tha mod. - TaeL speeches I will not particularize.
They hare unfortunately gone forth to the coun

that they there may hare samples of, bow North-

those of the South to ba read in tha North, that
they may kaow how they ara scorned and detest

The designs and purposes of both sides, it is to
be feared, are w same to arouse, anil ana pre

bappy, with bright prospects for tha future, and
wbebr their united energies, ia advancing the
Industrial and literary Interests of the wnoJe coun

and prosperity of us all.
. Without intending to ba oflenart or personal,
1 must be permitted to say, I eary n.-t tha man
wao can look oo our country as it is, and with
composure anticipate its condition, wbea seerrei
nd drmidfU. The m&a who c&n contemplate that

question as to how, when, or in what manner,
forty thousand people ONLY in Kaaiav shall
el tie for Item selves their own domestic afiaira

Mr. Chairman, it is not to ba disguised, that
our soutaern people are aaitoua aooul appear
ances for the future. They see tha free States ia
number and representation, already in the major
ity in both Ilouses of Congress, and this majority
soon to be largely increased ; that while tha South
falls into this minority, they have witnessed, for
tha but lew years, among many people of the free
btetae, an increasing spirit of bitter hostility to
tha South and her institutions. But let us like
statesmen be calm, briefly traw the history of this
taing. ana inquire way .it is. T&ougn lr tne
census, tae actual ngurea snow toat ue natural
increase of population in the slave States has been
equal to the natural cadre increase of the free
States, yt the free Slates have excelled us in the
vbvuu m n 1 1HH id luu ruifl Hp BOW
states.
la tha first place we of the Southern State
have been, and now are, the advocates of free-
trade, and many ar direct terns Wa have od-
pceed the policy of discrimination In favor of our
own domestic Industry in the old States, ia regu
lating and raising revenue, and no more than
enough to defray the expenee of the government
vcouoaiicBaiy aiouiuiwraa.
To this policy we have made ia substance, sue
eessful opposition thtrtby ia a good degree cut
tlrr off1 much of the inducement, that would have
retained tie Industrious and energetio population
in- the old Sutra, who, in consequence, nave mov
ed to the Territorks, there settled, made new and
tree States, and became producers instead of con
sumers or tne earta a productions.
- I a the second place, a majority of Southern
politicians have uniformly favored the policy of
lUYiung. ajiunnj;, prrwaoing, ana in fact hiring
ra!grants not only the ciuzena of the States,
but of tha whole world, to move and settle in our
Territories. Homesteads, by way of pre-emptions,
ia the Territories, are offered to all the
world. Tha language of tha whole policy is in
substance, eomeyeall the earth, and settle in
our Territories here you can become citizens,
aad without waiting to be naturalized, according
to law of the Union, you ean vote aad hold office.-"
the reult of which has bean to run from
the old States, (slave aad free) into tha territories,
much of their population, and particularly that
portion, though young, industrious, and worth r,
who have, or tale but little interest in the insti
tutions of the South, and beaidce, wa find grow
ag out of this, that hundreds of thousands of
foreigners are flocking to us every rear that for
eign paupers ara by thousands and" thousands be

official statements, that the t amber of foreign

These aurzestlons I have made to Southern
gentlemen here, and throughout the slave States,
that on reflection they may determine whether
they have not been remiss in failing to come to
the aid of a cause quite material to Southern in
fluence and Southern interests.
I waa verv xnuch entertained. Mr. Chairman,
by the speech, of the gentleman from Louisiana
Mr. bandidg and, u i naa time, i snouia use
to inccporata at least half of it in mine, to show,
in addition to the millions that have already come,
how masv more millions Of paupers, are to come,
sader our present system of inviting thtsa to come
nre. . .
Bat. If r. Chairoan, what is it that we Lave
been discussing here for the last ninety davs ?
Ttj discuMioa has teen eit&er intentionally or
accidentally conductod s as to bring out the ex
treme sectional viosrs of gentlemen from the Sooth
snd from the North. It is only within the last
eight or ten davs that any conservative man has
. . a . a tv t: : a
been permiued to aaaressme iiouseon mieaiiiu
ed Question. - It is said that this is a question
whether any more slave States shall come into
this Union, and speech after stieech is made and
sent to the South to tell the Southern peorle
that we are solemly debating in the House of
Representatives the nakedVquestoo whether. any
more slave States shall come into the L nion.
Why. Mr. Chairman, if that were true, if that
were the onlr ouestion here, it might have been
settled within twenty-four hours after this dobate
commenced. If that were tne only question, a
take it that all our American friends would vote
for it, every man from the South would vote for
it. I know that our Douglas Democrats would
vote for it and I am inclined to think that the
Free Soil wing of the Democracy these Buflalo-
platform men could be got to vote lor it,
with a Green amendment That ia my opinion.
But. Mr. Chan man, is that the question 7 On
what has this debate arisen ? On the special mes
sage of the President- Does he say that whether
there snail be any more slave btates is tne ques
tion t No sir ; that message, as 1 understand it,
means these two things and it means nothing
more and nothing less to the South, u come in
Lecompton, and to Northern gentlemen, " it is
the surest aad readiest wsy, and the only certain
way, in which you can confiscate Southern pro
perty and got clear of negroes in Kansas."-1 Jiave
listened to gentlemen here proteasing great regard
for the interests of the South, and whilst of all
them hare been eloquent on the first part of the
picture, they have all, save and except a genue
maa from the -chivalrous State of South Carolina,
passed over that portion as tenderly as sucking
doves. Laughter. I will read from the Presi
dent! massage, ia order that there may be no mia-
Uae aeout: .
As a question of expediency, after the right
has been maintained, it mar be wise to reflect
upon the benefits to Kansas and the whole coun
try which would result from fls immediate ad
m us ion into the Union, as wall as the disasters
khich may follow ita rejection. Domestic peace
wi'l be the hanpy consequence of its admission:
and that fine Territory, which has hitherto been
v ra by diasensiona, will rapidly increase ia popu
lation and wealth, and aneedilv realize the bleas-
ir.p and the comforts which follow in tha train of
srri cultural and macliaaical industry. Tne peo
ple will then be sovereign, aad can regulate their
own affairs in their own war. If a majority of
them desire to abolish domestic, Is verv witnin tne
State, there is no other possible mode by wnich
this caa be effected so speedily as by prompt ad
mission. The will of the msjority is supreme and
irresistible when expressed in an orderly and law
ful manner. They can make and unmake con
stitutions at pleasure. It would be absurd to .say
that thev can impose fetters upon their own
power which they cannot afterwards remove. If
they could do this, they might tie their own hands
for a hundred as well as for ten years. These are
fundamental principles of American freedom, and
are recognised, I believe, in some form or other,
by every State constitution : and if Congress, in
the act of admission, should think proper to re
cognize them, I can perceive no objection tr such
a course. This has been done emphatically in the
Constitution of Kansas. It declares in the bill of
rights that 'all political power isinherenfin the
people, and all tree governments are founded on
their authority, and instituted tor their benefit
and therefore they have at all times an inaliena
ble and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or
abolish their form of government in such manner
as thev may think proper.' The great State of
New York is at this moment governed under a
constitution framed and established in direct op
position to the tn ode prescribed by the previous
constitution, u tnerioie, tne provision chang
ing the Kansas consititution after the year 18C4,
could by possibility bo construed into a proniw
tion to make a chance nrevioua to that neriod.
this prohibition would be wholly unavailing. The

with having udd some foolish things in a speech
whwh he bad made, and told him that I thought
he had hurt our cause, he" said : "Ah, Gilmer,
you do not know the folks as well as 1 do. A
great many people are like a net of young birds
if you tap the side of the tree, they'll open their
mouths, and swallow the' worm down.". Laugh
ter. Southern men supposed that, we had got
something by the Drod Soott decision. I, for one, as
a Southern man, thought we had obtained some
thing ; I thought tha we had got upon, safe
ground; that we had perfect equality in the Ter
ritories ; that we could go there with our institu
tions and our property, and be just at safe there
as the men who go there from any other section
with any other species of property. But if this
is the meaning, if this is lhe result of the Dred
Scott decision, then those of us who go into the
Territory with our rlave property, .have to run
two chances first that the people m.y exclude us
when they come to form their constitution, and if
they do not run us out at first, then whenever the
majority of '.he people desire it, they may run us
and our negroes out And this is the doctrine
upon which the South is to stand this is the
doctrine, mark you, which Alabama and other
States are to go out of the Union on,' if they .can
not get It is not from any objection to the con
stitution of Kansas, that I, as a Southern roanA op
pose her admission. I would- be pleased that we
cculd fairly and properly get slavery, permanently
in Kansas. But I object to this doctrine, that we
can be protected in our property while in partner
ship, during'the Territorial tate, but the moment
ir hMvtmeen incorporation a State crery man
that owns joint stock is instantly liable by con
stitutional provision to have his property con
fiscated. -And this is the doctrine which we have
been told here, month after month, and day after
tr that ererr Southern man must stand upon,
sStherwise he is an Abolitionist and opposed to the
interests of the South!
Mr. Chairman, what is the question whicn Has
agitated the country for the last four, years ? It
is one that has taken np the entire attention of
Congress. We have been figuring about it un
til, I believe, not only the whole country but the
Government itself is upon the verge of bank
ruptcy. This question commenced with two
faces one for the Free-Soil Democrats of the
North, and one for the South ; and the same Iden
tical double face is in this bill, and I will detain
the Committee only for a moment, while I refer
them to some history of it Wehad our troubles
. f .t : r
some years ago, growing out oi me jisc-uabim o
the compromise measures, in uanuary, isoi,
the venerable fathers of the land, Whigs and
Democrats, gathered together, with Henry Clay
at their head, and drew up a pledge to the coun
try that from and after that day their influence
would be be exerted against every man for office.
State or Federal, who would refuse to stand upon
the platform of the adjustment measures of 1850.
The people rallied to that standard. The Demo
cratic convention met in Baltimore, in 1852 ; be
hig convention met at the same place, and they
both bowed down at the same alter of peace upon
this aeitatine Question. They re-affirmed in
substance what Mr. JTillmore said in December,
1851. that this compromise of 1830 should be a
finality, and there should be no more agitation of
the slavery Question in or out of Congress. To
that both of the great leading parties were pledg
ed to the country. They put their candidates
onon that platform. - General Pierce was elected.
Ue was installed. Unfortunately, however, he
in a short time made injudicious appointments ;
he turned out the true Democrats of the North,
men who I am proud to find standing in the same
ranks they did then. Van Buren, Dix, Cochrane
& Co., the Buffalo platform men, were then com
inir in. and tile nartv was about to break up.
Something had to be done. The Administration
was going down. A prescription bad to be made.
It was given and on the principle that you pre
scribe to one choked with a turnip, get him to
swallow a pumpkin, and it would relieve him.
Laugtar.J They went upon this Cincinnati plat
orm. I am not going to detain the Committee to
show how our friends viewed it in the South. That
is well known. I desire to show how the tnattre
stands with the Admistration, to show what the
Democratic Free-Soilers said before, afterwards,
and all the time. A few months before the Cin
cinnati convention met, a distinguished Free
Soilers wrote to th-t North. Mr. Hubbard, Mr.
Woodbury, and all these noisy men of the Buffa
lo convention, began to give evidence that they
anted to return to tneir friends. Mere is one ;
I give it as a fair epecimen of their letters and
speeches. It b the letter of Hon. C. C. Cambre-
ling:
"UmrTCcQTox, itoeember 8, 1855.

In fact this'whole management and shuffling re
minds rae .of . what occurred it one of our North
Carolina towns some years ago: A."4lly-fi-llow
declared himself a condidate for town constable.
The boys hud a circular, printed for him. It
wa printed on both sides like this with Lecomp
um on one side, and GRKH upon the other.1 On
one side, he - addressed hi mself to 1 the debtors :
'Folio w -citizens, rote for me, and if I am elect
1. constable, I will never force you to payment,
oven at any extremity." On the other side was
an address to the creditors : "If you will come
up and vote for me, end I shall be elected, I prom
ise, upon my honor, I', will have" your money
paid, in every instance, at the drop of a hat." - "
Mr. Chairman, I ara not disposed to detain
this CommitrOT with a review of tho decision of
toe Supreme Court in -tho Dred Scott case. All
I have to say is this r tha$ my ; views upon the
constitutionality of -the1' Missouri compromise
were known long before that dicision was made;
and Ilhought that the- conijjrppii was " not in
accordance with the spirit Ceste Constitutions
Although my opinion inclines to that of-tbe Su
preme' Court, and djd before the de?iskn whs
made, yet, from the length of time it had been a
compromise, I was disposed to look upon it a a
compromise which had better be abided by.f As
to the casoof two neighbors whose .boundary line
is in dispute-- boundary which can only be
settled by the provisions! of a deed, arid no agree
ment they might make, by, parol would change
the line fixed by the deed any ..more than any
agreement between two. sections, of the country
by Congress, could be. changed.- But when the
neighbors hare established a. line by parol agree
ment,, staked" and chopped it off, and' have lived
in peace, harmony, an. prosperity undsr it for
more than thirty years, if they should come to
me and ask mv advice, whether , they should
break up this old- landmark now the true ". line
being leertained by' the iced and, go back to

man, as a neighor, and-a a Christian,- alio, that
they had bettei let the old landmarks Stand and
abide by them ; and bymo means revive'old dis
putes and quarrels.. So with' the case' of this Mis
souri compromise. I do not believe the South ia
going, to gain anythinghy its repeal, and I firmly
believe that the only reward the South will ever
get from its repeal will b to her injury, and any
thing but an advantage to her true interests.
. Bu- it is said that the only wav to pacify the
country is to admit no amendments to this bill
t a", it cannot be bettered ; that in no way. cau it
be improved ; that it has got to be passed in the
-ihape in which it is presented, even though
proposition should be presented, which, if carried
o it would more effectually pacify and quiet the
ountry and settle the whole ' question. Why
say they, it would be intervention. Now, let me
deUin the Committee a moment to show how ridicu
lous that idea is. What is this thing of non-inter
vention ? Whv, is it intervention to leave the
people of a Territory perfectly free and untram
rneled to settle this, wit Ii all other questions, in
their own way, fairly and properly, subject only
to the Constitution of the. United States?.
Now, sir, djs we consider it any intervention,'
in the case of a trial bv jury, after the verdict is
announced, to set the same aside, and grant a new
trial upon amdavits which clearly prove and sat
isfy the judge that the verdict was" obtained by
fraud, by perjury, by deception, or by any mal
practices? Is it 'any intervention for an honeet

There would not nave been bail tne trouble
about Kansas, but for Atchison's struggle to get
back into the Senate. As the question now stands,

tory belonging to the United States and all we

the facts by reiiablo affidavits, to say bat he
doubted whether the verdict had been fairly ob

is vested in him, decide to grant' a new trial, in
order that jwatice might be done ? '. Is that an in
terference with the right of trial bv- jury? And
suppose a fury is empanelled to settle the dues
tion, and they come back to tho judge, and one of
the jury goU up and says the verdict is so and so,
and the judge tells them, "gentlemen you had
better retire, got together again and consult, and
aree upon your verdict11, and, wh,enyou come iD,
it will be recorded" is that any interference? I
wanted to show how ridiculous this idea is. Is
that intervention ? -What are Green's and Pugh's
amendments? Let our Northern antl-sla-very
men, or an paraes, understand that tne .Pres
ident of the United States has given a true con
struction to the Dred Scott decision, and you will
never have any more fuss about this matter' from
them. The President says it means that when

will all slope! - That fa giving the Abolitionists a
new cue, and one which wi 11 run out the institu
tion of my beloved section from, all the Territo
ries, certainly, and endanger it in many of the
States.
Mr.' Chairman, I desire to look upon this ques
tion without reference to any section, or J how it
will effect any body other than the general good
and peace of the whole country. If no other plan
can be devised and agreed on, I may feel rnvself
constrained to vote for. the measure, being urged
by Southern friends and sectional pressure. 4 And
if I do, the Green amendment stricken out, it will
not be (and I say it here,) a measure which my
sound judgement can approve as the better plan.
If I could, I would put the whole responsibility
upon the DamcCraCy, where it belongs, for I do
believe if they would relax a little, and honestly
set their heads to work with our S utberh friends
and other conservative' men in this House; this
whole matters might be put upon a footing entire
sly satisfactory to the South totherEast to the
West to the NOTth-raf isfrctory to the people of
Jiansas end witnout 'any compromise of any
principle substantially in the-manner indicated
by me heretofore.
I must say that when I hear it Verted here,
ana every wnere, ana tn proois strongly tending
to snow ma tne government oi .Kansas was, in
the first instance, ruth teasly " snatched from the
people, unconstitutional test- Oaths applied, by
which the minority, wno by fraud obtained the
Republican?, and may get them out of court A lt
may very well apply . to. our , Uemocrat c aoutn
ern friends, and turn themoutof court But what
Mre they going to do with the poor American?--We
av that the' Republicans were mistaken, and
that thjit was only a movement of intemperate zeal.
We want to know what tho tacts are. ; j. venture
to say that there are not four individuals thereto
every single voter; Theexperlence of this country
shows that in a territory where there are but few
females and few-old or -very young persons, the
voters are in the" ratio of not niore than one to
every three or four. Well, now, take - the ten
thousand voters and multiply that figure by three
you have but thirty thousand of population there.
Multiply it by four, and you,have but forty thou
sand. ' Multiply it by five, and you have but fifty
thousand, 'jjultiply if by six what we all know
is far beyond khe ratio-f arid you have "only got
Mxty thousand. ; - And yet here are Southern gen
tlemjpn men; who want to protect the equality of
Southern representation in Congress coming for
ward here in jhot haste and . uenoundng as an
Abolitionist every man ,who will not consent to
allow the - thirty- thousand or forty - thousand
quarrelling 'people - of Kansas; to come in as a
State, and! to send here '.two Jim Lanes and
somebody else like them, to vote in the Congress
of the Unittd States j and. that . all for Southern
intreti ' - ." ;' ! "'.v 'V-v:;?

the fact that olir "Southern- friends; having the
coptrol of the; SpeciaV Committee, declined to in

not so. . : , .'.?.-.- " j I -'"'' v v ; .V.
But, Mr. Chairman, permit me to say, in con
clusion, that we" are not left in the dark, and with
out precedents as to the proper course to bapursued
in i a difficulty of this kind: ' Kerttuckj'V after
several attempts, was admitted into the Union and
allowed to frame ivr constitution- subsequently,
in her own. Way. So I believe now, that Kan
sas should bellowed to',comef into the Union,
tad that she should be allowed to settle this
quoftion and'lrame a constitution for . herself.
Do this, and Kansas will be satisfied the House

j- THE RESURRECTION OP CHRIST.
The following beautiful and descriptive extract
is taken from sermons published under the title
cf the "The Scotch Preacher." . .
"Twice had the sun gone down upon the earth
and all as yet, was quiet at the sepulchre ; death
held his sceptre over the Son of God ; still and
silent the hours paased ; the guards stood by their
posts : the rays of the midnight moon gleamed
upon their helmets and upon their spears ; the
r - f t ti . tj. j . l il. .
enemies oi vnrisi exuiitxi in me success; iu
hearts of his friends were sunk in despondency
and in 6orrow; the spirits of glory awaited in
anxious suspense to behold the event, and won
dered at the depth of the wavs of God. At length
the morning star arising in the East announced
the approach , of light. The third day . began to
dawn upon tho world, when suddenly the earth
trembled to its centre and the powers of heaven
were shaken..; An angel of God descended ; the
guards shrunk back from the terror of his pre
sence and fell prostrate on the ground ; his coun
tenance was like lightning, and his raiment was
as white as snow. He rolled away the stone
from the sepulchre and sat upon it. But who is
this that coraeth forth from the tomb with 4yed
garments from the bed of death ! He that is
glorious in his appearance walking in the great
ness of his strength. It is your Lord. He hath
trodden the wine press alone he hath stained his
raiment with blood, but now as the first born
from the womb of nature, be meets the morning
of resurrection. He arises a conquerer from the
grave ; he. brings salvation to the sons of men.
Never did the, returning sun usher in a day so
glorious. It was the jubilee of the universe.
1 he morning stars tang together and all the sons
of Grod shouted aloud. for joy. The father of
mercies looked down from his throne in. heaven
with complacency ; he saw his world restored ; he
saw his work that it was good. Then did the
desert- rejoice the face of nature was gladdened
before him when tho blessings of the eternal de
scended as the dew of heaven for the refreshings
of the nations," . .

as it might have led to the introduction of many
slave States : but after the South ha.1 ha earn.
jnemy cnecumaiea oy jaujorma $ declaration in
exists in Kansas by virtue of the Constitution of favor of freedom, ice had no reason to object to the
aoartne of nonintervention, or squatter sover
eignty. We have now, besides Kansas and Ne
braska, .New Mexico, Utah, Minnesota, Oreeon
and Washington, making seven Territories, which
will give us seven free States. Soma think the
fateef Kansas doubtful, but the invasion of the
Missouri rowdies, independent of natural causes,
will make it a free State. Those borderers came
over first to! vote for pro-slavery men the sec
ond time to (vote against them in the location of
the Capital-Lend the third time to make a blus
ter under Shannon, plunder the people, and drink
whisky.
"Under such circumstances I cannot' conceive
what we can possibly eain by resiatine a nrinciole
which has hitherto excluded slavery from our Ter
ritories.
ttTbe slaveholders' will not cet Kansas." and
they are now deprived of the pretext f going
the United Slates. Kansaa is therefore, at this mo
ment, as mucn a sure btate as Uorgia or South
Carolina. Without this, the equality of the
so rem en States composing the Union would be
violated, and the use and enjoyment of a Ter
ritory acquired by the common treasure of all the
mates, would be closed against the people and the
property of nearly half the members of the confederacy."
And then be concludea with this verv cheer.

Slavery can, therefore, never be nrohibitM in
Kansas, except by means of a constitutional pro
vision , and in no other manner can this be obtain

as by admitting it into the Union under its nre-
aent constitution."

ing the constitution framed, thus, i dissent from
the idea that a majority of the counties- of any

the minority of counties who did not have a chance

you more judges tnan one ? , It is not simply for
the sake of numbers, but that there may be con
ference, argument, interchange of c views. We
may be, to-day all inclinod one way, and to-morrow
a greater and better mind than any of us, rep
resenting but one district, may make a suggestion
sufficient to change the opinion of .the whole
Congress. We know that the election of the 4th
of January was recognized by . the Secretary of
State, who gave instructions that that very elec
tion should be fairly held, and the votes fairly
impartially taken ; that vote turns out to be over
ten thousand against the constitution. We are
told, too, and assured, that the Legislature of the
Territory, representing the will of the people, are
unanimously protesting against this thing; and we
are also told tnat the whole constitution rests on
fraud, deception, and violence. And, permit mo
to say, further, as a Southern man, that when ,1
see my Southern friends on the Special Committee
declining to obey the instructions of the House,
and shrinking from inquiry, it leaves the suspicion
