. f" " . " " '""iira lu uiUKU MIOWD in UHS ,

ki this address Mr. Dourfas declares that if the

fr.Ju the Union, upon the inaue ration of Abraham !
T .t rr . . .k J i

lbt he will counsel him to do so, ar.d aid him to
S-fo, by all the means in his power.
Aiow, as there is a large party at the North avow-
-yjf; the most mipia.able hostiiiiv to the institutions
L10 South, whose candidate fr the Presidency is
ncoln, this declaration of Mr. Doutrlas is in
.-A-.-t--thHt the n oi' a man to the Presiden
cy of the United States, by the votes" ;donc of one
section, who is pledged to use all the powers of the
Government for the destruction of the rights and
property of the other section, would not justify the
wj iktr in resistance ; but that if in such event, the
fiftein Southern States should assume to determine
on he extent of tneir danger, and to quietly with- I 0iition of siaVerv in the States, and in the District
dmv from it, he should regard their action as re- j of Columbia. Sir. John Q. Adams of Massaeiiu
vols a:.-l as such to be punished with all the force 1 getl aiul Ml. s!jl l& of Vt. mut uon thoir 4.illisi.n
of 'he Government. Than this we can conceive of inoulh i(.cc Thc gentlem. n would pr. se.it

which it would be the uuty ot the Chief Magistrate 1 it wap lUMlai to j:lv t14.st. roToiutions on the table,
to punish, with the .peaceable secession of States j Accordingly', n the lt?th .f December, I6."3 , whei-fi-om
a compact no longer consistent with the in- , a pea-ioi;,,. the ini.liatc abolition of 'slaverv in

I tneuiiioii as t pcipcLu.ii ooim, cA.tcimg uucoi.ui
j tionil submission, forever, from a weaker to a stron
; ger section. It strips the States of the chief attri
; bufe of sovereignty, to wit : The riirht to deter-
it..: . .. t.,,.1 1 1 i:
miic, when tlieir existence is put to hazard, as to
the means necessary to their preservation, and af
firns that, while it is legitimate in the people of
the North, having control of the general Govern
ment, through it, to inflict upon the States of the
Souh whatever wrongs it may be consistent with
thei- interest or feelings to impose, it would be trea
son in the people of the South to obey tlie orders
of tieir States in opposition to Federal authority.
Fraught with error as this doctrine is, subver
sive of that constitutional theory in which alone
the rights of the States are to be found, it has, at
this moment, and under the circumstances, a bloody
significance. The enemies of the South, in the
Nojthem States, have selected Abraham Lincoln to
lea them in the "irrepressible conflict" which lie
has proclaimed. Mr. Seward, the most distinguish
ed counsellor of Mr. Lincoln, declares at Uoston
thai the election of Lincoln is sure that with it
the power of sla very will end, and that the "irre
pressible conllict" will be pressed to its infamous
and bloody dose.
At such a moment tlie proclamation of such sen
timents by Judge Douglas (coining immediately af
ter JSeward's Boston speech,) uttered here at the
South, and addressed to the citizens of a State
whose Executive declared to Gen. Jackson that
Federal troops should only cross her borders over
tiie bodies of her sons by a man from the North,
from the neighborhood of Lincoln himself, a candi
date for the Presidency, volunteering his counsel to
Lincoln, and, in tho event of his election, his aid to
I wage Avar upon our people and to slay thou i v..t-
. November elections.

MURDER BY A MANIAC.
We learn of a horrid case of child murder which
: occured at Richfield Springs on Monday last. The
j Overseer of the Poor, Mr. "Ames, had taken to his
; own house a man who had been complained of by
' his neighbors as dangerous, on account of his vio
' lence, he being under the influence of mania a jmf'.i.
I On Monday the maniac was left during a sane in-
terval in the same room with a daughter of Mr.
i Ames and her infant child. He requested to hold
I the child, which at first the mother would not allow,
! but he finally induced her to let him hold the child,
j o sooner, however, had the monster gained pos
I session of the child than he seized it with one hand
! in its mouth, and dashed its brains out against the
1 floor. The poor mother was so transfixed with
I horror that for a moment she could not move nor
: utter a cry f alarm, but finding her voice she
I screamed murder, which so enraged the madman
. that had not assistance quickly arrived she would
' also have fallen a vi.-tim to his muiderous hand.

Up to ti.'is time he had voted unifoimlv
with his party against the agitation of the shivery
question in Congress through t he presentation of
Abolition petitions. But alter abandoning- General
Jackson, iiiid consorting with the Abolitionists,
Federalists, and disappointed Dcmociats, in order to
reach the Speaker' ti Chair, all ot which will be more
fully explained hereafter, we find him abandoning,
by degrees, his opposition to tli3 Abolitionists, aud
at last voting '1 them, and receiving Ue:r pl.'U
dits. During tho 24ih C,i:gre.'s, the Abolitionists and
Federah.-ts of New England tirst conceived 1 he idea
of aim ying Congress by the presentatn n of large
batches ot Abolition petitions, praying tor the an

was made to lav it on the table. Mr Led voted in
the negative with Messrs Adams, Slude & Co.
Again, on the iilsc of December, when a similar
petition was presented, and a motion made to lay
i it on the table, which was carried bv ayes 140, noes
7d, we find Mr. Bell
voting with Adam?, Sude &
Co. Page 31b
The frequency of the presentation of these peti
tions, aud the time wast jd in their discussion, to
the great detriment of the public, interest, called for
some decisive action on the part of the House.
Consequently, Mr. Owens, of Georgia, moved to
suspend the rules, in order to introduce tho follow
ing resolutions :
"Resolved, That in the opinion of this House, the
question of the abolition of slavery in the i istrict
i 1 .. . . i.. . . i i d ,
oi coiumoia ougui not io oe enieriaiueu ny i,nn-
gross.
"And be it further resolved. That in case any j
petition praving tiie abolition of slaverv in tlie I Ms- j
triet of Columbia 'be hereafter presented, it is the
deliberate opinion of this House that tlie same ought ,
to be laid upon the tabl without rea-ling." j
Mr. Bell voted with Adams, Slade & Co., and de-1
feateJ the motion to suspend the rules, two-thirds
being necessary for that purpose. Page 3D.)
I it order to dispose of this mitte-, Mr. Pinekney,
of South Carolina, moved a resolution providing for
the appointment of a Committee, "with instruc-
tions to report that Congress possesses no constitu-
tional power to interfere in any way with slavery in
any of the States of this Consedoraey ; and that
in the opinion of this House, Congress ou-ht not to
interfere in any way with slavery in the District of
Columbia, because it would be a violation ol the
public faith, unwise, impolitic and dangerous to
for the purpose of offering this resolution, the yeas
were 145, noes 00. Mr. Bell voted in tlie negative
He also voted against ordering the main question
to be put so as to bring the House to a vote on
the resolutions, but be vet lacked the nerve to vote
igainst them. Page 170, 171.
During the month of May, Mr Pinknev, lrom this
Committee, reported a series ot resolutions, the first
of which was the following :
"Resolved, That Congrees possesses no Constitu
tional power to interfere in any way with the insti
tution of slavery in any of the States of this Con
federacy.
The question then recurred to brnging the House
to a vote on the resolutions by ordering the mai l
luestion to be put, when we find Mr. Bell voting
with Adams, Slade & Ce to stave off a vote. They
id not succeed, however, and the question recur-
rimr on the resolution itself, we find Mr. Bell li.'a-
ht'i the vote ! lie did not desire to offend his Abo
lition friends, one of whom ( Air. Adams) said in
reference to the resolution:
"If the House would allow me five niinu'es'
time, I pledge myself to prove that resolution false
and utterly untrue " Page 4'J .
Vindmnr bv the above vote that thev could not
defeat the other resolutions, the Abolitionists then
strove to st ive o I a vote on them by tactions mo
tions. They would move to adjourn, and then
while that question was being taken, another of
them, when his name was called, would asked to be
excused from voting. The Speaker decided, while
the v as and nays w ere being called, no member
could interrupt "the proceedings by a motion to be
excused from voting. An appeal was taken from
the decision of the Chair, which was sustained,
ayes 138, noes 4f, Mr Bell voting wuh Ad uns
Slade & Co. in the negative, against the decision.
But their efforts did hot prevail, and they were
brought to a vote up 01 t.".e ot'.iers of the series of
resolutions, the last of which was in these words :
"And whereas, it is extremly important and desi
rable that the agitation of this subject should be fi
nally arrested, fr tlie purpose of restoring tran
ouilitv to the mi die mind, your committee respect
fully recommend the adoption of the following addi
dhional resolution :
'-Resolved, That all petitions, memorials-, resolu
tions, propositions, or papers relating in any way,
or to any extent whatever, to the subject of shive
ry, or the abolition of slavery, shall, without being
either printed or referred, be laid upon the table,
and that no further action whatever shall be ha'd
thereon."
Mr Bell, though in the House, refused to vote, or
in other words, dodijed the vote. He would not of'i
fend his new Abolition friends by voting Fok the res
olution, and if he voted against it the people of
Tennessee woald have laid him on the sh If forever.
So, to get on good terms with both, he dodged the
vote ! He could not conceal his chagrin, however
bein"- forced to show his hand or dodge, and he was
indinan. that his Abolition friends were not al
lowed tP debute the resolutions, and, by factious
motion, stave off a vote upon them. Hear him :
"The minority of the House were tyranized over,
and they were naturally in a refractory, restless,
and perturbed condition, an 1 if they could not be
heard orderly, they would do so disorderly. Page
513.
Verily, Mr Bell is the very irudel of a law-and-
order-man ! He was willing to join the Abolition
ists to trample down the rules of the Iiouse, and set
at defiance its authority.

At the next session, the former order having ex
pired in regard to the disposal of Abolition petition
Mr. Davis moved a suspension of the rules, in rd
to adopt a rcsolufion that nil such petitions be lam
on the table, without deoafe, and without oeiu
read. Mr. Bell voted wllh Adams, Slade, & Co., in
the negative. Pag 82.
yeas were. 14o, nays 32, Mr I -! 1 '.od:ng tne vote !
.Mr Adams then presented another similar petition
and on the Speaker reiterating his decision, Air Ad
ams again appealed, and the Speaker was sustained;
yeas l?.l, i.avs 3. Mr. Bell again refused to vote.

This contest went on in this way ur.iil the nth of
February, when Mr Adams attempt-d to introduce
a petition fro:. i sl'ii i a asking for the abolition of
slavery 1 his tin e w tho House into a furor of ex
citement. Several resolutions were introduced in
reference to his cn.il'i' t : one to expel him ; anoth
er, to bring him before the b.ir of .the lions? to re
ceive the ceu ure of the Speaker ; and still another,
deelarmg that he was guiljy of a contempt, &c. A
motion was made to lay these, reoiut'uuis on the ta
ble, which was voted down, yea.-; 50, nays 141, Mr.
Bell votiog in the ai- iik-MA tive. Another motion
was made to lay the whole matter ou tin- table, which
was again nega'ived, Mr. Bell again voting in the
affiru-.a.ive.
The question lh- n jveurreJ u; on resolutions "m r
ed i y Mr. Patron a,s an amendment to the older res
olutions. The first declared against :I-.e rigid oi
fei'iug petitions from slaves. Mr Bell screwed up
his courage t vote for it. The 'oiid, for arrest

A-rain. during this same session, 'page 474,) Mr
Adams, in a .-'peech relating to the annexation of
'lexas, going o f on the rig .1 of slaves to petition
Congress forHicir freedom, and stating that he
should have no hesitancy in presenting sudi a pe
tition from a slave, was called to order by the Spea
ker. Mr Adams appealed irom the decision of the
Chair. 'The Hou.-e sustained the decision ol' tho
Chair, every man voting in the allirmative except
the Abolitionists who voted no, and Air. Bell who
did not vote at all.
At tlie next session, being th 3rd session of the
25th Congies-;, Mr Atherton brought forward his
celebrated rsoiuti-uis. concerning the power of Con
gress over the subject of slavery, The last rcsolus
li ni was in these words
"Everv petition, memorial, resolution, proposition
r paper touching or relating in any way or to;,ny

further action tuereon, be lata upon tne tabic witn

Various motions were made to stave 0.1 a voie on
these resolutions. A call of die House was moved
for the purpose of consuming tune, w lien ai: but
nine members answered to tbeir names, being a re
markably full Douse. In order to get to a vote on
the resolutions, a motion was made to dispense with
the cull, wnen Air Bell voted wiln Adams, blade
Co., in the negative, lhe call was dispensed with
however, and the House about to come to a vote,
when up sprang Mr Bell and moved to adjourn,
and this too when the House had been in session
only one hour and forty minutes. J he House re
fused to adjourn in spite of the votes of Bell, Ad
ams, Slade 6c Co lhe question then recui reu on
ordering the main question to be put, the object
of whicu was to bring the House to a vote on the
resolution. Mr Bell again voted wth Adam, siauo
and Co., in the negative. A motion to a.tjourn w as
then again m i le, in order to consume time ami de
lay a ote 0.1 the resolution. And. true to his b
