We do not want hereafter, either will

out them. any such meddlesome or vel
atious interference bv the executive pog
ers of the Government Therefore,
say, let us have some neutrality Law
that can be understood. If there la
been no apprehensioas in the North abor
the neutrality laws, if We had not expec
ted that whatever emigration We migh
have fitted out for Central Americ
would have been arrested within III
marine league of the harbor of Boston
why, we would have colonized Centra
America dozen years ago. and had
ready for admission into the Union be
fore this time. We want a modification
or an calculation of the neutrality laws
and trust that it will be the duty of tn
committee so to report.
The Northern States are. as the State
of Northern Europe were designated BY
Tacitus. offciad gentium, 1.-THE manu.ac
tory of nations" We can make on,

have colonized almost wholly the Terri
tory of Kansas. We have furnished
settlers to Minnesota and Nebraska, anc
the Lord knows where, and We have no,
exhausted one-half of our natural increase
We have received accessions to our
numbers in that time, from foreign coun-
tries Of more than one million souls, and
now we have no relief; we are worse Of
to day than we were when we began to
colonize Kansas. We must have an out
let somewhere for our surplus population.
Laughter.
Sir. l have a resolution in my pocket.
which l have been carrying about for
days, waiting patiently for en- opportuni-
ty TO present it in this House, iustructin :
the committee on Territories to report a
bill organizing and opening for settle
ment the Indian Territory. Mr.. Chair
man, came to this conclusion with re-
luctance, that we must have The Indian
Territory. But necessity knows no law.
We must go somewhere. Something
must be opened 10 the descendants of the
Pilgrims. Laughter Why. sir. just
look at it. We are cramped in between
the Atlantic ocean and the Rocky Noun
tainsl The bounding billows of the
western tile of our emigration are dash
ing fercely against the base of the
Rocky Mountains.
We come now TO the obstruction of
he great natura. barrier. Nothing is
more natural than that this tide should
low back Win ii flow over towards
Canada? Not at all. II has already
BEGUN 10 flow over the "Old Dominion, -
Laughter and into other states. Mis-
souri, is almost inundated with it. We
,annot check this tide of emigration.-i
Z GU might as well try 10 shut out By cur
aims the light of the aurora calls
10 such thing can be accomplished -
This progress must be onward. and we
nust have territory; and | think it mos,
pportune that the proposition seems to
e before the country to Americanize
'enlral America.
Now. sir said / was astonished that
enllemen who come from States bord-
ring upon the Gulf had advocated this
roject, and not the Representatives who
,me from Northern States Let us see
e reasons why the North should be

ave one hundred and twenty seven

1850. In the State Of Rhode Island ,
2 have one hundred and twelve 10 the ;
uare mile, b. the same census. In the I
ate of Connecticut we have seventy

ave sixty FIVE So you see, il was not

the Imagination. when | told you that
{ descendants of the Pilgrims were in !
tight place. Laughter.
But how is it with the States which v

:. They have, some Of them, eighty II

We one and the forty eight hth-hundredth o.

ing them altogether, we have Just &c

But it is not only for the purpose of OF

The interests of commerce, as well az
this great argument of necessity, are m
our side. Who has the trade beyond

We have trade with pa
