ment of Senator BENTON against it, was
unanswerable. From the great number
of speeches published, We make . brief
extract as
SENATOR SEWARDS WARNING.
The sun has set for The last time upon the
guaranteed and certain liberties Of all The un-
selled and unorganized portions of the Amer
ican continent that lie within the jurisdiction
Of the United States. Tomorrow sun will
rise in dim eclipse over them. How long
that observation shall last. is known only To
the Power that directs and controls all human
events. For myself, l know only this-that
no human power can prevent lis coming on.
Through all the darkness and gloom Of the
present hour bright stars are breaking, that
inspire me with hope, and excite me to per-
severance. They show that the day o: COM
promises has passed for ever, and that hence
forward all great questions between Freedom
and Slavery iegitImately coming here-and
none other can come-shal! be decided, as
they ought TO be, upon their merits, by fair
exercise Of legislative power. and not by bar
gains of eQuivocal prudence, if not OF doubtful
morality.
The House Of Representatives has, and il
always will have, an increasing majority OF
members frcm ihe rec Siates.
Sir, l see one more sign OF hope. Inc
great support OF Slavery IN the SCUM mas
been lis alliance win the Democrauc parry
of the North. W hlle Democracy IN the NORM
has thus been supporting Slavery IN the
South. the people of the North have been
learning more profoundly the principles OF
repnbiicanIsm and OF Tree government. Al
this moment, when there seems TO De more
Of ,h Ed
ment in favor of Slavery than ever before the
sentiment OF Universal Liberty is stronger IN
all free states than IL ever was before. with
that principle, the present Democratic parry
must now come into a closer contest. Their
prestige Of Democracy is fast waning. by rea.
son of the hard service which their alliance
with their slaveholding brethren has imposed
upon them. That power will not be restored
