no West We are citizens OF one
common country. The North will
cling to the Union. She had never
broken her pIightcd faith, and he was
at loss to know what the phrase
the faith of the South means. The
South has broken faith with respect
to tariffs, by attempting to break
down the North after il had in
vested its capital in manufactures.
With reference to Mr.. Hammond and
the question, "What guarantee have
the South that the North will not
establish another National Bank p"
Mr. Hamlin asked what guarantee has
the North that the South will not sad
die them with a National Bank In,
deed he expected to sec the day when
the South would seek protection in a
tariff. He then combated at length
the modern doctrines of the South that
the general Government was founded
on the principle of slavery, which he
contended was an abandonment of the
principles of her fathers, preceding
the Missouri Compromise. Mr.. Ham
lin said that was the work of the
South. She was .iubilant over its sue
cess, the North generally acquiescing.
Who repealed it after reaping it's ben
Gifts? The South. This is fine in
stance of Southern faith. He then re-
viewed the bred Scott decision, say
ing in conclusion that the Judges who
| gave it to the world rank in infamy
on the pages of history with Jef1ries.
In reviewing the history of Texas, he
said she was admitted on the basis of
the Missouri Compromise, without
which she could not have been admit
ted The North was induced to vote
for it because she was told that north
of $500 in that territory she could
have three free states. The South OBJ
liberated that line in 1854. Was that
good faith? Analysing the present
character of the Democratic party, he
said it was in the leading strings of a
few prominent Southern men. South
Carolina rules it. Calhoun's resolu-
tons offered in the days of compro-
mise, then secuted from the Senate,
were now the governing principles in
Congress. Notification now reigns
supreme in that party. 1t has the
Senate, the House, the President and
the Supreme Court The Democracy
had even improved upon these princi-
pies, and were about to declare in
passing the Lecompton bill that
white men have no magistrates they
| were bound to respect. Mr.. Hamlin
controvertcd Mr. Hammond's assertion
that there were more poor people in
the North than in the South, contend
ing that i'll the latter, Notwithstanding
a large number of its paupers were
thrown upon the North, the poor
portion still predominates. In sup
port of this position he quoted from
Southern writers, including Mr.. Ham
mond himself. He next passed to the
consideration of. Mr.. Hammond's as
sertion that the white laborcrs of the
North were slaves. He said that the
Senator entirely Inexperienced the
character Of Northern laborers. He
(1Iamlin) was laboring man. He
was educated in printing Office, and
he now toiled in his fields, earning by
the sweat of his brow the food he eat.
Another Senator, and his friend, was
laborer. They are representatives
of the North.
The Select Committee of the House
may agree informally among them
selves to submit their report for the
purpose of being printed, and then
may fix a future day for their consider
alton. There will be three reports
one by Mr. Stephens on behalf of the
majority, one by Mr.. Morrill, on behalf
of the Republican members, and
third by Mcssrs. Harris and Adrian
for themselves. The last will be ac-
companied by complete record of the
proceedings, in order to show how
every object of the investigation was
strangled by party vote.
Mr.. Kcitt said that general dec
laration in the bill of rights is like
preamble, and is restricted by the
bill itself. AS to the admission of
Kansas into the Union, if the Republi-
cans tell the South that no slave
States shall hereafter be admitted
they will shake every pillar of the po-
litical Union. Should this policy be
carried into effect, no federal tax
gatherer would ever again tread the
soil of the South. When the work of
incendiary propagandism and revul-
ton begins this Union will end-it
NAV be in blood (Shockinp y
