ingenuity of bitter partisan hatred could suggest
as had been the case with Mr.. D., he could not be
expected to cringe to his traducers and adopt their
measures. The thing was impossible for any man
with the spirit of dog to do.
The question then being put, the resolutions were
then ordered to be reported favoraby to the House,
after which the Committee of the Whole dis
solved and the House resumed its session-Mr. Kill
bourn, Speaker, in the chair.
Mr.. DENNIS, of Somerset, then offered as a subst-
tute for the resolutions of Mr.. Freaner the follow
ing:
Resolved, by the General assembly, That Mary
lands Senators, William Pinckney and Edward
Lloyd, and her representatives in the National Con-
gress, at the session of 1920 did not misrepresent
the wishes OF her people, in voting for the Act
known as the Missouri Compromise.
That Maryland's Senators, James Alfred Pearce
and Thomas &. Pratt, and her representatives in
the National Congress, at its session of lS49, did
not msrepresent the wishes of her people in voting
for the measures known as the Compromise of
1850.
That the Democratic Nominating Convention
which assembled at Baltimore in 1852, announced
principle in accordance with the wishes of large
majority of the voters of Maryland and of the
Union, when it declared in the most explicit terms
that the Democratic party deprecated and would
oppose any further agitation Of the slavery ques-
ton, in Congress or out of Congress; and that the
voters of Maryland trusted that pledge would be
kept in good faith, when they voted in November,
1852, by majority of nearly 5000, in favor of the
pIlHclpleS SET lOfIH ana tue candidates nominated
by said Democratic National Convention.
That when the Democratic Congress in the year
1853 repealed the measure known as the Missouri
Compromise, and President Pierce approved said
repeal, said Congress and President voluntarily
did what greatly tended to revive the agitation of
the slavery question in Congress and out of Con-
gress, and such repeal was violation both of the
letter and spirit of the pledges given to the
try by the Democratic Nominating Convention
in 1852
That the repeal of the Missouri Compromise has
resulted in substantial good either to the South
or North; but, on the contrary, the revival of the
slavery agitation, thereby prevented, has been
serious evil to every section by engendering bitter
sectional feelings both North and South, by weak
enng the bonds of national union, and in the iudg-
ment OF many, endangering even the very existence
of the Union.
That those public men of any section or party ,who
lor mere partisan purposes, willing to violate
solemn pledges made to those who elected them by
to agitate the slavery question in Con
gress, and thereby excite animosity between the
people OF the various sections of the Union, and
weaken the bonds of that Union, are enemies to the
true interests of the American Republic, and not
deserving of the confidence support of any por-
ton of the American people.
MIR. KRAFT, of Baltimore city, previous to putting
the substitute and the original resolutions offered
by Mr.. Freaner, asked permission of the House to
allow his colleagues from Baltimore to record their
votes on Monday They had been called away to
Baltimore, and would like to cast their votes on
the subject.
The SPEAKER thought it necessary for the
gentlemen, before absenting themselves, to ask
Tor themselves what they wished. He, however,
thought the House would not object-and out of
courtesy would accord the request. Several voices
cried Out-Oh, yes, there will be no difficulty as to
that" &c.

substitute it was rejected by vote of AZ nays to
