He hoped they would take the usual course of all such rerolutions | There never was one example in which the reeclutions of a State Legislature pre. gepnted to the Senate were refused to be printed. Mr. Foote concurred in the sentiments expressed by Mr. Yulee; but he would never oppose the printing of the resolutions of a sovereign State, whatever may be their character, 4 Mr. Dix, in feply tothe remarks of Mr. Yulee, said that the resoluticns, so far from bang unprecedented, in their character, had nothing in them in reference to the prohibition of slavery in the territories, or in ee to the suppression of the ve trade in this District, but that which might be found in the reso- lutions of sixteen of the States of this Union, or in a petition of citizens of the District of Columbie itself. Asregarded the boundary of Texas, the Senate had received and acted upon a petition from the New Mexico, praying the preservation of th torial boundaries by Congress, and the exolusi slaver ‘this petition was also the basis of the ao- tion of the General Assembly of New York.

It is time that we should understand each other. Nothing should be ded—nothing should be supprerred. If the Northern States speak to their sister States in tones of contumely and re- proach, we ought to know it, no matter from what | it quarter it comes. It is a question which thickens upon us each day, and every day. We can shut our eyee upon it nolonger. I am happy to say that the State and the people of Virginia are aroured and alive upon this subject. It may be that the State of Vir- nia will speak to us upon it before the week is past. Foan ask thet Tesolutions, when they come, bo they what they may, be priated for the use of the Se- nate. Mar. Dix—Certainly, eerisinly. * Mr Mason—I shall not go now into the controversy whether we are to draw the line between those States which undertake to de‘ine the domestic institutions of otber States as revolting to the spirit of the age, + nd the rerolutions or petitions of the people of this Dis- trict, or any Southern State, in matters which belong tothemselves. But when these latter meet and speak | po} 8 institution, in which they are immediately | interested, whether they speak commendation or obatien. it is no insult to us, or to any porti y. But when the Northern States, whe: ry mo jopger exists, but where it did once exist, assume to of this institution in contumely and reproach, it ii indiguity to the South, against which it is our ht avd duty to protest. i Dix—The resolutions of the State of New York do not interfere with slavery as it exists in the South- ern States ; but they speak of the question of slavery 0 revolting to the spirit of the age, only in connection with the idea of establishing the institution in territo- — of the United States in which it does not now exiat. Mr. Masons —| am not raising a question; but I would askif this opinion thus applied does not characterize the institution itself, every where where it does exist, as revolting to the epirit of the age’ We can view it in no other light. I desire these resolutions to go to the South. It is due to the South that they shuuld bave them; that they snould have them in their most impressive form, avd in the very language in which those thivgs are peered.

Mr. Cameron replied in defence of Pennsylvania.

Mr Burien, after enlarging upon the effect of these and similar proceedings, in destroying the protection gvaranteed to the South in the constitution, gave way temporarily to Mr Downs. who arreigned the State of Connecticut an baving in her Legislature subverted the guaranties of the constitution, reepecting fugitive slave Mr. Bacowin explained the act of Connecticut pasred in opposition to am act of Congress, whieh ga’ autherity to the State magistrates to restore fugit ve slaves. ‘The State held thet a magistrate limited to # decition upon caures of the value of seven dollars, could not act upon & principle ao important as the liberty ef #n individual. endangering a to the magistrates would be to the pe ! the free people of eolor; and kence the question of the restriction of fugitive slaves wae referred to the higher judicial authorities of the State.
