what was stated In the newspapers Il asked Con
gross 10 recall the American Minister 10 France, a
matter owe which Congress had 10 control rms
petition wAs not type oi others on DINER SUBJECTS
cont from the same section OF the country, and ne
had determined to oppose Us reference 70 any Ooh.
miisee. and he did this With view OF showing mar
Congress has no intention 10 change the Established
policy Of this country.
Mr. DAWSON thought that there was no time
better than the presentio meet the issue presented,
no better time could exist than the present time TO
decide H. and 10 Committee better qualified than
tina, on Foreign Relations to give to the Senate and
the country report upon the whole SUBJECT III
there was 10 be change in tho poh y Of the Co.
yernment, let US have the change now. lfthere WAS
to be no change now was most appropriate time 10
cav so. He hoped that the subject would be re-
ferred, aud that the Committee would report upon
it, and then pooper issue would be presented.
Nh WALKER explained the nature o! the Society
Known as the Industrial Congress, and gave 1. and
It's members high character. He desired the refer
ence Of the memorial. The question would have TO
come before the Senate II must come, and Il must
be decided He thought the Committee on Foreign
Relations the best Committee TO examine and report
upon the subject
Mr MASsuw said he intended no disrespect to the
Industrial Congress This was not the proper mode
OF testing this question Joint resolution would
be inirOeuced tomorrow by the Senator from Rhode
Island which would place the whole subject OF
Intervention before the Senate. lie desired the
issue 10 come. He was prepared to meet all the
responsibility which could attach to firm opposition
to any change 10 our long, well known, and wisely
established policy.
Nh BUTLER agreed with the Senator from North
Carolina III all he had SAID. III thought the petition
should be met with prompt acton-that 1t should be
rejected. The aver OF the memorIallstS Is that
Congress would take such action as would disturb
all the provisions OF the Constitution on this subject
This society was composed, doubtless, OF respecta-
bic men, but Il was wholly irresponsible SO far as
any Iespou Sibly 20 the Constitution - hno~n ana
they ask Coneress to disreg the Constitution and
interfere with the Executive This Industrial So
cety may be an influential body 1t IS an influential
BODY IN New \ Tk and these New ork politicians
may think themselves wiser than the Constitution, ,
but he thought II best for the Senate, when they pre-
scented their Wild doctrines here, TO meet theIA at
once, and with pTomptneSs decide upon them.
Mr.. UNrERWooD thought Il better TO refer the petit
ton and have report upon the subject. The peil-
TONERS evidently, had not considered the powers OF
Congress, and it would be better, perhaps, to have
report ard In II pOln, out to them and all others
their errors He then made a personal explanation
IN regard to a letter published IN The Ner York
Herald, which the writer describes scene IN the
Senate DUNG the debate ga the hoSSuth reso-
luton
Bcdisco IL WIS stated was present, aud looked on

that letter writers would endeavor to stuff the public
press with such lies.
Mr. DAWSON denied having had any conclaye with
BOdsco
Mr. DAVIS considered the growing sentiment that
free Governments could be sustained and created by
bayoIetS, as utterly faAacous. Those Governments
must be maintained and preserved by the people
themselves. The events IN Europe had dem0ns.ra'
ted that there was not the proper wisdom and intel
lgtnce there TO establish free trnments and free
Institutions and sustain them when established. II
this could not be done when absolutism was over
thrown and the people triumphant, how could II be
done by foreign bayonets Suppose tyranny should
be oyerthrown by the lnerpO>tlon OF force IN behalf
OF the struggling people, Will those people De better
qualified thereby for adopting and preserving free
institutions How long had 1t been since Repub-
lean Government was oyefthrown IN single night
The whole fault Was thls-the people themselves
are not prepared suited for free nstltutions-and
intervention to give them such institutions does
more harm than good. He was not prepared to say
but that the time might come when the nlted states
should should not intervene. The day might
come when such thing would be necessary.
Mr. MASON was opposed 10 reference OF the mo
mortal, because Il asked Congress 10 90 tnaI whlch
Congress had no power TO do-to recall Minister
and because It asked Congress to do that whch
would be an unconstitutional interference with the
Executive power-the Executive branch ofthe Gov
eminent II they wanted the Minister TO France
recalled, let them address the President III the
subject is referred to Committee all that 'he Com
miltte could say would be that Congress hid no
mower to act He would say nothing ABOUT the late
events IN France, but he would say that the experl.
ence OF the last half century must have satisfied
every that the people of France are incapable OF
self government lie renewed the motion to lay
the petition on the table, which was decided as io-
