IL Government should undertake to check the
extension of slavery now, or at any future day,lt
would be overthrOwn. He believed the Govern
rnent would not make the attempt. IL 1t did, the
resnlt would be a revolution. The Southern PEG
ple look on the Government as the creation OF
their own hands. They do not regard the Union
with superstitious reverence. They could rely
on themselves. They feel that Providence has
made ample provision for them, and that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty. They were de-
fermined to keep, if they could, the Government
in the right track; and as long it does justice
they would never array themselves against it. AS
to the bill under consideration, he thought that the
whole system was liable TO gross abuse.
Mr.. ToOMBs, (Whig) Of Ga, earnestly opposed
The system .of internal improvements as one OF
wrong and extratagance, and calculated to bank
Tupt the government.
Mr.. GORMAN, (Democrat) of Ia, warmly OPP
posed the bill, and spoke of the evil consequences
Of concentrating various items for internal I'M
provements in one bill.
Mr. TAYLOR (Whigl Of Ohio, supported the ap.
propriations for the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
and their tributaries, strictly constitutional and
loudly called for by the internal commerce. which
was thrice as large as the foreign. In the course
of his remarks, he referred to the recommends
lions OF the President for the settlement OF the
questions which agitated the country last year,
and said that the President had in this shown
frmness, moderation, prudence, and, above all.
wisdom, and he read from letter written by Mr..
Webster, addressed TO q meeting in Westches-
Ter county, New York, saying that the Presidents
message expressed fully and plainly the opinion
OF all those associated win nlm IN the cbOlnet'
Mr. GIDDINGs, Free Soil of Ohio, wanted to
know whether there was any other authority for
saying that Mr.. Corwin is in favor of the Fugitive
Slave Bill.
Mr.. TAYLOR said he had no other. twas a let
ter from the chief gentleman OF the Cabinet, who
is an honor to the country and the world
Mr.. GIDDINGs remarked that colleague had
lust assured him that Mr.. Corwin had stated dis
fictly that Mr. Ewing his successor in the Senate,
bad voted on the Fugitive bill precisely as he,
Mr. Corwin, would have voted and he was as
sured by another gentleman that Mr.. Corwin was
not in favor of that law.
Mr. ScHEScK (Whigl Of Ohio-An issue Is
made in the remarks Of my colleague. | under
take to say, so far as the representative from my
State in the Cabinet is concerned, that whatever
bis vote on the Fugitive Slave law would have
been as Representative or Senator, IN being
called to vote on the law, as member OF the Cab
met he was entirely satisfied with the recon-
mendation OF the President under all the clrcum-
stances as proper to be made to the country.
Mr.. TAYLOR was glad to hear the remarks OF
his colleague, because they might be relied on.
At 4 o'clock, without taking a vote, the Com
mittee rose, and the House adjourned.
