The conclusion could not be avoided that there are
great disturbing causes and, unless removed, ca
lamtous will be the effects. Nothing but justice
satisfy the aggrieved; and il would be vain 70
endeavor to close eyes to the threatening as

THE South complain that the large number OF
States not only do not deliver, but enact laws to
prevent the reclamation of fugitiyes. The right Is
claimed to abolish slavery in the District OF Column
bia /; and when the Wilmot proviso becomes I'M
popular, with the aid OF the Executive influence
the same thing is TO be effected by admitting por
ton of the territory acquired State, with con-
sttution prohibiting slavery. He had seen for
months that there was deep plot in progress
but what could have been expected from Secre-
tary OF State, who voted to incorporate the Wilmot
provso in the Mexican treaty when il came up IN
the Senator These the disturbing causes The
North wish to take from the South their inherit
ance and continually press this question on them
A Boston ship lately carried off slaves from North
Carolina The negroes got to that part OF the
country where they are called charming and inter-

they were not justly authorized to maker Any
man who goes for the Wimot proviso is Free
Soer, and the Free Soiler ID an Abolionst. Alter
reviewing the doings Of some OF the disturbers he
said that there were men who would do justice II
they could, but they were obliged to run, as the
prairies behind them fire. He would not
belong to party in which there are Wilmot pro-
viso men; in other words, Free Soilers and Abo-
lionists; but to that party willing to do justice.
He would not have supported General CAss for
the Presidency, if he had believed that the Sen
ator was in favor of the people In the Territories
legisating for themselves. He did not believe IN
being robbed of participation in the acquisition
from Mexico by the application OF the Wilmot pro-
viso did he believe that it should be enjoyed by
Cinnamon and Sandwich Islanders, excluding
many of those who fought for it. Abandon the
Wimot proviso, and give the South its share OF the
territory; cease disturbing slavery in the District
of Columbia; repeal the laws which prevent the
owner from recovering his fugitive negroes, and
peace will ensue. Do not talk of compromises
The Constitution was founded on compromise
Nor will Mr. CLAy's compromise do. That gen.
tleman was allied with Sellers and identified
with Abotionists He could not take the pill from
him, however gilded it may be.
A second Intellectual effort made to lay aside
the Presidents annual message, and TO take up the
special message communicating the constitution OF
the State of California.
Mr. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, remarked that it was
well known that he in the Philadelphia national
convention, as a delegate from Ohio, and had then
l
now represented. He repudiated the nomination
of General Taylor, and threw alooffrom the
party He approved of those parts OF the Presi-
dents annual message relating to the protection of
domestic industry, TO the improvement OF the rivers
and ha rbors independence of executive influence,
the restriction of the veto power and the duty TO
stand by the union of the States. In these he recog
Missed the faith of the Wing party, for which he had
ever contended. But he did not approve OF the
recommendation of the President, TO take no action
with regard to the territories; and while he was
willing to accord to the Executive high patriotic
motives, he could not concur in this He could not
the consistency which urges law for California,
and no law for New Mexico. The delay which the
President recommends comes into conflict with
what he (Mr. CO. had always been led to regard
as fundamental tenets of Wing faith. By delay,
military commanders could govern the territories
II has been doctrine of the Wing party that
utiye power should be curtailed. II you leave the
people TO form their own State constitutions, then
! you meet with opposition from the South.
He then proceeded TO show how the South have
aggressed on the North, among other things by de-
stroyng the tariff act Of 1892 and paralyzng the arm
Of industry, by repeating that Of 1912, with the ac
Of the votes of Texas; by treating petitions with
scorn, by burning in etiigy a Senator who utterec
sentiments not agreeable 10 the South; by the de
claration Of Mr.. Foote, that if a certain northern
Senator should come 10 Mississippi the people woulC
hang him on the highest tree; and by expelling Mr.
GIDpIsGs from the House for presenting a memo
rial asking for the dissolution of the Union He hsc
not been twenty four hours in this hall before b,
heard southern men declare that, in certain event
they would dissolve the Uron doing the very thin

aggression by the South this. Ifslavery was &C

we had better repeal the avs which declares the
slave trade on the Africa coast piracy One OF
the purposes for which tn Union was formed was
to prevent the extension oslavery, which was mo-
rally, socially, and politically wrong; and he then
referred to the authority distinguished southern
men, among them Warrington and Jefferson, in
support OF hs position. Etry slave State, in former
times, had taken measure with this view; and be-
cause the North ask the Saith 10 go with them, and
stop slavery where il is, thy say they will dissolve

the North will stand by he bond Of their fathers
