DEPENDENCE OF all control Of StoV.Fhne. wiener
that Independence was be maintained not, he in-
turo only could decide. Bat II toward tbe maiDien
apce of their position public olB,on IN the seeedng
States should sustain the action Of those WHO nad TAKEN
the lead in this matter, az 70 chow tost nothing ou'
war of subjuQslion and conquest could bring them
hack he, for 0ne rather than resort 10 sneh means,
was discosed to recognize that independence Gnes
from Democratic eide, That's night" good. Ia
that state Of things, II the remaining seven save
holding States should continue NJ The Union they
were entitled to additional guarantee Aoae' .,
Good from the right of the Char lhsfe are
now seven slaveholding States, and Dineteen tree
States In ten years more, for all practical purposes,
Delaware would be Free State. That wOnia leave
twenty-three Free States, and only Elk siavehoiqlng
Suites. In few years MORE they wonlo nave o,ner
Free States organized out Of the Territories and thus,
in short time, they would have the required number
three-fourhs Of the Satesto enable them to change
the Constitution, and to confer upon the teic! Gov
eminent and upon Congress inc roTer 10 interfere
with Slavery. Now, he hoped thar that was power
which would never be vested IL Congress NO matter
If there should he but one Slave State, slavery was
matter Of domestic concern only, and Congress
should never take jurisdiction OF 1t. III tney were
citizens Of slayeholding States they would De
the frat 10 resist the interference Of the General Gov
sgpl.5ht because they, too, would zee that IT was
1subIect which Congress could nc. understand and
ought to have control over and that IL meter
which should be entirely left TO the States Themselves
He hoped, therefore, IL the intention OF the oIse
10 afford to the Slave States which still lefl to
the Union that constitutional protection which the al
tered circumstances OF the country demaled and that
they would sec how incumbent IL upon them 10
submit the question to the people, 10 say the
least Of IT, that they might il they deemed fit recog
uze end adopt IT, Ii will no. do Tor them to say that
the Constitution which their fathers made was sucent
for the country in the present altered circuns ances
and condition OF public 2faiTs. AT the organization
of the Government there but Free State.
and all the rest were slavehoding States and then
everybody Anticipated an increased growth and
spread OF slayehOding States, and therefore 1t
war that il was deemed unnecessary TO make other
guarantees beyond those which were incorporated
In tho Constitution. Suppose they had provided
for the approximation OF certain number OF inhablt-
ants In all time TO would not an increased num-
bsr Of inhabitants make 1t necessary TO cnanSe tno
Constitution 30 as TO provide for representation on an
increased ratio Of inhabitants When the Constltn-
ton was framed for this Coniederscy there was but
one Free State and twelve SlsyehOdng States, - that
then the Constitution adequate foe the protection
Of all sections. But new they had nineteen free States
and only seven slavehodng States be was n earnest
n this business and he sincere when be sa that
lie did derire to interfere with Slavery IL the States
where it existed. He was that his colleagues were
equally sincere In their ssssveratlons In tbs regard
But would they guarantee that their socesors Ia ten or
twenty years hence would lie imbued with Ike senI-
ments Would they answer for the progress of public
opinion in the Free States and for the ground they might
ia some ten years hence lie maintained thatn
the remaining Slave States continue IN the Union they
had right 10 demand new guarantees and, as lar ds
has vote waA concerned, they should have 1t. APP
plsuae the door, right Of the Chair He would eau
ton hs friends, they were now maSlpg a. mistake.
He could tell them that public opinion III the states
would not warrant their refusal 10 vote for this pro-
posed amendment TO the Constitution, and st all
events 10 cay the lesst If IT, !; was most unSracious
thing for them to refuse TO allow public expressicn
of opinion ON the subject. They might rest assured
that Ia voting against this their position would
not be sustained All he wOnld ssy was that IL this
thing refused all he would ask Of his South
ern friends to forego any act of secession or RASH
nees till the friends Of the measure had opportunity
of appealing to the people Of the Free States.
General applause on the floor followed the close Of
these remarks.
Mr.. STANTON, amid great excitement and general
applause tho Democratic side, and furious appeals
from the Republican side for hearing renewed the
motion for the previous question
Mr.. LOYEJOY rep, Ill rose, but vainly s;rove
70 gam hearing. All his efforts were host, and bad
10 he ultimately abandoned IN the face Of continuous
call 10 order at the highest pitch Of members voices
The wors 81 nsst-it is not fair" only surIn0rnied
the uproer.
Several members who had kept themselves in
serve, called the genteman OR. Lovejoyl TO order.
Mr.. LOVEJOY-" Mr.. Speaker" again the gentle.

TO cheers.
Mr.. LOyEJoY taking advantage of the dgresson)
shouted ont that IL unfair, az two speeches had
been made on that ride.
The chorus of "Order" was again taken up, and
again Mr.. Loyeoy's most stentorian Efforts were as

TIE SPEAKER, regardless Of the noise his right,
ard the most wildly uttered but unheard calculations
of the Republicans his Left successfully TO
make himself heard, as with determined effort be
called 10 members IN favor Of the previous question to
stand up.
The sudden action Of so many members in rising 70
their feet added greatly TO the uproar that cuod in
the hall, and must have excited snticipations OF
general row in the minds Of the spectators who crowded
the galleries.
MIR. vANDEyER Rep. Iowa) suddenly got in, 81
demand TO have chance 10 be heard"
ANY hopo of chance the gentleman might have
been sauguine enough 20 entertain must have been
crushed In the bud before the renewed breaking forth
Of the storm OF cries 10 Order, Sit down." Call
the roll" &c.
The CLERK struggled against the din, and slowly
got through some Of the names but was brought sud
denly up by calls 10 " Clear the Hail."

House Loud cries Of Order" "0rder," Call

sideration Of yesterday vote.
