U. S. SENATORS ON THE STUMP
The last Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate has
an editorial summary of speech de-
ivcred in that place, to an immense
throng on Monday, Nov. 4, by Hon.
Jere Clemens.
In addressing the assemblage, he read
first an extract in which secession was
declared to be positive blessing. He
said when such sentiments were an.
nounced it was time for every freeman
10 speak out. He then proceeded to
notice the disputed questions. Cali,
fornia had been admitted as State
into the Union, and if secession was to
flow from this, those who seeded must
denounce all who aided 10 secure her
admission. Now,a decided majority
of the representatives of Tennessee had
voted for her admission. Therefore, if
there were guilt in the matter, Ten.
nessee was guilty Unlike manner with
Massachusetts, and if we seeded from
Massachusetts, we should sccede from
Tennessee. ave must secede from
Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware, Mary.
land and North Carolina, for all these
States furnished votes for admission
and Texas, too--we must secede from
Texas, and that places US in rather an
awkward predicament."
Elk, Gov. c. c. Clay attempted re.
ply, which was only notable in two
things; he declared that he was not for
immediate secession or disunion, but
for resistance to the recent acts of
Congress, and that General Cass had
lodged the vote on the fugitive slave
bill 10 escape censure from the North
and South, and make capital for the
next Presidential campaign. Governor
Clay is Democrat, and was, we be.
leve, a Cass elector in ls4s. Mr..
Clemens replied effectively, and
vainly sought 10 force Gov. Clay to
say what he expected TO gain by re.
sistance.
