ted to the people. Mr. Clay took the floor, and %.
ter few remarks proceeded TO address the senate
in favor of the bill, and in answer TO Objections
urged against 1t. He commenced by expressing his
firm conviction that Danger to the Union does exist
and and 1t required immediate action to arrest that
danger. He was no alsrm,st, but must be n.ucA
mistaken in the signs Of the times II they do not BE-
token danger. He named the solemn resolves Of
several Legislatures in favor Of extreme sectional
views, in the event Of admitting California passing
the WiImot Proviso, for abolition Of slavery In Tie
District Of Columbia, etc. II he should have occa-
sion to refer to the plan recommend by the is.s

nection he passed beautiful tribute to the memo
ry OF Gen. Taylor--said he had known him probe.
bly,, longer than any other man in Washington. He
knew his father well, as one Of the best and most
intelligent citizens Of Kentucky. He had known
the late President since the time he entered the

their respective positions in different service. He
had always known him to be coed. honest, brave
mau-he had covered his whole head with lsursls,
and had added honor and glory to his county,
Without saying anything as to what would have
say in reference to his administration, in COS
nection with Foreign Affairs, as they had been de-
veloped, it met his hearty and cordial appreciation
peace to his ashes. Mr. Clay considered the pro-
priety Of admitting New Mexico As State, declr.
ing his conviction that she was not in state Of
turty essential to state and that she could not b
admitted as such at the present time.
Mr. Mason called on Mr. Clay to say whether 10
had known OF any consultation held between South
err Senators and Senator's from free States.
Mr. Clay. No. But will the Senator say that
Southern Senator'S opposed tn the bill have not had

Mr. Mason. We hrve frequently had consuiss-
lions in reference to the matter. which affect the
honor, dignity and safety Of the south.
Mr. Clay. Yes, no donbt OF il, and others have
had manyconsu latons it'll reference TO the honor,
dignity, safety and perpetuity ofthc ruion. (Gfsss
applause in the gallery, which checked with
