Mr.. Fooie rose 10 give notice that on
Thursday next, after The speech Of The
Senator from Massachusetts. he would
call up his resolution for naming select
committee OF thirteen. 10 consider all The
propositions byfore The Senate in regard
10 Teriiorieg and slavery. and rep ,ri a
plan OF adjy Gmeni If pra. iicshle.
Mr.. FQo.e urged The necessity Of adopt
ing this Parse as the most efeciual mode
Of atiai1ag the object desired by all.
Whilst up. lie would take occasion TO
ask an explanation ofone or two passage,
in The speech of The Senator from South
Carolina, aud he was sorry he was not
in his seat. lie hoped that Senator or his
colleague would stale whether il was the
purpose OF The Senator TO insist upon
change Of the constitution as a necessary
guaranty ofsoulhern rights, and The condi-
ton on which the South would be satis~
fed. Mr.. Fooie was content with The
constitution as il was; and an amendment
at this lime was impracticable. and il insis-
ted on by the South would be movement
adverse TO the Union.
q lie Mr.. F.) did not consider the Souih-
em convention as tending to disunioI il
he did, he would moi support il. II The
Senator's speech got on, as il is, without
explanation. il will lead To The impression
that the alternative TO change ofihe con.
slitulion, is dsunion.
Mr.. F. was highly graiifed with The
Senator's remarks, and fully concurred in
most OF his views. lie regretted that the
senator had gone so far as 10 d, clare that
the whole body Of the Northern people
treated the South with contempt and hos
Utility. ~
Mr.. Butler did not understand his col.
league TO say that the Union could no, be
patched up and kept together BY COM
promise, and without an amendment OF
the constitution. But his colleague was
Of the opinion that the amendment was
necessary to prevent further danger.
Mr.. Calhoun asked what was the ques-
lion.
The Chair said. nothing.
Mr.. Calhoun. ! am very sorry that one
Of us should in the morning hour bring
up this subject. Ofwhat does the gentle
man complain! Does he intend TO ac-
cnse me Of being an advocate Of disun-
ion!
Mr.. Foot explained. lie was sorry
the honorable senator had not hear his
former remarks.
All that he wanted TO say, that he hop
ed the senator would SO exI laln that part
Of the speech which apparently insisted
upon change of the constitution; a sine
qua non, as to relieve other senators from
supp"riingit il.
lie did no, hector over any one, and
would be hecloreG over by no one. lie re-
GREETED that the senator should have ac-
cused him Of doing him injustice. II he
intends 10 insist on that amendment, he
aud part company. | canno, sustain him.
nor can the people Of. my state. II he
merely throws il out for consideration At =
proper time, there is no objection to il.
Mr.. Calhoun acted, he said, on his own
responsibility, not assuming 10 act as lead.
or Of any party. His great object in his
speech was To show that great discomfort
prevailed at the south, and that the causes
must be removed. lie insisted on no sine
qua non. But he would say that the south
could not remain in safety in the Union,
il no additional guarantees were given.
Does not the senator agree with me!
Mr.. Foote.--I believe we can remain
happily and honorably in the Union. under
compromise. snch as we can make in
ten days. do not believe that an amend.
ment Of the constitution is necessary. :
Mr.. Calhoun.-rhen differ from the
gentleman as 10 The other point; he had
between aifferen. classes of
opinion at the north. All were opposed
TO slavery. He MUST Judge by acts, mol
