sary in consequence Of the influx from California.
Good explanations were given by hin.
MIR. BURT said 1t was not practicable to act on the
BILL ss 1t had not been printed and moved that II be
referred to the Committee Of the whole the State
Of the Union. Disagreed to. The bill passed.
THE Presidents ANNUAL MESSAGE.
Mr.. DuER offered . resolution that, unless sooner
brought to conclusion the debate the annual
sage of the President In the Committee of the Whole
on the State Of the Unon shall cease on Thursday at
2 O'Clock.
On motion of Mr.. HcE, 1t was laid on the table.
THE STATE or THE UNION.
The House then went into Committee Of the Whole
Mr BAY, Of Missouri after . few structures on the
course Of the administration, said that pledges had
been broken and ultra instead of moderate, men sp
pointed in the cabinet and democrats prescribed for
their opinions The reason OF the conflict between the
executive and the legislative departments Of the 60
verpment, that the people had been deceived and
betrayed and consequently they have 30 constituted
the House a. to prevent proper action a. to slavery
the South and the South seek repel the sggres
sion He did not believe, with Mr Brewn, Of Missis-
pl that slavery was great moral political blessing
had right TO interfere He referred to the States
which have thrown distractions In the way Of
Ing fugitive eaves to show that agitation commenced
in the North and that the South not responsible
for It.. All that the South intended that the peo
pie Of the territories shall determine for themselves
whether slavery shall exist not This is the only
principle on which the question can be settled and
any other would be in direct conflict with truth and
torsl preparatory to admissions into the
Union without interfering with those things belonging
he advocate for the admission of Californis into
the Union ss State, and no man was consistent who
advocates different course. The South has always
conded that the people have the right to determine
the question Of slavery for Themselves. He did not
believe that any moral power could keep out
Of the Union. Its admission Is demanded by public
opinion and public justice. The unanimous vote In
the convention, the clause prohibiting slavery was
evidence to his mind that the institution cannot exist
md he mt urD
position Inconsistent with the doctrine heretofore
occupied by the democratic party In conclusion, he
invoked the epirit OF copcaon, and warmly express
himself in favor of the preservation of the Union.
ME-. STEVENS Of Penps alluded to the speech Of Mr..
Cngmsn who he raid was selected to open the debate
OF human bondage and IL threatened that unless
the North would submit Internationally to the terms
Of the South, the Union shall be dissolved Not only
the country but posterity would this rank
treason In his Judgment slavery great evil and
taesmen and philsnthropsts they ought to oppose
It, While he announced his settled hostility to slavery
he would stand by the mpromses of the constitution
and help to carry them into faithful effect although
Of the s -sns oPsn tor they
an examination Of the evils Of slavery on sell, con-
trsstng the superior condition Of the whites He was
hprg IL to Its present limits like cancer, II be
eradcated IL would cut the vtas Of the South
ssos slavery IN the Ss s.oSSes
dpotrm The rulers Of this country consist OF about
siStesn mcns Of whites The ruled consist Of slaves
They ruled BY laws to which they gave their
consent The slave stripped Of every right, aud
Is the Of desperate sway The slaves Of Athens
we're kings in comparison. No Northern man, either
by omission or commission can be base or cowardy
enough to fkulk and allow slavery to spread
rood without being traitor to liberty and recreant to
his God. The South had too often found Northern
60 be their tools, when wanted. Good old Penn
tyania slssys ranked among her the
most sturdy slaves he hoped that there not
one aecursed Achsn among the representatives Of tree
men.
Mir. BurL said that be did not intend to speak on
the subject Of slavery TO discuss the dissolution Of
the Union, should the question come up, and he
hoped II would not. He should not be found among
the enemies of his country. He believed that the
uLion not to be and cannot be dissolved. He sent
up . resolution meniment TO those pending.
that much Of the Presidents message relates to
foreign affairs be referred to the Foreign
AfaIs, with Instructions to inquire whether Hungary
had not, In fact triumphed over Austria, and estab
lshed q, fseio government when special agent
there, ard whether the President did not depart from
the settled policy Of government and do violence
to principles and the wishes Of American people by
recognising her Independence. He gave history Of
Hungary and her battle fields, and maintained that
she had time the ability 70 sustain HERSELF and
the President censursble for not recognising the
de faefo sovtrpmeDt.
The committee then arose. and the House adj ourned.
