he had heard with regret that these interests, as
we'll as other manufacturing interests, in various
parts of the country, were greatly suffering Ofone
thing the country might be assured, until this ag-
tation OF slavery was disposed of in way or the
other, none of these interests could receive any at
| tention on the part Of Congress. He moved that
the petition be laid on the table, which was agreed
to.

Hers on public lands. The amendment pending
was TO confne donations of lands to free whites
Mr. Giddings earnestly opposed it. He spoke of
the intelligence and patriotism of many blacks
MT Fitch said, whether ii was adopted or not il
would make no difference as the people of OREGON
had excluded negroes, because they amaIgamaied
With and led the Indians to mischief
Mr. Sackett commended that the Legislature of
that territory had power TO exclude c0lored PEG
pie, and if Congress saw fit to make grant of
lands to whites, the blacks had right of grant for
their own benefit
Mr. Conrad thought that Mr.. Giddinps was in
some degree connected with the negro race. He
was of opinion that it would benefit both races to
dIfiuse blacks over the country on the Pacific.
Mr.. Mchlullen replied to Mr.. Giddings and said
it was true Virginia blood of noble character whe
Iher m the veins of blacks or whites. Laughter
II he (Iiddingsl would go to Virginia, he would be
