In offt-rine ft-is resolution, Mr. Wjt-
liarhstook occasion to 'refer, to the reports
in irncral circiaition, on which his mo
tion was-founded. and p:rticularly-to cue
case reported: as;'ihe most a-ggi-avated.-
The report ;.f it,, he said, , was t& this ef
fect.' Col. King, ho was lett by general
Jackson y command of Pehsacola, issued
an order, that it acy s'niaier deserted, and
was overtaken or apprehended, he should
lie put tn ii-tant df ath. . One s ddier, who
had 'deserit'U wai overtakenraed so put
to -death T When apprehended, hp ex
claimed, th:, as an;Am6rican citizen, he
was entitled to a. tvi.. according to the
laws ortiis c Yintry, claimpd his rights
as such. Butv with crueliv aixl precipi
tance,, his' rf Iuei Nyas refused, and he
was put to instant 'death, Coffgress, Mr.
V, sid; sat Iiere .: guardians, of tlie
people. But it'-vas the weak, more than i
the strong, whose rights, were the pvcu
liar care of , thisi House. c If the'Tacts he
had stated on tle authority, of. -qommon'

ought to await lc 'panders. Are, the
rights of an office r invaded, saul he,, the
alarm Js sounded from one, end of. t,he

no one be found' to stand up for hir.i j1
Mr. W. hoped,'he said, that tV.ere would
be a throuirh examination Tnto the" case.
ihaf. if the officer in "cuestion had-Acted'
reported,he might be exemplanly punish-,
ed ; and.-if the report was not tine, it was
due to CoL King that tlie statement should
! be disproved. . . , "
After some debate, the resolution was
agreed to. ' , :
Mr. Taylor, of T. Y. said he rose to in
vite the attention of the house tb a subject
of very great moment. The question of
blaveiy i the tei titwries of the United
State? west of the Mississippi, it was. vell
known, a id at the last session of the Con
gress excited feelings, both in the House,
and "out of it, the recurrence of which he
sincerely deprecated. All who love our
country, and consider the uniorr of these
States -.as. the ark ot its sajetyvpiust ever
view with deep -regret sectional interests
agitating our national councils. Mr. 'i
said he could not hinfef If, nor would he
asfc others, to umke a'saenhee ot firinci

he excluded consistently rwith the consti

to be forgotten that the American family
is .composed of many members if their

strong, they must be treajted withfoibear
ance. '.He did not know whether concilia!
tian .vrere practicable, but he consideret
its attainment worthy of air effort. He
was desirous that the question should be
