property Of the republic they had any dssign Of
considering project Of secession he would only say
that they had been nspproprists In their choi,e OF
place Of meeting when they selected Nashville. IL
was said once, that IL King William could have
heard Of the conclusion of the peace Of Amiens,
be would have turned In his GOTTA. The same
expression might we'll be applied to the case
OF the proposition Of secession talked Of over the
gave Of Andrew Jackson. In conclusion, Mr. Webster
delivered most inpassioned and eloquent tribute to
thu value Of the Union and the spirit patriotism and
philanthropy which would maintain IL.
Mr.. CALHOUN to reply to the suggestions by Mr.,
Webster that the acquisition ofFlorida and Louisiana
resulted from Il increase of the cotton growing ints
rests the de.r, of the South extend slave terrific
ry The acquisition Of Florida the result Of On In
dian and Louisiana was purchased with view to
the navigation OF the Mississippi He denied that in his
connection with the project of Texan annexation he
actusted by any desire for the extension of slave
dominion He had advocated the annexation of Texas
with y view to defeat TIE scheme by which sbo,i.
tiobsts sought her connection with Great Britain,
with view to the abolition Of slavery In the United
states where IL existed On this ground alone he had
put it, The Senator had esd that the South scQ
in the ordinance OF s7 withouts dissenting voice Mr.
Calhoun contended that measure under DISCUSSION
three years before it's adoption, during which 1t
with much opposition, and wss finally adopted as
compromise the South vainly believing that she had
AMI indemnity therein. He complimented Mr.. Web.
ster the bold and manly position which he
had taken in relation to the arrest of fugitive
slaves. The Senator was willing and prepared to
fulfil contracts and stipulstious-to vote for bill
having for its object the better enforcement Of
those spulstions; but he must say to the gentleman
that all penal laws upon the subject would be In
operative, unless the people and the Legislatures In
the Northern States would co operate. The Senator
had expressed himself opposed to the Wilmot proviso
and ready to throw open the territories to the slave
States together with the free. MIR. c. hoped that in
the spirit the Senator would be willing
the impedimsDt placed In the way Of the ssvsholng
smigsnt by the Mexican laws in force in California
He could not serse with Mr.. Webster that the Union
could not Re dissolved Could no insult broken faith
aggression, produce that result The Union could
be brok en- and could only by an exercise
of justice food faith and rigid adherence to the
constitution.
Mr.. WEBSTER followed in reply. What he desired to
cay that the breaking up of the Union, by voun
tary secession Of States was impossible. He did not
doubt that course Of oppression, aggression might
produce resistance upon the party thus oppressed but
thst would be revolution, not secession In rejoner
MIR Cahouns to his position about the cause
which produced the acquisition Of FLORIDA and Louisi
he would suggest that it usual for wise states
men, having object to accomplish, always to take
advantage Of occasions to accomplish It, The occasion
might be Indian wars the obetructing the navigation
Of g river, or what not. (Lsughter) Again, II the
object Of Texan annexation simply to prev eht her
acquisition by Great Britain, could not tina. have been
done enectually by making 1t free territory
slave! Uaughter) In conclusion, he said that when
the eirsct question Of the admission Of California
should come before the Senate, he designed saying
something in relation to the boundaries aud consti
tuition Of that State and the expectancy OF admitting
her, under all circumstances, into the Union.
Mir. CALHOUN again rose. He ssid that la claiming
Texas fer slavery, the South thought it would give
tn. N by no means much they had been excluded
NJ wAIKrs took the floor, and the Senate ad.
journed.
