Mr.. WICKLIFFE I'm. Ky.) opposed the pend
| ing resolution as unwise and unconstitutional.
Mr.. WICKLIFFE I'm, Ky.) remarked, If as The
! gentleman from Pennsylvania tStevenel yesterday
said this resolution meant nothing at all, he Wick
fe) thought Congress ought not 10 trouble the,n-
selves about il. No doubt the mover OF tne rssou-
ton could tell what was meant by Il. He Wick
liiiel desired light this subject. To-day ms col
League lCritreuden) asked leave to make single
statement This was refused. Yesterday, when the
resolution w8s introduced, the mover sprung t'e
previous cues On thus seeking to cut OIL debate the
gentleman declaring at the time he was under
pledge 10 call the question. With all respect TO
the House he did not believe thirty men here would
vote for a tax to purchase negroes. If it were left
10 him 10 say whether the slaves he might own
should be emaucipaed by being paid Tor them out OF
the Treasury of the Union States, be would reply,
No. He would prefer they should escape by the
underground railroad rather than the people
should be taxed to pay him for whatever Losses he
might thus sustain. He denied the constitutional
power fret to interfere, and then 10 appropriate
money to buy slaves. He might be accused OF
want of loyalty for expressing his old-fashoned
sentiments In the course OF his remarks, he SAID IL
the people Of Kentucky shall be lett TO their Tree
choice with the continuance OF their right TO contro
their institutions IN their own way, they woua eay
we prefer the Government framed by our patriotic
fathers rather than join one hanging together oy
rome of sand and which cannot stand. III seemed 10
him the resolution proposed in effect to give up the
Cotton States provided the Border Slave States
would continue with the North SO
Mr.. OWEN rep, N. " said whether this
resolution shall he adopted or not whether the
Border Slave States shall abolish Slavery or not, he
should always be in favor of leaving them in posses
zion Of all the constitutional rights which they pos
sessed at the time they entered into the Union. All
the Northern States not united on 30 constituting
the Constitution as claim the exercise OF Jurisdic'
ton over domestic matters. Some OF them,
however, understand this resolution as Ia
no manner conflicting with their Ights; lie
alluded to the fact that Jen. Davis
recently declared the Rebels had undertaken too
much. ss If To let the Border Slave States go, and
concentrate bis energies IN the heart OF the Guit
States. with view 10 the ultimate recognition OF
their inderendence Why not, then, disappont the
hone O., The miserable and relentless enemy, fighting
10 tesperationl II all loyal men stand by all the
States and their reserved rights why should not the
Border Slave States be satisfied AS to the proPo-
ition pending il too late TO raise the question
of conslitutionalty. The aid could be Afforded on
tie ground of the arneioration Of the condition OF
race OF men, while i, is not proposed to interfere
with the nights of any State.
i Mr.. BIDDLE I'm, Pal said: have given some
reflection TO this matter since our adjournment yes
,erday. have not had an opportunity, however, 10
confer with others nor 10 learn the wishes oil my
constituents. / see plainly that the easier and more
popular course will be to vote for this resolution
Tho sentiment it expresses il amiabe and philan-
thropic that IL commeDds itself to every one. But,
Sir il not the duty Of the representative to consult
only the feeling of the moment have asked my
ref shall truly represent the interests, and sober
second thought Of my constituents by declaring that
20 all the burdens that are 10 rect upon them and
their children, they ought to aid the yast increase
necessary 10 give any practical effect to the resola-
ton Ii would take nearly million Of dollars To
turn the few slaves In Delaware into free negroes,
and what theni In every other sale the purchaser
wants the subject of it delivered TO him. My consti-
tuents would desire that. Before we expect
the proposal to be Of any effect, We must make the
terms Of it specific. The resolution says only
that the United States onght to give pecunary aid
10 the adjustment Of Slavery. IL has ever been my
belief that this measure Of which the RESPONSE
bility and the burden rests on the people Of the
State in which slavery exists. State action on 1t
has always been benefcent. Federal action has
always been exasperating pernicious, and, think,
unconstitutional. | do not PREJUDICE any practical
,bot, bar affay 10 N
such can be devised; but now will not, on behalf
of my constituents, declare that the Federal Gov
eminent ought 10 increase our burdens for the pur-
poee. regret that cannot vote for the resolution.
Mr. CRiSFIELD I'm, Nd said be had no doubt
that the President, in making the recommendation,
was actusted by high and honest principles; but the
proposition ought 10 be free offer from other than
the Republican side Then let those from the Border
Slave States give the answer. Ii WAS not proper
that he should vote upon this subject, because he and
bis constituents have personal interest in 1t.
Mr.. OLlN rep, n. Y. in reply TO Mr.. Wicklifte,
denied that either the people or this House have any
object In the prosecution of this different from
the declaration Of this body in August last, namely,
the maintenance OF the Constitution and Union.
True there was difference Of opinion ~ to what
means should be employed. The persistent efforts
of the Southern men to Undue the southern mind
with tho belief that the party in power would by
| force and violence cmancipate the slaves, adds
strength to the Rebels II this could be disspated
the enemy would fall like phosphor before the sun
lie spoke In favor Of tho resolution, which he
sorry see had unnecessarily produced too much
element in this House. The people of the Free
States being willing TO be taxed for the consumma-
ton of the plan, certainly eyipced kind feelings and
not hostility.
Mr.. CRfrTENDEN Union KY. said there was
"a consultation of the Border Slave States men this
morning. and he came into the House instructed TO
move the post ponenent of the resolution till Mon
day. lie was not able, however, to make the mo-
ton, having been cut of by the previous question
