those Northern sectional views, he believed the
Southern and Pacific States would deliberately
take counsel together to provide remedy.
Mr.. hilgore asked him whether he was not
in favor of the majority ruling, and inquired
whether, if Mr.. Seward should be elected the
candidate of the Democrats would consider
that sufficient cause for dissolution of the
| Union?
Mr.. Stewart replied, that whenever the Re-
publican candidate would submit to be cate.
chised, that question would be answered on the
other side.
| Mr. Kilgore said, he has answered.
| Mr.. Steward that he was not Mr..
Bocock's organ, and therefore he could not say
| what he would do.
/ MIR. kilgore said, if Mr.. Bocock answered the
following questions to his satisfaction he might
| vote for him, namely: Are you in favor of re-
| opening the African slave trade? Are Won in
favor of Congressional protection of slave prop
erty in the Territories? Are you in favor of
popular sovereignty in the Territories, and its
right to admit or exclude Slavery therefrom l.?
Mr.. KIgore said he was ready to answer these
questions for his candidate.
Mr.. Stewart replied, that the Democrats were
acting on broad national grounds

was read, and in which he was spoken of as

| ton of Mr.. Forney as Clerk of the House, and
Mr.. Sherman as Speaker. In reviewing the
| article, he said its statements were evidently
published by authority, and he proceeded to
make some very severe illusions to the course
of President Buchanan, emphatically and in
dignantly denying that he had entered into
such a combination as alleged, and indicated
| himself from the charge that he had been false
to his pledges. He stood by the doctrine of
non.intervention, and for that reason objected
to the resolution Of Mr.. Clarke of Missouri
which reopened the Slavery agitation before
the organization of the House and an excited
country throughout its length and breadth.
MIR. NOEL said there were men here who are
resolved on the final abolition of Slavery, and
proceeded to discuss the relative powers of the
General and State Governments.
Mr. Hickman, abiding to the charge in the
Constitution, said that if it was made by the
President, the latter knew it to be false; if
made by any other person, he did not know it
to be true, for the reason that he Mr. HEX
man occupied the position he did, because he
could not be purchased. He said that when
in this Hall he preferred to investigate the
charge of fraud and violence in Kansas, he
was charged with treason, not, however, be-
cause he had failed to be Democrat. He re-
turned home with the brand of treason those
men had placed on his forehead, but President
Buchanan endorsed his Democracy in the face
of this protest against him, and insisted on his
nomination, as he Mr.. Buchanan believed it
would be valuable to his canvass. 1t could be
proven by thousand witnesses, that during
this summer, this man, who now fills the Elk.

where, that if successful in his election, he
would see that Kansas should come in free

Mr.. II. then proceeded to discuss the Slavery
question, and avowed the strongest sympathy
