No court in a foreign country nao F'5at
to condemn an American vessel Tor iaiiIns
10 carry lights. In the absence OF an a
mericaA law requiring such q practice, tue
act OF France was an attack upon oer soFe-
reigniv, and an infringement Of the law OF

S34o, 900 to pay the deficiency in the print
ing bill OF Ihe sniGty-third and thirty-toursh
Congress, aud then took up Inc Consular and
Diplomatic appropriation bill.
Mr.. Bocock replied to Mr.. Wilson, con-
tending that the legitimate construction OF
the kansas-Nebraska act did not encourage
territorial sovereignty, and that the Lscomp-
ton constitution was the work of the people
of Kansas.
Mr.. Davis criticized the Presidents special

~stitu,ion as the creature OF fraud and the ie-
climate fruit of slavery. Adjourned.
WASHINGTON, MlFch 9.-Houss-Ehe
House resumed Consideration Of the Quit
man volunteer biil.
Mr.. Faulkner was opposed to sending vol
unteers to Utah. He believed If placed at
the disposal OF the Executive he would not
fad occszion 20 USE them, and thought that
:he proposition OF empioytnentoi volanteegs
was dictated BY outside pressure rather Than
from cuuviciions eff sound military policy.
Mr. Faulkner c%on;ended that the employ

the PASSIONS OF the country, and setting the
precedent of carrying death and desolstion
to our own citizens; prolific OF must disas-
troOs iutnre consequences.
+ The war ia Utnl was a war against the
people On account OF their ~reiigiun. Who
ever engaged in such Il w1r, whether voiua-
teer or regular, would be guilty OF murder.
the Exerttive hrs plainly said that he
don't want volunteers.
Pending ;ar qies7i,,n, the House went in
IL G3.nait;re vsa li,e Diplomatic AppfoPri-
alton bill.
Mr.. klett, liz discussing the Constitutions
power 10 aduss new States, defined his views
OF p%oliucai government. Contrary to the
view OF SUING .! his friends, he believed that
the people u! K fusas Cannot change the
Constitution prior 10 1854.
MIR. Cien1ens va asked how Mr.. Keitt
reconciied tina, declaration with the express
sion OF another part Of the L:eompton Con-
s!iiution, that tlic paup!e have a righ; to al
ter that Instrument.
AIR. Keiu replied that a general declara-
ton in u bill OF rights is like a preamble. AMI
is restricted by the body Of the bill Itself
AS to the admission of Kansas, if the Re-
pobiicans tell the South that no slave State
shalt hereafter be admitted into the Union,
they viii shake every pillar of the political
UnIcu. Should this policy be carried into
effect, no federal tax -galherer would ever a.
gain tread the South. When the work OF
intendiaIism and revolntion begins, this Un-
ion will end, may be in blood. = IN
+ Mr.. English (ind.l alluded to the assaults
upon the Northern Democrats who voted for
the Kansas Nbraska bill. They risk every
thing, white the South risk nothing.
While the friends of the L,compton Com
s,itution spholi one doctrine, he (Engiish)
was for carrying out what ne believed cor
rect principles. If stricken Gown for that,
he should sustain his sclt-re<pect, aud have
the high authority of the President for failing
for his defense. His political record was
not tainted by free soilism like Van Buren's
or Dix, who are now foremost in advocacy
| of the L~ecompton Constitution. If all rea-
sonable compromises are voted down, he
should vote against the admissions of Kansas
under that Constitution.
Mr. Phillips (Ps.) proceeded to show that
the admission OF Kansas under the L4conp.
Ton Constitution is regular, according to the
| - !: H. - - r. n
ident.
He also commended that it recognised the
right of the people to change it whenever
they chose. Those who denied that fall in
to error.
Adjourned.
SEsATE.-Mr. Mason moved for a further
consideration of the bill for the relief oil
Com. Jones.
His motion prevailed and the bill was pas
sed.
The Kansas bill was then taken up
Mr.. Hamlin. Of (hle.,) said that no sub
iect of equalimpertance had been under con-
sideration since he had occupied a seat in
the Senate. He regretted that it had been
made a party question, because there was no
despolism on earth like a party despotisin.-
He had felt it, but he thanked God tina. he
was a freeman now. On ali the records OF
time, but one act of similar turpitude has eV-
err been attempted. He had no eulogy to
bestow upon. the Union. 1t needs nome
lis euiogy was written in the past. He then
replied TO the of Dir. Hammond,
arranging his remarks under three distinct
heads.
First, the faith oe>the South and the man.
ner in which she had kept it.
Second, the capacity of the South for a
separate and distinc: government.
Third, the character of the faboring mas.
ses OF the Norths
He said that in speaking tothese points he
shout be compelled to use the term South,
which has been put into his mouth by the
Senator from South Carolina, but in his hear
he knew no South, no North. no East, nc
West. We are citizens of one common
country. The North mean to etick to the
Union. They don't mean to GO out of il
and neither shall the South be allowed te
charge that the North had ever broken i'll
pliahted faith. He was at loss to know
what the faith ofthe South meant.
That section had broken its Legislative faith
with respect TO the tariff by attempting Il
breuk down the North after it had invested
its capital in manufactures.
With reference to Mr.. Hammond's cues
tion-"Whst guarantee hrs the South shat
the North will Mt eat-h:izh another national
bank ?"-Mr. Hamlin replied by asking an.
other question-'W3at gu1rantec has the
North That the Snut', will MT saddle then
with q national bank !" Indeed. he expect
ed to see the day when the South woult
seek protection in a tariff.
He then combatted at length the Madison
doctrines promulgated BY the South. that the
