Mr.. CHAsE-Before the question is taken on this
amendment of the Senator from New York, wish
10 saw a word or two The frat is 10 regard TO the
general appeal made by the Senator from May.
land. In reference to that have TO say tnat
never understood the honorable Senator from New
York as stating the proposition ATTRIBUTED 20 nun
BY the Senator from Maryland. But think tnss
matter il sufficiently disposed OF by the quotation
from the speech given by the Senator from Connec
ticut OF course have no idea OF concurrlng IN
the measure which the Senator from Maryland has
intimated a purpose Of bringing before the Senate
/ would rather express wish that instead OF TINS
general denuDciatioD, and instead of an occasional
threat of expeLing some Senator, they would put
that purpose in definite FORM aud have the action
of the Senate upon it. | have nothing further
to say upon that point Ill

MIR. CHAsE-No, Sir / cannot
Mr. FoorE-I wished only to crafty your wish
MIR CHAsE-I expressed no wish that the thing
should be done But l think it would be great
deal better instead Of announcing purposes, to do
deeds. Now, in regard 70 the amendment pro
posed by the Senator from New-York. oil have
to say is that when the Constitution OF New Next
co is before this body, and the boundaries In the
Constitution are found to be such proPe and
legitimate am ready to vote for the admission OF
| New Mexico with these boundaries. IL the boun
daries are not found to be such as fhe Is legitimate

10 explain my position upon that point, ask leave
TO read to the Senate q resolution adopted by the
Democracy OF Ohio, assembled In Convention on
the 4th OF July last Go not refer 70 that party
known as the :" Free Democracy" who hold opIn-
ions on the subject Of Slavery not altogether In &C.
cordance with those now entertained by the old
Democratic party. i refer to that body oil the De-
nocracy that supported the honorable Senator
from Michigan ct the last presidential election, and
not to the portion that supported Mr. van Buren.
Well Sir. that Democracy held Convention on
the last 4th of July and this was the resoutiont that
was unanimously adopted. | quote the resolution
