On motion of Mr.. GROW, the House went
into Committee Of the Whole on the state Of the
Union Mr.. SEYMoUa, Of Connecticut, in the
chair.) and resumed the consideration Of the In
dian appropriation bill
Mr.. GROW then addressed the House, strongly
opposing the endorsement Of the fnality Of the
compromise measures. The Democracy Of the
country, he said, was now asked to strike from
their banner-a banner which had waved in tri-
umph, for more than half century, an emblem
Of progress and great American idea--the princi-
pIe that, at all times and under all circumstances,
the legislation Of the country was subject to the
control ofthe majority Of the American people,
and were asked to inscribe in its place the new
and strange doctrine that, as the last Congress
passed upon a particular subject, it became a
6naliiy. He would endorse no doctrine Of final
ity in American legislation, for it was not in ac
cordance with the genius and principles Of our
institutions, nor with the true idea Of American
progress Though recognizing the binding force
Of the Constitution, yet he was opposed to the
present fugitive slave law being too severe and
too unjust.
Mr. GOODRICH next spoke and repealed the
charge of disoyaty the part of the North to
the Union, because opposed to the present fug-
tive slave law. The people OF the North were
devoted to the true prir ciples Of the Union; and
nowhere that devotion purer or stronger than
in Massachusetts,, although he had heard people
OF that State say that the fugitive slave law might
be modified. And was not this in accordance
with our principles. and had this free people a
law for the return Of fugitive slaves, which in its
permanency was to override the Constitution,
and stand unaterabe : He then argued to prove
that the power to prohibit slavery 10 the terrific
ries was full and ample by the admission and ar
guments of one of the ablest Of Southern states
men in the present Congress, Judge BEhRIEH, OF
Georgia. He next argued that by the declara-
tto ns nd oniuiOna ofa Mother M legs In.
ed Southern Senator and statesman, now alas no
more, the anti-savery sentiments Of Southern
people were not only justified, as sentiments of
feeling, but as just principle.
The committee then rose,
And the House adjourned.
