Mr.. Nelson, Gam, Tenn.,) took the
floor. He said he stood here to plead
for his country. He did not wish to
say anything that could be construed
into favoring the secession movement
on the one hand, or the Republican
party on the other. Notwithstanding
the gloomy and disastrous condition OF
the Union, Congress has done nothing
in the way of arresting the evil and re-
lieving us from the dangers and difficult
ties by which we are surrounded. Gen

they were of feeting and transitory
importance, without considering the mo-
mentous consequences involved.
The two causes which lie at the foun,
dation of the differences which charact,
erize our deliberations arc, first, the
pride of opinion; second, party spirit
To adhere to these in the present crisis
is unworthy of the representatives o.
fteemen. Instead of disseminating with
lightning speed the Intelligence that
nothing will be done and all hope de.
stroyed, they would give evidence of an
earnest disposition to perform their duty
there would be more probability o.

by Virginia, is likely to still further en-

COLUMBUS, Jan. %.
There was an exciting debate in the
House this afternoon on Mr.. highs res
olution, relating to the appointment of
Commissioners to Washington on the
4th proximo. The debate commenced
by Mr. Nigh moving to take the resolu-
ton from the table, when Mr.. Musson
moved its reference to the Judiciary
Committee. The motion was made in
order to delay the matter. Mr. Nigh
led off in vigorous speech, opposing
the reference, and was followed by Mr..
Parrott, on the same side, and by DR..
Scott and Mr.. Plants in favor Of a refer
ence. Mr. Plants moved to instruct the
Committee, which opened up discus
sion on the merits of the proposition.
From that time, the debate took a
wide range. Mr.. Parrott spoke second
time, and made one of the most able and
eloquent speeches ever heard in the Rep
resentatives' Hall. A large number of
spectators were present, who with the
members seemed spell bound during its
delivery. The speech has added largely
to Mr.. Parrott's reputation as an orator
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Stedman, Scott, Robinson and others.
As to the propriety of appointing
Commissioners to meet Virginia and our
sister States. at this or any other time,
there can be little diversity of opinion,
but the tug of war will arise out of the
question, Who shall send them, and who
shall be sent? The Republicans will
contend that the Governor, by and with
the consent Of the Senate, shall choose
the Commissioners, and that he is the
only power, under the Constitution,
which can do it, while the Democracy,
and some of the Republicans, will con-
tend that the Legislature shall appoint,
and that the Commissioners shall be
made up Of Democrats, Conservatives,
and Republicans A resolution to this
effect, was introduced into the House
late on Saturday afternoon, by Mr.
Nigh, of Lawrence This resolution
proposed, Independent of the Governor,
TO constitute Gov Davy Todd, Judge
Swan, Judge Tildon, Hon Thomas

commended by the majority committee.
! He would not vote for the admission of

licved before God that slavery would be

Mr.. Clemens showed that the law of
population governed the question. 1t
was population and capital the South
wanted, not territory He showed the
object of the Southern Confederacy was
to open the African slave trade. The
South out Of the Union will never be
