After consuming the morning hours
~ amendments to the Census bin, Mr..
Wi'mot asked that the COMMITTEES of
he Whole take up the consideration OF
! he California message, iu rna iiu him
make a f remaks. By unanimous
consent. the Census hil. was then laid
aside and ,hc message taken up. The
members drew around Mr.. Wilmof,
and the con,usiop which prevailed sub !
sided into respectful attention.
I Mr., WiInot then said. that debate
on The subject of Caliiornie. and the
great question concerning with il, had
in bis judgment prciuced Wonderful
results. The settled aud fixed purpose
of Southern mca had been discovered,
and there WAS no doubt as tothc ter.
mipation of the couhict; it was to ex-
tend slavery eNcr territories. II there
was any room for doubt heretofore,
there was doubt no longer. There
was no question more lraught with con-
sequences than the Ultimate decision
! Of that now in hand, and which is to,
determine the character and position Of
the Soulhern portion Of the country;
aud it will selllo another question, viz.s
whether The government is to be ad-
miuistcrcd in the spirit Which gave 1t
/ birth, or whether an arstocracy, bas-
ed on slave property and slave rePre>
Sentation, shall control il in this aspect.
1t has be6e ereccived by ;he South on
the part % southern men, bordering AL
most on madness. They are bon I'd by
no sacred ties to the Union, bat ban
ded together as ono man, tor the ac>
compli3hmcnt of OF their object, and
that is the perpetuily slavery. There
ris no disguise in this. The existence
Of the Union, and the stability of the
government is threatened by the south
aud in his judgment, their spirit Of
thrcatning and defiance must be resis-
ted, or the people of the North must be
the greatest Of slaves. What, he ask
ed, shall the line of our duty be pre-
1 scrihcd, under the pressure of treasona-
bic ihrcatsl Shall we be told what we
shall or shall not do, at the peril ofthe,
existence Of the government itself2 If
we submitt to this any longer our free
dom here and the fundamental princi-
pies Olthe constitution are undermined.
