Mr. Clay's resolution, The Presf-
dent has receiyed-no officialTinfofn1n-
ton yet in regard to the case. .He
irepeats the laws ofthe United States.
which authorize the United States,
marshals to hire prisons for the con
finement of persons. He also states
that the laws require proclamation

terms denunciatofy of the conduct of
those who took dpartsing the affair at

under whose instIgations and induce d
ments the negroes were urged to
take those steps. He denounced in
no very measured terms, the proceed
lngs of MIR. Geo. Thomson, of Eng
land.
MIR, Hale followed, pronouncing
the proclamation of The President am
lmpohtic, unwise, unnecessary, and
weak proceeding. .
Mr., Clay replied and Mr.. Hale re-
joined with much warmth.
Mr.. Mason contunded that tho
law could never be executed without
a change in sentiment of the people
of the North TO surrender up fur
gitive slaves was a duty required by
| the constitution. Massachusetts had
laws upon her statute books, which
forbade the execution of her laws by
her officers and citizens. He held
Massachusetts false to her federal rer
| !ations s'tf" ilsip y
Mr., Cass agreed With Mr.. CIay,
He justified the acts of the President
and had no fear bit he would do his
duty.
Mr.. Dickinson followed, esptend-
ing that the law could and would be
executed. F 3F'"fh AlfN
Mr.; Clay continued The debate

Mr.. Butler contended that lEe Law
was worthless, as any law would be.
The North had determined relentless
war upon the institutions ofthe South
and no legislation could avert the
certain doom of the South. ,,9f
