though southern man, his sentiments Invested en-
tirey OF sectional bias He meets, and coniroveris with
and dignity, the several objections urged
against the Nebraska bill His remarks in reference to
the Compromise of $780, and the grounds which the
South accepted and acquiesced in it, particularly for
chile The whole speech abounds in elevated national
sentiments, and maniles,s devotion 10 the Union and
to the constitutional compromises of the constitution
which is well calculated to strengthen and perpetuae
the bonds of confedefscy. He points out, with dis
tnctness and uhfulness the objections OF the South
to the Compromise OF 1850. and, with equal cearness,
shows the consideration which those objections were
yielded. and the several received final set
tenent Of the slavery question He deals in no TRADE
of vuperalon against the North, whilst he refers. with
historical accuracy the evidences going 10 show that
the Missouri Compromise has not been universally
guessed in sacred compact by all parties at the
North We commend his speech TO the special aen
