LAMBERTH HOPKItfS, WlBSMVSE & CBJEHISSIOI MERCHANT, AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. 7, ‘bi. ly—« Sr. STEhSkkSSaid: .. : Mr. Chairman: on takihg the fioCE, off this occasion, it was not my purpose, nttr is it my purpose now, to reopen or to go into a discus sion of the general ffiefitspf the Kansas Nebras ka bill which was passed at the last session of Congress. The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Mace) came forward On yesterday, and, in a ve ry formal manner, announced the determination for the future, opponents to that measure. He peal is their policy. Prohibition Of slavery is un to be put upon Kansas and Nebraskfc.-^- I considered the merits of the question as set tled at the last session. I consider them as settled now-. Revolutioil never'goes backwards —always forward. The argument in and out of Cchgress, and throughout tho Uhion, on the great movement made by the National Legis- latnreon this quession, was then conclusive;. and; by the passage of that bill we took a grand step id that progress which characterizes this age- there acker will be any backward iriorii- ment in this niatter=at least in my. opinion.— I have no apprehensions On that score; and I repeat, thatl do not risefor the purpose of open ing, or again canvassing, the merits of tho Nebraska-Kansas bill. But the gentleman from Indiana gave utterance to some remarks tq which I deem some reply propeb Hfi SCc’rhcd to think and argne that tho late elections at the North conclusively showed that the pnblic sen timent there, by the late elections, had passed the sentence of public condemnation Oh the bill referred to, and demanded its immediate re peal. He spoke of that as a fiied fact The gentleman from Maine, [Mr. Wasliburn] who succeeded him in the discussion, indulged id the same line of argument. Now, I Wish to state to these gentlemen, to this committee, and the country, that I draw no such inference from the iate elections. It is true that the results were reiy astonishing to some, though not to me, and took many men, in and oat of power, hy surprise. ' , _ I ask the honorable gentleman from Indiana how he reaches the conclusion that .these elec tions set the seal of the public condemnation upon the friends of the great movement of tho last session? I believe, Mr. Chairman, that thefe Was no man more zealous in his opposition to the bill then passed, not e^en excepting the gentleman from IndianahimEolf, than yourself; and you Will pardon me, sir, the illustration.— Even you, sir, from the city of brotherly love, are no longer returned to the seat which you have filled with so much ability, and in which .you have voted with tne on many qaestions of pablfc policv^alwaysexcepting this particular measure, h o wl ask the gentleman from Indiana Whether that ia a proof that the people pfPhila- adelphia agree with him and with you; Mr.Chair- man ? I might argue, following his line, thatjtbis, year defeat, was the seal of reprobation on your course. But, sif, the truth is, your course on that bill, I take it, had but little to 'do in your defeat one way of the other. Again, Mr. Chair man, my honorable friend from another district in Pennsylvania, who site to my right, [Mf. Heieter,] with Whom I had a conversation at the last Ec-sioU just pfevious to th passage of tho bill, and Who Was quite as iCalous in his oppo sition as yon or tho gentleman from Indiana, has also been defeated in the canvass for re- election. Ido not recollect the majority against him. I have not attempted the Herculaneum excavating process of ascertaining the depths to which he has been fadfted in this popular irruption—the majority against him I do not know, bnt it was decided. The gentleman from the first district of Pennsylvania, [Mr. Florence,] who voted for and ardently sup ported the measure, has been re-elec tcdi I also see that the gentleman from tho Berks district [Mr. Jones] has been again returned. Another gentleman from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Packer,] and an advocate of tho Kansas Nebraska bill, ha* been returned. In fine, I find that some who have Voted for it and somo who have voted against it have been returned to Congress. Why, sir, In Pennsylvania a gentleman ran for Governor who was known to be opposed to tho bill, and a gentleman ran for Canal Commis sioner on the opposite ticket, and was known to be in favor of the measure* Tbe opponent of the bill was elected by thirty seven thousand majority, While its advocate was elected Canal Commissioner Ly, I believe, one hundred thou sand majority. NflW, What is to ho legitimately inferred from this slate of things? Certainly, not that tho people of Pennsylvania had put their seal of reprobation upon Nebraska. I should infer that the Nebraska qaesliwn had nothing at very little US do with the election— it was an element only in tbe canvass. Now, when the gentleman wishes to appeal to tbo results of an election as evidence of anything, ho must admit that the question claimed to be decided by it ought to be the sole, leading and paramount/ question in the canvass. If such be tbe case, appeal can be made to the result. But when you find a Nebraska man elected Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania by ono hundred thousand majority, and an anti-Ne braska man elected Governor by thirty-seven thousand majority, it simply shows that this oueation could havo had very little to do with the results. How was it in Massachusetts ? There is tho honorable gentleman from that State, [Mr. Goodrich,] who was alluded to yes- todKyih dffWicotion with tho gentleman from Indiana, Ah Associated with thoso who {pit up the Kansas and Nebraska Emigration Society. There it another, [Mr. Elliott,] who bathe here and took the lead in favor of tho repeal of tho ftrgftivc slave law; and tho gentleffiah who sits immediately In my rear, [M. Walley,] who,was distinguished in his opposition to tho bilL-aU were sealons in their opposition to tne brlr, ill were candidates for ra-oleetion, and all were left at home. All, sir, foil before the destroying angel whieh came in the night, and they knew notwhenee foe Wow came. It eertainly did not oome frort,yhb’fffiaAsfr ‘tO.whiphthegentle man from Irfffiana" alludes, for if the am-No- braakaites strffck down suoh men as those to whom I have referred, they did not back their friends ns we do onrs down Sonth. Mr. Chairman, now let mo tom to the State .of Hlinois. I allude to her with pleasure, for I believe there was not a single Northern State where foe principles of the Nebraska bill were ao opdh and widely promulgated and considered, And So fairly represented and met as in that State. The distinguished Senator who had the charge, of foe bill in the Senate, stood in the front of foe battle* never giving ground, never yielding an inoh, and foe distinguished and gallant gentleman npon this floor, [Mr. Richard son,] who had charge of ithere, met the people .of D.iinois.pVexy wWo on IlS riMfrfts. . If there is a State North which teay be appealed td as one where there was anything like a contest on foe question, it was Illinois. And what was tho result? There were bnt three men from that State who voted for foe Nebraska bill, apd S oW we have four Nebraska men-from Illin6i?. 1 seems Nebraska gained strength .by. discdSs iOn there. We haa but three men before, anc heW We.havo got four. Mr. Washbnrne, of Illinois. Will tho man tell-me .what the popular vote of was upon the Nebraska question ? Mr. Stephens.' The only test of the votoiu foe entiro State of Hlinois that npon that question, was npon the State Treas urer, and the Nebraska candidate carried it by a Uurge majority—three th usafid Majority, I have-heard. In Congress Nebraska gained one member; .. - - . Mr. Waqhbflffr. f fonst 'cdWe'fit.iny friend from Georgia in, regard to tho fact of the vote in Illinois upon State Treasurer. It is true that Mr. MoOre> foe Nebraska man, was elected, I have seen it stated, by aboat .eighteen hundred majority. But it should be stated, ft connec tion with that, fact, that foe man ‘ Whb ran against him—Mr. Miller—wax not known in foe southern pirtof foe Stpte as a candidate, and was not voted for it All iff that part of the State. [Langhter.] Mr. Stephens. I suppose not . Mr. Woshbnrn. And I will say farther, that if Mr. Miller had received his party Vdte in that part of foe State where he was not known as a candidate, he wonld have been elected by somo five or six thousand majority. Mr. Stephens. Well, sir, I do not think the people of Hlinois could have been exceedingly offended and ontraged hy this measuro, if they did not take the trouble to have their candid ates in opposition known. And yet, the gentle man from Hlinois wantfc to Bare ns believe that if they could only have haa their candidates known, they wonld bare beon elected by five or six thousand majority. Mr. Washburn. I will state to the gentle man that the candidate regularly nominated declined, and the other candidate was brought outoniy.a short time before the election. Mr. Stepa'cns: Then I can only say that tbeir candidate ran before ine p'dpuldt deifipn- stration had got hold of him, [laughther] dtid it only shows that the first candidate saw tho band writing npon tbe wall, and was more pru dent than foe last one. [Renewed Laughter.] Mr. Richardson. With foe perm,issten of foe gentleman from Ge.drgld, I will idphe .a single fittitection. My colleague states.foatMr.Mooro was elected treasurer of Illinois, because his opponent was not known as a candidate in foe southern part of foe State. Sir, foe facte are against my colleague. It is true that in some of foe Southern counties he received bnt few votes; jlnt it is also true, that in all foe connties h.o received some, so that it was known that Mr. Miller #SS a candidate in all the connties in fobSUtA. While i ain hp, l Wdht id S&W. fob rCdSdn frhy foe first candidate declined. He was nom inated as foe Republican, Fusion candidate, and was brought out by that party. And I hesitate not here to declare foot if he hod continued in this field he wonld have been beaten by more foafl toil .thousand votes. But foe candidate Wnd tfas bfdiight out attest was indorsed by all foe leading WhigS id foe State; a§ a tibund, rad ical Whig. t Hq waS run by the Whigs and sup* somo at Mr. Dlx: some at the turning out of - . R^59Sf.£ 3 - oftho ?^W-?jsLlg NUMBER II. Bronson; somo at tho drganlsatlon of the Cab inet—sorhe at ofio thing, and some at another. Somo said oho th'lhg, and somo another. There was gonoral discontent and djssatisfactioh-— whether rightfully or wrongfully n fs 'hot my purpose now to discuss. Bert foe Administra tion had pursuod suoh a bourse as to make a largo party of malephto'hts—men bent upon breaking oh thfhgk—foie class foe North Caro lina than'’elutefoe ‘ Ramshacklesfoe designo- ti6n )s a good one. Yes, sir, it was Genoral Malcohtoht and foe groat party of tho ‘ Ram- shackles’ that triumphed at tho North at foe lato elections, and not the onti-Nebr&skaits. But the gentloman from Indiana refered to the Sonth. He said he wanted the members from tho North to get on the same high stand that the Representatives of foe South occupied. I suppose he intendod what ho said in this chh- neotion as a compliment to the Sonth, inas much as ho wanted his people to occupy foe same position; but if I comprehend what he said, I do not receive it as a compliment He said that Southern members npon this floor first ascertained the wishes, and then voted upon all S ueations, as their constituents wished—that joy would rtaud by foe interests of their con- Stifoentsaqd represent their, wishes.—Sir, I say to foe gentleman that I think ho is just as muoh mistaken in this as he was in reference fo fob popular elections of foe North. I can speak, however, only for myself. It is Hot true, that; in my coarse as a member of this House, Hook solely to what my oonstitnents wish. The first question that addresses itself to. my Mind, is, firhefoet apy measure presetted hero, is tight. I Sena no letter^ hoifle t6 khow what they foiflk there aboat it, I never have and never shalL I consnlt my owii judgmentand act accordingly. If I think a measure is right, that it is proper, that it is jusL I vdto for it; and if I do not, I vo’te pgainst it Upon fob merits of every ques tion I ate responsible to my cohstiuents; and whod I go homo to them, an intelligent and pa triotic people, if they do not approve my con duct, they can send opotber ip my place. Sir, I believe that that is foe general position of Southern men. Hat foe goPtleteift Ikys that whbn Southern teen’s measures oro vetoed, they raise their voi ces in tones of founder until they carry ’them. Sir, l do Pot Believe there ever- was a Southern meastffe Vetted. I do not recollect one. The South has never asked any thing from your GOverhment that called' for a veto. There is fob difference betwoon ns. The South asks hut few favors from you. It is a class of gentlemen from tho North who ask aid from foe Govem- teenL Why, we never coteehore in that atti tude. Let me ask the gentletead tfBefi v any teea$firp from foe SOufo was ever vetoed ? when foe South ever askbd anything fo&t required the exercise of foe veto power ? Now, sir, upon foe subject of internal improvo- ments*which the gentleman alluded to, has foe South eVed Asked legislative did in that parti cular ? I do not speak nOw fiectioqally, or against foe North ; bat look at foe whole nulo ry of.dttr Government. .Who is it that is con stantly appealing herb fbR legislative aid and legislative patronage ? Who d$ks fdf fishing bounties ? Who ask for protection to naviga tion ? Why, the people of tho South, if they were permitted to use or employ foreign vessels in their coast trade would be greatly bonefitted thereby. But American shipping must be pro tected, and who is it that asks that protection, arid not only on shipping, but almost every Id l}o thc.ir, riiast<;rs by voting Tor Nebraska thing else? U"hd is it that wants a duty upon against their wishes. No, sir, it te the. gen- icai » nig. lie was run by tbe Whigs and sup ported by fob Fosionists, which accounts for his receiving 6d heaVVa vote Hi. he did. . Mr.-Stepneiis. Then the ini.errlijilidii of foe gentleman on my left, [Mr. Washbnrne,] after all, amounts to bat very little. He says Moore was elected by eighteen hundred majority. That is quite enongh for my purpose. 1; HdW mdfcii was Mr. I*ibrtie’S Mr. WashbrirricJ: majority? Mr. Stephens. It te dot tedterial to nib what Mr. Pierce's majority was. The popular vote in Illinois at the recent election was in favor of sustainingfoe principle df foe Nebraska bill. That is my point. I do not cafe iVHethef fob wqjority was eighteen hundred, of five tllriSarid, or eighteen thousand. Iam willing to take it at eighteen hnndred. I beard that it was three thoosand. Tbe gentleman has heard that |t was eighteen hundred; but foe difference is immaterial It is given up that a majority was in favor of the principle of tho Nebraska bilL So mach for the popular condemnation there. Now, then, take the State of New York—for I mast be brief upon this point. There was bnt one candidate for Governor in foat8tato, who was openly and avowedly in favor of foe repeal of foe Nebraska bill. I mean Mr. Clark* New York gave bat few votes npon this floor, for foe bilL I think it is generally con ceded; that if foero is any State in the Union on that question, Now York. Well, sir, anti-slavery organiza tions; with its Syracuse convention; where every thing Was dene that could Bo diJdo to ral ly the freemen of fob North, as it was said; With Its emigration sdcidty ; with all this, how many votes did Mr. Cibfk get? Not more than one-third of. the rotes of foe State. Clark got one hundred and fifty-odd thousand votes, -^Seymour got tottlo thfoe hundred less—one hundred Oita flf*ty*odd thousand votes j nHd Ull- nlann and Bronsotl; together, received about the samo „ number, oiie nlindfed and fifty-odd thousand more. So foot in the great State of New York, whorb this qticslioii Wils ndado pre eminently a test; ih tbo‘recent election, net One-third of foe fate of the State Were given for tbo anti-Nebraska candidate: And yet foe late election in New York te held upas ti pop-* ulnr demonstration in opposition to 'fob pfiriCD pie of the Nebraska bill. Sir, ho Such ooticld* sion call od drawn; and tho samo may bo said in reference to tho elections in Pennsylvania, in Now Jersey, in Michigan, in Indiana; so far as furnishing any popular demonstration upon this subject, they amount to nothing.. No porson can draw any legitimate inference from tham ; to this in reference i question. Somo say it Was foo ntt| the Know-Nothings; somo say it was tho Tom- perCttCft nfon; and some say it was foe' bnti- NebriUkaitcs, that caused tbo defoat; Sir, 1 am not preparod to say what it was that caused these, to some people, ho strange results. —I anl Inclined to think that tho man down in North Carolina was about right, when ho said it WaS general Malcontent thatcausodit. Somo were diseantchfod because fff tbo appointments of tho President to office; somo itcro discon tented because it WdS jtept'oper to Cerfd such a man as Mr. £fOdle if) Madrid; some Wore dis contented because it was wrong to ae'xbl Such a man as Mr. Belmont abroad; some WOW dis satisfied at the appointment of Mri Yrffom; coal ? Who npon iron ? Who upon Woolen goods ? Who npon shoes, hats, leather, cotton fabrics—everything ? Why. it te the industri al interests of the North. We of the South, it te tnie, sometimes grumble aud complain ; but the. great majprity of the people of the Sriuth ‘ consider in Soriie IH-. the support of ever come up and ask any aid froril the Government of the United State! ? Tho ebristant prayer of foe Sririlh to yoti Hd? been to stay yridr. haqds. All that we ask of you is, keep your hririda out of our pockets. That is all that the South asks, and we do not get even that It is true; sir, that in my own State we have asked some little favors, bnt very few. Some years ago we ask-1 ed that yon should take the obstructions out of the mouth of the Savannah river—not obstruc tions that nature prii foqrej bnt foat wero put there during the revdldtidndry. war, to keep ont a foreign fleet—put there not by" the citizens of foe State, bnt by public authority. It seems to rii rlothing bnt right and just that the General Govorririiont shduld rerifoVe.those obstructions ; bnt we have asked in vain for that The gen tleman says that -the Representatives of the North come here arid pass river and harbor bills, whieh are vetoed, and the wishes of their con stituents are thereby defeated. Well, sir, we have some rivers in the Sonth quite os naviga ble „as those in Indiana^, but when did Georgia, df South Carolina; dr Virginitt; Of foe Sduth generally, come aria risk Congress to Clear ont foose rivers t . Now, Mr. Chairman, I am not going Into a discussion of this question of internal improve ments, or the constitutional power. I am going to address a plain, common sense argument in reply to the gentleman from Indiana, who said that When tho South asked anything Shd gdt it, df that wheii a Sdutbem measure was Vetoed, the South thundered and fohndered upon this floor, nntil she got what she wanted, while Nor thern measures were defeated by vetoes. I re peat, that a Southern measure has never been vetoed; Hut Row does the gentleman stand when he coniriS Hof6 ritid asks ni, ont of the public Treasury, td blbdri ont the riVers in his State ? I will state here, in passing, that I be lieve Congress b«U the constitutional power to clean ddt harbors; arid construct roads when it id rieceisarjr dither fof foe Cdllection of tho pub lic f evenue; Hr for military purposes. I did what I could last Congress to get the iteprovenient of Boston harbor; os well as of various other har bors that Ibdlievo to be necessary for tho col lection of the revenue: I was alsd in favor of removing the obstructions iri the Mouth of the Mississippi river. ThiS id Sufficient to show my general position on this subjdct; , Now, a few words on the material matter alluded to by the gentleman, the improvement of Western rivers. In foe State of Georgia, we havd rievef ask ed for any harbor improvement except for foe removal of those obstructions at tho mouth of] the Savannah river, and wo never got that, as j I have stated. We have never asked the Gen eral Government to clean ont oar rivers. Bat wo have a country of hill and volley, and we have to got to market with our products—for we grow tome things in Georgia for market, notwithstanding that, in the opinion of the gon- tlemari front Indiana, wo are a Heaven accused, slavery ddoMod land—wo grow some produets ia Georgia, I say; for market,-and how do we got them to market ? ( Do wo come herd and ask aid of the General Government? No, sir. Why, in my State, we havo upwards of a thou sand miles of railroad in full operation. How did wo obtain it ? We took our surplus capital; and with it wo bought human labor, human energy, hone and sinew—wo bought’tho strong arms of our own citizens, as well os of foreign ers, to could and dig down the hills and fill up the ValldjrSj ttndlay down tbo superstructure of Ottf railroads—wo bought the iron, when wo could gdt it; in this country, and wo wont abroad for it When wo conld not got it here, and not withdbiridittg all that, when wo . brought our irori itffofoo country, we had to pay duty upon it to’ thd Gortefo! Government. Twenty mil lions of dollate Have b’o'ori spont in Georgia in constructing highway's to our markots. This te tho way wo got ditr thousand miles of railroad. So far from oomirig horo and receiving assist ance from tho Govci'riiiicnt, wo havo actually had to pay a tax for thd privilege of bringing our Iron into foo' counter. Goorgia has paid not loss tbnn a million and it half of dollars, as a duty on iron, into tho Treasury for tlio privi- logo of building hprfowrt Works of internal im provement.

I am not talking of what you oari constitutionally fid. Is it not an nnjost Kbifso pf pofrer to oo it, even if you have foe yiwer ? The gentleman from Ohio, [Mr. Campbell] told ns foe other day, what the 'great West’ wonld do. I have a grout respect for foe groat West, and I will do'every thing which I think right and proper, and just, to dovelopo foo ro- sources of that section of foe country. I, t iym willing, os I hove said, to. open foe rtopth rif tho Mississippi, because the State of LQuisikria'cari- not do it, and take tho fiflags out 6f foa!t great river.

NoW, tho gentleman [Mr. Mace] says, in speaking of foe Missouri cdMprbrfiteq,, that by the Missouri compromise, slavery had been pro hibited north of 36 deg. 30 min.,and foatilaVe- ry was to exist south of 30 deg. 30,min. I wish to corrept the gentleman. The South h/te nev er asked that'shivery should ho extended By this Govermrierit any whero sonth or north.— The Missouri compromise of 1820 never estab lished such a principle-unever. The act of 1820, hy which Missouri was to have come into foe Union, but never did, prohibited the existence of/slav'ery north of 36 deg. 36 min.; but it te said nothing at all on foe subject south of font line. The Sonth never asked such a guarantee. Tho guarantee which foe South, has asked, and which has been,.established Sri fori passage .'df foe NebraskahiUy arid whicn foe South VHn never yield, was simply that the people on eve ry foot of American soil, north or sonth, east or west, shall, when they come to form their State constitution, do as they please npon the question of African slavery, and shall come in to foe Union either with pr 'without it, as they shall then determine for foemselvek. The So does not ask yoa that a slave State shall Be mitted from Texas, unless the people there so determine.' Wh.at.we insisted Ori iri foe Texas annexation resolutions .Was, ’that Abe pedple there might be permitted to kettle this matter for foeuteelvea. And this te Ml the guarantee we secured; all that we then - asked ; all that •we asked in 1850; Ml that we asked ia the Ne braska bill, and. what we will ever maintain te, In some things I was surprised ot.jjio.gen tleman’s speech yesterday; for I recollected very well foe remarks ho made with reference to his Nebraska bill before it passed, and tho amendment which ho offered. I beg to call his attention and tbe attenticn of tim House t*> foe report of bis remarks—ntede th foe 22d of May, tho Saturday before it passed: “Mr. Mace moved to,frisert in the, Aral'sec tion ‘and tho TemtoriaV vegislMtfreiiBainiaVe foe jtqr'Wfr ‘to Admit at .'exclude Silvery at any time by law.' He said He offered foe amend ment in good faith, and for foe purpose of tes ting foe sincerity of members from tbe western States, and more especially tbe sincerity of those of the delegation from Indiana, who wero to vote in favor of the bill. “Mr,English.

Did the gentleman vote for my amendment ? _ Mr. Stephens. I did not, and for the reason S ven, that by the hill we had given the people . | the ppwer that we conld under the constitn r tiori; We c'oitia riot grant more, arid they conld ' Vfiose two races, te tlic best for both of them; riot exereike more if we had grdrited it. We had done all we could on oar port, and we could not give them more. The government of the Territories, in my opinion, devolved upon Con gress, in the first instance, it was our duty to govern them, or provide governments for them. T 4.. iL« * » —_ J — a.!• in that respect, and come into tbe Union either with or without slavery as they wish. I say, sir, that te the southern doctrine; and I say, also, that it te American doctrine. That te what I mean by national doctrine. The gentleman [Mr. Maco] said yesterday ne was a national Mari: Nitiorinl! Wh^. sir, ho te against his own section. Not only is he agMnst the South, but he is against his own peo ple. According to his doctrine his own peo ple cannot be trusted in the Territories.— He must be their guardian, a self-constituted protector, no sriys that fop Mqriibers pf Con gress set up to bo Master! df their constituents', that they did not know what their coristitue* ts wanted, and that they came here last session 0 tho say tleman himself who wants to be master, whom ? Of his fellow citizens! He and men who embrace his doctrine virtually that when tho peoplo go from the North or South intoa Territory they become unfit to gov ern themselves. This te what the gentleman said about nia^ers: . u The doctrine sought lo he established now is this, .that we come up here as the masters of the peddle, that we code here not hound to consult with therii at ail, arici'that we may pass laws which we know they will disapprove of, and then call npon them, as loyal subjects, to ac- quiosce in our acts and cease their grumb ling/ The geiilieiridri. Says that that is whftt fre.do: braska?' because he says the people there, will have it if we do not Why does he then propose to pass a law for them which he. knows they will disapprove of, and then call on them os “loyal subjects to acquiesce in oar acts, and cease their grqmbling ?” He says that when men go from Massachusetts, or Indiana, or from Ohio, or from Georgia, and get direr iritd the Territories, they sbMl not govern themselves as they please, hut as we please. We, foe Ne braska men, on foe contrary, tredt them as free men, as our*equate; and let tHerii do os they please. Whd, theii, dre tile Master!, or would- be-masters ? I say, sif, it te that class of men who set themselves up as tho only sdfe guardi ans, protectors, and law-makers foir hied who have no choice in their election, and to whom they are in no way responsible. Oh, but. tho gentleman says, pass this bill, say, by law, that Slavery never shMl go into tHese Territories, arid then foe pedjfle can dd just ak they please, just as they did in Iowd; ttrid can form State constitutions agaiiffili ilayefjr; *8 Iowa did, and Horde iritb the Uriidd al thdt State did. Why, sir, the gentleman’s idea of liberty on the pdrt of foe people to do as they please is very much like a story that I heard told by the late Jus tice McKinley, of foe Supreme Court. Thein- clddiit dccur’red iri Lexington; Kentucky, I be lieve.

Oh, yes, ho will mako it a free Territory. H,e will havo his way, and tho people foere “khrtti’t Bay nothing. Ho would givo them precisely that sort of freedom whlrSh closes tHtj rpdutti of freomen.

Now, sir, the gentleman [Mr. Maco] yester day notified tho country, and notified foe House 'that Nebraska nevor should oome in as'a slave State. This is plain and direct language. It presents tho issue fairly. It is bringing up font question which has beon forico sottiod by this country. And, without pretending to speak rophetioally, I will venture tho opinion, that j- Nebraska como hero with a slavery constitu tion, sho will be admitted; and fop groat body of these gontlomou who ocoupy foe position of tho gentloman from Indiaria; rf ill He' at that tiMe burled so deep under popular condemnation, that their voioes against it will never reach the CapitoL A groat national principle te involved in this question which foo pooplo of this coun try nro riot a going to' igrioro.

I did not know then whether Kansas would be a slve State or not. I do not know whether it will be or not, but this doesnot make the slightest difference in m^ vo te. Men may indulge in whiteycr Specpltijons they please, .if Kaiilas, should home Here -with a constitution exclding slavery, and ask admis sion into the Union as a State, whilo Iam a member npon this floor, I should vote for her admission. At least that feature inlier constitu tion will notcause roe Jto vote Against admission* j voted for'the admission of I >wa, and I have Voted for foe admission of .'every northern State, since I have occupied a seat upon this floor, when I have been in my place. I was not here when California was admitted, but I de fended ber admission. I want gentlemen from the North., and tite gentleman troniIndiana, to understand the South or at least the position of some of her Represen tatives. "We stand upon principle. We do not advocate a Measure to-day, because it votes money idtd foe pockets of our constituents, or He'cftriso it te fqVorcd bjr them or advances their interests, and llion io-MorroiV array ourselves in opposition to it, because we think a different result follows from its operation, but we stand, particularly on this question, upon foe fixed and immutable principles upon which the Con stitution itself rests. In jthe beginning, in the right bd come into the Union with such institu tions os she, republican in their character, might adopt Missonri was denied admission, and the South did reluctantly consent that slavery shoMd be excluded north of 36° 30’, provided Missonri should come in as she pleased: EiU Missouri was again denied admission—sho did not come in under this act of 1820. I will not, however, go over this ground again now. Tho North would not adhere to foe principles of foe act of JL8?0; When .foe strife gf .1856 Became intolerable, when foe ship of State seemed aboat to go down, and when Southern mon wero still standing dri deck wllH flag-staff in thefr hriridS dptfealing id ildffoerii patriots to come td foe resene, and stand upon the old platform, occupied by them when foe Missonri question arose—that te the State-rights doc trine of letting each State settle this matter for itself—whether in accordance with the wishes of the North or Sonth—it was then that this principle, incorporated in foe Nebraska^ bill, was first ^Stdbliahed. ^ This principle' now fot- ■ lows the Americaiiflag wherever ii floats, wheth er in California, Utah, New Mexico, or south ern Texas. The same stars and stripes, drifo tho some principles inscribed upon their broad folds, no\V wave fay npon Kansas and Nebraska! Lot them go, kiiit togeiHSF, ode aria inseparable, over evory foot of American soiL This, sir, te my wish, and this, sir, I think, will bo the re sult; I therefore say to the gentleman from Maine, [Mr. Washbnrn,] that he wiil not- live to Sde the day, in my opinion, when this great Movement; folk resolution in AMericanp'dlltlcs: tjfffl ever roll BacktrardS: Its co’di58 vfijl rather be dd^iara. There .are SoMe which I wish td allude. icr topics to Why is it that gentlemen object so much to foe introduction of slavery into Kansas, if foe people of that Territory desire it to go foere? When I made a speech at the last session, upon this sabjcct, I stated foat I tfould. vote for the principle df tflloriiitg tiie‘ people df any section df the HHdiltiy to comeiiilo' the Union and form Institutions as they please. This I said when I knew there might be twice as many people there from the North os from tho South, and foe chances of emigration I knew would gr atly preponderate in favor of foe North. I am will ing, now, to abide hy that prinoiple. I have no desire to deprive foe people -pf any State or Territory in our common country of tin right of addptirig srioh institutions for tbeif got- erriderii; rfoeti tKoy boc.dtHe States; as they please: It IS anti-AMcficHd; and entirely at war with tho spirit of thfe' rtjfe'; about which wc hear so much. I ask why the peoplo of any and I am prepared to argue that question with foe.gentleman-, here or anywhere. Take th# negroes in- Indiana, toko them in the North gen crally, and-coropare their condition with those of.foe South. . Take them in Africa; take them anywhere on the face of the habitable globe: and then take them in tho southern .States, and the negro population of the Sonth are betrer off, better fed, bettor clothed, better provided for, enjoy more happiness, and a higher civilization, than tho same race has ever enjoyed anywhere else on the Lice of tbo world. Could ffowatyl. the philanthropist, who lias left an undyini fame for hte deeds of humanity, have tokej tho some number of. African? from their native country and raised them from their Wbcrou# condition .to that of tho.f>l/iv<;? of the.South, he wonld -Have added mnebto that stature of im mortality which, in hte day, he erected to him self. It would have greatly added to that rop r utation, .which now sanctifi.csd»i.< memory in the hearts and.affections, ofbroankind. , Look at £1m three millions of Africans as y#q find them in, foe South: and where is the man so cold-hearted, aad cold-bioodod, as would wish to put them in the condition .that their forofa. "tbers were, or their kindred now are in Africa? What has done so much for these people but that which is so much denounced by inconsiderate fanatics;men and women, too. who find fault with what they know npthingjnbont? Again :.ta}:e onr negroes, arid) compare their condition with that of the free negroes of the North. I have the result of the Census return? before me, find from that it appears that the Increase of.the free people of color in the Uni ted State?,from 1840 to 1850’, was only ten nine-five hundredths percent. This shows that their condition cannot be very good, or desira: ble : and to this increase is to be added too, the fugitive slaves, and those who have been em ancipated. With all these sources of increascj has only been ten and ninety-five hundredths ■per centum Sfsffij&ij Now, howisXfc with the slaves, the dowh-trod-. den, the abused, the half-starved slaves? Their increase, .during the. same ppriod, was twenty- eight and fifty-eight hundredths. Is thci^ any such result to be preened at foe North where they ara free ami left to themselves? How can your missionaries ip philanthropy and crusaders in benevolenc-account.for-iL But some people say that slavery is a curse to the white man. They abondon the idea that it is a curse to the negro. They say it weakens, impoverishes, nnd„demoralizqs a State. Leiui see. They say foere can he no high social, mor al, or material development under the institu tion of slavery. I have, before me some statis tics on .this point,-statistics relating to materi al development.,. Eut r beforeJaliuding to them) I will say upon the subject of morals, that Tsaw a table of crimes made out in foe' Census Office for 1850. From those, statistics it appeared—I speak from mepnfry; .1 have not the paper be- fore me-r-tijat the number of convictions for crimes of every grade, in Massachusetts, the land of “steady habits,” and where we hear so much oftho immoral effects of slavery, with % a population under one million, was several thousaud : while in foe State of Georgia, with a population not so great,, the similar convictions ifre less than one hundred.. Isay, yheo, npon "the score of crime, upon the score of morals. I am ready to compare my State with that of Mas . sachusetts, or a ay one ofthe free States. Where then, is the moral curse which arises from slave ry? A.feyr fac.ts in reference to physical develop ment. I had occasion, some time since, for an other purpose than the present, to look a little into the statistics of Georgia, compared with* those of other States. I selected the State of Ohio, because it was one of the most prosperous of tne North—often styled, and perhaps, justly too, the giant of the West. According ( to.th3 pensiis returns iri 1856, Ohio -had of improved lands 9,851,493 acres—Georgia had only 6.378, 479 acres, the cash value of the Georgia land so improved and under culture was $95,753,445^ while the cash value ofthe Ohio lands was re turned at $358,758,603—Ohio hod nearly one third more land in a state of improvement :han Georgia had; and returned at more than rffrraqi times the cash value of the Georgia lands: whole population of uhio was l,908,4SrfT?Qi9 whole population of Georgia, white and black, - was 905,999.- The population of Ohio; therefore was more than double that of Georgia. Here yve see her free labor more than double in num ber, working one third more land, worth, by valuation, more than three times that of Geor gia. f From these elements it might not be sur prising, to sea her agricultural products greatly, exceeding foose of Georgia, without resorting to the ‘ curse of slavery’’to account for it But how stands the facts ? bhio produces the fol lowing articles: IjTHeat.
