On motion of Mr.. Clay resolution was a.
dopted requiring the Secretary Of the Interior to
report at the next session the amount required
to paw the allowances provided by the House bill
for the settlement of the claims of the officers
ofthe Revolutionary army, aud the widows and
children of those who died lii the service.
Mr.. Houston said although he had taken very
little part in discussions which had been indulg-
led in the Senate recently, he hadnot been an in
iattentive or unconcerned listener; he had seen
ten years service in the Senate, and thirty years
ago was in the public councils of the country,
but during the whole time of his service he had
not seen a crisis Ike the present; portending
such evils to peace and even threatening the
perpctnity of this Republic. He wished itweTe
in his power to cast oil on the troubled waters
aud should be glad to see Senators cooperate
lin the different works than eXpatiatiDg iTTi-
liable feelings of the North, and producing more
and more alienation than now exists. II was
evident everybody saw the times were sadly out
of Joint and there must be some occasion for II,
there must be some latent disease that required
a remedy, and the first step to produce a better
state of things and give peace and tranquility to
the country would be to go back to first primer
ples aud seek the root Of the evil. In doing so
he deemed he had found the pandora box,
whence all difficulties originated, in the repeat
lof the Missouri Compromise. Before that fatal
lstep was taken NIL was quiet, tranquility and
harmony; but since, nil had been ulScOrd and
4 COntention, bioodShed and strife. This result
was predicted by him at that tiuc, ne made the
4 remark that the aged mig hit witness the COM
meRcemcnt of evil consequences flow from that
lrepeal, but the youngest child thea born wond
not live to behold their termination. He hoped
however, and believed they would terminate
without any fearful disaster to the Union, and
that the wisdom of the American people would
!deSire some remedy for these struggles which
had sprung from ambitious views of individuals
land that Providence which had guided this ma
Ition through perilsin days past, had yet rich
blessings in store 10 lavish upon US. Ii the
Missouri Compromise could DC repealed after
having been regarded as a sacred compact for
la third Of century, the organic act by which
1.-The territories Of Nebraska and Kansas were
IorganiAcd, was also repealable, aud consequent
lily all acts Of the territorial legislature which
had been made in pursuance OF that organic act
He presumed no one would deny that the Pe0-
pie Of Kansas did not Of their will enact
the laws now sail 10 exist there; it was done by
Iext-aneOUs influence; and these laws were con-
trary 10 the spirit OF the Constitution and ought
mot 10 remain Oh the statute book. He defined
Ibis political position and defended the American
iParty.
