Mr.. CoRwIN expressing willingness to yield

MIR. HICKMAN and others on the Republican
side objected.
Mr.. CORwiN resumed, reviewing the history
of the Ohio Democracy in 164S, who, in reso-
buttons, declared that they looked on the insti-
tuition of slavery as unfavorable to the full de-
velopment otfree institutions, and entertaining
these sentiments, said they would be derelict to
duty ifthey did notprevent an increase OF, and
eradicate it. The democracy of Ohio hold
these doctrines, going further than the wings.
But in that year the democratic party were
carried captive to Babylon. Zachary Taylor
was elected President. The democrats hung
their harps on the willows, and mourned for
the strains OF the daughters of their people.
While up to 1858 they maintained that slavery
might be restricted, the democracy suddenly
wake up and say slavery is very good, and
will develop the resources of the country. He
re erred to these things to show democratic in
consistences. The question to slavery
must be tried hereafter. After the House is
organized, if this shall ever take place, if
southern gentlemen announce, as they have
done, that this Union shall be dissolved it the
people of the north elect a President Of their
choice, we shall then see where the treason
