SUMNER--JUDGE DOUGLAS AND THE TERRITORIAL \PPOINTMENTS, ETO. Wasuineton, June 28, 1854. We inadvertently stated yesterday that it was believed the fishery and reciprocity treaty would not be sent to ‘the Senate this session. We meant would not be report ed. It has been laid before the Senate, but itis not the present intention of the committee to report it back im- mediately, if this session. Mr. MeDougall’s bill for an increase of the mall com- munication with California was killed to-day, without an effort. As amended it sought to sustain and increase the Aspinwall monopoly. Mr. Sumner’s sophistry was exposed to-day by Sena- tor Butler. The debate throughout was very ably cun- ducted. An evening paper attempts to quibble about our state- ment a week ago that Judge Douglas could not succeed in getting a petty appointment for a political friend uader the Nebraska bill. We reiterate in precise terms the fact then stated. As to how Judge Douglas views tho matter ‘we neither known or care. We presume he has tov much good sense to allow any act of the present administration ~to annoy him. ‘Tn consequence of pressing California business Mr. La- ‘tham will not be able to address the democracy in Tam- ‘many Mall on the Fourth. Hon. Gilbert Dean will accept the Judgeship. Congress ‘will lose in Mr. Dean one of its most energetic and ta- lented young members. It is believed, now that the Ten Million bill has ‘been disposed of, that the House will devote the morning hour of each day to the reports of oommitteos ‘So far this session but two committees besides the stand “ng committees have had.an opportunity of reporting. THIRTY-THIRD CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasuixcton, June 28, 1864. ‘MORE EXPLANATIONS. “Mr. Perrrr, (dem.) of Ind., said tbat on Monday, in de- ‘bate, he had referred to Mr. Sumner’s open disavowal of his obligation to the Constitution, and to his oath to sup- port it, in no very complimentary terms. In the official report of that debate, that Senator was represented as having said as follows:—I said, Trecognise no obligation in the Constitution to bind me to help to reduce a man ‘to slavery.”” These words, said Mr. Retit, were not made inthe Senate. Ifthe Senator had said them they would dave been false, and I would have noticed them. Mr. SuMNEK, (free soil) of Mass.—I call the Senator t > vorder. I say they were uttered by mo here in the Senate J will prove right in hia teeth that what ho suywiafalee. (Cries of ‘Order, ordur.”) | Tsay he di soot ing ase OF the fpmarks here reported oa the fver Dut after the adjournment he went to the reporter and ‘chad them interpolated into the report of my\ remarts ‘He then argued that the Senator never had the floor t ‘make any sueh remarks, and if it was made privately ‘shi not heard by Eeoators it ought not to go into the re . It was unfair in any Senator to interpolate re snarks into reports which were not actually made. His speech new contained this remark, and no reply to it sp- from him, He made no reply to it necause the Temark was never made. He discussed the rights of Sen- ators to revise their remarks. He said that whea proof sheets of bis speech handed he saw this interpolation, and auced it false, and directed it to be left out, The fordnan of the Globe office, however, had put it in. He read a letter from the reporter of the Globe to the ‘effect that this remark did not appear in the short hand notes of Mon‘ay’s debate, but that when Mr. Sumner called to revi-e his remarks he had put the report in the shape it now «pears. The Senator had said in answer to remark, that he would not execute the constitution, ‘that he recognised no such obliga.ion, ‘The Senator said that he would not return as fugitive slave, and asked, servant adog that he should do this thing. ” ‘who first used that remark was a fitting person for the Senator to quote. He hud proved himsel( «lying ingrate, a dog. He was a happy prototype of the Senator from Massactusetia in all his conduct. The interpolation Senat:r was false, because he could not havo said and false because he did not say it. ‘Mr. Sumver—lI repeat that the remarks were made by «me substantially as reported. I made them in my seat, and did not suppozo they would have reached the re- ear. He then explained that the reporter volun- ly showed him the report, and finding it did not cor- respond exactly with what he had said, corrected it. As +o all else which the Senator had said, he had not one word to reply. The scbject, which had consumed an hour, then ~dropped. oppet. LANDS FOR MINNESOTA, The House vill to aid Minnesota in constructing a rail- road therein, was taken up and passed. ‘The motior to reter the Boston petition for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, was then taken up. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW] Mr, Dix, (whig,) spoke for an hour {n defence of tho Fugitive Slave law, denouncing opposition to it. He also zelaest the whig party of the North had become abolitionists as a party, and renounced any political connection with them while they remained so. He ro- ferred to the platform of the Whig State Convention of New Hampshire, and said if the tests laid down in that body were to be made by Northern whigs, he desired to be forcver disconnected with them. ‘An effort was then made to postpone the subject until “Monday, but, after considerable debate, was voted down. Mr. Marrony defended the Fugitive Slave law, and in the course of bis remarks referred to Mr. Sumner’s dis- avowal of any obligation imposed by his oath to support the constitution. Mr. SumNER—I call the Senator to order. £0. Mr. Maiory said he would not even put into a aog’s mouth any statement which was not true, but he woud ‘de glad to know what the Senator did say, Mr. Sumxrr.—I said I recognized no obligation :pon me to help to return or reduce to slave Mr. Ciay ta! could not keop silent and hear tho Senator, with nce of marnuer and unbluahing fi deny, after having unqualifiedly disavowed his constitu: tional obligations, attempt to tbrow the responsibitity ‘on the reporter. “fe then defended the reporter whose character he said, would compare favorably with Mr. Sumner’s among persons who i.new both; but among strangers would, perhaps, be tcexted as inferior to the who acct entally occupied a seat in the Senate. The Sepator did make the remark imputed to him, and the Scuxtors all around, him corrovorated ‘the report. The qualification pnt on the declaration by “the interpolation in the report was an afterthought, and done to shirk and avoid the responsibility of appearing to the worki ox a man having desecrated the Senate obamber with his presence and the Htly Evangelists with his lips. If the Senator had not disavowed any ob- digation te ‘Le constitution, would he have been charged with having done so, by the two Senators sitting nearest Thim? He cesired ‘to suggest to Senators a means <of remedying this conduct—though there were no ‘means to reach 2 person guilty only of crime in thought, estill there was a mode of defe ding that body from such persons.

[ think, sir, that Iam not the only pervon on this floor who in listeping to them in tuis debate—these two self-confi- dept champions of the pecu iar fanaticism of the South —was reminded of the striking words of Jefferson pie- turipg the influence of slavery—“ The whole commerce,” said be, ‘between master and slave is a perpetual exer- cise of the most boisterous passions, the moat unremit- ting despotism on the one part, and degrading submis- sion om the other. Our chiliren see this and learn to imitate it, for men isan imitative animal. The pareat storme, the child looks on, catebes the Hneaments of wrath, puts on the same airs in the circle of smaller slaves, gives loose to bis worst passions, and thus nursed, @ducated. and daily exercised in tyranny, cannot but be stum) ed by it with odious peculiarities.” The man must be @ proogy who can retain his manners and manly feel. ings undepraved by such circumstances. No person who has witnessed the Sevator from South Carolina and the Senator from Virgipia in this debate, will place them among the prodigies described by Jefferson. As they spoke, the Senate chamber must have scemed in their sight a plautation stocked with slaves, over which the lush of the overseer had free scope. There was little that fell from them which deserves rpply. Certainly not the hard words they used 60 readily® Tue Senator from Vir- ginia complained that I had characterised a person who went from Virginia to Boston in pursuit of a slave slave hunter. Sir, I choose to call things by their right names. White] call white, and black 1 call black. A man who degrades himself to the work of chasing a poor RegTo, who, under the inspiration of freedom guidance of the north star, had sought a freema: far away from the whip of the overseer, I call a slax6 hunter. If the Senator will give me aay term which more precisely describes such a person, I will yee it. It was said by one of the philosophers of antiqatty that the tush 1s a sign of virtue; and permit me to adi that the sensibility which that Senator displayed at a just term, which truly characterizes an odious person, is kindre| to a blush. which even the plantation manneré of the ena- tor could not conceal; and the Senator from South Caro- Kina, too bas betrayed his sensibility; and here let me aiy that this Senator knows well that I always listen with po- oulia’ pleasure to his rich exuberant speeches as they gur- gle forth, so often tinctu:ed with generous ideas, except when, in defiance of reason, he undertakes to defend that which is obviously indefensible, This Senator disturbed when to his inquiry whether I would re personal assistance in reducing or returning—I use the words as equivalent —a fellow man to slavery, I ex- claimed, ‘‘Is thy servant » cog that he should do th thing?’ The Senator asks if there is any dog in the consti- tution He does not seem to think that by the interpre- tation that he has given to the constitution, he has help- ed nurture there a regular South Csroling bloodhound trained to hunt negroes. No, sir, [do not believe that there ie any bloodbound,or even any dog, in the constitu- tion of the United States; but since the brief reaponse which I make to the inqviry of this Senator, has upon me various attacks, all marked by grossness of language avd mamner—since I have been charged with openly declaring my purpose to’violate the constitution and to break the oath which I had taken at that desk— I shall be pardoned for showirg simply how a few plain words will put all this down. The authentic report in tho Glote shows what I actually said—where that is read itrenders anything else superfluous. But the Senatora who have been so swift in misrepresontation, deserve to be exposed. Now, sir, I begin by adopting as my guide the authentic words of Ancrew Jackson in his memor- able veto in 1832, of the Bank of tho United States—to his'course was opposed the authority of the Supreme nd this is his reply—‘‘If the opinion of the Su Pp Court covers the whole ground of this act, it ovght not to control the co ordinate authorities of this government. The Congress, the executive and the court must cach for itself be guided by its own opinion of the constitution. Each puolic officer who takes an cath to support the constitution, swears that he will support it as he understands it, and not as it is under- stood by others. It is as much the duty of the House of Representatives, of the Senate and of the President to de- cide upon the constitutionslity of any bill or resolution which may be prosentod to them for passage or approval, as it is of the supreme judges when it may be brought be fore them for judicial decision. The authority of the Su- preme Court must not therefore be permitted to control the Congress or the executive when acting in their legis- lative capacities, but to have only such influence as the foree of their rearoning may deserve.”’ Mark these worde—“ Every public officer who takes an oath to sup- port the constitution swears that he will support it as he understands it, and not.as itis undera! by others.’’ Does any Senator here dissent from this rule? Does the Senator from Virginia? Does the Senator from South Carolina? At allevents, for myself I accept the rule as just and reasonable. In swearing to support the consti- tution at, your desk, Mr. President, I did not swear to tupport it as you understend it, as the gentleman from Virginia understanca it, or as the Senator from South Carolina understands it—with a blood-hound, or at least dog in it, in pursuit of aslove. No such thing, sir. I swore to support it as 1 understood it. Now, I will no’ gceupy jour time, nor am I disposed at this moment, nor does the occasion require, that I should go intoany- minute criticisin of the clause of the constitation for the surrender of fugitives from fa in the face of commanding rales of interprotation, ai ward freedom, that in the con paltering in a double sense, the words em can be judicially regarded as justly applicable to fugitive slaves, which is often pi earnestly de- nied, but on which I now express no opinion—as- suming, I say, these things are hostile to freedom, then I desire to say that as I understand the constitu. tion, this clause does not impel me to any personal obli- gation. especially it does not impose upon me any obli- gation to render any personal assistance in the surrender ef a fagitive slave. As a Senator, I have taken the oath to support the constitutfon as I understand it; and un- derstanding it as Ido, 1am bound by my eath to oppose all enactments by sien cd on the subject, as a flagrant violation of the constitution, and especially must I op- pose tho last act, as a tyrannical usurpation. Here my duties as a Senator, under the oath which I have taken, end. In no respect, by my oath as a Senator, can I be constrained to duties in‘other capacities, or as a simple citizen, which are revolting to my conscience, even though required by positive enactments, " Now, fo this interpretation of the constitution I may be wrong—others mey differ from me, and will act according to their un- derstanding—for myself, I shall act according to mine. On this stavement of my constitutional obligations I stand; and to the inquiry whether I would render any Fase nr assistance uae Pg ee 8 ondage, I reply again—‘Is thy servant a dog, that ho should ¢o thisthingr” And in looking around. pon this Senate, I might ask fearlessly, how many there are in this bedy—if, indeed, there is a single Senator, who would stoop to any such service. Until some one rises and openls conferses bis willingness to become a slave- hunter, I will not believe that there can be ono; and yet honorable and chivalrous Senators have been prompt to judge mo because I openly declared my abhorrence of a serviee at which every manly bosom must revolt. “Sire, Ihave found in Bayonne ve soldiers and good citi- zens, but not one executioner,’? was the noble reply of the Governor” of that place to Charles the Ninth, of France, when be ordered the massacre of St. Bartholo- mew; ond such o spirit, 1 think, will yet animate the ‘people of this country, when pressed to the service of dogs. To the question which haa been proposed—whether Massachusetts will, by State laws, carry out the offensive clause of the constitution— Treply that Massachusetts at all timos has been ready to do her duty under the constitution as sho anderatands it, and, I doubt not, will over continue of this mind. More than this I cannot say. In quitting this tepic I cannot forbear to remark that tue assaults on me for my discloimer of all constitational obligation to render pec- ronal assistance to make a mana slave, come with an il ce from the veteran Senator of Virginia, a State which y its far fumed resolutions of 1798 assumed to determine its constitutional obligations, even to the extent of nulli- fying an act of Congress; and also with an ill grace from the yeteran Senator of South Carolina, a state which at a later day artayed itself openly against the federal authorities, and which threatens nullification as often as babies cry. He then dwelt upon rifling of the mails in South Carolina, and thereto. letier of Postmaster Kendall in reply sir, there is a particular incident in the hi of South Carolina which shoutd havo made the Senator from that State hesitete. It is not many yoars since Mas- suchuseits commissioned a distin wentluman, of dlar le and eminent pi lities, who had once held n seat in tho other mel Hoar— to reside at! harleston for a year, in order to protect tae sof Massachusetss, to test jonnlity of anintnte of that State, so gross in its provisions that an eminent character of South Cerclint, a Judge of the Suprome Conrt, had character- ized it as trampling upon the constitntion, and a direet Atiack upou the soverciguiy of the United States. But this agent of Mageachusetts, an unarmed oll man, was prevented grom performing his duties, driven from the stave by arespectavle mov, and tie Legislature subse- quently sanctioned the lawieas ot by placiag on the stat- tte books an order for lafe expulsion and yet the Senator from South Carolina bolds up his hands in holy horror at the imagined delinquencies ot Maseachusetts towards slave Lunters.and also at my own open rofnsal torender any aid. Hefore this Senator undertakes to lecture Massachusetts or myseli, let bim return to hia own State and first lec- tore there. ‘The Senator from Sonth Carolina ina sub- lime extacy of slavery, burst forth in the ejaculation that, Masrachasetts at tho time sho was illustrated by Otie, Hancock, ond the brace of Adamses, was slaye- holding, and he hailed those patriots as representing hardy slayeboldiug Massachusetts.

Nothing can exceed the beauty and symme+ try of her form apd. her fair proportions, Her owner bad intended'to enter her in the great State’ Pést Stake at Nev Orleans last sprimg. but from some reaeon which we at present cannot’ recollect, she was net entered;.amd Highlander was subst tuted in her place.

Sho recom ered, however, quickly, and in a few days after beat the famous horse Arrow. Her condition yesterday was so fine, that- her owner was sanguine that ae horse living could. beat her in the present ‘race. Every person seemed to be instinctively aware of —_ her superiority, and. the odds offered on her were very heavy—the whole. of Wall street to the de funct Plainfield Bank. Di Clapperton is a: beautiful mare, and combines high qualities as a racer, but we do not think that she ever will become a rival to Lexington, High-: lander, Lecomte, Blonde; or Arrow. In the present race, setting aside other considerations, she labored. under the disadvantage, on account of her age, o7: carrying seventeen pounds more weight than her competitor, Blonde. “In addition to the stables now on the ground,, others from the South would have been here, but were deterred by fear of the abolition incendiaries and underground railroads—Southern grooms and riders being principally negrocs. We can assure our Southern friends that they have nothing to fear in that respect. There never was but ono instance known of a negro being enticed away from a racing stable—negroes being proverbially fond of horses— and he belonged to 0. P. Hare. After an absence of a few days, his morals were so contaminated by abolition culture that he committed a theft, and waa sent to Blackwell’s Island for six months, and hig: owner refused to take him home after his term of imprisonment expired. .

After the usual ceremonies of weig! ond tee structing the riders had been gone throt with,the- horses were saddled, mounted, and came up for the First Heat—Di Clapperton on the inside, riddem by a colored boy, dressed in blue, one of the best ders we have ever known, riding as if of the horse. She took the lead at the start, wed Blonde, both hand in hand. They contim on with a gap of about half a dozen I between them until they had ran about ti fourths of a mile. When on the turn of the home stretch, Blonde ran up very: close tothe mare; but her rider taking 3 uew pull, she slac! her speed, and Di Clapperton led by the stan 1 about three ag ee in advance, inaking the first mile im 1:544. They continued in about the same position, with an occasional falling buck on the part of Blonde, until she was in front of the Mansion House, on the back stretch.
