might, by this course Of denGnclatlOn rouse tue
feelings of the Irish get their Applause, ana per
laps might get their support but he though, Ina'
BY welltimed and Judlc efforts, they would sue
coed more surely in ootaialng the pardon of OBnen
and his cOmpaHions.
He ympsthized deeply with those persons but he
was opposed 10 taking any step which would result
IN failure. John Bull had resentment enough to
hurl back any attempt 10 enact such reflection
upon his Government. lie would vote Tor any
measure or resolution which would approach the
rtish Queen, snd, as an act OF clcmency to these
eries ask for their pardon But any such course as
this OF asking their pardon and indirectly reproach.
Ipg the British Government with tyranny, he would
oppose, because It would inevitably defeat the END
contemplated
Mr.. SHIELDS thought there was much wisdom in
what the Senator had sa d. lie desired to have the
resolutions on this subject fixed for an early day.
He would then, when 1t came up, prepare modllI-
cation OF it, SO as 10 dispense with the necessity TOT
diplomatic application.
The subject was then laid on the table.
PETITIONS.
Numerous petitions were then presented

PooTE's COMPROMISE RESOLUTION
After the reception OF some further reports, the
Senate took up Mr.. Foote's resolution declaring the
Compromise measures a dehnltlvo settlement OF the
Slavery question.
Mr. DAVIS said he had voted for three or four of
The Compromise measures, yet he was considered
as an opponent OF the whole. lie was opposed
shis resolution. He desired TO see harmony and
peace pevade the land but agitation was not to be
quoted by agitation Agitation without the Capitol
not 10 be put down by agitation within 1t The
best way WAS to let these measures alone, and not
keep up agitation by attempting to give them new
vig0r and life. He examined the several Compro- |
mise acls--,he Admission OF CalifOmIa-thc Texas |
Boundary bill-the Abolition OF Slavery In the Dis
irct of Columbia. He had voted for these. These |
measures were final and could not be disturbed lie
had voted against the Territorial BILL because he
was opposed TO the further extension of Slavery
lie at that time was IN favor OF admitting New |
Mexico q State because the Constitution she had |
formed excluded slavery and If she had been adj |
mtted with that Constitution the slavery question
would be for ever settled within her limits. The |
resolution before the Senate, proposes 10 make
these territory acts hLal,tles, which could not be
repealed OF amended. lie thought tins altogether |
wrong. The day would come wnen New Mexico |
would be admitted as State, and when territorial |
acts would have to give way for state Constitutions

cause he thou6h 1t his duty 10 do So
lilo had no objection TO the proper execution oil
that part OF the Constitution providng for The rem
dton Of Fugitive Slaves. lie was not one who
held 10 enc part and rejected another part OF the
Constitution. lie would vote for any suitable law,
but he regarded this as unsuitable, and by It many
OF the fundamental principles OF the Constitution
were disregsrded. The Constitution 10 It's careful
protection Of the rights of citizens In life, liberty
and property, provided that no question involving
property TO the amount Of $50 would be decided
other than by Jury, and no man could be arralsned
without the judgment OF Grand Inquest and he
could not be tined for any Chense except by jury
OF his peers. This law totally disregarded the thai
by Jury
The Jury trial was the great shield between the
citizen ana power Tbs law provided for the de-
termination OF questions Of liberty, not by jury or
Judge, but by the decision Of inferior magistrate,
and that, too, by process most summary. tie
would not say the law was unconstitutional. Why
was not the trial by Jury allowed The only In
ference that could be drawn that Congress, in
passing this Law, had dlstrust OF the integrity OF
Jurors IN free States. He defended Jnries and cl
Iens of tree states from such charge. lie did not
agree With those who proposed resistance to this
law. .e was for letting IL stand till time should
satisfy those interested IN Il that the Constitution
would be better carried out by Law mdeY IN It's
resulted 10 the country by slavery agitation Con-
gress for the last two years had done nothing but
ieeislate on 1t The iron furnaces OF Pennsylvania
were closed. The cotton and wooden Spiadles
were stopped and the only answer which their
proprietoIs could receive TO prayers for relief and
protection was that Congress had no time to legis
late for anything bat Oh The Slavery question.
Mr.. MANeuM got The floor. ana SAID he would Yield
now to The new Senator IRON Mississippi but after
that Senator was done he would take tue hrst oppor-
Sunty OF Kidding the Senate OF thus resolution. The
debate on 1t. II II had any effect at all the most
perniolous.
The subject Was postponed Until TO morrow
