolutions from Wisconsin relating to The
subject of slavery in The territories, and in the
District of Columbia.
MIR SCOTT said that the practice OF passing
resolutions upon questions before Congress, owed
lis origin 10 the Southern States. II they would
keep within their own proper spheres, re would
not have 50 much difficulty in settling questions
before Congress. When We at The South draw
our line, it necessarily follows that the people Of
the North will follow our example, and draw
their line. He made these remarks TO draw the
attention Of this House, and il possible, OF The
public 10 this vicious practice. How can the
Senators from Virginia, with their resolutions
compromise with The Senator'S from Wisconsin
with theirs. He looked upon the action OF these
Northern States as caused by The action Of The
Southern States. Ii these matters we're left to the
Federal authority, we would find patriotism
enough 10 settle them.
Mr.. SCOTT moved 10 lay The resolutions on
the table.
Mr.. PANNELL said that il, as stated by the
gentleman from Fauquier, he had a very indis-
linct idea of points oil order, he could say that
the gentleman from F. had a very indistinct idea
OF Southern rights.
MIR. SCOTS motion was then agreed TO.
