slave: nobody will invite him to a social en- tcrtainment unless he owns negro and if he cannot get aewife unless he has negro, then sir, very likely he may make up his mind to own . negro. Laughter. But ,xtclf you that he will repent of it every day while he has him: There is no indncelnent for the Yankees to spread slavery into Central America, and there is no power to do it in any other part of the country. Therefore most fearlcssly io advo- tate the AmericaDizing of Central America We must have some outlet for our overw helnl- ing population. Necessity kuows no bounds and if VI cannot have Central America, we must have the Indian territory we must have something we are not exhausted in onr pow. CT of emigration; we are worse off than We we're before the opening O. Kansas Not one half Of our natural increase has been exhaust ed m coionizlig that territory. and furnishing people for Oregon and Washington. We might, as told you, make eight states year. if we only used our forces economically, by es- tabllshing, not for tlte present time only. but for all coming time, this system of organized emigration. Just as fast as this has become understood in the country-just as far as It IS known to the people--not a single man who has any sense will emigratc in any other way than by colonies Just lock at the difference between nen going in colony, and going alone. Suppose man goes to Central Amer ica, and settles there alone what is his infin- ence upon real estate by settling there alone There is no apprecable difference from what it was before {: but if he goes there with five hundred men from the city of Boston to estab- fish town, by that very act he has made him. self wealthy. I can point to numerous exam pIes of this kind. Hence this making mon- ey by organized emigration is not going to be speedily relinquished. Depend upon it that we llav only begun to use it, and that we have not used with the efficiency with which it will be nsed in year to come.
 Now, sir, for those reasons hope that the committee to which this que stion shall be refer red, will so eucidate the neutrality law that we shall not hereafter be subjected to thls Exccu- tive interference. And now il, accordance with the views have expressed, .new offer the fol- lowing amendment
 And also that said committee report. 50 far as they may be ablc the present social and political condition of the people of Nicaragua and whether they invite colonies from the United States to settle among them and also, whether the soil, climate and other natural advantages of that country are such as to encourage emigration thither from the northern states of this confederacy.
 Now, MT. Chairman, will state briefly, my reasous for submitting that amendment. The gentleman from Mississippi Mir. Quitman re- ferred to the social and political condition of the people of Central America, as proper ba- sis, thiHk he said for our action. For my self, am willing to take the geAtleman's word about the necessity of something being done to aid this people but in grave matters of legis- lation like this, the committee having the sdb- ject in charge, should first fully investigate in reference to the matters suggested by my amendment.
 do not intend any objectionable sectional ism by using the word northern that the com mittee should inquire whether the natural ad- vantage of the soil and climate of Centra! America were such as to invite emigration thither from the northern states. SO phras- ed the amendment because, as have shown, the northern states are the only ones which can furnish emigration that would be of any consequence to Central America. We would be glad to receive whatever help the states on the Gulf could give us, but. it is impossible for them to give much help in this work And be- cause the northern states have the power in this matter, and because the southern states have not the power, I have used the words that the committee should inquire specially whether the climate and the soil are such as to encourage emigration to Central America from the northern states If, however, there can lie no objection to it, will strike out the word northern" and leave the inquiry to be general
