Mr.. KEITr said !: / desire only to correct a
mistake of the member from Missouri, Mr.
OLIVER, and to answer an inquiry which he
has propounded When submitted nv views
to the committee few days ago on that portion
of the Presidents message which relates to
tonnage duties, had not read either the letter
or the speech of the distinguished senator from
Illinois, Judge DOUGLAS. Since then ! have
hastily read both; and now offer my tribute
to the large craftsmanship and patriotic saga.
city contained in both.
The member asks me if repudiate Mr..
Calhoun. Sir, this is strange question to ask
me now, while the State is still convulsiyely
sobbing over his grave. South Carolina, sir,
upheld, and with unfaltering devotion sustained,
Mr.. Calhoun while alive; and his death has
only sanctifed him in her affections We
bowed to his splendid intellect, and to his stain
less honor; and he richly deserved our homage
and support South Carolina paid to him, sir,
the tribute of confding but an intelligent and
discriminating constituency, not the tribute
which the mountebank extorts from the popu.
lace. Yes, sir, ours was the tribute of men.
Sir, South Carolina supported Mr.. Calhoun
with unfaltering consistency from his earliest
entrance into politics. Like some splendid
planet fashioned by the hand of Almighty God
and floating by natural law into its appro
pirate orbit, Mr.. Calhoun at early manhood
Aoated into his appointed sphere, consolidated
around the Constitution. Mr.. Calhoun was
the first, believe, sir, who announced and ad
vocated the doctrine of tonnage duties fol
works of internal improvement. We differed
from him, and it was almost the only difference
in his long life, in that portion of his report on
the Memphis resolutions in which he invoked
the aid of the federal government for improve
ments in the Mississippi valley. But, though
we differed from him in that, the State never
abated one jot or title of her love, reverence
and support of him., 1t was difference alike
honorable to the State and to Mr.. Calhoun
Sir, as England's queen said, when the loss O
Calais was reported to her: eff my heart could
be read, Calais would be seen written upon it.
So, too, South Carolina would say: IF my hear
could be laid bare, written highest and bright
est upon it would be seen the name of John c

made by me in answer to Mr.. Oliver, of Mis-
souri,, in correcting mistake made and an
swering question propounded by him, am
made to say "He Mr.. Calhoun was the first

The Chilian Mlnister.-Mr. Carvallo, envoy
extraordinary and minister penipotentiary Of the
republic of Chilli after residence at Washington
of eight years took leave of the President on his
return to Chill, on Friday last; and with his
family, sailed from Baltimore 10 Valparaiso in the
ship Susan L. Fitzgerald on the 22d instant.
The official intercourse of Mr.. Carvallo with
our government and his social intercourse with
our citizens, manifest his ripe Judgment good
heart, and good taste. He has left none but
friends, very many friends, and general regret at
the parting with so estimabe family; and all
cordially unite in good wishes to himself his amia-
BILE lady, and chdren--that their voyage may be
pleasant, and their whole career of life happy.
Mr.. Carvallo carries with him very marked
proof Of personal respect and confidence enter
tanned for him by the President and other high
functionaries Of our government, and has reason
to be proud Of the elevated and honorable posi-
ton in which he has placed the relations between
the two nations
The Chilian government, justly appreciating his
superior abilities, has conferred him the charge
Of her foreign rotations, for which his experience
at home and abroad peculiarly qualities him. In
her choice Of Mr.. Carvallo's successor near our
government, she will indeed be fortunate if she
shall find representative equally acceptable to
our people, and equally desirous and indefatgable
IN promoting her interest Union.

continued and to quiet the solicitude which
is manifested, | may as well state in gener-
al terms That have always had that feel
ing of deep repugnance to Slavery which so
generally pervadcs the North, regarding il
as utterly indelensible upon any principle OF
natural right, or moral iusticr land as a
blight and curse upon the prosperity Of any
people; and that have consequently look
ed upon the extension Of Slavery as a great
evil, to be opposed and resisted by ell Con-
sututional means. ] have never doubted
that Congress had the rghtful power to
limit its extension; and therefore, that the
9Th section of the Missoufi-compromis Act
of 1920 was valid and binding enactment
and that It was passed under circumstances
which deprived Congress Of the moral right
TO repeal IL though they retained the legal
power to do so.
In regard TO the Liquor Law, my opinion
is: That the prohibitory system should at
least have farther trial - of course do
not think it would be wise at present to sub
stitute different system; though alterations
might probably be made in some of the sub
ordinate provisions fthe existing law, which
would tend to render it less obnoxious to OBJ
lection without imparing its efficiency.
