CI.AH'S COSIPRO- M13E. IN SENATE.— Waahingion, Fil>. 5,18,50.—Tho Senate proceeded to the consideration of the spe- ciiil order, being the following resolntioun pro¬ posed by the Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Olat: It beiug desimble for the peace, concord, and harmony of the Union of these States, tij settle and adjust amicably all eiisling question.'* of con¬ troversy between them, arising out of the inati¬ tution of alavery, upon a fair, equitable, aud just basis: Therefore, 1st. Resolved, That California, with suitable boundaries, opght, upou her application, to be ad¬ mitted as one uf the States of this Union, without the imposition by Congreea of any restriction in respect to the e.\clusion or introduction of slavery within those boundariea. 2d. Resolved, That as slavery does uot exist by law, and is not likely to bo introduced into nny of the territory acquired by the United States from tho Republic of Mexico, it ia inexpedient far Congress to provide by law eiiher fur ila in¬ troduction iuto or exclusion from any pait of tho said territory ; nnd tbut appropriate Territorial GoverumcniB ought to bo CEiablisbed by Con¬ gress ill all of tbo rfaid Territory, not uKsigned aa tho bouudaries of tho proposed state of Califor¬ nia, without the adoption of auy restriction or condition on the subject of slavery. 3ii. Resolved, That thtJ western boundary of the Stale of Texas ought to be fixed on the Rio del Norte, commencing one marine league from its mouih, aud running up that river to lhe southern liue of New Mexico ; thence with that line east- wardly, aud so couiiniijiig in tho sume direction t<» the lino as established between the United States aud Spain, excluding any portion of Now Mexico, whether lying on the eust or west of ihat river. 4th. Resnlved, That it be proposed to the SUite of Texas that the United Slates will provide for thc payme;it of all thut portion of the legitimate aud bona fide public debt of that State coutrncied ^irior to its annexatiou to the United States, and tor which the duties ou foreigu imports were pledged by the said State to its credilors, not ex¬ ceeding the Bum of $> , in considcralion oj" the eaid duties HO pledged having ihencefurward become payable to the United States: and upon the condition also that the eaid State of Texas aliall, by some aolemn and authentic uct uf bi-T Legislature, or of a convention, reliuquiuh to the United State.'? any claim which it haa to auy part of Nqw Mexico. 5lb, Resolved, That it is inexjicdientto abolitsh slavery in the Di.'itricl of Columbia, wliilsl ihal institution continues to exist in the State of Mary¬ land, wiihout the consent of that Stale, without llie consent of the people of llie District, nnd without just compensation to iht owners ol slaves within the District. Gth, But Resolved, That it is expedient to pro¬ hibit within the District the slave-trade, in slaves brought into it from Slotes ur phiccH beyond thc limits of tlio District, hiiherio be sold lh- lein aa merchandise, or to be transported to other mar¬ kets without the District ol Colnmbia. lh. Resolved, Thnt more eUectuaUprovision ought ta be mude by law, accordiiig to the re¬ quirement of tlie constitution, for the rL'sIiluliim and delivery of persons bound lo service or la¬ bor in uny State, who may escape into auy oilier State or leiritory in tbe Union. Sth, Resolved, Thnt Congress haa nojiowerto prohibit or obstruct iho trade in slaves between the sluvehulding Slates; but that thu admissiou or exclusion of slaves broughi from one into a uother of them, depends exclusively upou their own particular laws. Mr. CLAY. Mr. Presidenlj never on any former occasion have I risen under feelings of auch paiiiful solicitude. I have witnessed ma¬ ny periods of. great anxiety, of peril, and of danger in this country, but I have never before risen to address any assemblage so oppressed, so appalled, and so anxious ; and, sir, I hope it will not be out of place to do here, what again and again I have done in my private chamber, to implore of Him who holds the destinies of nations and individuals in hia bands, to bestow upon our country his blessing—lo bestow npon our people his blessing, lo calm the violence and rage^of party, to slill passion, to allow reason Quae more to resume its empire. And may I not ask of Him too, air, to bestow on his hum¬ ble servant now before Him the blessing of his smiles, and of strength aud ability to perform the work winch lies before him 7 Sir, 1 liave said that I have witnessed other anxious peri¬ ods in the history of out coumry, anJ if I were lo venture, Mr. President, to trace to their orig¬ inal source the cauae of all our present dangers, didiculties, and distractions, I should ascribe it to the violence and intemperance of party spir¬ it. To party spirit! Sir, in the progress of this session we have had the testimony of two Senators here, who, however they can differ on other mattera, concur in the existence of that cause in originating thc unhappy difference which prevails throughout the couniry on tha subject of the inslitution of slavery. Parlies, in their endeavors to obtain the the ascendancy over tho other, catch at every passing or float¬ ing plank in order to add strength and powerto each. We have been told, by the two Senators to whom I havo referred, that each of the par¬ lies at the North, in its turn, has moved and en¬ deavored to obtain tho assistance of a small parly called Abolitionists, in order Uiut thc scale in its favor might preponderate against that of its adversary. And all around us, eve¬ ry where, we see too many evidences of the ex¬ istence of the spirit of intemperance. I might go to other legislative bodies than that which is assembled in Congress, and I might draw from them illustrations of the melancholy truth upon which I ara dwelling, but I need not pass oul of this Capitol itself. I say it, sir, with all de¬ ference and respect to tbat other portion of Congress assembled in the other wing of this capiiol; but what have we witnessed there '/— During this very session one whole week has been exhausted—I think about a week—in the vain endeavor to elect a doorkeeper of thc House. [Here there was great confusion arising from the continual pressing forward of the crowds who thronged the galleries, the lobbies, and the floor of the chamber, so much so as almost to drown lhe voice of tho honorablo speaker,] Mr. CASS. Will tbe Senator give way until order is restored / Mr. CLAY resumed his seat. The ViCE PRESIDENT. The Sergeant-at- Arms will see that the avenues to the floor are closed, and that the people arc quieted. Mr. FOOTE. It is to bo hoped that the dis¬ orderly will be quieted. Mr. BADGER. The noise arises from those persons who are collected outsido in the ante¬ room, nnd who, not being able to get in and hear tliemselves, szcm to bo resolved that no¬ body else shall hear. The VICE PRESIDENT directed the Ser- geant-at-Arms to dear tbo outer lobbies of the crowd ; and order being in some degree re¬ stored— Mr. CLAY resumed. And, Mr. President, what was the question in this struggle to elect a door-keeper'/ It was not ag to tho man or lhe qualities of the man, or who is best adapt¬ ed to the situalion. It was, whether thc door¬ keeper entertained opinions upon certain great national measures coincident witb this or that aide of the House. That was the sole question which prevented the election of a doorkeeper for about tbe period of a week. Sir, I mako no reproaches—none, to either portion of that House; I state the fact; and I slatc the fact to draw from it the conclusion and to express the hope that there will be an endeavor to check this violence of party. Sir, what vicissitudes do wo not pass through in this short mortal career of ours? Eight years, or nearly eight years ago, I look my leave li¬ nally, and, ns I supposed, forever from this body. At that time I did not conceive of the possibility of ever again returning to it. And if my private wishes and particular inclinations, ond the desire,during the short remnant of my days to remain in repose and quiet could have prevailed, you would nover havo seen me occu¬ pying the seat I now occupy upon this floor.

Ifi-tf-T] Drug etore, Wwt KUig St., ian. unsolicited by mo, chose to designate me for this station, and I have come here, sir, in obe¬ dience to a sense of stern duty, with no person¬ al objects, no private vie'ws, now or hereafter, to gratify. I know, air, ihe joalonsies, tho fears, the apprehensions which aro engendered by the existence of that parly spirit to which I have referred; bnt if there bo in my hearing now, in or out of this Capiiol, any one who hopes, in his race for honors and elevation, for higher honors and higher elevation than that which he raay occupy, I beg him to believe that I, at least, will never jostle him in the pursuit of thoae honors or that elevation. I beg him to be perfectly persuaded that, if my wishes prevail, my wame shall never be nsed in com¬ petition with his. I beg to assure him that when my servico is terminated in this body, my mission, so far as respects the public affairs of this world and upon this earth, is closed, and closed, if my wishes prevail, forever. But, sir, it is impossible for us lobe blind to tho facts which aro daily transpiring beforo us. It ia imposaible for us not to perceive tbat party spir¬ it and future elevation mix more or lesa in all our deliberations. At a moment when the White House itself is in danger of conflagration, instead of all hands uniting to extinguish the fiames, we are contending about who shall be ita next occupant. When a dreadful crevasse has occurred, which threatens inundation and deitruetlon to all around it, wa ara contesting; and disputing about the profits of an estate whieh is ttirealened with total submersion. Mr. President, it is passion, passion—party, party, and iotemperancc—that in all 1 dread m the adjustment of tho great questions which un¬ happily at this time divide our distracted coun¬ try. Sir, at this mnment we have in the legis¬ lative bodies of this Capitol and in the Slates twenty-odd furnaces in full blast, emitting heat and passion, and intemperance, aud diffusing them throughout the whole extent of this broad land. Two moniUs ago all was calm in com¬ parison to the present moment. AU now is up¬ roar, confusion, and menace to the existence of the Union, and the happiness aud safety of this people. Sir, I implore Senators, 1 eulreat ihum, by all that they expect herealier, and by all that is dear to ihem here below, to repress ttie ardor of theae passions, to look lo iheir country, to its interests, to listen to the voice of reason—noi as ic shall be attempted lo he uttered by me, for I ara not so presumpmous as to indulge the hope that any thing 1 may say will avert the elTects which I Imve described, but to listen to their own reason, their own judgment, their own good sense, in determining npon what is best to be done for our country in the actual posture in which wo iind her. Sir, to ibis great object have my clforis been directed duriug this wnole session. I have cut myself ofl* from all the usual enjoyments of social life, 1 have confined myself almost entirely, with very few excep¬ tions, to my own chaniber, autl from the begin¬ ning of the session to the present time my thoughts have been anxiously directed to the object of iinding some plan, of proposing some mude of accommodation, whicli sliould once more restore the blessings of concord, harmony and peace to this great country. I am not vain enough to suppose that I have been successful in the accomplishment of this object, hut I have presented a scheme, and allow me to say to honorable Senators that, if they find in that plan any thing that is defective, if ibey lind in it any thing that is worlby of acceptance but suscepti¬ ble of improvement by amendment, it seems to tne that the true und patriotic course is not to denounce it, but to improve it—not to reject wiihout examination any project of uccommo- daiion having for its object iho rcsioraiion of harmony in this country, but to look at it to see if it be susceptible of elaboration or improve¬ ment, so as to accomplish tbe object which 1 indulge the hope is common to all and every one of ua, to restoro peaco and quiet and har¬ mony and happiness to this conntry. Sir, when 1 came to consider this subject, there were two or ibreo general purposes which it seemed to me lo be most desirable, if possi¬ ble, to accomplish. The one was, to settle all tho controverted questions arising out of the subject of slavery. It seemed to me to be doing very Uitle if wo settled one question and lt:ft other distracting quesiions unadjusted. It seemed to me to be doing but littie if we stopped one leak only in lhe ship of State, and left oth¬ er leaks capable of producing danger, if nol de¬ struction, to the vessel. I therefore turned my attention to every subject connected wiib the institution of slavery, and out of which contro¬ verted questions had sprung, lo sec if it were possible or practicable to accommodaic and ad¬ just the whole of ihem. Another principal ob¬ ject which attracted my aitention was, to en¬ deavor to form such a scheme of accommoda¬ tion as that neither of the two classes of States imo which our country is so unhappily divided should make any sacrifice of any great princi pie. I believe, sir, the series of resolutions which I have had the honor to present to ihc Senate accomplishes that object. Sir, another purpose which I had in view was this : I was aware of tbe difierence of opin¬ ion prevailing between these two classes of Stales. I was aware that, whilst one portion of the Union was pushing mailers, as it seemed to me, to the greatest extremity, anoiher por¬ tion of the Union was pushing ihetn to an op¬ posite, and perhaps not less dangerous exlremi- ly. It appeared .to me, then, that if any ar¬ rangement, any satisfactory adjustment could be made of ihc controverted questions between the two classes of Slates, thai adjustment, that arrangement, could only be successful and ef¬ fectual hy exacting from boih parlies some con¬ cessions—not of principle, not of principle at all, but of feeling, of opinion, in relation to mat¬ ters in cuniroversy between tbem. Sir, I believe the resolutions which I havc prepared fulfil that object. I believe, sir, that you will find, upon that careful, rational, and attentive examina¬ tion of them which I tbink they deserve, that neither party in some of them make any con¬ cession ai all; in others tbc concessions of for¬ bearance arc mutual; and, in ihe third place, in reference to the slavcholding States, there are resolutions making concessions to them by tho opposite class of States, witbout uny com¬ pensation whatever being rendered by them to the non-slave holding States. I think every one of these cbaracterisiica which I have assigned, nnd the measures which I proposed, is suscepii- bie of clear and satisfactory demonstration by an attentive perusal and critical examination of the resolutions themselves. Letus lake up the first resolution. Tiio firat resolution, Mr. President, as you are aware, relates to California, and it declares that California, with suitable limits, fught to be admitted as a member of tbis Union, witbout the imposition of any restriction eiilier to inter¬ dict or introduco slavery within her limits.— Well, now, is there any concession in ibis reso¬ lution by either party to ilie other? I know that gentlemen who come from slavcholding Stales say the North gets all it desires ; hut by \yhom does it gel ti ? Does it get it by any ac¬ tion of Congress ? If slavery be interdicted within the limits of California, has il been dono by Congress—by this Government ? Ko, sir.— Tbal intordiciion is imposed by California her¬ self. And has it not been the doctrine of all parties, ihut when a State is about to be admit¬ ted into the Union, the Slate has a right to de¬ cide for itself -whether it will cr will not have slavery within its limits 7 [Here ilio confusion arising fromthe pressure of the crou'd was so great thnt it was with difii¬ culty Mr. C. could be heard. And he suspend* cd his remarks until the lobbies hud been sufii¬ ciently cleared to secure a restoration of order.] Mr. CLAY resumed. The great principle, sir, which was in contest upon llie inemorab'e occasion of thc introduction of Missouri into the Union wns, wheiber it was competent or not competent for Congress to impose any restric¬ tion which should exist after she became a mem¬ ber of the Union ? We who were in favor of the admi.ssion of Missouri contended tlmt no sucb restriction should bo imposed. We con¬ tended that, whenever slic was once admitted into the Union, sho had all the rights and priv¬ ileges of any pre-existing State in the Union, and that among these rights and privileges one was to decide for herself whether slavery should or should not exist within her limits; that she had as much a right to decide npon the introduciion of slavery or its abolition as New- York had a right to decide upon the introduction or abolition of slavery ; and ihat, although sub¬ sequently admitted, sho stood amongst her peers equally invested witli all the privileges that any oneof tlie original tliirti-'cn States, bad a riglil to enjny. And so, sir, I think that those who have heen contending with so much earnestness and perseverance for the Wilmot Proviso ought to reiiect that, even if thcy could carry their object and adopt the proviso, it^cascs the mo¬ ment any State or Territory to which it was ap¬ plicable came to be admitted as a member of lho Union. Why, sir, no one contends now, no one believes tliat with regard lo those North¬ western States to which the ordinance of 17S7 applied—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan —no one can now believe but tbat any one of those States, if they tliought proper to do it,have just as rauch right to introduce slavery within their borders as Virginia 1ms to maintain the ex¬ istence of slavery within hers. Then, sir, If in the struggle for power and empire between the two classes of Slates a decision in California has taken 7»Iace adverse to the wishes of the Southern Stales, it is a decision not made by the General Government. It is a decision re¬ specting whicb they can utter no complaint towards the General Governmeni. It is a de¬ cision made by California herself; which Cali¬ fornia hnd unquestionably thc right to make under lho constitution of thc United States.— Thero is, then, in the first resolulion, according lo lhe observations which I made some time ago, a case wliere neither party concedes; where the question of slavery, neither its intro¬ duction nor interdiction, is decided in reference to the action of this Government; and if it has becn decided, it Ims been by a dilferent body- by a diff^erent power—by California itself, who had a right to make the decision. Mr. President, the next resolulion in the se¬ ries which I have ofiered I beg gentlemen can¬ didly now to look at. I was aware, perfectly awaro of the perseverance with which the Wil¬ mot proviso was insisted upon. I know that eve¬ ry one of the free Slates of this Union, without exception, hatl by its legislative body passed resolutions instructing their Senators and re¬ questing their Represenlalives to get that re¬ striction incorporated in any territorial govern¬ ment which might be established under the auspices of Congress. I knew how much, and I regretted bow much, the free States had put their hearts upon the adoption of this measure. In the second resolution I call upon thom to waive persisting in it. I ask thera for tho sake of peace and in tbe spirit of rautual forbear¬ ance to other members of the Union, to giva it up—to no longer insist upon it—to see, as they must sec, if their eyes are opan, the dangers which Uq ahead, if they peraevero in insisting upon it. Wheu 1 called upon thera in this re¬ solution to do this, Was I iiui bound to oiler, for a surrender of that favorite principle or meas¬ ure of theirs, some compenaaiioii, not as an equivalent by any means, but aomo compensa¬ tion iu tho spirit of mutual forbearance, which, aDiraating one side, ought at the same time lo actutato inc other side. VVell, sir, what is it that is ofiered ILtira ? It is a declaration of what I characterized, aud must still characterize, with greal deference to all those who entertain oppo¬ site opinions, as two truths, I will not say in¬ contestable, but to me clear, anil I think they ought to be regarded as indisputable truths.— What are they i The first :a, uial by law slave¬ ry no longer exists in any part of the acquisi¬ tions made by us from the Kepuhllc of Mexico; and the other is, ihat in our opinion, according lo the probabilities of liie case, slavery never will be iniroduced into any portion of lUe ter¬ ritories so acquired from iMexico. Now, t have heard it said that this declaration of wbai 1 call these two truths is equivalent to lhe enactment uf the Wilmot proviso. 1 have beard this as¬ serted, bui is (hat the case i U thu Wilmot proviso be adopted in Territorial Governments established over these countries acquired frum Mexico, it would be a positive enactment, a prohibition, an interdictiun as to ibe iutroduc¬ tion of slavery within them; but witfi regard to these opinions 1 had hoped, and I shall still in- dulgu the hope, that those who represent lho free Stales will be iuclinird noi lo insist—indeed It would by extremely dilUcult to give to ihesi dec4jiraiion3 the form of positive enactmenr. 1 had hoped that ifiey would be sausfied with the simple expression of the opinion of Con¬ gress, leaving it upon the basis of that opinion, without asking for what seems to me almost impracticable, if noi impossible—for any sub¬ sequent enactment to bu iniroduced into the bin by which Territorial Goverutnenis should he establislied. And i can only say that the second resolulion, even without the declaration ul these [two truths expressed, would bu much mure acceptable tu inu than with them; hut 1 could not forget that 1 was proposing a scheme of arrangement and compromise, uud I could not, therefore, depart, from ihe duly, which the preparation of the scheme seems to tne i<j impose of ofiering, whilst we ask the surrender on one aide of a favoriie measure, of ofiering lo the other side sL-ine compensation for thai surren¬ der or sacrifice. What are the truths, Mr. President? Tlie^firsi is, lliat by saw slavery does not exist witliin the territories ceded lo us by tbe republic of Mexico. It is a misfortune, sir, in the various weighty and irn]iorlanl topics whicb are connected with the subject that 1 am now adressing you upon, that any one of the five or six furnishes a Iheme for a lengthened (jpeecli, and I am therefore reduced lo the ne¬ cessity, 1 thmk, at leasi iu this stage of the discussion, of limiting inyseifralher to the ex¬ pression of opiniun*; than guing at any great length into thc discussion uf all ihese various topics. Now, with rcsiiect to the opinion here ex¬ pressed that slavery does not exist here in the Territories ceded to the Uniied States by Mex¬ ico, 1 can only refer to the fact of tho passage of lhe law by the Supreme Governmeni of Mex ico abolishing it, 1 thiuk in 1624, and to tbe subsequeni passage of a law by the legislalalive body of ^Mexico, 1 forget in what year, by which they proposed—what it is true ihey have never yet earned into full elfect—compensation to the owners of slaves fur the property of whicli they were sirijiped by the act of ubulition. 1' can only refer to ihe acquiescence of Mexico in the abolition of slavery from the time of its extinction down to lbe time of lbe treaty by which we acquired ihese countries. But -aii Mexico, so far as I know, acquiesced in the non existence uf slavery. Genllunien, 1 know, talk about lbe irregularity of tlic law by wbich that act was uccouiplished j but does it become us, foreign Power, to look into the mode by wbicb an object has been accoinplisheu by another foreign Power, when she herself is satisfied with what she has done, and when, too, she is the exclusive judge v;liclher un ob¬ ject which is local and municipal to herself has been or has noi been accomplished in conformi¬ ty wilb her fundamental laws 1 Why, ^lexico upon this subject ahowed lo the last moment her anxiety, in lhe documents which were laid before the country upon lhe subject of the ne- ^iotiation of this treaty by Mr. Trist. Amongst tbem you w'lll find tiiis passage in one of his despatches : " Among the points which came under dis- cusion Was the exclusion uf slavery from all I lerriiory which should pass from iMexico. In lhe course of their remarks on the subject, I was told thai if it were proposed to tbe people of the Uniied Slates lo part wiih a poriion of lheir territory, in order thai the imjuisition should be therein established, the proposal conld not excite stronger feelings of abhorrence than those awakened in Mexico by the prospect of tbe introduction of slavery in any territory parted wiih by her. Our cuiiversntion on this lopic was perfectly frank, aud no less friendly; and the more efi'eclive upon their minds, inas¬ much as I was enabled tu say, with perfect se¬ curity, that, although their impressions respect¬ ing the practical fact uf slavery, as il existed in the Uniied Slates, were, I had no doubt, en¬ tirely erroneous, yet there was probubly no ilif- ferer.ce between myindtvidual views and se.iii- menls on slavery, considered in itself, and ttio^c whicb they enlertaiued. I concluded by ^Siir- ing lhem that tbe bare mention of thc ?ubj'-'cl in any treaty lo wbicli ihe United Slaii s wcrv a party, was an absolute impossibility ; that no President of the Uniied States would dare to present any such treaty lo the Senate ; and thai if it were in their power to nfi'er me the whole territory desjrihctl in our project, increased tenfold in value, and, iu addition to that, cov¬ ered a fool thick all over with pure gold, upon tho single condition that slavery should bo ex¬ cluded therefrom, I could not entortain the oiler for a moment, nor think even of communica¬ ting it to Washington. Tbe matter ended in their being fully satisfied ibai this topic ivas one not to be loiiclied, and it was dropped, with good feeling on boib sides." Tbus you find, sir, lliat in thc very act, in the very negotiation by wbicli the treiity was con¬ cluded, ceding to us the countries in question, tbe diplomatic representatives of the Mexican republic urged the abhorrence wiili which Mex¬ ico would view the inirodnelion ot tlavery in¬ to any poriion of tlie territory which she \ra* about to cede to lhe Unilcil Slates. The clause of prohibition was not inserted iu consequence of the lirm ground taken by Mr. Trisr, and bis declaration that it was nn utter iinjiossibiliiy to mention liic subject. I take it then, sir—aud availing myself of tbe benefit of the discu-ssions wbich took place on a formor occasion on this ipiesiion, ami which I ihink have left t!ie wliole country under the im¬ pression of the non-existence of slavery within tbe whole of the icnitory in lbe ceded territo¬ ries—1 take it for gra'Ued that whut I have saiti, aided by tbe rcileciion of gentlemen, will satisfy lhem of tlmt first truth, lli,it slavery docs noi exist there by law, unless slavery was car¬ ried there tlic moment the treaty was ratified by the two partiyg, and under the operatiou of the constitulion of thc Uniied State?. Now, really, I <;nust say, tbal upon thc idea that co instanti upon the consummation ot tbe treaty the constitution of the United States sjiread it¬ self over tbo acquired territory anil carried along with it lbc institution of slavery, the proposi¬ tion is so irrcconcilcabic with any comprehen¬ sion or reason thai I possess, that I hardly know- how to meet it. Why, these United States consist of thirty States. Ill fifteen of tbem there was slavery, in fifteen of tbem slavery did not exist. Well, how cau it bo argued that tho fifieen slave Stales, by the operation of the constitution of the United Slates, carried into the ceded territo¬ ry tl.oir institution of slavery, any mote than it can be argued on the other side that, by the op¬ eration of the same constitution, the fifteen free Stales carried into the ceded territory the princi]>le of freedom which tbey from policy have chosen to adopt within their limits ? Why, sir, let me imagine that Mexico bad not abol¬ ished slavery there at atl—let me suppose that it was existing in point of fact and in virtue of law, from ilic shores of tlie Pacific to those of the Gulf of Mexico, at the moment of thc ces¬ sion of these countries to us by the treaty in question. Willi what patience would genile- nien coming from slavcholding Stales IJ.stcn to any argument whicb should be urged by the free States, that, notwithstanding the existence of slavery within tbose territories, the constitu¬ tion of the United Slates abolished it the mo¬ ment it operated upon and took etfect in the ceded territory ? Well, is thero not just as mucb ground to contend that, wlfere a moiety of tho States is free and ibe other moiety is slave holding, the principle of freedom which prevails in tbo ono class shall operate as mucb as the principle of slavery which prevails in the oth¬ er ? Can you come, amidst this conflict of in- lerests, principles, and legislation which pre¬ vails in the two parts of the Union, to any oth¬ er conclusion than that which I understand to he the conclusion of tho public law of thc world, of reason, and justice: that the status of law, as it existed at the moment of lbe con¬ quest or the acquisition, remains until it is al¬ tered by the-sovereign aulhority of the conquer¬ ing or acqnirinj power ? That is the great principle which you can scarcely turn over a a page of public law of tbe world without find¬ ing recognised and every where esiablished.— The laws of Mexico, as they existed at lho mo¬ ment of the cession of the ceded territories to this country, remedned tha laws umd, and un¬ less, they were altered by that new sovereign power which this people and these territories come under in consequence of the ircaiy of ces¬ sion to the United States. 1 think then, Mr, President, that, wiihout trespassing furiher, or exhausting the stock of strengih which I have, und for whichi shall have abundant use in the progress uf ilic argu- Uient, 1 may leave that part of the subject, with two or three observations only upon the general power which X think appertains to tbis Government on ibe subject of slavery. Sir,_before 1 approacli that subject, allow mc to say thai, in my humble judgment, the insti¬ tution of slavery presents two questions totally distinct, and resting on entirely uitierenigrounds —slavery within the Siate^J, audslavery wiihout the Slates. Congress, the General Government, has no power, under the Consiltulion of tbe United States, to touch slavery wiihin lbe Slates, excepi in the three specified particulars in thai insirumenl: to adjust ilie subject of re- preseniatiun: to impose taxes wheu a syatem of direct taxation is made ; und to perform tlie duly of surrendering, or causing to be delivered up, fugitive slaves that may escape from ser¬ vice whicli they owe in slave States, and take refuge in free Slates. And, sir, 1 am ready to say, that if Congress were to attack, within the Slaies, the institution of slavery, for the purpose of the overthrow or extnictiun of slavery, that then, Mr. President, my voice would be for war; Ihen would be made a euse which \i-oiild justify, in the aighi of God and in tlie presence of the nations of the earth, rcsistanci;, on the part of the sla^e States to such un uncoiistim- lional and usurped altempi as would be made ail the supposition which 1 have staled. Then we should he acting in deience of our rights, our domicils, our property, our safety, our lives; and then, I ihink, would be furnished a case in which the slavcholding States would bo jus¬ tified, by all considerations which penam the happiness and security of man, tu employ every insirument which God or na¬ ture had placed in their hands to resist such an attempt on the part of thu free States. And then, if unfortunately civil war sliould break out, and we should present lo the nations uf tlie earth the spectacle cf one poriion of ibis Union endeavoring lo subvert an instilution in violation of the constitution and the most sa¬ cred obligations which can bind men; we ahould present the spectacle in whieh u'c thoti'd bave the sympathies, the good wishes, and the desire for our success by all men wbo love jus¬ tice and truth. Far dilFcrent, 1 fear would he our case—if unhappily we should be plimged into civil war—if the two parts of this country should bo placeil in a position hostile toward each other iu order to carry ."jlavery into thr: uew territories acquired from Mexico. Mr. Presidcnl, wc have heard, ull of U3 have road of the ellbris uf France lo propagate—what, oil the coniinent of Europe ? Not shivery, sir; not alavery, but the rights ol man ; and wc know llie fate of tier ellbri in the work of that kind. But if thc two portions uf this Conlcdcracy should unhappily bo involved in civil wur, in whicii the (jfibrt on the one side would be to restrain thc in¬ troduciion uf slavery into new territories, and on the other side to force its iniruduction there, what siieciBclo ahould we present lo the comemiilatioii of astonished mankind I An efibrt not to propa¬ gate right, bull must say—though 1 trust ii wiil Oe uiiderttoud lo he said with nu desire to excite Ieeling—an etrort to propagate wrong in the terri¬ tories thus aciiuired Irom Mexico ^ li wuuld be a war in which we should have no sympathy, no good wishes, and in which all mankind would be againsi ua ; for, trum the coniincULcmenl ol thc revolution down to the preeeni time, we have con¬ stantly reproached our llrilish aiieesiors tor the in- troduciioii of slavery mto ibis country ; and alli)w me to s.iy that, in my opinion, it is one uf the best defences wluL-h <'au be made lo preserve the in¬ stitution in liiis Country, thut it was forced upon us tigiunst thc wishes of our ancesiory, our own colonial ancestors, and by the cupidily of our Uritiaii commercial ariccsujrs' The power then, .Mr. President, in my opiniun —and 1 will extend it to the in'.roduction as well as the prohibition of slavery in tlic new territories —I ihmk (lie power dow f-\i,4t in Congress, and I tiiink there is that inipuriant distinction between slaveiy outside ot ihe States and slavery inside ol the Stales, ihal all outside is debatable, all inside uf ilifi Slates IS uiidebatable. 1 he Governmein has no rii;ht to touch the in=timtiou wi'.hiii the States ; but whether she has, and .o what exteiu she has the right ur not to timch it outeidi: of die Slates, id a question which is debatable, tmd upon whith men may liuiies:ly and tairly diii'er, bm which, decided Iiowever it may be decided, tar¬ nishes, in my judgment, no juat oecasiou for breaking up this happy and glorious Uniun ul' ours. Now, I am not going lo take up tlrat pariotlljc ' subject whicii relates tu tlie power ot Congress to legislate either within tins District—(1 shall have occasion to make sonic observations ii[)on tliai when 1 approach the resolution rcla'.mg to the Dislricl)—either within this District or 'he Terri¬ tories. But 1 must say, in a tew wuius. that I think thereare two sources of power, either ut wliich is, ill my judgment, sullicicnt to warruni the e.vercise ot tlie power, if it was deemed prop¬ er lo e.vercjsc il, ciilicr tu iniroduce or to keep out slavery, oui9:de the States, v.-itlim tlie Territu- i\Ir, President, I shall not take up time, ot whieh already so much has betn consumed, loshow lliat, ficeordmg to my sense ot the coiiiiiiuiion ol ihc IJiiiied Stales, or rather according lo the sense 111 whieli the clause lias been mlerpreied for the hist lifiy years, the cianse whieli coidl-rs on Con¬ gress tlic puwcrio regulate the Tcrriiurios and oihi-T property of tiie I.'nilcd Slates conveys the autlioruy. -Mr. President, wiih my worthy friond l"rom Michigan—and 1 usu tliu term in ihc best and most emphatic sense, for 1 believe ho and I have known each other longer than he or I have known any other Senator in ihis hall—I cannot concur, ai¬ ihough 1 entertain the most profound respect lor thc upiniuiislie has advanced upon tlie subjCL-l ad¬ verse lo my own ; hut 1 musl say, when a poiiu IS seuled by all the elewiemary writers ol our couniry, by all tlie depr.;:iricnts of our Govern¬ ment, legislative, cxccmiVf, and judicial—wlien il has bceu so seitifd (or » period o( hJiy tears, and never was seriously disturbed till rcccnily. that I think, if we are to regard any thing as fi.xt-d and scliled under lho adniinisiration of Ihi^= con- sliiutioii of oms.il is a question whirh has liiU;: been invariably nnd uniturmly seuled in a p,irliL-- ular way. Or are v.-e to come to this conclusion. thai I'.oihing. noihing on earth is settled uiidi-r this coiisiiluiion, but that every thiUjU' is unsettled, Mt. I'resident, ^ve havc to rt.'collect it is very possible—sir, it is quite Hkcly—that when thai constitution wns framed thc application ol il to sucb Ti-rritorics as Loiiisianna, Florida, Cali¬ fornia, and New Mexico, wu'^ never wjiiiin tbe contemplation of its frainers. It will be recol¬ lected that when tbc eonsiitution was framed the wbole country north-west of lbc river Ohio was unpeopled ; anil il will be recollected also that tbo exercise nnd the assertion of the po er to make governments for Territories in tin infant state are, in the nature of the jiowcr. temporary, and to terminate wliencvcr they have acquired a population compelent for sclf- governmeiit. Sixty thousand is thc nuinber fixetl by the ordinance of 17S7. Now, sir, r.-- colieci ihal when this constitution v. as adojited, and ihal territory was unpeopleil, is it possible that Congress, lo whom il luul been ceded by the States for the common benefit of thc ceding State and all other members uf the Union—is il possible that Congress has no viglit whatever to declare what description of settlers should occujiy the public lands ? Suppo.^e thcy took up thc opinion tbat tbe introduction of slavery would enhance the va)ut' of tin-' land, and en¬ able lhem to command for the public treasury a greater amoui't from thai source of revenue than by the exclusion of slaves, would ihoy not bave Itad the right to say, in fixing the rules, regulations, or whatever you choose to call them, fur the government of that Territory, lliat any one thai chooses to bring slaves may bring them, if it will enhance the value of the property, in the clearing and cultivation of the soil, and add to the importance of the couniry? Or take the reverse : suppose Congress niiglit think that a greater amonnt of revenue would be derived from the waste lands beyond thc Ohio river bythe interdiction slavery, would they not have a right 10 interdict it? Why, sir, remcmbLT how these settlcmcnls were made, anil what w;is their progress. Thcy begaii with a few. I beli tlmt about Marieua thc first settlcmpiit was made It was a settlement of some two or three hnnd. red persons from New England. Cincinnati,1 be¬ lieve, was the next point where a settlement was iiiailc. It was setlled perhaiis by a fi^w per¬ sons from New Jersey, ur some niher State.— Did those few settlers, thu mtuneni they arrived there, ncquirc sovereign rights 1 Had those few pcrsoiib power to dispose of ihcsc territo¬ ries .' Had they even jiower to govern ihem¬ selves—a handful of men who csiahli?bed themselves at Marietta or Cincinnati f No, sir; lbe contemplation of the constitution no dtuiht was, that iniismuch ns this powi*r was tempo¬ rary, us it is applicable to unpeopled lerritory, anil as that territory will become peopled grad¬ ually, insensibly, until it reaches a population which may entitle it to the benefit of self gov¬ ernment, in the mean lime it is rigbl and prop¬ er that Ccn{.rc5s, who owns the soil, sliould regulate the settlement of the soil, nnd govern the seiilert on the soil, until those selllcrs ac¬ quire number and capacity to govern tbom selves. Sir, I will not further dwell upon this part of the subject; but I said there is anotiier sourc of "power equally satisfactory, equally conclu¬ sive in my mind ns thnt which relates to thc territories, nnd that is ibo Irealy-niaking p^wer —the acquiring power. Now, I put it to gen tlemen, is there nol at this moment a power somewhere existing either to admit or excludi slavery from lho ceded territory '/ It is not an annihilated power. That is impossible. It a subsisting, actual existing power ; and whero does il exist ? It existed, I presume no one will controvert, in Mexico prior to the cession of theae territories. Mexico could have abol¬ ished slavery or introduced slavery either in California or New Mexico. That musi he con- ceded. Who will controvert this position?— Well, Mexico bas parted from the territory and from the aovercigniy over the territory ; and to whom did she transfer it? She transferred the territory and the sovereignly of tbe territory to the Government of tho United Stales. Tho Government of the United States, then, ac¬ quires in sovereignty and in territury over Cal¬ ifornia and New Mexico, all, eiiher in sover¬ eignty or territory, iliat Mexico held ii, Califor¬ nia or New Mexico, by the cession of tliose ter¬ ritories. Sir, dispute that wbo can. The pow¬ er exista or it does not; no one will contend for its annihilation. It existed in Mexico. No cne, I think, can deny that, Mexico alienates the sovereignty over thc territory, and lier alienee is the Government ofthe United Siatei. Thc Government of the United States, then* l>osse3se3 all power which Mexico posicssed over the ceded Territories, and the Governmeni of tbe Uniied Slates can do in reference to them —within, I admit, cerlain limits of the conali- tution—whatever Mexico could bave done.— Tbere are prohibitions upon the power of Con¬ gress within the constitulion, which prohibitions, 1 admit, must apply to Congress whenever she legislaies, whether for the old Statea or for new Territories; but, wiihin those prohibitions, tho powers of tbe United States over the ceded ter¬ ritories are co-extensive and equal to the pow¬ ers of Mexico In the ceded territories prior to the cession. Sir, in regard to ibiri treaty-making power, ull who have any occasion to examine into its char acler and lu lbe piibsible exlent lo which it nmy be carried, know tiiat it ia a power unlimited iu Its mitiirc, except in so far as uny limitation may be lound iu thc Cunolitmiou uf lho United Stales ; and upon this nubject there is no limituiiuu which I>re.sciibert tbe extent lo wliich lbe powers (.huuld be oxcicised. 1 kuow, air, it is argued that thero is no giant uf power iu the Conatitution iu spe- citic iL-i-Tu.-i uver the subject of blavery Hijy where: aud there is no giuul intho Cou.ili'tntion to Ciingiess speciliciilly over the .-ntijecl of it VUbt variety of matters upon which tho ptiwers ol Cuiigres.smay un.pieslinnablyopcKile.

Unl, sir, I Ii.-iva heen drawn ofi" to far from lho second rcsnlutiun—not fnmi tho object ofil, but from a particular view of it—ihat it has iilmoi-l gone out of my recoUeclion. The re-jolulion r>^- ^crts :— " That as slavery doea not exist by law, and ia' not likely to he introduced into any uf the territory- ar- ijuired by the Uuiterl States from thc Uepuhiic of .Mexico, it ia inexpedient ior Congress to provjcie by¬ law eitlier (ur its introduetion into or ox<:Iusion from any part ofthe suid territory ; and thnt appro|iriatu Territorial Guvernments oujiht to be established by Congress in all of lhe said territory, not nssii:ned na tho boundaries ot the jiroposed Slates of Cahlitniin, withuut the adoption of any rcatricliou or conditiou un the subject ot'slavery.'" The oilier truth whicii I respectfully and with great ilefercncc conceive lo exist, and whicli i-; announced in this resolulion. is, that .-slavery is uot lik'dy to he introduced into any <d" lhe!=e ter- litoiies. \\'ell, sir. is nol ihal a fact f Is iheie h miinber who hems mo that will nr,i coufirm lhu l.irt/ Whut lias occurred within lhe ia-'- rhreu niontli.v .'
