The House adjourned.
SENArE-Mr. Smith presented the reso
lulons OF the Legislature OF Connecticu
on the Nebraska bill and the repeal of tn
Missouri compromise. After presenting
in strong terms his views againt the repeal
as violation Of national faith, he declar
ed his fixed purpose never to consent I
the legal or actual admission Of slavery int
territory from which twas excluded by tn
act Of 1890, or of admitting OF slave State
from any portion Of that territory.
Mr.. Cass remarked that he hoped thes
resolutions, when put into plain Englist
do not mean another Hartford Convention
i Mr.. Smith replied to MIR. Cass in sever
terms. The Hon. Senator may, if h
pleases, stgmatize sentiments emanatin
from a Hartford Convention. They ar
the sentiments OF the free men of Connec
ticut; and believe they will turn out to b
the sentiments of an Overwhelming major
ity, of the people of Michigan.
! Mr.. Cass. laheard all this kind of de
nuncia,ion forty years ago. and with a
much violence and emphasis as can b
used here. And heard the Hartford Cor
vention defended as rightiul act. Ths
to which wished to call attention was
4 declaration in these resolutions, that the
acould not submit to the law OF the Ian
when passed.
With respect to the opinion of the pee
pie Of my own State, | thank the Senate
tor being sentinel there; but | believe
know their opinions as well as he does.
believe the people Of the State of Michiga
, will sustain their representatives, whe
those representatives carry through grei
onsl,u,ional principle, which secures /

!, right oi seli-government.
Mr.. Smith replied, charging Mr.. Gas
!, with having changed his opinion on tn
Wilmot Proviso; at one time advocating i
, and at another opposing it. He denie
that there was any threat in the resolution
t that they would not consent TO the law
lie would not consentto il. majority
, Northern people were opposed TO it. b.
t that did not mean they would take arm
against the government. and involve III
r country in civil war. They will oppose
politically. They will oppose i. constil,
5 tionally. They will oppose it through III
efforts Of theil representatives in the tw
Ilcuses Of Congress. That was all ih'
? there was in the resolutions. There WI
nothing in them in the shape of threat,
p The resolutions were ordered 10 lie o
the table to be printed.
