ed mariner clings to tho plank to save
himsolG What grievance operates on
south Cardinal ts IL because she wants
10 take slaves into the Territoriesl Both
her Senators last session said no need Of
Il now.
Mr.. Davis said they would vote 70 pro-
tect now, and that they voted for the ro-
solution to protect
Mr.. johnson asked II they voted opro-
toct now.
Mr.. Davis aaid II tho Senator intended
playing on the word nor. ho supposed
they Intended to nail miscreants who
voted protection when unnecessary and
shrink from Il when necessary.
Mr.. Wigfal said he corrected the
statement the other day.
Mr. Johnson said Il was corrected
wrong then.
Mr.. Wiqfall said IL the Senator chose
TO porvcrt fucts he couldn't help il.
Mr Johnson objected 10 further inter-
ruptions IL Il reason for disunion be-
cnusa our man was not elected " nreck-
enrifg was elected nobody wanted -
break up the Union, but Lincoln is elect
VI, aud now they say they will break the
the Union. He said no. What is there
70 feori Lincoln was minority Prcsi-
dent Let South Carolina send her Sem
stor back md Lincoln cannot cvon make
a cabinet without the consent of the Sem
ate. Was he such coward as 10 retreat
whom il uas evident they had the powerl
Was he 20 be 70 cowardly as to desert
the noble band at tho North who had
stood by the South on principle, yet for
a temporary defeat turn their backs on
them aud leave them TO their fate. No
thing was necessary but to stand to their
posts like men. In four years time Linz
coin and his party will both 60 out of
power. What reason is there then for
deserving the Government
IIc believed that they could obtain all
needed guarantees, and cntrouted all pa
triots to come forward in a spirit Of bro
thcrly love, and stand around the altar Of
their common country, lay the Constitu-
tlun upon II and swear the Constitution
shall be maintained, and the Union pre-.
served, though better perhaps preserve
the Union 60 keep IN, North TO quarrel
with, rather than to quarrel among them
selves llo referred to a remark Of Mr..
King relative TO Gen. Houston, and
showing want II harmony, he appealed
to tho South TO pause and consider before
rOshly going too far, he appealed to the
North to come forward with Cancellation
and Concession.
This Congress has power to-day TO ar
rest secession aud save the Union, will
you do that, or desert sinking shipl For
one would stand UP supporting the edi-
fee Us long as human effort lasts.
He closed with a strong appeal 10
stand by the Constitution.
Mr.. Pugh gained the floor and yielded
10 Mr.. Lane.
Mr.. Lane said thero was one thing the
old Democracy would not do. They
would not march under the bloody ban
ner Of the Senator from Tennessee, 10
trnmplc South Carolina under foot, but
thoy would find them ready to meet him
there and repel his bloody band, and say
they should not subjugate a gallant State
struggling for rights denied il in the
Union. (Appluuse in the gallcfies.) Mr..
Lincoln was simply elected In couse-
quencc Of his hate to tho South. Is Il
surprising that South Carolina resistsl
lie served notice on the North that il
could not carry uRited North to invade
gallant State fighting for its rights.
He knew something Of Northern poo
pie. lie knew that they would not
march with the Senator In his bloody
march. He claimed that Washington
was a scceder when he went to Philadol-
phia and LEFT the Conlederacy. He said
the whisky insurreoti6n was not to bo
compared with the action of sovereign
State Ho never would draw his sword
TO coerce States that contemplate action.
Read Mr.. Liucoln's speeches They
show hatred of slavery aud the South.
Who ia manhNrdy enough to undertake
to collect revenue Of South Carolina
whom out Of the Union. Such man is
the worst mailman in the world and would
drench the country in blood. He would
say 20 such coward, Sir, you meet your
humble servant and walk over his body,
l(AppRuse and cries of good, good, from
the galleries.) He argued that tho doc
trine Of the equality Of the States must
7 prevail or dissolution was certain. The
party nj the North had inflicted ruin and
distress ON the country and when starv-
! ing thousands marched the streets North
they were responsible. lIe loved tho
country and would lay his life down If II
would avert tho trouble. Executive
session. Adiournd.
