Feople, also, on the score of humanity, never received any copeurrence from me, and never will. Well, sir, this was the state of things on the formation of the government.

I say that the slavcholding es have when they agreed to take five new slave States into the Union, giving ten Sevators and a large num- ber of Representatives. Mr. President, whatis the re- sult of this? We stand here now, at least I do for one, to ray, that considering there have been already five new slaveholding States formed out of new acquired territory. and one only, at most, of non slaveholding States, Ido not fee! 1am called upon to go further. But here our friends from the slaveholding States say, | ‘ou deny us our rights—you deny us all fortification. tus see how this is. Let us consider how it stands —what is it? Gentlemen who advocate and espouse the cuuse, arsert that we invade the rights of the South—-that we invade their rights to the territory which they haye common rights in. How do we de- prive them of their rights? “Why, they,tay we deprive em of the privilege of moving their slaves with them into n@w territories. ‘They say we deprive them of the privilege of going into this territory with their pro- perty. What do they mean by that? We certainly donot prevent them from going into the territory with all property which civilized people want. They want to bring in what they call property, by their pe- culiar local laws. 1am not going to enter into a dis- cussion abcut those local laws, for that would excite the Senator from South Carolina, and we should “ Wander in mazes lost” from this till long after the period fixed for the end of the session, (Laughter.) Weil, they complain we do not recognise property. fixed by their own local laws. How just that is, I leave to the generations that wili come after us. Jtis not contended that Slavery exists by general Jaw—it exists by local law, and wherever that does not exist, property in persons does not exist. ‘Well. what is the proposition of our friends from the South? Why, that Congress, say they, does us an in- justice, unless it will consent to establish a lceal law con istent with ours. I deny the right to claim this, unless it can be proved that pe2sons owning property under their local law can enter into other States and estoblirh their peculiar local law to the exclusion of the Iccal laws of the State they move into, I don’t deny that a local law can be made—but I say it is a qatier to Le proved, and, therefore. if a person go upon any portion cf the earth, the presumption is he is free. ‘They must be proved to be slaves. Sach was the old Roman law, and such is the present law. Observe, sir, our jurisdictign over the territory ceases ¥hen the’ territory becomes a State; but the argument is that we create the ‘inequality. ‘Well, is there notbing to be said on the other side? It isa settled idea, that slave labor and free labor do not go well together. | have before me a statement wade by Mr. Mueon, of Virginia,in which he states the fact | that élaves will not work with free people. This may not be usual, but it is so stated in the work I have quoted. And now, sir, what is the inequality? Let us look at it a little, ern gentlemen may not go into territory which shall be rubject to the ordinance of °87; the only objection is, that they shall not carry their iocal slave laws with them. This does not exclué@them; there is nothing further from the fact. I understand that the half of the population of Illinois are descendants of Southern people, and at least one-third of Ohio is settled by peo- ple of a similar origin, in as legal relation. Well, the question, then, is, whether it is not fair matter for discussion, to say as there has been five slave States added to the Union, whether it is unfuir to limit its extension? I see no injustice in it. Mr President, [have said that 1 will consent to no extension of slavery on this continent, and these are my reasons for fer it. We have already gone far be- yond what any Southern manhada right to expect. I speak of facts, that in yielding the crcation of fiv new slaveholding States, out of new territory quired, we have done what I believe never would have ‘been done by the framers of the constitation. 1 wili | say, in conclusion, that I rest on these positions, First, when the constitution was adopted nobody looked to | any new accession of territory to be formed into slave States. Second, that the principle of the constitution cipecore and was intended to prehibit, and should construed to prohibit all extension of slavery by the general government: fact of these new acquisiti One is, that | Well, now, sir, what ; By foreign acquisition, Well, sir, I lexve these | ts.

Mr. H, Jouxson—I do not mean the Senator from Vermont, He bas not apostatized. Mr. Jonnsow said the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Corwin) had denounced the war as plunder, land conspiracy, | murder, and robbery; and yet those who thus denounce the war, are willing and demand to seize the whole of | “the .? He regretted the course of Mr. Bell and of Mr. Houston, Senators from the South, as going over to the enemy, and largely directed his remarks to their consideration; but as the object of Mr. Johnson, of oy red to be the consumption of time, we desist from the attempt to follow him through. Talk, said he, about the magnanimity of the North! Let us yield this principle,and our voices hereafter culling upon thelr magnanimity, will be as impotent as the wailings of an infant in the throat of a volcano. Finally, Mr. Johnson raid that he who would violate the constitu- ‘on, was a traitor, and deserved a traitor’s doom. Mr. Foorr rose, but gave way to Mr. Revenpy Jonson, of Maryland, who proceeded to argue the Southern side of the question. in oppo- sition to the argu ster, and of Mr. Rouston who spoke to. of receding from the amendment of the Senate, and of. ting the naked Wilmot proviso, in the bili as passed by the House. He deprecated the spirit which sought to push this Wilmot proviso through, regardless of the feelings and rights of the South. and could not vote to recede from the Senate amendment, unless the 14th section, embodying the Wilmot proviso principle, shall be expunged from the bil! Mr. Houston rore next (quarter to 11 P.M), and, in anewer to the argument of Mr. Johnson. of Ga, who had pleaded that the Senator from Texas was abandon- ing the South on this great «uestion, Mr. Houston reiterated his arguments of this morning, on the po aitione therein defined; detailing the br ed grounds of concersion and con! ze in the North, and in the Union, which would this bill, even if the naked W resented as the only alternative of a nt hl man the course of his rew ry.

I am ready, then, sir. to proceed to the vote upon the bili. Mr, Arcuison, in a few words, would explain his posi- tion on this bill. He gave a resumé of the bill of the cclect committee, and of the Senate compromise and the action thereon, and of the exclusion of the South, to which he was opposed. In 1843, he had introduced an Oregon bill with the proviso in it; but sinee then, the acquisitions of the Mexican war had put a different face upon the question, and the procecdings of the Buffalo Convention strengthened the idea, that to cx- clude slavery from Oregon would be but ‘a precedent to the exclusion of the South from all the territories. He was compelled, therefore, to vote against receding from the amendment of the Senate. Mr. Dickrxson had but a word to say. He had been anxious to give governments to all the territories.

In. the for session, Dr. Faiss presented a me- moriai from Col. Medill, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. charging the Hon Mr. Clingman with conduct “wanton, bare, and calumnions.” in saying that the Indian Bureau was corrupt, and making improper re- flections upon his official character. It will be recol- lected that, after the unbettling of “fiery indigna- tion,” to “consume the adversary” for daring thus to offend the dignity of the Houre, the communication was withdrawn. ‘This afternoon, Mr. Fures asked leave to offer a resolution, providing for a committee of three to investigate fully the course by Col. Medill,in the discharge of his official duties, and to inquire into the truth of the charge of the Hon. T. L. Clingman; and that the committee have power to cxamine witnesses, and toreport the result of their investigation at the next session. Objection was made, and Mr. Fairs moved to sus- pend the rules prescribing the order of business, P Mr Coxcer—I move to lay the resolution upon the ‘able. ‘The Sreaxen—It is not yet received. Mr. Burt—I desire to make an inquiry of the chair, to vote intelligently. Can the committee propose to sit. during the recess? The Sreaxen—They cannot, without special leave. Mr. Buxt—I have no objection, Mr. C. J, Inaxnsori—They can sit to-morrow (Sun- day ) The rules were suspended, and the question was sta- ted on the adoption of the resolution, when Mr. Concer moved to lay the resolution upon the table ; but the motion did not prevail. Mr. Frixs moved the previous question; ami the House acquiesced. Mr. C. J. Incensouru—Is it customary or tary to name the number of the committee The Srraxen—The question generally is on appoint- ing a committee, and of filling the blank afterwards. Mr. Frixs—At the suggestion of the gentleman from gon necticut, I move that the committee consist of Vuctaes. ive. The resolution, thus modified, was passed. ILLINOIS RAILROAD. Before the House took a recess to-day, they rejected the bill granting to the State of Illinois the right of way and a donation of public land for making a rail- road connecting the Upper and Lower Mississippi with the chain of northern lakes at Chicago. Mr. McLean had moved to reconsider the vote, for the purpose of piecing. amamendment; and now that gentleman and several others made some observations; when the question was taken, and, by a vote of 78 to 64, the question to lay the motion on the table was decided in the negative. MEXICAN CLAIMS. Senate bills were taken up ; among them, that of an act to carry into effect certain treaty stipulations with Mexjeo.

Mr. Samiti, of Connecticut, moved to refer the bill to the Committee of Foreign Affairs. Mr. C. J. Incexsou. said something, which the hum of voices monopolized. Mr. SmitH—Does the bill contain an appropriation? ‘The Sreaxen—It does, and should be referred to the Committe of the Whole on the State of the Union.

The Srraxen—Debate is not in order on the merits of the bill, Mr. Smitn—I move that it be referred to the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. C. J. Ince nsovs.—Is it in order to move that the bill be referred to the Committee of the Whole ? The Srraxer—The question is on the suspension of the rules, (which require that all bills making appro- priations of money, shall be referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union ) Mr. Dicxey—I move that the bill be laid on the table, and ask for the yeas and nays. (Oh! no! “No! “No!”| I make that motion. [\ Oh, withdraw it!”’] ‘The Srraxen requested gentiemen in favor of the motion to rise. They did so, and while standing, Mr. C.J. Ivcensout, amid the confusion, sung out to his colleague, derisively—“ That's manly—that’s manly, sir.” The House refueed to lay the bill upon the table. Mr. Nicot repeated his motion to suspend the rule which requires moncy bills to go to the Committee of the Whole ; but it was not agreed to. Tho Srraxer.—The chair understands the gentle- man from Pennsylvania (Mr. C. J. Ingersoll) to move that the bill be referred tothe Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, there to be considered. ‘This motion was disagreed to, Mr. Dickewmoved to refer the bill to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Tellers were ordered, and as gentlemen began to pass between them, some of them said that they did not know what the question was. ‘They were informed ; and, by a vote of 73 to 58, the bill to carry into effect certain treaty stipulations was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, AN EPISODE [We have seldom had to note so much disorder as now. such as loud talking, laughter, and slapping of documents on the desks, with a view to direct the at- tention of the pages whowait on the members. The hall was rather dark, and it no doubt puzzled the audi- tors in the galleries to know what was going on, ‘The presiding officer repeatedly called to order, and directed gentlemen who were standing in the aisles and in the area in front of the Clerk's desk to take their seats. At first they paid no attention to him, but a few tremendous blows with the gavel on the table, (which it would bave been as well to inflict on their heads.) brought them to something like order.
