THIRTY-SHCOND GONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasmumaron, May 26, 1852. ANOLITION MEMORIAL FROM QUAKERS, Br. Susiwex presented the memorlsl of the annual meet- ing of the Society of Friends, in New Fugiand, praying for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. A debate ensued. Mr. Sumter, (free soil) of Mass., said that the memo- rial was recommended to the Senate by the high charac- ter of the religious association from which it omanated— persons who rarely mingle in politics, but who, under their austere rules, seek to carry the Christian virtues into social and civil life, The Presipeny reminded the Senator that his remarks were not now in order, a4 the memoria) had not been received. Mr, Scmwen had but a very few words to add, and pro- posed to move a reference of the memorial to the Com- mittee on the Judiciary. : The Senator was informed that he might state the contents of the memorial, but not go at present into a discussion of its merits. Mr. Sumner replied that he did not wish to discuss the subject, but simply to explain the contents of the menro- ial. Mr. Bavorn, (whig) of N. C.—Let the Senator proceed, Mr. Dawson, (whig) of Ga.—Certainty. Mr. Sunxxa resumed—The momorial was likewise recommended by its earnest and persuasive toue. In offering it at this time, he thought it proper to say that ‘on some proper occasion hereafter he should deem it his duty to give his views at length upon the aubject.. Thus far he had forborne to speak upon the topic, but there was a time for all things, and justice required that both sides should be heard. He believed he did not expect too much, when he expressed the confident expectation that he should receive the candid attention of the Senate while he essayed to set forth, fully and frankly, the views which he entertained, and the convictions to which the was bound by every senti- ment of his heart, and by every consideration of his duties asa Senator. and by his love to God and man. When he should undertake that service, he should sa} nothing which, in any degree, could be called sectional, nlees the constitution was scctional, and the sentiments their fathers were sectional. It was his happiness to believe, and his hope to be able to show, that according to the epirit of the constitution, and the true sense of its framers, freedom, and not slavery. is national; while slavery. und not frecdom. is sectional. In duty’ to the petitioners, and in the hope that it would promote their prayer, he concluded by moving that the memorial be referred to the Committee ou the Judiciary. Mr. Maxcum, (whig) of N. ©., remarked that it wa the ecttled practice of the Senate to move to lay the mo- tion to receive papers of this charactor on the table—but he believed this course had been departed from with re- wrd to memorials from the Society of Friends, He hoped this one would be received. and x motion could afterwards be made to lay it upon the table Tho Presipent.—It has already been received. Mr. Hare, (free soil) of N. H.—Then the rule is, peti- tione from the Society of Friends, and from no others, are | to be re ved. Mr, Dawson suid he hoped the Senator from Massa- chusetts, if he desired to re-open this discussion in the {felt Christian feeling with which he seemed to be surcharged and overflowing, would come out boldly now. Let him not conceal his views in clouds—let him come out with manliness, and openiy. If Senators desired to threw firebrands in their.midst, let them do it. If they have hearts more pure and more Christian-like than others, let them pour out their contents, If the discus- sion was to be re-opened, this was the day and hour.
