a committee, learn, Of the last Congress.
of which the gentleman from Mississippi
Mr.. BROWN was = member, 10 abolish

say. sir. that had General Csss been elect
ed President, we should moi have heard
all this oulcry.
Here allow me TO say. sir. that no man
in his senes believes Congress will ever be
guilty either Of the outrage or the folly of
abolishing slavery 10 this District; except
ing Of course those fanatics who think the
constitutional an " agreement with He'll"
II any sensible man ever thought OF il,
would ask him cm bono? Would il no,
inevitably lead to the abolition the gentle
men from Massachusetts (Mr. Mann)
spoke Of! Would il not separate husband
and wife, patent and child! And owner
OF slave can take him out OF The District
when he pleases. And what would be
the condition OF those free negroes now
married TO slaves! do not believe We
will ever have President who would app
prove such a bill. If Mr.. Van Buren,
were President, I would trust even him;
and although he had pledged himself not
to veto The bill, believe he would do il.
Such an act would justly be regarded
by the southern States as declaration Of
hostility on the part Of the North. and
they would act accordingly.
Here Mr.. Slanly was rudely interrupt
ed BY Mr.. Hilliard OF Alabama, which led
10 controversy between Mr.. Hillard and
Mr.. Stanly. which is reported al length in
the Daily Globe of March 9TH. 1850, 10
which paper Mr.. s. specially refers. as
other reports hare been garbled.
Mr.. Chairman, when | was interrupted
by The gentleman from Alabama, was
speaking, think, Of the aggression on the
South.
Yes. the South has been terribly OPP
pressed! Ont Of the sixty years since
The Constitution was framed. The South
has had The Presidents all Of The time ex-
cepl twelve years and one month. We
have our share OF other high offices. How
is il now! In the midst of this formid ,ble
invasion Of our rights. when the Abolition.
ISIS are so strong, we have eleried south.
