Mr. Isnrk slalc. Of NiihnIAslppI.

The following is an extract from speech de-
livcrcd in the House OF Representatives, on the
23d January, 1860, by Hon. WIN. Barksdale,
Of Mississippi:
But We are menacinely told by the gentle
man from Pennsylvania (Mr. iIickman) and
others. that the South will not be permitted
to sccctlc How Go they propose to prevent
it? Sir, the army that invades tho South to
suhugatc her will never return; their bodies
will enrich Southern soil. When the compact
of the Union, the Constitution, has been vio-
lated, we claim the right Of peaceablc scccs.
sion; that was the doctrine Of Jefferson and
NIadison, and OF the Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions. The right 10 judge Of "infrac-
tion Of the Constitution, as well as the mode
and measures Of redress" has never been del
shield of the States against the iilegitimatc
cncroachnrnts Of Fedora! power. We plant
ourselves upon the right Of secession, and
there we intend Ia stand. Nor can our pur-
pose hc shaken b.. the insane threats Of the
.Abolitonsts upon this floor. We know what
oar rights are undcr the Constitution, and
We intend 10 defend them to the last eStreni-
itv Every pledge the South has made has
been relglon-Ir redeemed. There is no blot,
no blcuiisil, mpnn her bright cScntc:icon. And
We demand nothing TO which we are not cnti
tied. We claim that wc are co-eqnal partners
in tic ConGcderacy. We claim the right to carry
our property in the common Territories, and
| to have it protected while there by all the
departments Of the Federal Government
We ask that our fugitive slaves shall be re-
stored. and that this slavery agitation shall
cease forever.
| have never desired dissolution Of this
Union but should the Black Republican party
obtain the control of the Government | shall
be for disunion. Heretofore its burdens have
been chiefly borne by the South as the statiS-
ties which | now have before me will clearly
prove oct We have patriotically submitted to
it because Of or vcncration for the Union OF
our fathers. For the future, | would demand
that nil the compromises and guarantees OF the
Constitution shall be rigidly enforced, and |
would stake the Union upon the issue. And
even nthc even: Of its dissolution, | shall have
no fears for the South With a territory larger
than all of Europe; with our cotton now swell
ing up in value annually to more than two hum
drcl million dollars; with our rice and sugar
and tobacco; with people united in feeling,
in sentiment, and in interest, she has within
her own borders all the clements OF splendid
republic II. then, we arc to have no peace; II
these agcressions are still to be continued ; If
this sectional warfare is never to cease, the
South, with the strong arms and brave hearts
Of her gallant sons, will build up her own eter-
