gardless of what might or might not be done else
where. This bill was one of The series of mea
sures intended to restore harmony and concord
and was therefore opposed to the postponement.
The debate was further continued by Messrs
FooTE, Downs, PRArr and MANGUM, when th
questions upon Mr.. PRATr's motion to postpon,
the bill one week, was taken and lost as follows {:
| YEAs-Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Barnwell

Mr.. PEARCE offered his amendment for pun
mittee Of Thirteen.
Mr.. CLAY opposed the amendment, and
thought it would be best to pass this single subjec
Of the slave trade unmixed with those other ques
tons.
Mr.. BUTLER considered that the free colored
people of this District, Notwithstanding many
respectable persons were among them, had be-
come nuisance, requiring some further restraints
of law.
Mr.. PRATT maintained that in point Of law
the slave trade does not now exist here, and re-
cited the laws Of Maryland and the District laws
| upon the subject. lie was, however, opposed to
the bill measure Of agitation, and referred to
the resolutions Of Virginia and of Nashville Con
vention against such an act. At all events, as he
was compelled to attend one important election in
Maryland in the interim, and as this bill vitality
effected his constituents, he moved that it be post
poned till Monday next Lost, lS to 10.
Mr.. CLAY conceded that the senator from Ma
ryland had correctly given the law. But it was
not necessary to state the law. He was satisfied
of the fact of the slave traffic existing in the Dis
trict; and his object to abolish the nuisance
these private jais, these slave pens, as they are
called.
The question recurred upon Mr.. PEARCE IS
mendment-substantaly:
| |. That any free white, or free colored person
who shall be convicted of kidnapping or abstract
ing slave shall be liable to the Penitentiary for a
term not exceeding ten years, nor less than two
| years
| 2. That for any slave lost by STAKEHOLDER in
this District, through the agency Of any free white
or colored person, the master Of such slave NAV
recover his value of such offender by process of
law.
The first proposition was agreed to-26 to IS
The second was agreed to-24 to lS.
With these amendments to the original bill
Mr.. FoorE, by general consent, withdrew his
substitute.
And on motion Of Mr.. MASON, the Senate
then adjourned.
