MIR. PREsIDEEr do not know that should have said

that reside myself in another Of the same kind.
Mr.. DAVIS. thought the senator said It was his col

as he has now corrected the statement, can only

will, however venture to say that without the high Gu
logy which he delivered upon that population, and which.
suppose he is to take home with him, might, who
only knew their representative have doubted their claims
to such and 80 numerous virtues trust ne will take
home with him also the speech he delivered recently IN

Let him tell them. he told the senator from Vermont
when he referred to the introduction Of the resolutions
now under consideration, that it convenience to get
up resolutions Of such import when senator is 10 be
elected thank him for the admission ne has made,
and wish he would ente himself TO lasting appreciation

the patriotism and justice Of the senator's 70
wild upon the rights Of others. and cause them to re-
fleet how far they had been made the unwilling instru-
ments OF demagogues seeking personal elevation
Of exciting their jealousy and passion against an
institution, domestic in its character, remote in its local
ity and with which they are wholly unconaected, save
BY the advantages it indirectly confers upon them.
But the senator makes another declaration which sur
prses being very well informed In relation 70 his
private ne is not member Of any o. those
institutions of the South, and that ne knows nothing OF
them.
am glad to hear it; and can now understand his de-
caraton that he knows OF associations for the pur
pose OF printing incendary publications to be circulated
at the South. We do know it, and i is strange that ne
does not Sir the New York Anti Slavery Society sends
out more publications. believe, than the Senate Of the
United States They sent not only into the southern
States, but that society has printed numerous publications
the object has been avowed by of agents and pub
LEGATIONS gratuously distributed, to prevent slavery from
being admitted into the constitution OF California Not
only this but they associated in close allaon with
similar societies in Great Britain and Scotland They &C
knowledge the contributions OF those societies to be ap
piled to these very Objects for which they are Iaoorng
according to their reports. Is very strange that
we, who stand so far of should know 90 much more in
relation to these matters than the senator from New
Hampshire Yet sir am glad that 1t is sothat such is
the act-because exoneraies the senator from New
Hampshire from much oil that culpabily which we had
heretofore assigned to him. s. y.
Mr. President. always enter into the discussion o.
because forced into 1t BY those who having nothing
10 do with nevertheless ndecenty interfere in do
nestle affairs have done So Sir, il is melancholy
fact that morning after morning, when come here to
enter into the calm deliberations proper and necessary TO
transact the business of the Senate, feelings should
be narrowed up by the introduction of this exciting and
prohtess subject and be compelled il preparatory
to legislation daily to listen TO denuncatory resolutions
and declamations against our institutions
These constant drppngs must neviiably-yes, SIR, and
speedly-wear away the bonds which have united us as
one people, causing our government to be revered at
home and respected abroad These such outrages
change the heart OF nation, and turn il from feelings
Of fraternity into the bitterness OF civil strife
How long will the warnings solemnly given be dis
regardedl How far is our patience to be taxed, and
LOYALTY to the Union abused II il be true, Is stated,
that we have shown more than just scnsbility about
interference with private affairs, what virtue and
patriotism derive from the fact additional reason for
caution and forbearancel
Arrogance and insolence could 60 no further than

Under long continued aggression. she has only asked
that in her domestic relations she should be let alone

simple claim cannot be refused, except at the hazard oil

II is time that northern should abandon heorzlng,
