truth is no rcSpcCtCr OF persons. /
have 40 desire to do injustice to him
or his political friends in the border
States, for | am ready to say that
whatever may be the Judgment Of pos
tcrity upon the acts OF those of us
who, upon this floor and at home
among their constituents in the slave
holding States, have hcr0iCal! Y fought
the battle Of the Union and COnstitu-
ton against fanat;cism and treason in
their own sCction-thesc names, say,
will be cherished in grateful remem-
brancc whether the Union cndurcs or
not.
Mr.. Maynard--I concur with the
gentleman, that truth is no rcspcCter
Of persons but persons ought to be
respcctcrs of truth and it is for that
reason that | put the question, whcth-
cr the gentleman from Iowa had done
Justice to us Union men Of the South
in respect to the proposition submitted
by the distinguished Senator from
kentucky?
Mr.. Naudevcr-I am cndeavoring 70
serve the cause Of truth when | show
that for good reasons, under the cir
CumstanccS now existing, | cannot
concur in the proposition OF the Senator
from Kentucky, which provides for the
protection and guarantee Of slavery
in the Territories Of the Union, or in
any proposition which shall, in effect,
set aside the verdict pronounced in
the late election.
Ne. Maynard Still the gentleman
does not answer my question.
Mr.. Nandcver-Now, Mr.. Speaker,
the Crittenden proposition recognizes
and protects slavery south Of the line
SO 80, in all the Territories Of the
Union. Tho border State proposition
docs the thing, not in such definite
and specific language, bat Just as ct-
fcctuallv protects and maintains slav-
cry south Of that line, by saying that
there shall be no power in Congress,
or in the Territorial Legislature, or in
the people of a Territory, however
much they may desire it, to prohibit
slavery in such Territory. The prop
osition of the committee Of thivty-t,hrcc
is less otjcctiouablc in form than citn-
rr of the others but it goes to the
same extent in effect.
