The Celivery of the haIsDsues OF the Senator from

upon every stump In the South as an unmiu-

North upon the South. He thought the charge was
not correct. Who commenced the California Ques-
ton Mr.. Polk, a Southern man, was IN favor OF a
bill providing for her admission. That bill, though
1t better than the one that passed, recognized
the great principle that the people had right 10
frame a government for themselves. President
Taylor also FINN the South came next, and recon-
mended her admission as she now stands she was
admitted Was It by Northern votes Certainly

furnished more volunteers than any other two

interests as other Southern States, and II any wrong

II we commence secession from those who
wrOnged us, must commence with these two
States. He replied to the argument that the
admission OF California was unconstitutional, be-
cause States only could be admitted under the ton-
stituton, that all the States were territories up TO
the time OF their mission, except Vermont, Texas
and Tennessee. The Utah bill was complained OF.

the constitution and laws of the United States had
been extended the territories, aud thence drew
the conclusion that Congress- by these several pro-
VISIONS recognized and provided for the existence OF
slavery In Utah. If slavery was excluded there
from by these laws Of God and nature, what right
had the South TO complain All they could do, was
70 see that Congress DID not exclude It. congress
had not cone The South got, therefore, all she
claimed Slavery was going te New-Mexico. Inc

fact, and said that New Mexico would be admitted
as a slave state. The Texas Boundary Bill was

ROBBERY of four States from the South The very
champion of State Rights the late Mr. Calhoun, up
TO the hour Of his death, had denied to Texas any
title whatever to the territory gwen up By her. By
that act the territory OF Texas was extended up and
along the RIO GRANGE Tor nlne hundred miles to
none of which would Calhoun have admitted she
had any claim. The Fugitive Slave Law had been
execrated in the North and West-there were Out
few failures any where. There were some evasions
OF the law but il had been better enforced than any
oher statute OF the land. This resolution says this
Fugitive Slave Law Is 10 remain unrepeaed and I'M
amended. What apology can any southern man
give TO an trseed constituency for refusing TO
vote 1t Who will not vote to quell agitation Why
Will not the Senator vote for II The reason is OBJ
vlous. There is treason IN It.. lie was opposed 10
tic passage Of the law aboshiDg the slave trade In
the Distinct OF Columbia but as II formed part OF the
Compromise, he would not vote for its repeal to-
MORROW. The Senator complained Of the ,anf OF
1916 vet he and every other one of the south Caro-
lima delegation voted for It. He had never dwelt
much upon the right OF secession. lie never gave
much consideration TO the miserable right TO tear
assuncoT all The ties OF kindred anG OF affection, aud
break up all the sociatons OF the past. He denied
that there existed any such right. II was SAID
that Ncw-Nork and Virginia, IN adopting
