the discussion of looO. I insisted that if
the gentlemen would come , forward knd
repeal the Missouri restriction, and throw

take it; and in fact, in a speech in the
House.of Representatives, I agreed td tote
for this principle if they would remove
the restriction up to the fortieth parallel,
from 30 30', considering that, sufficient
compensation. It was not done, howeier,
and I opposed the scheme,
the northern portion of th
party, with great magnanimity and with
great risk to themselves, came up and
repealed this old restriction. In ;doing

tbe present condition of the case , there is
no necessity for ill-feeling on either side,
or for declarations m advancer"
My second point was, that New Mexico
had already established a slave code and
given us more territory than we sbould
have gotten tinder the Missouri line, if
carried out. I come now to the third
point, and that is, what has grown out of
ine aecision or me court in tne JLred Scott
case. V hen this subiect was under debate
in
1850,
we
01 tne boutn objected to
non-intervention on the ground that : it
would leave the Mexican law in force : and
inasmuch as the Supreme Court had main
tained the opinion in a case from Florida,
and perhaps m some other decisions. that
fftre lerjtitory waa icquif idSthe local law
mignt reTimn-'fr
to take! non-intervention without a repeal
of theMexican . law. During that inter
esting controversy, we held a caucus of
southern4members, consisting of Senators
and Representatives, and on that occasion
the Senator from Georgii, who usually
sits behind me, (Mr. Toombs,) introduced
a proposition (into our caucus that we
would support the compromise measures
if they would-repeal the Meixcan laws and
substitute the British colonial laws which
prevailed in our colonies prior to the Rev
olution. That was adopted, and that gen
tleman moved it in the Honse of Rep
resentatives as an amendment, but it was
defeated. I am free to say that if at that
time we had been satisfied that the court
would hold that -under the Constitution
slave property conld exist and be protected
in the Territories, without reference to
local laws, I am verv sure we should all
have voted for the compromise of 1850
If it be true, as the Senator from Mis
sissippi contends, that the Dred Scott de
cision settles the question and supports the
ngnt ot a slaveholder in a Territory, then
there is another strong reason why we
should acauiesce m non-intervention at
this time. This, therefore, is a third
reason : and I now propose to give one or
two O hers why a person like myself, who
originally did not adopt it, may now be for
it
It has been adopted as the policy of the
country for ten years. Can we now pass
through resolutions or bills to establish or
protect slaverv in the Territories ? ' That
is the question. Recollect, it is only in, a

So bave many of the southern States like

these gentlemen must.cbange their ground
at once, or 'he driven out of- the;party. I ' I
ask you, Mr. President,can they maintain
themselves before their opponents uncter
this disadvantage ? Suppose,. for example,
the delegation from Pennsylvania go home
from a convention where the policy of in
tervention has been adopted : how will
their opponents meet them ? ;. Their Re
publican opponents.wijlsay to tjiera : "you
have all been fighting for ten years upon
the pVincipJe of non-intervention, and at
your S.tate convention, last-March you
passed resolutions, without division, unan
imously! declaring that Congress had no
power to legislate on .the subjec-tof slavery
in the Territories ; and that it would not
be expedient for them io exercise it, if they
naa it : r you went to tne national conven-d
tion, and the slave pow.ee hae imposed on
you an I intervention plank-a plank by
which you will have to legislate 1 slavery 1
into and maintain it in the Territories. T
They will call it, of course, la slave code.
Will our friends be able to maintain themi
selves advantageously uhder'the cirxJumi
stances ? I put it to the common se.nse of
everybody if that can be expected' ; I will
not say. as a goutheinireniJoman .vjwJ,
me tne other day, who was ln lavojr 01 a
southern candidate' at Charleston, that if
the" angel Gabriel was put iupoq a slave
code plank he would be defeated all through
the North. . I do not know a'ry thing about
what sort of a run angels :would make ;
but I am clearly of the ripinion thatj it
would weaken any candidate we run in
the North. Why ? All me have a pride
of opinion ; all men nave a regard for con
sistency. It this were a new question,
and noi ground had ever been taken upon
it, it ia possible th we might bring? up
many gentlemen to, tne point of passing a
proposition jo protect slavery in the Jer
ritorieaji but when they havev stood upon
nbn-intervention for ten years : when all
their conventions have adopted it, I ask
you if it is possible: that "they can be pre-,
pared, at . this time, to turjV right abbut,
and go for intervention. Itfjdoes not.help
the matter at all that this thing is held up
in juturo. Suppose it be Eall that "when
ever it is necessary. Congress must legis
late to; protect blave, property ;" the Abo-
uuuuibLs wuuiu say in im,. canvass, 11.
will be necessary as soon a the, presiden
tial election is over, if you erry the dy."
They will say that, of course. , Our friend
perhaps, may dispute it, '.fend say they
think it will be a long time before it is
necessary; but 'that is the arguments they
will have to meet.4 The Abolitionists WiU

But again, Mr. President,4 it is argued
that there are differences of opinion on tho
subject of non-intervention' and the mean-
ingof the Cincinnati "platform. . I really,,
doj not ; think there is ; any difference of L.
opinion as far as the action of Congress is
concerned. I think ho man can read that ,
platform, or the 'Nebraska bill, or; the ..
speeches on that occasion, without, seeing ; r
that we are all agreed so Far as congression
aljaction is concerned. '.J.. bave extracts',

gent mind; 1 fn the next place," to show
that this was the universal opinion of thav
party then,: as I could do in this' way, I
should haYe to' take up the time of tho v
Senate to too great length, and I should
also, perhaps, oblige gentlemen to make
explanations of their positions. . But : I
think it abundantly clear that Congress was
not to mteriere with the subject; - that the
difference of opinion was upon the point
after that what would be the effect 0- '
congressional non-intervention. Some gen-;
tlemen said that the Territories might leg--islafe
to protect slavery but not to pro- 1
hibit it. Others said' they might legislate
either to prohibit it or not. This 'question, ,
rom necessity, is one that the cpurts nfust .
determine. Suppose a law is passed by a
Territorial Legislature :. .who lletermines
its . constitutionality and validity f ; The -
courts. Our opinion will-not control the
courts. Suppose the Senate should re-
solve unanimously that a particular thing
wa legal and constitutional : the Supremo -
Court, or any other court, would not be
bound to adopt it at all. j There is, in fact, -no
difference, as far as the action of Con
gress is required, on the subject. We
differ as to what the eourt will decide
about the power of a 'Territory. ; I, for Y
exam plcrbelieve,and have said again and
again that I think the court will bold, that 1
a Territorial legislature has a right to pro?
tqet property, and cannpt legislate against
it. I think so. Somebody else entertains .
an opposite opinion. It is nepessarily a
judicial question.
A But again, sir, it is said that the Cm? .
cpnati platform, with the doctrine of non
intervention, is construed differently" by
different people. So is the Constitution
of "the United States; and yet we havo
never thought proper to make' a new.Con-.
stitution. So is the Bible f the churches
have divided about it for the last two thou
sand years or more ; and yet Providence
ha's not thought proper to favor us with a
new Bible. -Nobody has asked it. Per:
haps I am wrong I believe the Abolition
ists have said that the times demanded an
anti-slavery Constitution, an anti-slavery
Bible, and an anti-slavery God; and they
have made for themselves a new constitu
tion in the "higher law," and, for aught T
know, they may adopt Joe Smith's Mor
mon' Bible. They have easily found .a .
divinity in John Brown; and sonn'of
them arc relying, they say, "on him, and
him hanged." But I do not find that any
considerable portion of the Christian world
asks for a new divinity or a different Bible,
and yet they difer about it. So with re-'
gard to the Constitution. It turns out,
therefore, that the Cincinnati platform
stands in the same portion with, these,
other great instruments id this respect,
i What has occurred since 185G ? I was
a member of the convention when that
I
platform was adopted at Cincinnati, and it
was unanimously adopted, and was satis-'
factory. What has occurred since 1 j- I
know of nothing'that is I supposed (0 hava
any bearing upon it, except the Dred Scfrtt'
decision. If gentlemen say that that ought
to be a part of our platform I doubt wheth
er anybody will object.;; Every Democrat
that' I know of .yields to the decisions of
the courts on questions of ,that kind. - I
prefer, though, taking the decision itself to
anyman's commentary upon it, just as J!
would prefer adopting the Bible to the
views of any commentator, j If If should
attempt to read in any court what som-
body said was a former decision the judges . f
