Now, Sir, allow ne TO call the attention ol
the Senate toa very painful duty which
am constrained to perform, but which shall
perform nevertheless, let it subject me TO
what Interpretation it may, here or else.

Executive TO that Of the Committee, let hun

| am about to make here.
What is the plan of the President 10 he
first p'ace, Mr.. President, let me say, that It
Is most apparent, that every friend Of his
country must be anxious that all our difficult.
lies should he settled, that we may once more
restore concord and harmony to this country.
Now wha: is The plan Of the President!
Will desc ribe 1t by e.mile, IN a wav which
will not be easily misunderstood. l1e.e are
five wounds bleeding and threatening de.
s,tucion TO the country. What is the plan
OF the President To heal all hose ounds :
No sir; no such thing it is to heal one on.
y OF the five and leave the other four bleed.
ing, even il il produces death itself! | say
FIVE wounds are bleeding there is Cali(or
hia, the FIST; there are the Territories, the
second there is The question Of The BouGda.
ry Of Texas, the third there is the Fugitive
Slave bill, the fourth; there is The quesion
of Slavery IN the District Of Columbia, fifth.
The President proposes--insead Of plan
comptehending all the diseases Of the coun.
(uy-a plan " hich locks only at one, aud re.
commends il, it is true, bu, the recommends.
iion does not embrace the fugitive slave bill
or the district bill-bu, he recommends the
two others 10 remain untouched, to cuie them
selves by some law OF nature, o. some opera
'ion which he does not deign TO disclose.
! have seen with surprise and regret the
persistence - for so am compelled, painful.
y, to regard it-fiom The Chief Magistrate
Of the country, in his own peculiar plan. |
think, in spirit of Compromise, the Presi.
dent ought TO have come to US, aud not we 10
him. Wha, was his plan The admission
of California. We we're willing to admit
California, and it comprises part Of the gen.
eral scheme which we have offered TO the
country. Ia The spiri, Of Compromise which,
trust does, and which know ought to an.
innate both sides Of Pennsylvania ayenre, we
had right to suppose, the Executive would
be satisfied. We went as far as he went, bu,
thought he did not 60 far enough to heal all
the wounds OF the country, and therefore of.
ered him our measures To close up the four
} remaining wounds. think, in that spiri, Of
peace and concord which ought TO animate
J ihe different departments Of the Government,
the President should have hailed with pleas
} ure the plan which we offered, embracing as
1t drd, the very plan which he proposed as
part Of itself, and ,ha, there should have been
no dissatisfaction expressed in his name or
bv hls authority.
Let US io a little further into this com.
parison, which make most painfuIiy.-
When | addressed the Senate some time
, since, was IN hopes that there would have
been a reciprocalion from the other end Of
) the avenue, Of approval Of the entire scheme,
, rather than Of this part of it only, which Of
, Itself would exnsperate and aggravate, instead
Of harmouzing the country. did hope that
We should have had some sign, in some form
OF other, of the Executive satisfaction with
. the entire scheme.

stops, as | have already said, with the simple
introduction Of California as State into the
Upion,--a measure with which, standing by
