The national sentiments. He vindicsted slave

that It was by the act Of kind Providence that
the African was brought to this country. If

that the Southern and Pacific States would de-

Mr.. Sickles, OF New York. said be would not
trespass on the time OF the House did he not
deem it an imperative duty to protest against
much which had been said on this floor in the
course Of discussion as to the sentiment Of the
North. The gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Hickman) had avowed that the irrepress-
ible conflict is not in the future but is fact and
is presented in this Hail. Mr.. 8. said the
Northern sentiment is otherwise. There beat
in the North millions ofhearts devoted not on
" to the Union bnt TO the Constitution on
which it rests, and they would never reinquish
their allegiance to it or he unmindful of the du
tv Of performing the obligations with which
that alleqiance is inseparahly connected, and
without which their love for the Constitution
ard the Union would he hypocrisy and delu,
sion. He said Mr. Hickman'S view of the
Northern sentiment is unFounded,
In the course Of his reply to Mr.. Hickman'S
charge that the South has violated covenants,
compacts and compromises, he referred TO the
history Of the adoption OF the Constitution and
kindred subjects TO show that there had been
no violation Of good faith by the South. lie
desired the antidote to 60 forth with the poi
son.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania could not
snstan himself in the first charge that The
clause in the Constitution was a concession TO
freedom on the part Of tho South when he (Mr
Sckles) had proven that the clause as original
" reported by eleven Of the States, was enlarg-
ed and sustained on motion OF gentleman from
the North. There was no instance where
Suu'hern Courts had faled to take cognzance
Of or punish those engaged in the slave trade
expeA tions. which were fitted nut with vessels
sometimes built expressly fer this purpose, and
the proceeds Of the traffic distrihuicd in the
North and East and in all probability at the
South The late District Attorney Of New
York, Mr.. McKeon, gave as his onrnion that
more expeditions were fitted ont and sustained
by Northern capital than from uny other part
Of the Union.
As to the charge that the South had broken
the Missouri Compromise, he argued that il
could not be called a Compromise 1t was an
experiment, and had ceased to have any vitali.
ty in the quarter where alone it could he sus
taincd. When the violent excited feeling pro.
duccd bv the repeal Of the Missouri restriction
shall have ceased, the North will as heretofore
regard the principle Of the Kansas Nebraska
Bill as congenial to their conviction, and on
which the hest hopes OF the patriot-rest. and as
entirely fair to all portions of the confederacv
He maintained that there had been no violation
Of the compromises Of 1850 and 1854. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania had aid that the
great question to be presented in the next
Pre- ,idental election was-shall slavery be nj
lowed to 90 into the Territories? The gentle
man had not shown anv reason or justification
for that issue in view Of such a contingency in
our affairs as existed two or three years ago
with reference to Kansas. We are 10 under.
stand that it is to be brought forward as an ab.
strart and not as an existing question; but the
Ncrth does not desire to enter the Presidential
election on any such question.
When the people at the North witness the
inevitable result Of the doctrine OF the irrepreS

find such are the consequences Of giving an as
tendency to sectional party, they will sweeI

drive away the enemy from their own doors.
He considered that we were in the preSen'
Of the most serious danger that ever menaced
the confederacy, and therefore as a faithful SEN
tinel, it was his duty to admonish. He believ
ed to the knowledge of the facts they would
give patriotic response. He alluded to the few
demonstrations made in New York to sympa.
thze with the doctrines professed and practc
ed by John Brown, and denied that the .relg

tenanced them He did not believe there were
any communities in the North which would
permit assemblaees within their borders with
the view to proclaim therpurposes to carry in

when it gave its decided vote to Jefferson fol

the conclusion of his remarks Mr.. SickleS was
applauded.
Mr.. Clark, Of n. Y, said he had reason t.
believe it would have been acceptable to judge
Douglas if the latter's friends, such as himsel
and Adrian. had gone into the Democratic eau
Gus. (Applause.) .. .......
Mr.. Adrian said II he had gone into the eau
Gus the result would have been the same. Al
his friend Clark knew that it would have beer
acceptable to MIR. Douglas if he and others hac
gone into caucus, why did not Mr.. Clark 60 intt

Mr.. Claik replied that at the proper time II
would give the reason, which would be accept

In conclusion Mr.. Adrian expressed the belle
that none OF his constituents approve OF Jobr
Browns conduct, and every northern man who
goes into the southern States TO interfere viii

they did Brown. (Applause,) But the peo
Pile OF the southern 5 ates must mind their bu
siness aud keep their hands off the rights and
institutions OF other States. AS to the Union
