WASHINGTON, Dec 80, Mn the House,
Mr. Perry, of Name, offered a resolution
that from and after to-day, until the organ
ization of the House bv the election Of 4
Speaker, no member shall speak more than
20 minutes, nor more than once on any
question before the House until every mem
Der who desires to speak shall be heard
And all motions to lay on the table shall
/ be decided without debate.
Objections were made tos the resolution.
/ Boyce, of South Carolina, said the South
/ feels that on this slavery question hangs
their very being. Because you cannot
I overthrow the system on which their civili-
1 cation and social fabric rests, without war
/ of races with the South therefore it is a
/ question OF life and death. The arch fiend
! could not have found device more effectual
I than a sectional party to convulsc the great
/ Republic.
! Mr. Boyce continued in II similar strain
/ at some length.-ED.
/ Stanton, in reply to Boyce, said rs he
I understood the position Of the Republican
party on the fugitive slave law, there Were
I differences among them rs to " bat a fugi
/ tive slave law shoull be, and whether the
/ provisions Of The Constitution makes it OBJ
/ ligatory in a State to provide a remedy, or
D
/ Congress For himself if IT were an origi-
| nal question, he should hold that the power
was vested in the State bnt as it is, he held
/ to tine cotcmporlue0us construction OF the
/ Constitution, which nsui been acted ON 10y
all departments OF the government, and
| which ought 10 he recognized and SO con-
cedcd to hc the constitutional power of Con
grcss to pass q fugitive slave law. SO far rs
the law of 1850 was concerned, he did not
believe If was constitutional III its details
to the mode providing for making proofs
He wanted law which would be available
but not to encourage Kidnapping under
color Of law, and the capture Of persons not
slaves
The judicial power Of the United States
is vested by the Constitution in Judges APP
pointed by the President and confirmed by
the Senate; and he held further where the
fugitive slave law authorizes Commission
er appointed by n Judge ant not by the
President confirmed by the Senate, to sit
in Judgment whether The prisoner IS a fu-
gitivc or not, it is not vestiug constitutional
power where the Constitution does not au-
thorze 1t. He held the law 10 be uuconsti-
tutional in that il deprives the party of the
right Of hohcae corpus to test the question
rs 70 the process under which the fugitive
is claimed, and whether it is cOnfUrDIabie TO
law, and whether or no, there is not p pre-
text to put into slavery a free man. He
knew in poiutof fact that the law is grossly
abused in the free States. lie knew that
men were constantly kidnapped under color
of its provisions. He knew person in
Ohio who had received letter asking him
to give descriptions of free negroes; the
writer saying he would find master for
them. Hence difficulties arise.
Mr. Cox, in the course OF his remarks re-
fcrring to Mr.. Stanton, said that be was not
the exponent of the dominant section. He
was n Wing slightly Vanished over with
Bcpubiclnigm. The Republican party is
all scctonaIisn when you go to Ohio, bat
here it attempts to make the country believe
it was national, to give it the odOr of ma
tionality.
Stanton claimed to understand rs well
what the Republican party is rs his col
league. fIe was member Of that party IN
good standing. His colleague mistook
when he said the Republican party of Ohio
is sectional. The Republicans Of Ohio 20
for the Constitution as it was framed and
construed for sixty years after it was form
ed, and will make their platforRa and for its
support quote the opinions Of the fathers Of
the Republic.
Mr. Killingcr of Pa, said he heard Gepub-
licans define their position, which he, rs one
of the Peoples Representatives, did not at
all times endorse He thought it time to
say that he and those elected with him on
that ticket came from Pennsylvania on an
issue entirely distinct from disturbance of
/ law. twenty-five out OF twenty-five mem
bers from Pennsylvania, owe their seat prin-
cipally to their desire to protect American
industry, rs well as resistance to further
/ slavery extension. Let gentlemen follow
Ia
4 give us specific instead of ad uaiorea duties.
/ They need not fear that Opposition mem
/ bers in this Congress would dstrust the
/ compromises of the Constitution, or tie laws
/ rs they stand ON the statute book. No party
/ could carry Pennsylvania without rccOgni-
zing the Protection Principles The Ma
| tional Republican Committee has ignored
| it, and unless they nominated men whose
/ lives had been devoted TO the principle, they
would fail lie spoke for the laboriug and
mining interest Of his State. The gentle
man from South Carolina could have peace,
/ il lac would extend the olive branch, and
/ give us specific duties on coal aud irou.-
I I Laughter.
M,CIcrn.ud stated chat the position OF
the Republican party in Illinois did not
agree with that stated by Stanton.
Florence replied to k!!HnQer, telling him
he had better part company with the Re
! publicans. In the Convention mt Chicago,
nothing was said about the Tariff. lie ask
Ell if he did not know that the New York
Eotniag Post, an organ of the Republican
organization, had SAID that il they put
tariff into their platform, it would be blown
to the winds of heaven. lie had better fee
from the wrath to come.
KiIlingcr said the New York Egeniqg
Post IS not an organ in Pennsylvania. We
/ rcpudiatc it, and spit upon its doctrine. 80
/ Unless the Republican Convention al Chica-
30 shall recognize the principle of protcc-
ton to Amcaican industry in their platform,
or place on their platform a man who is
living illustration Of thatpriuc;plc satisfacto-
~ TO Pennsylvania, he will not get the cleo
| toral vote of that State.
\ colloquy ensued on the subject of the
Tariff Bill of 1887, and the action Of the
Republicans and Democrats therein, in
which Campbell, Montgomery, kiIIinger,
