Mr. Dawson, (dem.) of Penn., offered # resolution, ‘which was adopted, directing an injuiry into the proprie- ty of establishing a medal department in the United States Mint, and distributing bronze copies of medals commemorative of patriotic services, among the several ‘States. THE NEBRASKA BM. ‘The House went into Committee of the Whole on the Nebraska bill. Mr. Cucsam, (der.) of Tenn., advocated the bill. ‘When the South bas an opportnnity to place herself in ‘the position of the original States, he regretted to see four or six Southern men coming up with the abolition- ists and free soilers, and taking a stand against the re- of the Missouri line, becaase, forsooth, it will agi- | Bite the country: ‘and because, forsooth, it has existed | for thirty.tour years. But during that tiwe, uader this | ical expedient, there has been nothing but Spotted aad turmoil in Attempting to establish the line of Jatitude, instead of fixing the principle of the right of ple to govern themselves in the'r own way, without | nal intervention. ; Duan, (dem,) of N.

He had pro- claimed their sanctity; he venerated them as: the savior of our country from an impending and awful rain, and with the same feelings, actuated by the same'motives, believing in the saving efficacy of 1820, he woul uphold it so long as God gives him strength. If it falls, he must; he would wish no more glorious fate tlian. to go down in defenee of the compromises of the constitution, on which the Union is based, and without which the Union cannot exist. Such a fate he courted. He was listened to with marked attention. Mt. Waren, (dem.) of N. ¥., said, if he had consulted his wishes he would have contented himself with remaining silent. He did not mean to make a speceh in vindication of his course, which was known, nét oly to the people of his own district, but throughout the coun- try. His life had not been one of idle professions, but one of performances. Every act of his life proved'the sin- cerity of his motives. His constituents had asked for no pledges, but relied on his past life. The people of his district knew him, and he believed they knew the worst side before they learned ‘the other. (Cad acd Mem bers gathered round him.) This matter had been.tho- roughly discussed, and therefore he couldthrow no new light upenit. He cared uot for the terms on whieb:the Miscouri act was passed; it was enough for him to know it was e gross violation of the constitution. The cousti- tutionnl convention was the place for compromises there compromises began and ended; it was the cra- die and the grave of compromises. | The-constitution isn compact between sovereign States; no tactic nor cowardly assent by Congress can make a’ violation bind- jog upon us, The course pursued by the opponents of the Lill was known throughout the land. hurried and imperious manner the bill was sent to the Commit- tee of the whole State and Union under pressure of previous question, without opportunity to say one word in reply or ask a single question, caused anexul- tation of federalists and abolitionists over the supposed defeat of the bill. But what achange has come over the spirit of those men when they saw it rescued from the oblivion to wRich ay thought it was consigned, what was their course of action? Here we sat for thirty-six hours. This may have been a subject of very deep regret to some gentlemen; but to him, who had gone through sv many trials, it was 4 souree, of infinite amusement. He had had cake. shop and Catherine Market tests, seeing who could sit up longest or latest. They had’ been told of the thunder tones winch had reached here against this bill. It had betier been suid penny whistles. ‘’he noise came from those who opposed the annexation of ‘Texas, the opp0- nents of every struggle of the democracy on its oaward mereh. The agitation now comes from the same soures— the gingerbread and Peicr Fuok agitutura—a thousand Sat HO ROE ERNUNARIze @ barber shop or an meetings, without respect party, they see faz ends of parties who hate the success of the demo- cratic party. He had been tho worst treated mao of any on this floor by the admizistration ; there was not a single friend of his who had not been outraged by this administration; bat if other mon were disposed | t) gratify their hostility by striking the sacred aud vene- rated principles of democracy, he had neither the cour- age nor baseness todo ao. it seemed like firing a ship's magazine, with five beadred men on board, among whom are your purest friends, for the purpose of reachiag the commander, to Whom you are opposed. ‘The position he now ccenpied is the one he always occupied. He claimed | to represent the national democracy. He stood now where he stood in ‘48, and sustained the p ‘inciple of self-government set forth in the Nicholson letter. le stood with that -self-snerificing pa- triot, Daniel S Dickinson, whom he eloquently eulogised. He bad not this year set his foot on the threshold of the President’s house, He read ina newspaper, the other day, of @ poor woman who stood om the steps of ihe Magdaion Asylum, in England; but she was refused admitiance because she was not qualified—and, for bimself, he was not admitted into | the White House, bec:ure he had not passed through all the degrading and. debusing course of political prostitu- tion le asked no ivors of tle administration. No relative of bis had ever held a public office; he would rather follow them to the grave. The administration has but two years and ten months toserve; but the prin- ciples of democracy are as immutable ax the laws which govern God’s universe—at least so he trusted. ‘After further remarks, Mr. Mormssoy, (dem.) of New Hainpshire, said the democracy of New Hampshire are ready to yield 10 every part 0 the country what is due; but While he knew he wasa citizen of this republic, he knew and felt that he was, too, acitizen of that State. The man who proves false to one sectioa of the Union, will, when ambition and fnterest lead the way, prove false to the other. He was not opposed to the organiza- tion of Nebraska and Kaneas, but was adverse to repeal ihe Missouri compromise. It was not the right of people to govern themselves, which was in fact coutended for by the South; but the right to govern slavers, ani con- trol slavery as a municipal and domestic corporation. Mr. KNox, (wig) of Illinois, obtained the floor, but gave wey to | Mr. BENTON, (dem.) of Mo., who commented on part of the speech of Mr. Seward, of Georgia, saying the whole of Kansas is adapted to lave labor, to the great staples, hemp and tobscco, and that within two hours ride there is a farger slavenolder than Rosnoke ever saw. In his | opinion there was a great movemont pending. He was | not, however, in the confidence of anyb: and there- | fore must grope his way in the twilight for the parpose | of guessing. He lool.ed to contemporaneous events and found about the time this bil! was introduced that Mr. Gadsden went to Mexico as American Minister. What are State secrets here locked up are stroet talk in | Mexico. It is renorted that Mr. Gadsden offered 850,- 000,000 for # broadside of Mexican territory, enough five or six great States. ‘This failed, gone back. Santa Anna is pinghed at present, and Gadsden may have better luck tuis time. Snppos- ing this Territory acquired, slavery will rush in, and | then we will have the principle of non-iatervention, and the ery will be to Congress, ‘hands off.” He had to say this scheme was no stranger to him. It was an old acquaintance. He \inow it in’/6 and ’48. It is reported that Mr. Soulé has beon authorised to offer $250,000,000 for Cuba, and if he cannot get it, to kick Ops mites. He saw the two branches to this seheme. There may be oihers with which he was notas yet acquainted. “But he had enough to stand on at present. ‘A question arose as to whether the time eccupied by Mr. Fenton should be deducted from Mr. Knox’s hour. ‘The Chairman deciced it should.

Mr, Benson, (whig) of Me., opposed the bill. Mr, Knox contended that, so far from the measures of 1850 rendering the Missouri compromise inoperative, | they endorsed and reaffirmed it. Mesers.

One of the witnesses for the prosecution, Mr. Brooks, here rose in hig seat, and said, since he had entered the house on Morday morning, he and others ha‘ been fol- lowed about, and that he had been insulted before he got out of the court room. He had been repeatedly insulted, and felt called upon to appeal to the court for protection. The Judge said, with a good deal of warmth, that the witness should have the protection of the court. If it was deemed necessary he would send officers with all the ‘witnerses for the prosecution ; and, if that woulda’t do, there was military enough in the county.
