J. llj. DANIEL, ov Carolina, On the Texas Boundary mil North Deliv- ered in 'he House of Heprcsenlatiues, September 3, 1850 continued from , No.) Is such t he case with the bill under con sideration, and the kindred measures ten tiered to u as an adjustment of existing difficulties? I think not. in addition to the bill befoic us, the other measures are, the bill for the admission of California, the bill to establish territorial govern ments for New Mexico and Utah, the bill prohibiting the slave trade in this District, and the bill for recapturing fugitive slaves Altjhough I think the North ha dealt unfairly by the Suu:h in insisting upon the Wilmot Proviso, and in Ihe oppof tion made to the Clayton Compromise, in which I am sorry to say they were aided by a few Southern gentlemen; and in de feating the Walker amendment for extend ing the Constitution and Laws of the Uni ted Slate to California and the rest of the trmtory acquired from Mexico, fur fear that by doing so, and opening cmiri of justice, Southern gentlemen might be induced to emigrate thither with then slave, and although, as I believe, Exccu live influence improperly exerted, and tic serving the severest censure, conti ihutcd to bring about the existing state of things in California, whereby the. slaveho ding population h: s been excluded from it, I would waive all objection to its admission, if its limits should be contracted ?o what I deem reasonable, and a portion of the Pacific coast below 3G 30. should be IeU open to slaveholders, as Utah and New Mexico are proposed lo be, for the sake of quiet and repose to the country. But! I must be allowed to say, that after keep-! ing back the slaveholding population of ' the South until the. race has been run, and,; , as they suppose, the country acquired by emigrants from the Noith and foreign ' countries through the irregular formation j of a State government, with limits embra-; cirig the entire Pacific coast and about one ! hundred and fifty three thousand square ' ,ile.s of territory, enough for three large! States, 'designed, no doubt, to exclude ihe r 8 '111 sLN.Tit XJM M m -m 1 South from the whobvof the Mexican ternary.' In his message to Congress he says, ritory, bv. including all that portion of it j in which there is a prospect of profitable employment for slave labor, there is not much grace in tendering us the non-intct- vcnlion principle in regard to Utah and New Mexico, accompanied by a measure j for abolishing the slave trade in this Dis - Itrict, as a concession to the anti slavery sontimdnt of the" North for the partial ful- fillmcnt of a constitutional oblieahon for , the restoration of fugitive slaves, and a ' strenuous and unfaltering demand for the: admission of California - with its gigantic i'.mifa iviih tbr. nmr.nsiiinn rnnf:iinpd in Ihe bill before us,' to vote ten millions of February, 17.95, and to the act of March, dollars lo Texas as a bril e torture it as 1897 The 2d section of the act of 1795, you will, that is the object and' character provides, that whenever the laws of the of the proposition for about forty-five United States shall be opposed, or the ex thousand' square miles of her territory ; edition thereof obstructed in any State by south" of 36 30, not worth one-tenth, per-' combinations too powerful to besuppress hsps not one-twentieth, of the amount, led by the ordinary course of judicial pro Sir, the character of this arrangement cecdings. or by Jhe power vested r in the evinces no departure from that encroach- marshals by that act, which, by ' the 9lh inr policy of our Northern brethren I section of the said act, is the same as that have already imperfectly sketched to get of the sheriffs of the several States, and all they can, and hold on to all they get.

Sir, ifl did not reflect that it is the nature of concessions to beget other and increasing demands, and that the pro posed arrangement may be the result of the many concessions on the part of the South by those. who have gone before us, I should regard it as mere mockery. Entertaining these general views and regarding the bill under our immediate consideration as containing in substance the profligate and brazen proposition to I bribe one of the sovereign Stales of the Confed eracy to dismember herself as a concession to Free-soilism, with nq cor respondent equivalent to the South gener ally, I do not hesitate to declare that I would sooner vote the $ 10,000.000 to de fend Texas, than I would as an -induce- j menl for her to dismemberhersclf. I know, sir, that what I regard as the erroneous, and illegal, and unconstitution al position taken by our Free-soil Execu tive and his advisers, to array the military force of the country to - prohibit Texas from exercising jurisdiction within her rightful limit, renders thi bill peculiarly impoitant. But with ail the increased importance thus attached to it, I will ven ture to do my duty, 'result what may from the id-judged position of the Executive. It is not too late f.r him to retrace his steps, and it is better and more becoming; limits defined by her Legislature in Dc that he should do so, than that I should cember, 1836, would be a violation of our depart from the course which my sense of duly requires me to pursue lie must take the consequences of his own act; I of t a mine.

Sir, the conduct of the President in this: matter seems to me to be most.extraordin- by the Constit ution of the United States the President is Constituted Commander- j in-Chief of the Army and Navy, and ofj 1 hese historical events were cnougn the militia of the several States, when surely, to give notice to all the worldat called inlo actual service of the United j any rate, lo the United Stales and other States, and required to see that the laws 'powers that acknowledged her indepen- be executed.

If the President was right in supposing, the disputed terri tory does not belong to Texas, he i nev ertheless guilty of a palpable error in sup posing that to extend the jurisdiction of Texas over tliG territory, according to the treaty with Mexico. It would not de prive them of their liberty, property, or the enjoyment of their religion, but be ad- uniting them to the lull enjoyment of all the rights of citizens of the United Slates,, the part of Texas, the Rio Grande was the boundary. In the treaty made withUne army, and to encourage enlistments' Santa Anna anil hilisola and others, alteri the haltle" of San Jacinto, the Rio Grande was in the cleanest and most Unequivocal! manner, made the - boundary of Texas,! which treaty though not ratified in due form by Mexico, enured to her benefit, ; an(l the moral sentiment of every civiliz- pl1 a,,tl honorable community must regai d j her as morally bound by it.

"First : said State to be formed subject tb the adjustment by this Government of all questions of boundary that may arise with other governments." President Polk, looking at this connect ed chain in support of the claim of Texas, and the resolutions of annexation, did not hesitate lo express, the opinion that the territory in question belonged to Texas, though it was a matter for the derision of Congress "Yet our present Free-soil Ex ecutive; disregarding the rule which pre vails in the Executive Depratment,- of pay ing. at least "some respect to the acts a n d ppi n tons o f predecessors disregard i n g .4 the salutary example, set by .Mr. Jeffer son, in procuring a specific act for taking military possession ot Lousiana; disregar ding that ofOeneral Jackson," in procur ing authority from' Congress for the erii-! pioyment of military force in enforcing the collection of the revenue when South Carolina was about to interpose her. au thority within her own limits,, from ail -apprehension that the acts of .1795 and 1S07 were insufficient; instead of laying the whole, matter before Congress, anil awaiting its action and dec.sion; as it was his duty to have done under the circum- -stances, he' hastens, rashly and inconsid erately, a I conceive, to decide the matter against Texas, and to take steps to array military force of the. country to prevent Texas, one of the sovereign States, from exercising jurisdiction witiin her limits, to the imminent hazard of the peace-of the country and the existence of the Uni on.
