--.srIr. SUMNER moved to refer the memorial
of Sanborn to the same committee.
Mr.. Mason moved that it be rejected
Mr.. SUMNER said he felt it to be his duty to
protest against such suggestion. 1t was re-
lated Of one Of the judges OF Hell that he
punished first and heard aterward The
Senator from Virginia had taken that as
precedent.
Mr.. MASON said the Senator had used Ian
guage in making opposition to a motion which
so lar as his intercourse with gentlemen, went,
lie had never heard used outside the Senate;
He could not take it as personally offensive.
The Senate was best judge Of what was due
its decorum.
Mr.. SUMNER said the senator from Virginia
in his selE-contdence had undertaken to lee
ture him on manners. In reply he would say
that when any outrage comes before the Sen
ate ne should speak of it as it deserved, and it
any precedent from bad place should apply,
he should not hesitate to use it.
Mr.. Mason briefly replied but his remarks
were inaudlOle Without disposing of the
matter the special order came up, being Mr..
Browns territorial resolutions.
Mr.. LATHAM argued at length to show that
theIe was no irrepressibIe conflict between la-
Dor and capital. There was no capital state
without its being labor state. lie depreca-
ted the means by which the republican party
rode into power, aud denied that the negro
had ever advanced in intelligence for centur-
les. The rrepresslble conflict was a northern
obstruction. California wanted no slave code.
She desired to maintain her vested rights to
have the constitution as 1t is California want
ed to be neither the ally Of northern or
southern con1cderacy. He believed that
II the Judiciary and executive tailed 10
afford ample protection to property in
the territories, it was the duty OF Congress to
afford such protection but he was utterly OPP
posed to anticipating such an event. He had
faith in the people, and if one section of the
Union desired redress he trusted that they
would md 1t IN the Constitution and Union.
All llau the right to take their property INTO
the territories which were purchased by the
common blood and treasure OF all lie agreed
with the speech Of Mr.. Douglas made Ill the
House IN lSf2 on reporting the bills tor the
admission OF FLORIDA and Iowa. lie wanted no
interpolation, no new interpretations, nor hair
splitting theories.
