SeHotc.--llr. Smith presented resolutions from
the Legislature Of Connecticut on the Nebraska
bill and the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise.
Ater protesting in strong terms against the repeal
OF the Missouri Compromise, rs n violation OF ma
tional faith they declare fixed purpose never to
consent to the legal actual admission of slavery
into territory from which it was excluded by the
act Of 1890, or Of the admission of slave holding
States from any portion Of that territory.
Mr.. Css9 remarked that he hoped these rcsolu-
tions whom put into plain English did not mean
another Hartford Convention.
Mr.. Smith replied to Mr. Cass in severe terms.
The Hon Senator may, If he pleascs, stgmatsc
the sentiments cor tanned in these resolutions as
the sentiments emnnnting from Hartford Conycn-
ton. They are the sentiments of the freemen of
Connecticut and believe they will turn out to be
the sentiments Of an overwhelming majority of the
people Of Michigan
MIR. Cass--I heard all this kind Of denunciation
forty years ago, and with rs much violence as can
be used here, and heard the Hartford Convention
defended as a rightru act. That to which wished
to call attention was q declarations that they would
not submit to the law Of the land when passed
With respect to the people of my own State
thank the Senator for being sentinel there, but
believe know their opinion as well as he docs.
believe the people of Michigan will state their
Representatives, when those Repre- entatyCs carry
through great constitutional principle which Sc
cures 10 American citizens wherever they are the
right Of sclcgo,cmment.
Mr.. Smith replied, charging Mr.. Cass with hav-
ing changed his opinion on the Wilmot Proviso, at
one time advocating it, and at another opposing it,
lie denied that hcrc was any threat in the rcsOlu-
tions, that they say they will not consent 20 the
law. He would not consent to it. A majority of
Northern people arc opposed to it, but that did not
mean they would take up arms against the Govern
mont, and involve the country in n civil war;
They will oppose it politically they will oppose it
their Representatives in the two houses of Con-
grcss That is all that there is in the resolutions
nothing in the shape of threats.
Tho resolutions were ordered to lie on the table
to he printed.
Mr.. Clayton offered resolution directing the
Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire into the
cxpcdicncy Of proyidingb by law for such restrictions
on the power of American consuls residing in the
Spanish West Indies to issue sea letters on the
transfer Of American vessels in those islands, as
will prevent the abuse of the American flag in pro.
tcclng persons engaged in the African slave trade.
