code.
Mr. MORRIS Dem, Ill., said he was not.
Mr.. MoRAE said, Why did not YOU ask the question
CT Mr.. Gimerl
Mr. CARTER replied. He had, at former stage of
the proceedings given all the Southern Opposition an

Mr.. BURNETT claimed that Mr.. Carter had yielded
the floor to Mr.. McRae.
Mr.. CARTER earnestly denied this, amid peals Of
laughter and much confusion.
Mr.. MoRAE repeated why did you not put the

Mr. McRAE-You have voted for Mr.. Gilmer,

Mr.. BURNETT wanted Mr.. Carter to finish his
speech OF 7leld the floor Altogether. He understood
that Mr. Rust was entitled to it.
The CLERK said Mr. Garter had right to yield it

ten to prShibit OF establish Slavery. He claims that
when avery is establ she'd aud the Territory shall

choose 20 adopt.
Mr.. McRAE, before answering that question, wished
to know whether the Republicans believed In the right
Of property in black by white man.
Mr. CARTER had distinctly stated that he belonged

form of Government, and the spirit by which 1t was

Mr.. CARTER called attention to the intention of
the Government and said, while State had the right
to establish Slavery if it choose, it could not extend
Slavery one inch beyond its line.

Mr. cox lad. Dem, Ohio said he wished for himself
TO express the views Of the Democracy OF Ohio which
