SENATE.
THURSDAY, January 10.
After the presentation Of numerous petitions and
memorials, and the transaction of the usual morning
business, the Senate proceeded the consideration Of
the question of printing the Vermont Resolutions.
Mr.. Chase, the new Freesoil Senator from Ohio,
spoke in favor Of the printing, and generally on the
Slavery question. He said no threats of disunion
would prevent the people of the North
from carrying out their sentiments. He asked what
the South had to complain of. She had always had
her share in the Offices and honors, and at this time
she had Speaker and the Committees in both
| Houses. He said Congress ought to apply the Will
mot Provso to the Territories and he asked why the
South should apprehend danger from the exercise Of
the power he claimed for Congress abolish Slavery
in the District. The South. he said, ought to meet
these questions in the spirit which actuated the franz
Of the Constitution, and not with threats of dis
union.
He was followed by Mr.. Clemens, of Alabama,
| who spoke at considerable length. He said this
question of Slavery the South desired only to be let
alone. The North had no right to touch it in any
way and he asked what the Northern people would
say if the South fill the capitol with petitions
burn down their factories and destroy their
featuring pursuits. Would they submit to it! He
replied generally to Mr.. Chase, and concluded by
observing that there were two classes of men who
had brought the country to her present state First
band of Northern fanatics, who, regardless Of every
principle of justice and proprety-regardess of the
Constitution, and of all the moral ties which should
govern the actions of man towards another-had
pursued the South with relentless efforts to degrade
her, Secondly another class which was at the South,
for whom he entertained even less respect; timd,
hesitatng, shrinking class, who have always been
afraid TO march up to the line and meet the enemy
who was invading their rights.
| Mi. Clemens was followed by Mr.. Hale, who
spoke in his usual strain He denied that there were
clubs at the North, far he knew, formed send
incendiary documents to the South He said he
"had never known the slave to be told any thing
to bow with submission to the power they cannot
resist They are told to direct all their energies

| Mr.. Butt, South Carolina, spoke next. In re-
ply to the charge of Mr.. Chase that there were dis
unionsts in the South he said that the people of the
North held the scissors of fate in their own hands.
was with them to say whetheri it should be closed
had no desire to be placed advocate of dsunion.
The South had done nothing looking to disunion.
No such wish had been expressed. The history of
the country negatved such proposition. The his
tory OF this question for the last few years contained
no evidence of it. The South had shown themselves
ready to adopt every compromise that had been pre-
sented. When the proposition to extend the Missouri
compromise to the Pacific ocean had been proposed
in the other House by southern man, it was voted
down and rejected with scorn. Then came Mr.. Clay
dgested with great care-who voted for it. the South
| l-those who now are charged with making war up
the Union. Then came the proposition Of the gen.
tleman from Wisconsin, which merely extended the
Constitution and laws of the country over the terri
tories; and that, too was supported by the South.
