(Every seat on that side of the chamber was "vacant.) Adjourned. House of Representativ Wasmaroy, Dec. 19, 1859. Mr. Grier, (8. 0.) of N. C., caused to be read a news- paper article commenting on an extract from a Boston tract journal, associating his name offensively with Help- + er’s book, and saying, among other things, that the South Bhould look about to see whether she had not traitors on her own soil. He said that go far as this article applied to him, it was an infamous, malicious fabrication, and false- hood from beginning to end. If he hadever received ‘Melper’s book, as charged, it must have been through the zoail, but he bad no knowledge that the book ever ame into his possession. Certainly he never read no solitary word of it. Ever since he*had refused to act with the democrats on the Lecompton policy, which he believed an infamous fraud and swindle, he had + een pursued with the ferocity of a tiger and the maligni- fty of adevil. He repeated that the whole publication, so far as intended to affect him, wasa lic from beginning to - end. Mr. SivcLETON, (dem.) of Miss., replying to Mr. Hick- aman, emphatically denied the latter's charge that the South has violated all its compacts and compromises. ‘Where and when had the South demanded anything more than she was entitled to under the constitution? ‘hen- ever aggressions were made they were by the stronger ou the weaker section, and the South was obliged to take her present stand with the view to preserve fraternal re- tions. ‘Mr, Hickman, (A. L. dem.) ot Pa,—Will the gentleman allow me to ask him a question? Mr. Siyetxron—I will answer any question I can that may be put to me; but will the gentleman answer my * question first Mr. Hickman—I will answer you,and then I, suppose there will be no objection to me asking @ question in re- turn? The gentleman would find, from the history of the Aegislation of 1850 and 1854, that there was a demand made by the repre ves of the South that the exclusive, as it was cailod—the exclusive logis- ation of 1820 should be repealed—that the Mis Bouri compromise, inasmuch as it prevented Blaves being taken into the Territories beyond the line of ‘thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, was unjust towards the South, and demands were made for its repeal. The whole South, almost toa man, went for that repeal. In return for that they came to thé North and pled, themselves hat the question of slavery from that day forward should weage to be agitated, and that the settlement of the whole uestion should be left to the people of the Territories duemseives. Then, after the North had agreed to this, ‘and consented to the repeal of the Missouri bill, an effor ‘was perseveringly to force slavery into the Terri fories from hich it was excluded by the acts of 1850 and 1864 ; and, failing in this effort, they then denounced the Jey yn of 1854, insisting that the principles of tLe Kansas ‘nd Nebraska bill should be repudiated, and that we should have nothing more to do with it. This, I say, was an eons to destroy the understanding that had been ti wome to ‘ween the North and South in 1820. Now, I ‘ask the itleman this question: Why it was that the South did not prefer to observe the provisions of the ‘Missouri Compromise? and if they did not consider its repeal necessary, Buf did they struggle so long and anxiously for its repeal? Mr. Sinarxron—The gentleman has not answered the question I propounded. I made a statement, fully and wlearly, which was, that as long as the Missouri compro: mise remained on the statute book unrepealed, that there never was the slightest effort made on the part of the South to overthrow that compromise, directly or indi- rectly. Was there not a clause providing thai in every Territory organized north of the line slavery would bo excluded? You received everything you could expect. ‘You lost nothing by the repeal of the Compromise bill. But in 1848, when the proposition was made by your great Jeader—when the proposition was made by Mr. Douglas, in the Senate chamber, to extend the Missouri line from tthe Rio Grande to the shores of the Pacific—it was voted ‘against by every Northern man, and it was only carried Dy the Southern votes, with tue votes of the democrats ‘who co-operated with them. It was only necessary to Jook at the records of the legislative proceedings of the time to convince every impartial mind that the South made no war upon the extension of that lino, but that, on the contrary, Southern men were at all times willing,’ by extending the line to the Pacific, to mark the boundary between the North avd South, and thus to set the ques- tion at rest forever. Whoever urged against the South that she violated the Missouri Compromise must go back to history, and examine the records of the time, before they attempt to substantiate that charge. But what was the fact? The Supreme Court of the United States saw that such a law ought never to have been placed upon the Statute books; and, therefore, suppose the South hai de- sired to bave that law refcaled, certainly they had a right to have it repealea without their action being stigma- tized as a violation of the law, or as a war upon the rights of the North. But as to violations, it was the Bouth that had just cause of complaint for violations against the North. Did the North observe the principles of tho Fugitive Slave law? Did the North enforce that Jaw? No; but, on the contrary, you protect the slave ‘against his master; and at the present time no man in jhis senses would attempt or seek to recover his slaye from any of the free States, unless, indeed, he was a desperate man, that no consequences would deter, I maight refer, in proof of the way in which the North not. nly violates her pledges, but violates the law and the wonstitution, to the case of the fugitive slave Burns, when dhe was arrested in Boston, and when fifteen military companies had to be called out in defence and for the reservation of the laws. So far, therefore, from tho uth being recreant in fulfilling her obligations, and observing the laws and the constitution, she has in every single instance, and at all times, showed a deter to uphold the laws and the con- Btitution. Not a single instance to the - contrary “would be referred to. We have at all times cheerfully paid our taxes, we have contributed with blood and trea- Bure to the common defence of the rights and liberties of the nation, and there never was atime when we were ‘Rot prepared to uphold the constitution and the laws. ‘There are no instances of violations of the law in the Bouth. There are no mobs, no violent and illegal demon- Btrations, in the South —no organization to resist the law. ‘No, there is nothing of that sort within her borders; and when you want to see these illegal combinations and’ yio- ‘ations of all law and order, you must keep north of ‘and Dixon’s line. I might, in proof of the fre- ‘quent encroachments made by the North upon the South, refer to the law for receiving abolition petitions, when F hagt me ASA ‘us until the door was thrown open for the reception of these abolition petitions on the floor of the House. I Tefer to your opposition to the introduction of slavery into the States and Territories south of Mason and Dixon’s line, and I might rofor to dozens of instances to show that instead of as com} bostilities always proceeded from fer to your Personal Liberty bill, your habeas and your mandamus acts. Among others I might to the raid of John Brown into the State of Virgini inevitable result of slave agitation im the Nor bas kept men’s minds disturbed till at last war was claimed, and a murderous band invaded the soil of Vir- ginia.

If he signed it, however, not knowing its contents, then ho has uilty of a recklessness which in my judgment disquall- Fits him from holding apy office go important as that of Speaker of this House. You, gentlemen, on the other ide of the House, simply want to pipe us hore a man who signed and endorsed tho iper book.

It is slaves we would exclude from the Territories, not free men. Mr. Sincreron—Exactly, sir. Now, I believe you are considered one of the most moderate men of that party. lunderstand you. You mean to say that we can go our- selves in upon new Territory, but that we cannot bring our slave property there and keep them there. Mr. Curnis—That is the idea. Mr. Sixcumtoy—Exactly;; that, then, is the idea. Now, let me tell you if you imagine that the men of tho South are’ 80 lost to a sense of honor as to remain in the confederacy upon such terms as these, you are very much mistaken. It you imagine we will allow ourselves to be hemmed in in this way, and never be permitted to expand, no mattor how necessary it may be tor our prosperity and progress, you are indeed very much mistaken. Mr. Cvunris—Was it not a condition of the constitution of 1807 to exclude slavery where it did not then oxist? Mr. Sixcuerox—You are wrong in your premises. the firet place, the constitution was not framed so. Mr. Ccrms—Was there not an act passed on the 7th August, 1807, excluding slavery from the only Territory in which it then existed? Mr. Sixcixton—That is true. Mr. Curnis—It it was right to exclude slavery then, is it not right now? There were frequent interruptions and explanations be- tween Messrs. Siwgleton, Curtis and Clemens for some minutes, when Mr. StaNToN, (rep.) of Ohio, amid the calls of his party to sit still, rose and said—I do not desire to be regarded as commited by anything said or refused to be said prior tothe organization of the House. I protest against the right of avy gentleman to interrogate me. I desire simply to say that when the House is organized these subjects will be properly before the House and the country for discus- sion. We are prepared to meet this question at the pro- per time, but we will not meet it now. ‘Mr. SinciETox—Is it not your purpose to repeal the Fa- gitive Slave law? Can I have noresponse to that? Is there no man among you who dares to meet that question openly and publicly. (Applause from the democratic benches.) I charge you before the country as plotting to repeal the Fugitive Slave law, and I dare you to the re- sponse. Mr. Cvrris—Many men look upon this law as unconsti- tational in form and unconstitutional in practice. Mr. Sixaixtox—Is that your platform? Mr. Ccrtis—There is no allusion made to it in the re- publican platform. Mr. SixGiston—You would repeal the law? Mr. Curns—I would certainly vote for the amendment of the law. I speak the feelings of my constituents. Mr. Sincietox—This very question will sooner or later prove the disruption of every tie which binds us togother. If you suppose either that the people of the South will be shut out from the Territories acquired by the common blood and treasure of the country, and eke out a misera- ble existence confined to our present limits, I tell en you may prepare for the dissolution of the mtn. We must have expansion inside of the Union if we can, butoutside of itif we must. (Applause from the democratic benches.) I tell you that the issue is come—that the Rubicon is passed—and that my senti- ments and those of my people are for immediate separa- tion from you. The sooner we get away from you the better, for every Ce bee we remain under prosent cir- cumstances but weakens us and impairs us, and renders us less able to cope with you when the time comes. ‘You have the numerical ._ ‘The whole sentiment of the North is against us, and sooner or later, when you have concentrated your whole force, you will try to treat us as ‘ou like, and attempt to compel us to remain in the Union if’ "wo ‘desired to leave it. But’ the. time ig not yet come for that. I tell you that the institution of slavery must be preserved. The South has made up its mind upon that point. We want expansion, and we shall have it, either inside of the Union or outside of it. We are not to be confined within our present limits. If three millions of men determine to go into the surrounding Territory, who will VS hr us—who will dare to attack us? The men of ippi acquired some character for bravery in the Mexican war. The men of South Carolina, too, proved themselves io that campaign; and we have our brave Mexican leader yet among us, Joffer- son Davis. Itell you that arenes hold most sacred will be staked upon the issue of the contest, if we should ‘be driven to this extremity, and before we surrender, our rights blood will be shed, I’ might say knee deep, when- ever the South makes up her mind to separate from the confederacy. It was said that New York could Hot aflord to part with us. Mr. Crark (A. L. dem.), of N. ¥.-I said New York could not afford to send a sectional man to Congress. Mr. Sincteron—Well, separation has not ‘come yet; but I tell you this—whenever you elect a black republican, such as Seward, or , or any such man as those— whenever you elect a man of that stamp to preside over the destinies of the conntry, then-you may expect to see the whole South united in offering resistance to his inau- guration. Think you that we will stand quietly and see Seward clected President of the United States? No, sir. Here Mr. Singleton referred to the fact that whoever the President might be, he would have the whole military force of the government under his control, and con- tinued:—Yes, and in event ofit being your nominee he will use it, too, for the ruin of the South. Thus he would have the whole power of the army and of the navy to coerce tis. For these reasons we cannot submit. I be- Neve the President’s appointments number some twelve thousand; of those some five thousana are in the South. If Seward be elected President, [ take it for granted that ‘no gentleman in the South would hold oflice under him. I would not doit myself, and I believe my constituents and the people generally entertain the same sentiments, If there be found in the South those who wonld be willing to accept oflice under him they would be marked and ex- pelled from the community. Iwill not submit to take any part or lot with the administration of the government according to my present view. Aad do you suppose that the people of the South ‘will permit five thousand office holders, or any number of them, to be sent down there as abolition emisgaries for the purpose of stealing our slaves and encouraging insurrec- tion among our negroes. Do you suppose we could submit to such a state of things as that? No; the South will never submit to it, if I understand her temper and disposition in regard to the matter. So I say again, that when the day arrives that a black ro- publican is elected President of the United States—a man who declares that there is an ‘irrepressible conflict” going on between free labor and slave labor—and when- ever such a man undertakes to force himself upon us, then you will find that the days of the republic are num: bered. If you mean to preserve the Union there is but one plan’ by which you can suoceed in doing it: recede at once from the position you have taken, throw open the ‘Territories to us, ac- knowledge our right to settle there, declare to the world that if a Territory appties for admission as a slave State, you will at once and without any reservation admit her. “You must, however unpleasant it may be to you, give assurance to the people of the South that when th slaves run away you will at least interpose no obstacle to their recovery. Iam no prophet, nor the son of a pro- het, but I tell you unless you do this, unless you desist Rom the course you are now pursuing, the historian now lives who will write the inevitable motto over this nation: “Tleum juit.” Mr. Kitcore, (rep.) of Ind., (rising amid cries of « down” from the tian aeobes) Pe tleman assumes that the South has a right to secede m the Union peaceably, and that he is in favor of such secession?

Mr. Bocock, (dem.) of Va.—Mr. Clerk, during the ep.» of two weeks my friends of the democratic party liv supported moe throughout this contest with a uaivimity which demands my heartfelt gratitude and most sincere acknowledgments, It was believed, my friends, for a time that my name might present a point around ‘whose ceptre all might rally with a successful result. The hope that was felt in this matter bas been diminishing day by day, and bas appeared more aad more dim, until it nas entirely faded away. The country, in the ‘meantime, is deeply and intensely excited, aud a feeling pervades it far beyond anything of the kind that was ever felt before. ‘d to the organization of the House, people de- mand of each other how it is that we cannot wnite here together. But there is a fecliug—a conscientious feeling— that we cannot unite but by the defeat of a party we regard as sectional. For myself, I was willing at all times and at all stages of the ballot to unite in a feasible mode of accomplishing that object. I believe there is no further use in my name continuing before the House as the nominee of any party, and I believe the further use of my name would be to some extent a stumbling block ‘and bar to unity of action. I beg, therefore, to withdraw my name from the further consideration of tue House, Before taking my seat, I will say that I fully appreciate the high honor of’ presiding over the House of Reprexen- tatives; but there is also another consideration scarcely Jess dear to me, if at all less dear, and it is the proud consciousness that during the two weeks of this very ex- citing and animating discussion of this active canvass I feel that, as a representative of thie free, chivalrous nation, had I been elected to preside over its deliberations here, I would have entered upon the high office uncommitted toanything, and free to extend equal justice to every man. Twill take’ care to prove, while on this floor, that my heart is unstained by any mean complicity—that my hands are unshackled—that I am free to think and act for the protection of the rights of every section of the coun- try and for the best good of the whole. I withdraw my name as candidate, Mr. Clark. (Partial applause ) There were several calls for adjourament and for a second ballot. The latter proposition was resisted on ac. count of one or two members having left the House, Great confusion prerened, members all standing and shouting and laughing together. Mr. Grow, (rep.) of Pa.—The absence of one or two members ought not to be allowed to prevent the business of the House going on. I suppose if one or two of you over there died off you would want two from this side to pair off. (Laughter.)
