Its signers wets the bone und sinew of the active business men of tha¥city. He saw nothing in their petition either extraord’uary or wrong. They simply asked for the repeal of au act of Congress only four years old, which act wae in addititm to Uswone which had been in furce over fitty years. Was there tresson in this? Was it treason tc ask Congress to re Pealan act of its own making? It was said chat there were ‘cumstances attending {t which gave to it Grister impor-ance. It was sigmdby men who bad ac- quiesced in the compromixe mea-ures of 1850, of which thie act was one, but who were moved tu ask for the | Perea! of this obpoxious Jaw because Congress had re. i | pesled & previous and long standing compromise. The repeal of the Misrouri compromise, he 1 to agsure | the gentleman, had create a depth of feeling in the free states entirely unprecedented, and which would continue for years to come. It was true that in Boston, j Under this law, recently an arrest was made, that an afiray or riot took place and a homieid committed, but it should be remembered that the constitutional author- ities of Maxsachusetts and Boston took that matter in band and disposed of it. Sudden tumults and affrays And violence bad occurred in other places than in Boston This petition was got up for no purpose of printing bicodshed, riots or treason. It was not got up recently. Hed its signers such objects in view they would not ha’ left their petition open to the pablie gnze at the Mé chente’ Exchange, expo-ed to examination by the friends sno the opponents of its prayer The feeling now exist. in at the North was such as never had been witnessed before. It was wide spread nnd universal.

He would say to Senators, with all respect, that ip Cencuncirg the clergy for petitioning against that act they had pone too far, for tho clergy of New England spcke the sentiments of the whole people they live t among. Public sentiment was against this law, and the cry was for its repeal. He supposed there would always of the people. He would say to the Senator that the time bad gone by when any threat of a dissolution of the Union, consequent upon the action of the people of the free States upon any measure, would deter them frrm doing what they conocived’ to be right. them either for or agaiust any measure. Thue North wus devoted to the Union. They would adhere to it. They wou'd go with it to wbstsovyer extent it was ex- tended; but they did vot believe that this Union could be dissolves. Disunion was an impossible thing. Why was it that Congress, while extending the Union in all diree. tious, had neglected the t birding ligament of a railroad to the Pacific? He urged the construction of that great work, and ssid that he bad no connection with the meeting which bad adopted the adress, though he fully agreed with the sentiments it uttered.

The House refused to suspend the rula sto enable Mr. Buss, (dem ) of Ohio, tointroduce a bill uthorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to appoint an & ‘ent to investi- gate and bring to justice certain offender # against the United States laws, and appropriating $1% 000 for that purpose. He alluded to the Martha Was hington con- spirators, and those who recently robbed sthe Pittsburg Custom House. TOR GADSDBN TREATY. Mr Hovsrox, (dem. ), of Ala., moved that ‘Ate House go into Committee of tle Whole ‘on the bill ap propriating $10,000,000 for carrying the recent treaty @ ith Mexico into effect. Mr. Peckuam, (dem.) of N, ¥., wished to of@er a reso. lotion, which Was merely read for information’, calling on the President, if not inconsistent with the pyiblic in- terests, to communicate copies of all correspandence touching or concerning the treaty concluded between this goveroment and Mexico on the 30th of Decamber ten, bad aiaed in executing the law lately in Boston. Was rot a large number of” them, with treason in their hearts and kmives in hano, engaged in the recent mob to resist the constitution anathe laws ? Les Rockwe11—I do not know that one was so en- geged. Mir. Joxrs arked if Wendell Phillips and Theodore Par- ker, who bad ineited an ignorant and infatnated people to resist the law and the constitution, which they had not courage or manliness enough to do in person, had they nothing to do with these riots and these erys for repeal? As to the clorgymen of New England he had nothing to say. He never quarrelled with women or clergywen. e transferred the fight with them to the fenutor of Illinois. But he asked the Senator if he believed the Union could Inst one day after the repeal of the fugitive slave law? Mx Rockwe1s—] have saidalready that disunion was an impossible thing. Mr. JonEs—If the Senatcr supposes that the South will stand ike cravens and submit to have their property ta- ken from them, in violation of the constitution, he is much mistaken, and knows very little of tneir character. ‘The Union, without the constitution, would be worse than slays Soorer than submit to such degradation and hui ion he would himself apply the terch to the ) liable to ail its pains and penal \ Mr, Crayton explained the bill, and said it had received ) tle unanimous approval of the committee. } Mr. Cuase (free soil) of Ohio, gave notice that to-mor- ww he would ask leave to introduce a bill to prohibit Javery in the Territories of the United States. The motion to refer the Peation, presented by Mr. ston, for a repeal of ths Slave law, was taken up. 1. JONES, (aig) of Tenn., said that he had no design j to call in question the motives of the Senator who had | presented the petition. He had no fault to find with the Lexercire of the right of petition. It was the right of every citizen, and to which he would give every latitude. He would go 60 far as to ray that he believed it was the right of his Satanic Majesty even to send up a petition to that Court which he hud inoulted, and from which he had been hurled. But it was by motives anu obdjecis that petitions were to be judgeu. So if) in sending up tbat petition, he was actuated by a purpose of mischief or was hypocritical in his prayer, he deserved a deever ‘int an that to which he had already been con- If this petition now before the Senate be sent ther from r motives and for rel per Cea a it ig eutitled to all respect. If it be sent hither for the par- os¢ of mischief and to produce strife, then it deserve ¢ contempt of every good map, This was not the frat petition of this character sent here; and had this come ‘unattended with striking ciroumstances, giving it the eolor of treason, he wou!d not have noticed it. But it came here with all the circumstances tending to show that it is part of the plan of operations of those with whom agitation and repeal are watchwords. He had seen already one attempt made to give practical effect to the prayer of this petition, and it had only found four rho would give the sanction of their names to itr unholy purpose. It was said that these petitions \Fugnive i repeal of the Missouri compromise. He did not believe it. ‘It was the result of a combination of thoxe willi- t in any scheme to break down the constitution of the United States, and place the South under dege It came from a city where the laws were openly set at defiance—where the temple of justice was inded by an arned mob to prevent the execution off-gnstitutional duty—where treason stalked broadly throtgh the streets at noonday, and where the officers of the law. were butchered. The petition came from such a people And from such a place, followins im- mediately upon these events. Was he nob right in sup- Posing this petition, got upat such a time, had in view ne consideration of public interest. Itcame from Bos- ton, where the dust of the frst and the last martyrs in ‘the country’s cause, Warren and Patchelder, were now mingled together. He then called attention to an ad- dress, published in the Intelligencer of the 22d instant, said to have been adopted at.» meeting of the member of Congress opposed to the Nebraska bill. The simulta- neous appearance of this document with this petition ahight induce the belief that like birds of omen and perturbed spirits, they desired companion:hip in publicity as well as in sentiment. The meeting which adopted this extraordinary address was most irregular, It was secret, and no man save the Shree whose names were attached to the ad tress had been bold enough to avow their connection with it. “He would rejoice if they had the manliness to coms for- ‘ward and let the country know who they were who had given sunction to this paper. It was to be expected they y would do yo, and that no man would be dastard enoug! to screen nimself from responsibility by avoiding a publicity of his connection with the meeting. It was a amost carefully prepared paper. It did not say the mem- bers of Congress opposed to the Nebraska bill, nor did it ‘gay @ pert of them, but it said a meeting composed of the members of Congrese. Who were thoy? How msay cwere they’ The addroxs was signed by three persons, 4t wry be said that these were all who were there. He had known inectings heraldes to te country as large snd respectable. compored only of a chairman and secretari and whose only claim to largeness consisted in the phy cal proportions of the chairman. foros the chairman hie meeting was considered, it might be con-idered a Jarge meeting He could not believe that any ove mem- ber irom the couth would give the sanction of ‘to the at enis contained in that address. He r the adéress and its arguments upon the encroachments ‘dy the slave power, by its acqui-itions, and the designed extension of its area upen the adoption of the Missouri compromére, ond the compromise of 1860, and the repeal sof the isrmer, &c., &c., &c. He commented upoa the sare with it severity of language. Ho said the was happy the belief that not one Southern ‘man attended that meeting After reading tho address he suggerted to its unknown author to abandon the bar- Ten Geld of political literature, aud turn his thoughts to ‘the richer field of the works offiction. The anthor of this address bide fair to rival the writer of the Arabian Nights entertainments, Eugene Sue, Paul de Kock aud many others who were 80 prolific’ in works of fiction. ‘He had never seen a production which contaided in so » few words so much fiction and pure imagination as address. The address charged the South with the Nebraska bill, with a covered aan of mal ‘the ‘Territories slave States, with am half » states of Mexico, and making them slave, with planting slavery on the Amazon, with augmenting its powers by the acquisition of Cuba and Dominica, and in time re- ducing the North to abject submission. He called for . the author of this accusation. It was a serious one, and which no gentlemen should make behind the masked battery of a secret secating The author of. it knew very well that ad om Southern Southern Senator been in his grave the Nebraska bill * could have passed. It would have passed if no Soathern Senator had voted for it. The whole charge was a false- hood. It was wickedly, maliciously false. He could see , no diference between the petition for the re) of the Fygitive Slave law and the dissol.tion of Union. ‘There was no man that believed the Union could ae served one day after the repeal of the Fugitive Slarc law. The South asked to do no wroog to the North. All vit asked was to rve the constitution and give us onrequality of right. Be had been a whig all his life. He was told now by the Northern wing of that party, ‘that hereafter the test to be applied to all whigs was the repes! of the Nebraska act, repeal of guarantees and temple of our union, and perish in the ruins. If the Sen. atorexpected to see the fugitive slave law repealed or the Missouri compromise restored, he might expect to enjoy a long lifetime. Neither one or the other act would the Senator ever see. Mr. BRcpprap, (dem.) of Ga., said he did not know whether this quarrel between old friends ought to go on or to stop. For twenty years Teumessee and Massachi- setts had been politically associated in all Presidential ¢lections. Tennessee had refused to vote for Gen. Cuss, who 9) vga the Wilmot proviso, ani voted for Gen. Tay: lor, whO refused to pledge himself aguinst it, that he might secure Massachusetts. If this quarrel was to end in their parting company, it had better go on; if not, the Senate cught to take up other business. Mr. EvmNEK, (free soil) of Mass., said that he would be- in by answeribg the question whether the Union can ev Guter = pi echo Ma tte Unicn could not exist without an act—law hé could Hdt call it—which outrages all principles of humanity and right, as did the Fugitive Slave law, then the Union ought not to exist. He would not follow the Sqnator from Tennorsce, for, like a hero of antiquity, it could be said of that § r, ‘thrice had he siain bis foes and thrice he slew the in.”’ He sinecrely hoped the people of the North were not to be intimidated or eajoled into au abnndonment of those great principles of freedom which they hed so long been cevoted to. He hoped there would be a backbone preserved to the Nort. He entirely agreed with his collesgue as to the character of the me- wor'aliste. Among them were those who had acquiesced in vhe compromise measures of 15°; there were there also thore engaged in great mercantile interests. It was thelr great interest, which, in tho history of England, | twice checked the humane efforts of Wilberforce to break upthe African slave trace. It was the seme great in- terest which. from sordid motives, had, in the constitu- tion of the United States, kept, for twenty years, the rome heaven-offending traffic from the judgement of the American people. He had spoken agafost the Fugi- tive Slave law Bere and elsewhere. He was free to avow it For eo doing he would not throw himself upon the judgment of a Senate fresh from the passage of the Nebraska ect, but would throw himself upon the judg- ment of hisccuntry and his God He tben read numerous extracts frem his former speeches on this law, and avowed again the sentiments therein expressed. He re- ferred to the sentiments expressed in Faneuil Hall by Ctis, Adams aud others, preceding the revolution, in which they held that resistance to slavery was obedience to God. A short distance from that sacred edifice, said he, and between it andthe court house where the dis- ubting rete of sacrificing a human being to slavery was fately performed. was the spot which was frst moistened by American blood in resisting slavery, and among the first victims was a colored person. Near Boston are Copeord and Lexington where that resiitance was re- peated, and it received its crowning glory at Bunker Hill. He then run a parallel between the resistance to the stamp ac? in 1766 avd the fugitive slave act of 1850. He further :ontenéed thet the former was a barmless meas- ure when compared with the intter. ji Mr, BuriER, (dem ) of 8. C., said that his idea on this question was, that there onght not to be nny necessity for a fugitive slave law. Under the constitution, ea Siate of itself ought to provide for the rendition of all fa- gitiver from labor to their masters. This was certainly ‘the design of the constitution. He had listened to the Senator who had presented the memorial, and was pleas- ci with his manner. There was a calmness and sincerity hour his remerks which required for thom the highest reepect, He regretted to hear him Lt that there was an intense feeling at the North on this subject. While he bad no objection to a reference of the memoriel, he, in all frankness, oesired to ash the Senator if the tires, which he pays are burning at the North, are net to be extinguished, what good is to be accomplished by a re- port of a committee if they report that the law ought not to be repealed, that will not satisf any person who demands irs repeal. He was surprieed to hear the other Senator, Mr. Sumner, indulge in such rhetorical displays and bad taste, doirg no credit to his uwa, or that of the fenate Hin Apeech was poworthy of the Senate and of a scholar. If he bad kept it » whilonger, and dressed it up a litte, it might have auawered for « Fourth of July oration in some localities. He would remind the Senstor when Otis spoke in Faneuil Hal), when Hancock acted, and when Adams wrote, they «did fo as the reproseota: tives of o slaveholdivg State: ‘The appesls mvde in those cays of Boston and Maseachusetts, were addresses to slaveholding States ‘The men of Massachusettes of that day were slavehclWers and gentlemen, Te rezrnt- ted much the character of the Senator’s speech. ‘There was a great dillerence betwoen it and that of his colleague.

Mr, BENron observed—When the fderal government was framed, Patrick Henry objected to the constitution on the ground that the powers of the purse and atord were given to tLe execuvive.

I any- thing he conld say couli incuce the representatives of the people to think on this subject, he should consider it ove of the mout glorious dare of his political ite, and should rejoiee in the cireumstonce wh ch brought him here this day to plead the privileges of the people and the constitution—to plead for the only thing which, being lost, there was nothing in ‘tle constitution worth preserving. The contest of 1640, betweea Charles the Virst and the British Par- lament, which brought on the overthrow of the mon- arcby, was the identical cause which we now have before us. “Hr.
