and tlaniiiTous subjocts they «‘iiil>raced.
Mr. IIousTON said, in suhstance, that
there CtiuUl be iiothiii^ cj«ivtK.‘al in his p )-
sition on the (’oniproiiiise measures, lie
wns tile oiilv inenihor >t the f^euute at thif>
time who had vt>ti‘d f(>r all tho.se uioa.'-ines.
Mr. Sturireoii, of IVniisylvunia, had voted
for thciu ail, but he was not im*w ot the
Si-nate. He was oppuscd ti> inalcinir any
additional features in th* l>cin K-ratic poli
cy. That party reetiniscd treedoin of o-
pinion. It allowed a diftep'uco of ojiinion
among its ujembers on .several subjects.
On the subjcft of internal inipn-vcint nts,
and on the tariff, wide ditfcn-nees of opin
ion existed, ami he tiiouirht an o^jual libvr-
tv of sentiment might be allowed on this
quostiou. He having votvd for all the
measures etnbraeod in tijo Coinprniu’.se,
wa> now dispos«‘l to h'avc thi’Ui witli the
people for their aetion. He tlionght that
S ii;itor!« were only h !i gatod to reprc?i.nt
the sentiments uf the jx-ople, and not to
frame new prineiples for tlu iu. 1 he De-
niwTatic ]>lattoriu had bfcii e>taV>li>hfd; he
did not think it the duty of (’oiigress to
eiil:irg' it or phuc vipon it new uuitti,r. If
it be not large enough, the ]>eopK‘, and not
their reprvsi utaiivcs in C'ongrv ;^.s, should
place new planks on it. He thought the
attempt to crowd it in with extraneous
questions would be eah ulatod to break it
down.
'J'his resolution was no party measure.
It had b« eu offered, in a eaueus of the
Jlouse, and rijeiU‘I by a vote of .>0 to
Had it been offered in a caucus lure, it
would not liave met with bettor favor. No
therefore, violated lii^ {>arty allegi-
-j happy
a!ice bv not voting for it. He thought it
itnprojK'r to include tiiis subii* t as ]>art >t
tiie Hemix-nitic platform. 'I'h.it platform
was now wide enough to cmbrai-e the whole
I’nion.
He tofik up separately the >everal aet>
comprisi;i*j; the Compromise, and ex imined
tht-m; he gave t'lo rea>on>. wliy he h id
>-upport»d them all.
He had vote*! for the Oregon bill, not-
withstauJing it coutaiiud the Wiluiot pn>-
becuuao it did not violate the Mi>'OU-
ri compromise line of •j*i' oU'. In vutiii_'
for that bill he had vnt4*d for that line.—
For so doing he h.id bi en denounced b\
some at the South. He read extracts from
the dt'bates in thi .Senate to >how that the
South abandoned that line tiien. In (Oc
tober, 1>*49, the 3Ii.s.sis>ippi rmventinn as-
pombled, and from their proceedings origi
nated th* Na>hville (’(invention. That
convention adopted as their ultimatum the
line of 8ti° 30', the .-^ime line for voting
fur which he had been denounced.
He real sc-veral extract-i fn ni speeches
of his own, and other> of Mr. Foote, to
show that wh.it he stated in I'ebruary.
1850, that the Mi.-«si.s.sip}»i t'onvention was
originated by influences in South (.'arolina,
had been fully -n-tained by the late speech
of tiie Sen.itor from Mississippi, notwith
standing the denial of the fact at that time
by the Senator.
He again rep“at« d that, with respect to
tlte (’ompromiM' measures, he ?tiK«l on no
'juivK‘al L'round; he not onlv voted for
th. ■m, liut intriHluced a propo.-ition f r a
eomuiittee to report tli m. Hut while tin y
had received his cordial supjiort, he jiro-
te,«ted against an}- one placing them on th-
jK'iufHrratic platform. The convention of
the party might do so; but he prototed a-
gain.st tiie pa.>.sa^e of any re.olution by
Congres.s other than its legitimate legisla
tion, which was to bind that or anv other
party. He would not blacken tlie journal
of the Senate by placing there thi> resolu
tion, or any otlier which was intcu led for
]»nrty or persotial y>nrposes.
Discord now existed in the party, dif
ferences of opinion existed on the sulject
t)f internal improvements and upon the ta
riff. ^Vhy should that discord be increas
ed by adding to the platform a resolufjou
upon which the same differences of oj>inion
existeii.' 1 he platform should not l>e en-
largr'd without lirst rceoneiling differences
wiiieh already existed. He could vote for
no measure which was caleulatod to dis
tract the fiarty to which he belonged; ami
be would not distract that party by forcing
on it any measure extraneous to tJie estab
lished prineijdes of the jiarty. If he saw
any thing in the re.solution which would bo
advantageous to the whole country, or to
his party, he might be inclined more fa
vorably townrds it.
He alluded to the personal controversies
■which to.ik place last year between himself
and certain Soutii Carolinians, and repeat-
eil his declaration that the constitution of
that State was not as liberal in its provi
sions as it might be.
In l.'-4, when in the other House, he
for the ttrst time heard of secession, disu
nion, and resistance to the constitutional
aets of the Federal Government, he thought
then that, though not technically tn?ason,
f?tiil treason was in the heart of the speak
er. lie heal’d the same now avowel here;
though .stripped of the technicalities which
would constitute that avowal legal trea.son,
yet it wa.s not without all the moral turpi
tude of that crime. He hop**d tliat all
such d(K-trines would sink into the oblivion
they deserved.
Mr. Foote, of Miss. Mr. President, 1
rpgret very much to be compelled to tres-
])as.-. upon the attention of the Senate; but
all must perc‘ive that it will be impossible
tor me, without relimjuishing all sentiment
of self-respect, to permit what has fallen
from the hon. senator from Texa.s to go un
replied to. hether the .senator prepared
his speech, expecting 1 siiould be absent,
and made the fir.^t regular assault on in.“
which he has ever undertaken in this IxkIv,
under the hope that it would not be rtCi-
ponded to, remains to be deei«led by others.
I happen to be here, and 1 intend, so far
as I eau, to give him a Rowland for his Ol
iver.
Mr. IIuL’sTON. If tb^' gentleman will
^ permit me, I wouM say that I notified him
on Saturday that I .should op]iose this res
olution.
Mr. l o(»TK. The gentleman did; but he
gave no notification that he would make
such an attack as he lias made. I heard a
rumor through town that I was to receive
a drubbing here this morning, during my
abscnce, and I remained ou tliat account.
1 have heard the gentleman at length, and
have listened to him with forbearance, with
out any undue rewntmcnt; and 1 am very
that he Ins given me a legitiinat«'
and jiroper occasion for C"umieiitiug, with
suitablv'feeling, not much at length, and ^
with no maliguity, ujnm his course iu con
nection witli the pending question.
The geiitiv luan undertakes to intimate', j
in the very face of my solemn d 'deration
to the contrary, l a dcclavution which 1 for
mally put ill writing and read to the Seii-
1 ate,) by multiplied iuuendoes, that L ha 1
: intr.Hluced tliis resolution for .«ome illicit
' jiartv purpose; aiid he has given the Sen
ate on this iK'casion, tho benefit of a regu-
‘ lar party h iriiiigac. 1 deny the imputa-
tatim made by him.
Mr. HcL'sToX. I esjiecially exempted
, the senator rn>in it.
I Mr. F'xn'K. The s. nator did exempt me
from it, but .still ent;>.ni:led me iii it by in
sinuation. lie knows how to manage Miese
things Very well. Tlie inipre.ssion whit h
will go out from the senator's speech is,
that 1 intrudiieed this resolutim for the
purpose of destroying tbe haruiooy ot the
• iemocratie party. I lie gentli'iinn talked
about doctors, auvl ab lut )KTsons unh rtak-
^ iiiil to enlarge tlie party platf'rni. All that
is ju rfvetly uiiderst'iod by some ot us. 1'
then' anv tiling in this re.solution repugnant
to d» moi-racy' If so, (U nioerai y is in itscll
a ni'instroiis thing. Is tl^ re any thing in
the.-ie compniiu’se in -.'.sures contrary to the
great princij)Ies of the democratic crteu!'
I deny it. As u tU luoerat I (h r.y it, an 1
as.sert that there is ii't >.ne single imp.'rt-
ant iiiateiial t\ aturi' ei.nnv.*ete(.l with this
plan of settlement whi h is not in perfect
liarmony with the great tiuidament.il prin-
cijdes of ?he democratic faith. ^1 he man
who does not understand that do.'s i,nt uii-
der'tand the first elementary piineii'les el
the democratic creeil. hy, the demo
cratic }>arty is a I'nion pirty—a jiarty

They have underrated the intellii'i-rieo of
the peeplo (d‘ this coMiitry. The ]-eop!e
have a little more uiidert;ii;ding th.in
■some per>;nns .‘^nj'pose. The trickery of
demagogucism h.is already l>ecome mi fa
miliar to the int»‘lligent and .'airacious ji“o-
ple of thi« cmntry, that it is no sooner
practi.sed in their view than the jK-rformer
finds hiinsclf jirostrated before an indig
nant and outraged constituency.
' Sir, 1 hope the day has mine bv when
any little tricksters, wi*h sliall >w intellects,
j utterly deficient in all knowletlge of states
manship, with no moral quality on the face
of (ih1’searth which could induce any man
to think of them for high station, will lie

nagement to attain high places, the incuni-
I i>eucy of which by such ]>‘ rsons must ine-
• vitably iiiHict jiermaneut, lasting, and in-
' cffacebledisgrace upon our free institutions.
I I have no respect for demagogues; I like
j sometimes to exjiose them. 1 am not do-
I ing it now; oh, no, I wml i not be .so dis
courteous and unparliamentary; but I tio
like sometimes to expose persons of this

I the expres.sion, to employ the i udg-1 of
' castigation upon such jieople.
I The .senator from Texas t.alks about the ^
1 Senate of the T'niteil States beiiifr c('uvert-
' ed into a political machine. What did he
; mean by that? Nothing iu the world, of
course. He talks about the resolutiitn be-
, ing a fbigrant usurpation upon the jieople’s
rights. He di 1 not mean anything lisr(>- i
spectful by that—di, no. lJut tlie gentle
man s.iys that this thing commenced in the
democratic caucus, and that a.similar reso
lution Ijeing rejected there, it was vamped j
j up and reintroduced here for a similar jiur-
jpo.se. The gentleman is willing, a.s 1 un-i
derstaiid him, that the unity and concord I
of the democratic party .shall not be .so far I
I broken in upon a,s to prevent the rankest j
j free-soilers from coming into our midst and !
j exercising efftcicnt iufluence iu the jiolitical j
I contents of tlie day. I understand wdiat
I the gentleman means, ile hat, a very spe-
I cial audience. [Here the .spc, ker pointed
to Mr. Ii;intonl, who was sitting just Vie-
I hind him.] The signs of the times are ve
ry ominous. I understand them well e-
nough. There are .some men [of course not
in the Senatti") who urc prepared to give
tlieir ilelibcrtito s'lnetion to corrupt prliti- j
cal bargains, by means ot which mean and :
unj>rincipled men are to be elevated to high j

as ■••Imost to stamp permanent discredit up-,

titieti, at tlii.s moment, on the fiart of our

that the remainder tif tho Compmmise j

the rest—shall he faithfully carried out.
