ri North committed its robberies upon th'
South-its aggressions upon their ri.h.'
and their honor. II The North wanted III,
|, Union TO be preserved, let them repeal Ihs
law " hich vioa,ed the Constitution, and de
priyet the South Of their rights under thi.
instrument. A spirit had been awakened
IN the South that must be saiisied-they
demanded a restoration OF their rights and
position. They were in earnest on this
subject, and would give evid nee OF the
tact, if the issue were pressed upon them.
The Senator from Vermont had said that
these resolutions expressed The sentiments
Of the civilized world. Sir,no man having
proper respect for himself would have
dared upon this floor to give expression to
such sentiments as these. No body Of men,
who deserved 10 b. recognised as belong
ing to q civilized country would ever have
so forgotten the respect due TO themselves
and their fellow citizens, as to give ex.
preston 10 such sentiments.
Mr.. Hale, of New Hampshire. remarked
tha the honorable Senator from Alabama
had convinced him of one thing, il he had
failed to convince hun Of any thing else
and that was, that concession TO fanatics
never satisfied lanalicism. He wanted the
North to know lhs: fact, and expressed the
hope that when N"rthern Senator's and
Representatives returned to their homes,
they would impress i! upon the timid and
waver:ng everyw here, that concession nev.
er satisfied fanatics.

exceedingly, with one OF the remarks made
by that Senator, and he believed tina, the
whole North would be gralife1. There

question. Well, now" said Mr.. Hale,
- it strikes me that these timid people will |
