These are the only counties Ia which the Dem

The majority against the Lecompton constitu-

-
The Union, in reference to the debate in the
House on Thursday on the neutrality laws, in
which the authority of Daniel Webster was in
voked to prove that an American citizen may
lawfully emigrate to another country and take
his arms with him, proceeds to show that the
question which is presented in the Walker case
is the question of an illegal expedition set on
foot in the United States against "A friendly ma
ton, and not the question of the right'of a
peaceful citizen, or a company of citizens, to
emigrate to a new home in n foreign land. At
tentiOn is called by the Union to the Senatorial
record of May, 1850, where Mr.. Webster laid
down doctrines upon the neutrality laws which
not only sustain the views of the President, but
in which case is furnished where the atten-
ton of Congress had been directly called to the
subject, and where Congress had neglected to
interfere to prevent any future Interpretation
of the laws such as is now complained of in
Congress.
