District well Of the country at large To adopt the
amendment of the Senator from New York, with the
anty that cannot become law would be to destroy
all that this bill promises The very vague and imperfect
form Of this amendment shows that the Senator himself could
not have expected to become law again repeat that its
only effect is to do HARM and open the present period Of
hopedor harmony another deeply agitang subject Of dis
cusson. Sir, the time is not aupicious the close Of the
session Just hand the patience Of the country is exhaust

feeling about settling down temporarily least upon the
condition Of things late events have left them, whether
rghtfu wrongful Is wise prudent this point Of
time TO open this subject of agitation Sir, bills have
passed this Congress in which able concur, in
which think the North sacrificed too much but they hare
passed. and for not disposed thus the instant to
disturb the present condition Of things and excite the ee-
ments Of fierce dscord Let if the popular mind
will quiet itself let US make end Of this matter OF slavery
for the present least have had and the country, am
sure, has had enough Of it. But without consuming time
in further remark repeat that here elsewhere
can believe that this proposition become law ana
though not intended its adoption by the Senate VIII Ger

the amendments adopted here will be rejected by the House,

Mr.. DAVIS, Of Mississippi find little controversy be-

punishment which should be visited upon him who
his slave property into the District Of Columbia is assu-

whether the individual who introduces slave into tho
District shall be fined, whether the slave shall be manu-.

grant of the constitution, but attempted 10 draw from the
fact that like power has been exercised by State which
being sovereign over its territory, may have for public
purposes refused under certain conditions to allow slaves TO
be introduced within its borders Yet what State ever Ieos
avey refused to allow citizen of the United States TO
through its borders with slave And that is the panye Of
the prohibition presented here No one expects that slaves
be brought into the District for sale and residence
and the whole argument directs itself to the traders who
bring slaves here, and keep them in depot with the intention
Of sending them elsewhere is then the right of transit

Mr.. PEARCE. Very well. ! am perfectly content to

Mr.. BADGER Do you mean not less than five hundred

Mr.. FooTE No. less than one hundred nor more than
FIVE. TIL @.r. &....~
Mr.. BADGER am best satisfied with the provisions of
this section stands the original bill think that there
great deal in the suggestion of the Senator from Kentucky
Mr CLAr that it the eectual and appropriate
penalty that the person who in violation of law brings
slave here shall incur forfeiture Of the slave. But have
impression that that provision would be better the for
fixture incurred by the proprietor, without changing the
| status Of the slave to that OF freeman.
The case of con,raband which the Senator has referred
where the goods forfeited but they do
to be subjects of property. have said satisfied with
the provision stands and shall make effort myself to
amend but still it that the policy would be
better if the STAKEHOLDER who brings his slave here for sale
should forfeit bis right in the slave without the slave becoming
free The consequence Of the provision that he shall
become free is that you Furnishing the District Of Coum

ies power to prohibit their incoming and TO regulate those
