Mr. BAYAkD (Dem., D,l saw nc reason for any

Mr. POLK Dem, MOI resumed his remarks lie

whatever Of the United States aud yet that State, an
der no pretext Of law, bad been iavaded by United
Sa,es irools from Iowa and Kansas. He then Pro
.eed argue that he President had no night 10 m
wade State, and no night TO give tie power 10 pro
clain martial law to mere captain Tie then referred
20 the of Captain Lyon, aud IN some detail TO TIE
ccrurences in the City of ST. LOus, which ne chaIac-
tell1ed illegal 9nd unconstitutional. lie also le'
fog Tho ot Con Il IIa
was willing to 90 auythiog 10 put stop TO this
holy wa; ne would 90 nothing 10 continue it.
Mr. WADE rep, ono moved TO refer the re5olu.
ton to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. POWELL Dem, ky.) proceeded to give the
reasons Why he could Tor the resolution, claim
ING that u President bound 70 obey the Cona--
ta,iou and ttas the Constitution gave no powerto
maize war on a sovereign State. The President had
no right to declare blOcsade against any of Tie
States, and be had right 20 suspend the writ oi
kdbeas c0ypgS. lie quoted from Marshal and Story TO
confirm his position, that the COns,ltutIOn gave the
President no power To suspend the writ Of ha6e0s
ms That power belonged lely TO Congress There
lore the President had violated tie Constitution which
be had sworn 10 defend. he never COnld and never
would approve of the violation OF the Constitution Of
tire county by sDy man, high or low. In these times
the Constitution nearly all that left In
Heaven name preserye that. He demanded TO know
whit tight the President bad to increase the army and
navy TIE plea of necessity had been the tyrant's
flea hut BE would demonstrate that the necessity did
DO, exist ia this If the Capitol were saved at
all il was By The volunteer fore, aud there was
pecesity tor increase Of the army. lie hOled be
should hear no more the Plea Of necessity, for it did
Dot exist. lie never would approve OF any act viola
ting tie Cons.ilatlOn.
Nr. WILLIAMSON Rep, %llh. asked The Senator
n he approved of the action OF the Government o.
Kentucky in refusing 70 send volunteers IN answer 70
she Pre-ident's proclamation.
Air. POWELL said that all the State Of Kentucky
svproved of IT, and he one Of its people. La
afler and better days Of the Republic such monstrouS
g.urpstins Of authority had been the cause Of i'm
peachment al the bar OF the Senate he referred 70
se remarks Of the Senator frem Oregon Baker, who
,rau ready 10 fight TO subjugation, and asked II
abe Senator from Oregon thought BIO could preteTye
ehe Union by reducing Sovereign States 70 provinces
hst would be the utter destruction OF the Unlon yet
sbe Senator from Oregon would reduce them 70 con-
ouered prOyiDces and TEND them Goyernofs from Mas
snehuseits end Illinois.
Mr. BAKER (Rep 0regon), e. id the Territorial
government WIS Republican form OF government.
But we are now ia a state Of war, and the Senate ia
keaIing hostile guns. There was no time 10 ininee
yordsor measures. He hoped those States would re-
tarn " allegiance ard send men as brave as bis disn.
guisbed friend from Tennessee Jobnson), bot he dd
eay II the States would not return and govern theu-
pelves, be would govern them rs territories, which
xoald be little better than 10 have them governed BY
themselves. tLaughter.l
Mr. POWELL. eoniia1ed. He said he did not be.
Eeve one section could conquer the other. lie would
ike 10 see the stop, aa1 sill The Senators fc both
sections eRdeavoring by amendments TO the Cousiu-
sion TO restore the Union. IL must be done by CON-
ypromise and conciliatiCn and not by force. lie re-
farred 10 the speech Of Senator Douglas last Winter In
fsyor of ooInTroaise and Cbafactef2iDg diam
fcq as exrTe sing his (POwels) sentiments. lie ap-
% aled 10 tire Senators 10 make every effort 10 make
sssaee by compromise. lie had hopee Of inducing
Ssnators to voe sgsinst the resolution but lie felt
