not be dissolved Ii cannot be dissolved II the Con-
stitution be not amended, because no man knows
better than the Senator from South Carolina (Mr
Calhoun) that this is impossible. He comes out
boldly.
Mr. s.. in the conclusion of his remarks, (of which
the above is but hasty glance,) appealed TO his
southern friends to look to it, and when they reach
Nashville, recall to mind what Jackson did. lie
believed in an overriding Providence Washing
ton had two horses shot from under him. Jackson
saved the Union in 1888 General Taylor will do
his duty, and remotest generations will sound his
praise The Union must be saved, and will be
saved. Let gentlemen carry on their schemes.
The great mass of the southern people right.
He would say, in the name of the good people Of the
North State. this Union cannot be dissolved. Those
whom God has joined together, no man put
asunder.
Mr.. S. was applauded on the conclusion of his
| speech.
Mr.. STANTON, of kentucky, obtained the floor.
The CHAIRMAN requested gentlemen TO resume
their seats. many having risen to leave the hall.
MIR. billiard (by the courtesy of Mr. STAN
TONI was allowed few minutes to make few re-
marks, but on the advice Of friends, he said he
| would defer doing until to- morrow morning.
The Committee then rose, and the House ad-
journed
The Reporter for the Republic did not, he learns,
correctly understand the remarks made by Mr.
! STANLy, upon the motion to refer the correspond
ence between Sir HI NRY l.. BULwER and the Sec
rotary Of State relative to the idea on the part of
| the Government of the United States, to increase
] the duties on British IRON"
| Mr.. STANLY said that this whole subject should
| go to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. 1t had
been very properly referred to that committee this
morning. What, he asked, had the Committee on
Manufactures to do with these matters which
| touched the basis of our commercial intercourse
with foreign powers
MIR. s. supposed, without having had an oppog-
tunty Of reading the papers, that some Legislative
action was required to carry out treaty stpula-
| tions-and If the letter of Sir HENnY BULwER had
no reference to any treaty, Mr.. S. could only say,
it was an interference totally unauthorized by the
| minister from England. II was no part of his duty
to make suggestions to Us relative to the proprety
ofour legislation Mr.. S. thought the duty on iron
ought 10 be increased.
