(Here llic Socrrlury, nn llie call of Mr. Calliniio, read 'liu twn pdiiiuna.) Such, re- Hiiilii-d Mr. C„ isibo language liclu towards und mini; tlir p.-onliiir in.iitulinn. nf llie Suulli, tlini on tlir nitiintcnnncoof which the vory esialenco of llic slave holding Stales do- punda, is pmnniiuccd in be sinful and udimi*, in the eight uf Gml and man ; uud tbia with ay.leiniitin design nf rciiilcriug us baleful llie eyes nf ilia world, with a view In a oipral rru.ailo against ua nnd our intlitn- liona. This tooi in the legialalivn ball* nf ihe IJuinn ; erratrd by these cnnft-deruled State*, for the belter proteclianuf tlicir |>ence, ilieir safety and their respective inatitution, ; nnd yet we, the representative, of twelve of lliene sovereign Hinic. against whom this deadly war is waged, are expected In eil here in silence, hearing nursolvca andoiir cousli- luentailov after day denounced, without ut tering a word,—if we but uprii uur lips, llie eliargonf afiiinlinn ia resounded mi all sides, nml wc are held up a. seeking to aggravate tho evil which wc resist. Every reih-i ting mind must see in all this, a siatu uf things deeply and dangoniutiiy diseased. 1 dn not helmig, said Mr. C. In the Rchnnl winch holds thnt aggression is tn he met by i-oncrs-ion■ Mine is the oppo-iie cretil. which teaches that encroachments must be met at tho beginning, uml that those who act on the opposite principle are prepared to be come slaves. In this case, iu pnrlicul.tr, I hold concession or compromise lo bo fatal.— If we concede lilt inch, concession would fol low concession— compromise would follow comptomisa. until nor ranks would be so bro ken ihaieHc-ciiml resistance would lie impos sible. We must meet the enemy on the frmi- lier. w-itli a fixed determination of maintain ing our position nt every liazord. Consent in receive these Insulting peiiiiiine, and the next demand will be that they bo referred 10 a committee in order that they may lie de liberated and nricd upon. At Ihe last session we were modestly asked to receive I hem, sim ply tn lay them on tho tnlilr, without any view to ulterior notion. I then told tho Sen ator from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Hncliannnn) who strongly urged that course in the senate, that it was n position that could not he main tained ; as the argument in favor of acting on the petition* if wc were hound lo receive, ennld not ha resisted. I then said that the next step would he to refer the petition to a committee, and I already ace indication* that sill'll is now llie inlcniinn. If we yield, that will lie followed by another, nntl we would thus proceed step by step lo the final ennsu- inaltnn of llic object of these petitions. Wo ore now told that the most eil'eeliuil mode of nrrc.tiric Iho progress of Ahnlhiun i, lo ron- son it down, nml with this view it is urged that the petition* ought to lie relurrml to n committee. That Is the very ground which was taken at tho last eession in the oilier house, bill inslend of arresting its progress it ho. since advanced wow rapidly than ev er. The most unipie.iionnble right inay be rendered ilnubllul, if once uilndlled tn lie a subject ttf controversy, and that would be ilia case iu the piesent instance. The subject it beyond the jurisdiction of Congreas—ihev have no right to touch if hi any shape nr form or tn make it llto subject uf deliberation or discussion. In opposition to lilt* view it is urged that Congress is bound by the Coi'siiiiition to re ceive petitions in every ense and on every ■itlij'ct, win tlisr within itscnnsiiiuiiurinl com petency nr not. I hold Ihe doctrine In lie ab surd, nnd do solemnly In-lievo, dial ii would ho ns easy to prove that il hnsthc right to a- Imlisli slavery, n* that it is bound to receive pciilion* for that purpose. The very exist ence of the rule that requires a (|ticsiiun In he put ou the receptions nf petitions, is con clusive tn show, that there is no such ohligii- Inun him, or where there is more kind inten tion. Il lifts been u standing rule from the i tinn In him in sickness or infirmities o. age. commencement nf the Government, and jCnuipure his coitd-lioo whb die tenant* of clearly shows the sense of those who formed idle pour Ileuses in Ihe mi*i civilixrd I-Ol die Coiistiliiiion nnlliis jsiiiif. The question than of Eonqie—look at the tick, uiidllt* old on the reception Would bo ab6iird, if n. i* and infirm slave nu one baud, in llic liitd.. of contended wc ore bound In receive; lint I do : his family and Irieuds, under die kiud »u|ier- nut iulend lo urgue the qurilioii; I discussed 1 intending enro of hi* mnsier and tnistre**, 11 fully nl the last session, mid llic e^ gunienis | and compare ii wiiL- die forlorn *nd wretclt- tlien advanced neither liavo nor can be an- t*d condition ufliie pauper in die poor iv-uM-., Already it lias taken possession of the palpi!, ■ill'ihe schools, anil to a considerable ament of the press; those great instrument* by whMi the mind of Iho rising generation will b* formed. However sound the great body of the Mm slave holding Stale* are nt present, in the course of s few year, they will be succeeded by llioso who will have been'tnuglit lo hate the people nnd institutions nf nearly one half of this Union, with a hatred more deadly' •ban one hnsliln nation ever entertained to wards n o'slier. It is easy to ace die end.— Ilj iho neceasnry course of events, tf e»A W- themsolves, we must become, finally, two people. It is impossible under the deadly imircil which must spring npTielween tba two groat sections, if the present causes sic (lerinitted to upernle unchecked, that *re should continue under ihe same political system. The conflicting element, would burst die Union assmnlor as powerful a. are ■he link* which hold il lugpther. Abolition nnd the Uninn cannot co-exist. As the friend ofthe Union t openly proclaim it, and the sooner it is known the better. The former luay now be controlled, but in a short time it will be beyond the power of man toarrosl Ihe •course of even!*! Wc of the South will it«i,' cannot snrfenderour institutions. Tottiaia- tain the existing relation* between-the two races, inhabiting that section of the Uuion, is indispensable to the pence and happiness of laitli. It cannot be subverted without drench ing the country ill blood, and extirpating on* or the other of llie races. Ho il good or bad, it has grown up with uur society and ir.iiiu- tiout, and i. an interwoven with them, that tat deafiy it would be in .destroy' us at a peo ple. But let me not be understood as admit ting even by implication that the existing re- lr.iii.na between the two races in th* alavs- Imliling State, is nn evil—fur otliarwta* ; I- Imld it in bo a gnnd. ns it tia* thn. far proved itself In bo tn bulb, slid will continue to provg- ,n. if out disturbed by the fell spirit of abuli- i inn.
