ing the BILL which he considered one of the most mi
qutous bills that ever had passed He had obtained
information, since the passage of the bill through the

Hayes said he knew why this motion had been made
but it was not because any new information had
been gained by any member of the House. Mr..
Caldwell replied 1t is false! and Immediately a
scufie took place AS soon as order was restored a
committee was appointed to investigate, with power
to send for persons The House refused to reconsid
err The gentlemen are of the same party--Whigs.

with the Democrats last winter, and held Southern
Convention and every Congressional District South
OF Mason DIXoN's had been fully represented
therein, and the North thereby informed how far the
South would be imposed upon, the slavery question
would have been settled at once Yes, the South
might have dictated her own terms which as thew
would beer or ;pSu
to the North, would have been readily acceded to
for the Northern manufacturing. commercial, and
shipping interests which would not only languish
but starve without the productions and PATRONAGE of
the South could then have easily put down the bo-
tlonlsts. But the submissive spirit manifested on
the occasion by most of the Southern Wings to
Northern aggression, delayed the settlement of the
matter ten months, and even then the South did not
obtain by the adjustment what her honor interest |
and safety demanded, what in fact. Justice re-
quired the North to concede to her And now it
seems that the Fugitive Slave BILL which is admitted
by all hands to be CONSTITUTIONAL and which is the
only measure that adopted which has any re-
spect for Southern rights has been virtually nufed
already! Why are the Abolitonists so ready to null
lily law of the land, allowed to be constitutional
and which neither Expresses nor insults them Is it
because they encouraged by Wing submission at
the South Is it because of the Wing mis- repre-
sentatves from North Carolina, in the last Congress-
contended that the South had no cause of complaint
against the North Let us not censure all the
kinds of Wings among us-Republican State Rights

for 1t is not the slavery question alone that they

old protective tariff SYSTEM notwithstanding it bears
so heavily on the South Notwithstanding experience
has shown that the present rate of duties afford the
most revenue and Notwithstanding the South has
already been taxed out of about of all
the revenue for the support of government, and a.
bout equal amount to fatten the manufactures at
the North. And they also willing to assist in

though about seven-nnhs of all the appropriations
heretofore made have been made at the North
Now, if all the States in the Union were equally en-
gagged in manufactures then a protective tariff
would have tendency to up aristocracy in
the country, by taxing the many for the benefit of
the few, which would ultimately convert repub-
llcan form OF government into a monarchy But as
1t is, the North engaged in manufacturing and the
South in agriculture the evil effects to the South of
