the taking of the vote upon the special order the
report of the Committee of Thirty-three until

the present session of COngress.--The special Or
der was postponed until Thursday next.--Mr
HUTCHlNS, of Ohio, took the floor. He asked
the guidance of the Spirit that with right heart
and pure, he might manage the subject before him
Tor the good of the country. He was opposed alto
gether to the compromise, for if they made one
compromise, they did not know what request
would come next, and he would not talk of saving
the Union by making compromise.--Mr.
SiMMS, OF KY, addressed the House,
de said that he had listened to the debates of the
Republican side of the House, and had found them
almost to man opposed to compromise He un-
derstood the whole matter to be thus Shall the
Chlcago platform stand or the Constitution of the
United States-which should go down, the Chica-
go platform or the government Why do not the
hepuolcans vote for the Crittenden propositions
That would establish the Chicago platform north of
the line of sc 80. Mr.. Staunton, of Ohio had said
that he did not recognize property in man.
Therefore he did not, in his opinion, recognize
the Constitution of the United States--Mr
.
OF property in man, but it was local institution
Mr. SlMMS said it was very plain that the Re-
publican party had determined to outlaw the slave
holding States of the Union, and by no means al
low any more slave States to come into the confed-
eracy; and not only this, but they would destroy
the power OF the slave States and circle them with
tree States, until they would come and lick the
very dust off their feet. He would tell them this:
hentucEy mad hitherto been loyal to the Union,
and he did not believe there was disunionist per
sc In his state, but she determined to have
equality. lie referred to the Missouri compro-
mise, and said that after the Mexican war the
South wanted the line extended, but the Re-
publicans would not do so. They were not
willing to let the South have half the territory
then, and now they wanted to play the grab game
and take it all. Northern men had been unbending,
uncompromising and abusive in the highest degree.
When future historian writes the history of our
times, and looks over the Congressional Globe and
reads the representatives speeches of this and last
session, he would say that a horde of infamous
hends and devils inhabited fifteen States of this
Union. And now, before heaven, and before earth
and all mankind, he charged them (the representa-
tlTes with being the of the issue between the
Northern and Southern States this day

ures, before God he would tell them that
they would sever the last link that binds together
this common country.-Mr. CON, of Ohio, rose

matter to Southern members. He wished the gem
tleman to name the member.--Mr. HUTCHINS said
he referred to the gentleman from Virginia-Mr
Leake.-Mr. cox said that he had furnished
the facts himself to the House and not to the gen
tleman from Virginia. He was here as representa-
tive OF the United States as well as representa-
tive from his own district, and he has to expose
evil deeds to the country.-Mr. STANTON made
some explanations with regard to his support of
Judge Brinkinhof, of Ohio, who was elected as
charged by MIR. Cox, upon the issue that he was OPP
posed to the execution of the fugitive slave law,
and did not recognize the decision of the Supreme
Court on the ject.-The House then adjourned
