iI,suehter.l Sir my honorable fieId from Connect
icut lMr. Gillette) has thought this was good
occasion TO invite us to consider the question OF
abolishipg Slavery in the District Of Columbia, ADD
has IN BY incurred some lie certainly sd
ewsnant in the latitude which the debate had already
assumed although the subject was not very german
to the question before us. have no hesita'ion to
disclose my fsnatcism In that direction. Five years
$50 proposed in the CONGRESS of the United States,
the emancipation Of all the slaves 10 the District OF
Columbia with the consent Of its citizens, TO be ex-
prefsed through the customary forms OF popular
election, and with full compensation, to be paid out
Of the public Treasury TO the individuals who should
suffer damage in their fortunes by so great an act OF
national humanity and justice ! am resdy to 60 with
my honorable friend that length now. i shall be
rady to go the came Length to morrow-next year

! and others here, Sir, are denounced as Abo-
litiopisp, in broader sense, and therefore as
traitors Ibave no hesitation in oohfessng the whole
truth on that point believe that do not know a
hunsn being who maintains or supposes that tue
Government Of the United States has lawful authority
or right to abolish Slavery 10 the States OF this Union
Certainly, in my own opinion, that Government has
no such power or right. But, Sir, am man none

pxeroise in a slaveboding State, very freely say
that, If l were a member Of such a community,
should recommend to, and urge upon, my fellow Cit.
the necessary reform could safely be ebtained-some
measure Of Emancipation, immediate or prospective
with compensation for damages through the action
of the State Legislature upon the scertsned consent
of the people add, further, to meet the require
nents Of tbose who suppose thata proposition Of grad
uA emancipation to the slaveholdng States is either
timely now, or soon will be go, that while retain q
place in the National Councils, any slave holding
State willing to adopt the humane policy which has
been already adopted by my own State and by other
States shall have my vote for any aid, either in
lands or money, from the Federal Government which
the condition Of the public Treasury and OF the Ma
tionsl domain will allow in furtherance of an object
In which not only the slave holding States are inter-
eeted but which concerns the whole Cnion and even
human Dature itself. Mr.. President, have made my
way at last through the intricate maxes OF this dis
cpssiop, to the actual question before the Senate.
