who have fed from wealth. and its inequalities in order
to be socially morally, politically, and speak, pc
cuniarily, equal and free.
Gentlemen from the South who acknowledge in their
hearts, il not BY word Of mouth, these TRUTHS seek
them by dividing California, making OF part a
State, and of another Territory. If were to consult
only the fee-so passion OF the day. and to with
pecal reference to my section that point, should

columns of slave emigration overland overtake and

it is from Canada, the northern part Of the Attain
TIC coast. The great and impressive motive have in
resisting the division of California, comes from the great
danger of being day other, ruled by the men,
bers the Senate from Mexican acquisitions As
resident of Atlantic State, do not want my people
to be outnumbered, outrepresented, outvoted in the
United States Senate. do not want the Atlantic
to bow down to the Pacific. When look upon the map,
and survey the almost unreasonable regions we have

sovereignty in the Union wish to do all can to
that result wish 10 make oil CALIFORNIA, oil Otan- oil

interest of these thirty States Of
those States to come; aye, the very largest unless

resist the division of California, and rather
that she has not taken more that she CLAIMS 10 divide
her. it thus seems is injury to the North
and the South to be aggravated the South, if what
to be certain follows viz: the establishment of
two free States there, instead of Even if 90

this is what meant, when spoke of destiny, the de-
of Providence, the fiat OF Almighty God. The

with that decree of Providence; and he think
Providence has done enough for section of the
Union he will do something He asks us TO face

us he will ''smoke the doughaces out" He renews
here to-day proposition that he introduced at the early
part of the sesson-an abstraction which attempted to
exclude slavery by law when governments were estab

members of this Congress from the free States were
elected, in the MAN, amid this excitement, and they
