An Interiude ON sIavery-Murphy-W
Correspondence Of The Tribune
W.SxrSGrox Saturday. Feb q.

WASHINGTON. Saturday, Feb q.
The House this morning went early INTO Com
mittee, Mr VISToN having first proposed and car
ried proposition to close the debate in two hours.
Mr. MoRyHFAp Of Ky had the floor, and proceed
ed f. make a moderate and oOnchatory Speech
on Slavery and the Territories, but against the
Winot Proviso as irritating to the South and un-
necessary When be had concluded.
Mr. MURPHY Of n. Y. brooklyn took the aoor
and proceeded to make bunker Speech on Slave
~ the Territories, the divisions the Democracy,
election Of Gen. Taylor, &c. NC. He cut right aud
left and told the Southern Democracy that while be
had gone with them throughout, they had behaved
very naughty IN ihrottling Mr.. Van Buren, at Bal
timore in A on the Texas queston-thst they
had there deserved all they have since got, &c &c.
He proceeded to talk Of Slavery in the Territories
in the Cass Nicholson dialect, and at length reach
ed the usual climax Of insisting that there could
be no need of any Wmot Proviso or Ordinance Of
- in the case Of the New Territories, because 10
law now exists authorizing Slavery in these Ter
ritories and it could not of course go there with
out law-wherefore it could never get there until
some aw should be passed expressly authorizing
t-tnht IS never.
Here Mr.. WILsoT Of Pa. rose, and Mr. MUIR
ply gave way TO him.
Mr.. WILMoT-' Never 90 there without Law,
does the gentleman say Why Sir, | defy him
to point out ore rod Of earth which Slavery has or
ever had foothold on which it was not planted not
only ic,ihom law but against law lthas always
been planted by ssumption-iorce-violen E.
Will he pretend that it was legalized first and
planted aiterward on any foot of this continent -
Talk Of lap to authorize i'll Why, Sir, it now ex-
ists over every rood Of Ourown country from which
| it has bot been sslycbcluded by law What
stopped Slavery at the Ohio River positive
law-the Ordinance Of g. Why did it not cross
that riverl Because Of the law. Square up 70 the
line of restriction Slavery now presses at every
point. What limits it West OF Missouri A mere
imaginary line-the line of go 3O-a line based
on aud maintained by positive law. So 1t always
has been-always will be. To say that Slavery
shall not be excluded from any region is 10 say 1t
shall be admitted and established there.
MIR MURPHY resumed and went on. When
he had concluded, the debate was closed and the
bill passed-repeated attempts TO amend 1t by in
sorting Cheap Postage provisions being voted out
Of order The Committee rose and reported the
bill, which passed without debate.
The House then by a close vote went again into
Committee and took up the bill organizing the
Territory OF California on which Mr.. CHAPMAN Of
Md took the floor, and made an anti Proviso
Speech.
