Mr.. GROW, in the course OF his remarks,
said that few weeks since the House passed resolu
against their introduction in any FORM and against them
on their final passage for stated In the resoiu
tons themselves, namely that any further agtt OF
the cue ston useless and cessaIyno believing
that discussion side Of the quession is not ag
taei while discussion the other side Is He saw no
benefit which likely TO accrue to the country from
their passage The only result was 10 open the agta-
ton aud to ian into flame the Goals which would soon
have gathered cinders enough to cover themselves.
The House were told, the slave holding states were
constantly complaining of the Norths keeping up aea-
ton TO the detriment of the peace and repose OF the
Country But strange as it may seem, no sooner had
Congress convened than gentlemen found themselves
on the eve OF q sectional controversy What lncendl-
ary has attempted TO fire the Temple OF Liberty Be-
fore the Heuse met; the gentleman from Tennessee
Polk) introduced compromise resolutions into me de-
mocratic Caucus and the first day OF the sessions,
similar resolutions introduced into the Senate by
Mr. Foote Of Mississippi; and resolutions, declaring
the Compromise fnality were subsequently ln'ro'
duced in the House by two gentlemen from Georgia
The agitation came from Southern gentlemen. Here
and there in the North there might be found an In
diydua shess to the Constitution but the great mass
tue to all its guarantees and principles ana they
viii transmit them unimpaired to succeeding genera
tons There has not BEEN he repeated, any aglta'
ton by the who were opposed to the mea-
sures OF Compromise, and In CONCLUSION ne pre-
tested against declaring the Compromise measures
a fnaliy He would leave them like all other laws
on the statute books, open to such amendment
as the Constitution Of the people may hereafter require,
without endesyorng TO invest them with sacredness
and dignity 10y repeated enactments. There was no oc-
casiOn TO DO this Union which has been IN
existence three and ten years, and which mas
grown from infant to the giant OF world ana
which is still progressing In its great mission under
Democratic auspices Goodrich remarks in his sning
speech that Cartier had noen the House that he hsd
been here years and that during that time slavery had
constantly been discussed and Mr. Bsyly informed
them that the question s not settled and every day
experience seems 20 assure them OF the fact there
is nothing before the House touching the institu-
hon of slavery which calls for the action OF Con-
| eress There may however, be few petitions, ask
Ing for the repeal modification OF the Fugitive Slave
Law but report upon the subject has come from the
Committee audvet the subject here and the Compro
mise measure are there They are the laws fine land
and no honest and good citizen will attempt to resist
their executon-snd no President, who has sworn to
execute the laws will refuse to do The gentleman
frtm Virginia and other Southerners imagine that sav
cry not hereafter to be prohibited IN the Territories
and that the Fugitive Slave law Is never 20 be re-
pealed or modded-and they go further, and say that
all who refuse endorse the Compromise in this sense,
disloyal TO the principles on which the Constitution
wac established.
| Goodrich earnestly combat,ed these points and de-
Tended the North from such charges and when he con-
| cuded,
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Illinois, obtained the
foor when on motion the Committee rose and just in
the midst of the confusion which prevailed crazy
womsn from the West arose IN the gallery aud pro.
ceeded pronuncismento sermon TO TIE House All
eyes were instantly ned to that point and although
there were cries of "order, turn her out &c, the
Speaker seemed to gather inspiration as ne pro-
| ceeded. u.
tu ber and they rushed to the gallery fer that purpose
but this wss no easy he stouty resisted say
Ing "Im man and won't be put sut :" aud II was not
until Giddpgs, who acquainted with him, went up
that the stranger was Quoted and gently led away by
him. The excitement soon subsidized and the committee
arose.
Mr.. McMuLLEN asked leave to intro
duce bill fixing the compensation Of members OF Cen
gress at fifteen hundred dollars year and mileage at
ten cents. Objections made, and the House adj
journed.
