Senator Toucey, having been absent when Mr.. Smith
presented the resolutions Of Connecticut the day
referred to the matter as follows.
''With the of the Senate desire say word
-
yesterday The resolutions of the legislature of Con-
neccut which discussed yesterday presented
sorry say, in my absence. observe by the report
of the debate which sprung the OCCASION that my col
league fell into he naturally would in speaking
of the democratic sentiment the Legislature of the State
Connecticut he is not particularly intimate with that por
ton of his constituents. He is mistaken supposing that
resolutions received the support of the democratic
bers of the legislature Not onefourth of the democratic
Of both branches voted for them and Of those who
actually voted than two-thrds voted against them
No wing voted against them.
al am very happy sir to make explanation because
well acquainted with that portion Of the people Of
State who represented by the members
They firm friends of the Union and of the constitution and
the sentiments which be found embraced these
buttons cannot in my view, receive their support think
that they win and at all times renuousy oppose them
epresent the foregoing proceedings for the purpose
bringing prominently before readers the spirit which
actuates the coalition between wings and abotonists,
States This is the first step the scheme which seeks
divide the country a geographical line, and array
the North against the South II is surprising SO
faithful sentinel General Cass should raise his warning
voice. when the threat contained in the Connecticut rcou
tons brought to his mind forcbly the kindred move
ment which took place in the State during the
of 1872 Those wings the South and
the North who have thus far associated in the opposition
the Nebraska bill will learn from such proceedings the
ultimate issue to which they have been giving aid and
countenance Success to the contemplated scheme of
king strictly sectional issue be the necessary pre-
cursor of dissolution ofhe Union This confederacy cannot
endure when the leaders Of this reasonable coalition
coed in overwhelming the gallant band of northern demo-
Gratis whose brave devotion to the Union the
hopes of the country sublimer exhibition of patriotism
nowhere found in history than that presented by the
present position Of the faithful democracy of the North
Whilst assaied with all the magnity and fury Of fnat
cism combined with INSCRIPTIONS political ambition and
threatened with prosaton by the unholy coalition they
stand mmovably upon the solid basis OF national prnci
pies and defy the rage and assaults Of the enemies
the Union. Such patriots and win be sustained
the friends OF the Union everywhere viii rally their
support
n has been matter Of surprise and regret that any po
ton democratic friends should have failed 10 see the
real object which sought to be accomplished by the
leading abolitonists and abotonzed wings In their OPP
position the Nebraska bill II fear that slavery
would 60 into Nebraska it any sincere regard
the Missouri Compromised the real object defeat the
BILL that the question might be kept open the basis Of
sectional organization that should break up the old par
ties and either place the power Of the in the
hands Of such leaders Seward and Sumner force
dissolution Of the Union As long the question could
be kept open they had hopes Of sectonaizng the whole
North but they found that whenever tho bill should pass
the aspect Of the question would be materially changed
They knew that they could seek perfect their sectional
organization upon the proposition to repeal the law but
they knew too that this proposition would be wholly diff
ferent from that presented whilst the bin was pending
Thousands might be opposed TO the passage OF the bill who
would acquesce whenever Il should become law and re-
fuse make its repeal question for sectional agitation
They had fresh in their ccoccons the fact that very many
Of those who opposed the compromise $50 stood
zeaousy upon the ground Of acquescenc and united with
corgns friends Of the measuresn resisting attempts to
disturb them Such win now be the of all truly patr-
otto and national opposed the Nebraska bin II was
their object make that bill preteSt for break
ing up the old party lines and araying section Of the
Union against the other. Now that the win OF the MAORI
