REMARKS OF

Hon. MI. CLINGMAN, of North Carolina,
On the Territorial Boundary Bill, in the House of
Representatives, on Thursday, August 29th
1850. VI
Mr. CLINGMAN said, that when he offered
the amendment, it had not been his purpose to
say anything in explanation Of its provisions,
but he found that notwithstanding It had been
published in the Globe of this morning, num-
Der Of gentlemen seemed unacquainted with it !;
he would therefore beg the indulgence of the
House while offeHng.a few words ofexplanation
1t will be seen, sir said he, that it proposes to
take portion Of that territory allotted to New
Mexico by the bill of the gentleman from Ken
lucky, Mr. BoYDl that portion mean lying
west of the Sierra Nevada which never at any
time formed . part Of the Gid province Of New
Mexico.
1t also takes the southern portion Of the pro-
posed State of California, rs far north rs the
36th degree on the Pacific. 1t was my object,
sir, to select that point on the ocean which the
me untain ridge approaches nearest to, which is
somewhere from 55 deg 80 min. to 36 deg 80
min. The line ,uns thence eastward with the
crest of the Sierra Nevada until It reaches the
parallel OF 81 deg north latitude thence east
wardly with that parallel, which is the proposed
VI ~ ttS t'Siff'
and southerly with that great mountain chain,
which divides the eastern and western waters,
to tho boundary of the Republic of Mexico II
will thus be seen that the territory includes
nearly all of that portion Of our public domain
watered by the tributaries of the Colorado and
the Gila rivers. ] know little Of this country,
sir, nor does any one else seem to be much
better informed. 1t has seldom been seen by
white men, and our information with reference
to it is uncertain and vague. ! have no doubt
however, that the people who are to inhabit il
in future will find it most convenient to be con-
neeted with the inhabitants on the Pacific coast,
rather than with the people of New Mexico, to
the east of the great mountain range, and that
their natural outlet is in tho direction OF SiyesS
which water their territory
But there may be objection TO taking in the
southern portion on the coast upon the ground
that it viii be an interference with the proposed
State beg leave to remind gentlemen, how
ever, that the convention which met at San
Francisco has not the olde claim to this terri
tory. Those who made the constitution for the
State of Deseret, some seven months before the
time Of making the California constitution, in
cluded this territory on the Pacific within the
limits of their State Why disregard the prior
claim of Deseret to hold this territory? Is it
not as strong as that of those who have filed
up the basin around San Francisco? admit
that the people of southern California do not de-
sire to be included within the limits of the State
Of Deseret; but they are equally averse to form

should be exempt from sIayery. BY the amend
ment Of the gentleman from Kenlucky, il was
provided that all that part Of New Mexico. ex-
tending along, the east side OF the Rio Grande
from 800 to $50, shall be admitted with or
without slavery, as the people may determine, by
their application for admission into the Union.
Mr.. BROWN resumed. If we are left in that
condition in which we were by the annexation
resolutions, let stand on the original contract
What is asked by the South on the subject of
boundary, Is that che North shall give guarantee
that slavery shall not be disturbed when il is
found IN these Territories. Ifnot, letthe old con-
tract be Withdrawn But the South preferred the
old contract, which gives her all south of 81. 30
for her slave population, and gives all north Of
that parallel to the free States By that contract
the South was willing To stand. If gentlemen
then wished 10 buy territory Of Texas north of
$3.50, let them do il. If they then wish TO give
her ten millions, or fifteen millions, let them ,io
il. He would interpose no objection. But he
never meant to give his vote for any propostion
which was made to deprive Texas Of one inch Of
her slave territory. He was pledged 10 defend
the right Of all. And now here was a bill a.
which it was proposed to buy off portion Of
the slave territory Of Texas. He invoked the
vengeance of Heaven upon him if ever he gave
his vote for any bill or proposition which pro
posed to buy the soil Of slave State TO convert it
into free-soil

THE DAILY TIMES.
BOYHOOD AND MANHOOD.


IN, tor the merry, merry month of June,
When | was little lad
When the small birds threats were all in tune.
And the very fields were glad,
And the flowers that alas! were to fade too soon
In their HOLIDAY clothes were clad
Oh, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS well,
The scent of the morning grass
Nor was there sight, sweet sound or sweet smell,
;, That can e'er from my memory pass:
For they lay on my heart with the power of a spell
Like the first love l felt for lass
Ay, there is the river in which swan,
The field where used to play
The tosse where built the bridge and the dam,
., And the oak in whose shade lay!
But, oh, how changed thing am !!
And how unchanged are they
lime was-ah that was the happy time
When longed man to be-
When shaven chin was a thing sublime
And fine thing to be Iree
And methought had nought to do but climb
10 the height Of felicity.
But, alas! my beard is waxen grey
Since mingled among men
And Pm not much wiser, nor half so CAV.
Nor so good as was then;
And I'd give much more than | care to say
To be boy again.
