July %, 1850.
Mr.. President, the GREAT PRINCIPLE which |
pervadcs throughout this bill is the principle Of
NoN-INTERvENTIoN By CONGRESS Upon THE
SUBJECT OF THE INSTrrUTioN oFysLAyERY
1f July 80, 1850
Ihave risen to say few words only 'on a.
proposition before the Senate; and do think
that if my southern friends, and my northern
friends too, only listen, if am not entirely in
correct in the views propose to ospresent, they
will concur in the motion made by the Senator
from New Hampshire to strike out this clause.
The clause is an introduction imposed by Con-
gress upon the local legislature either to intro
duce or to exclude slavery. 7@
know that my northern friends who are
anxious to exclude this clause by the adoption
of this amendment, go upon higher principle
than mere interest. They go upon the very
say-for upon this subject | have conversed
with them freely--that they are aware Of the
advantage to their interests which might result
from the retention of the clause, but that it is
in contrayention of the principle for which they
have eontended or behalf OF southern interests,
and that is tie principle cf ron Intervention on the
subject of slavery. They will sacrifice their
interests for the preservation cfthe great prin-
cpe upon which they are wiling to stand with
| their southern friends--THE PR1NcIrLE OF NOM
INTERVENTION and which if the amendment
prevails is the principle tohtch psrvade the entire
bill, Running through it t1oms first to last .1.'E

Now, Mr.. President, stand here in my place
meaning to be unawod by any threats, whether
coming from individuals or from states.
should deplorc as much as any man living or
dead, that arms should be raised against the au-
thority Of the Union, either by individuals or
by States. But after all this has occurred, i
any one State or portion ofthe people Of any
State, choose to place themselves in military
array against the government Of the Union

l[Applause in the galleries. Immediately sup
pressed by the chair. anu for ascertaining
whether we have government or not--praeti-

which belong to government. Nor, sir, am
to be alarmed or dissuaded fromany such cours
by intimations Of the spilling Of blood. lfbloot

Upon the supposition, l maintain it will bc b.
9 fault of those who chose to raise the isTANDARl
OF DIsUNIoN, and endeavor to prostrate thi
Government; and sir, when that is done, SO lon
as it pleases God to give me q voice to expires
my sentiments, or an arm, weak and eneeble
as it may be by age, that voice and that arr
will be on the side ofmy country, for the sur

Nor am apprehensiyo Of this idea that bloc
is to be shed. From the bottom Of my heart
. hope it never will be shed. But if it is shed
; who will be chargeable with the effuson Of ht

have made, that single state---if there shall |
