xxxvI.A CoSankss-r1nsr SESSION.



liz THE SENATE, yesterday, Mr.. Hunter pro-
ceeded with his remarks upon Mr.. Douglass inter.
State protection resolution. He thought II was a
moderate estimate, founded upon statistics which
he adduced, that there were from three to four
| millions Of human beings in the northern States
who owe their living and subsistence to the COM
merce with the South and, but for that commerce,
would be compelled to emigfate. The manufac.
turing and navi eating interests have been raised
under the protect system; fishing vessels to this
day draw bounty from the Government In the
South, since the STAKEHOLDER owns both capital
and labor it is for his interest TO do Justice 10
both. The South being the minority power in
this Confederacy, and having great interest
which is constantly assailed, she necessarily stands
| as watch-tower Of thee Constitution. While other
interests have grown up under the fostering care
| OF the Government, the South has never asked a
dollar for that purpose, if we except a few sugar
planters. Mr.. H. discussed the institution of sla
| very. which he regarded as the normal condition
| of human society, and AS the keystone of the arch
| upon which rests the very fabric of our Govern.
ment and yet, strange to say, this institution has
been the object Of persis ent warfare for more than
| forty years. Ii commenced with the Missouri
restriction; then followed the abuse of the right
Of petition, by sending petitions to Congfe
and the institution detestable. This warfare has
been continued to this day, and for what object
They have no right to interfere with it in the
States where it exists; and yet unless they desire
agitation for the sake Of agitation. what other
possible end can they have in view,
Mr.. Green remarked that he understood that
some other Senators desired to speak on this cues
ton, and he, therefore, moved that the resolution
| lie on the table, to be called up again Whenever
the Senate should think proper.
The motion was agreed to- and the Senate ad
journed.
| HoUsE.-The House proceeded to vote the forty
third time for Speaker, with the following result:
