Not at all. 1 question can have any beneficial effect. do not think so. And it is for that very If it is intended to pacify the South, reason that I am averse to this amend-j then I am assured that it will not have r.cnt. Why should this amendment that effect: and I know it is not a measbo made io the Constitution? Sir, ure for the benefit of the North. feel justified in saying so from the report!

They have ]et loose these imprisoned winds. It is their duty to direct the whirlwind.— Point your people to the Constitution: tell them there is no such power there, and cannot be placed there. ti 11 gen tl em an from rgi a [Mr. ]U IU.SON]says that his constituents do •3 ot believe their political opponents, (Tonotbelieve their own Representatives •when they inform them what are and what are not the designs of the North. Thegentlemanfrom Yirginia isafrank, honorable man, and no doubt represents as intelligent a constituency as there is in the whole South, or in the whole country. If they will not believe us, and will not believe him, when we both declare that Congress has no power over slavejy in the States, then. though one should rise from the dead! he could not remove this disbelief. If ..the Constitution, which gives nopower now over the question of slavciy in the Slates, is not sufficient, then no amendment will be sufficient. If defamation and a misconception of the purposes of one part of the people ol' this country have shaken the faith of another part •of the people in the most perfect Constitution ever framed, then no apprentice work of ours,, no amendment that -wo can make to that Constitution, will resfore that faith. This is my belief: and upon it I intend to act. Whenever -the Representatives of any people eonsent to abandon their just position, and shape their legislation to suit the caprice, and predujices, and the apprehensions of any people, then the Cfovernment of that people will have wholy failed.

I cannot consent to this amendment see. for another reason.

escaped revolution by emancipation.

But when the close ofthis century sh.ali look down on America with her thirty million slaves, what then will be our relation.as a Government, with slavery? Even now, through all the slave States there is required an efficient police for the security of the people of those States. With increased number of slaves, there will arise the necessity of increased police regulations, until, at

2Sr. Speaker, what (lies thfe ..UMU?i

too transparent to deceive any one. New Mexico is to be surrendered to slavery. The chairman of I he committee of thirty-three distinctly says so.— Not on iy that, but lie graciously informs the South that New Mexico can be made a slave State sconcr now than at any other time. Therefore the offer. I would like to know* the gentleman's authority, or any gentleman's authority, thus unceremoneous!}- to dispose of New Mexico to slavery. Have the committee of thirty-three had a revelation from the people since the Gth of last November? It'not, I propose to stand by that, decision until I have a better cause for its abandonment than is shown in the report of the majority of that committee.

But what is the real meaning of the admission of2^ew Mexico. Is it not that whatever territory may herafter be acquired shall be slave territoiy,and shall be organized into slave States?— If is not worth while to struggle to preserve New Mexico free if that Territory is to.be given up now, is it not a virtual admission that all the territoiy herafter—Mexico, Central America, or whatever we may acquire—shall be slave? It cannot be doubted. It is a covert-agreement that all the territory which we no\V hold, all the territory which we may herafter hold, shall be converted into slave territoiy and, in time, the American continent, from the western line of Missouri to the Pacific, all southward, be dotted over with slave States. Sir, if this thing is to be done, let us do it manfully. Let us agree upon the plan of the Senator from Kentucky. Let us not hide behind ]$ew Mexico. What I do, I want to do oponly, boldly, so that all ,the world may see. If it. is not to bo done, let us stand

I have no doubt these gentlemen are! correct. The admission would have no cffoct in tlic scittleuiont of thu slavory

question. \v hy, then, aoase ourselves when no good is to follow? Why abase ourselves at all? The other propositions of the committee I shall not consider. It is not necessary, as I shall not voto for cither of them. I admit the right of the South to a fugitive slave law under the Constitution but the proposed amendment of the fugitive

slave law cannot reconciio me to any approval whatever of that law, which, in my opinion, is at variance with the

in direct opposition to the opinions of men by whom (lie Constitution was framed. This amendment provides for an additional expenditure out of the national Treasury, with but indifferent guarantees to the person who may be claimed,

As to the amendment to the act for the rendition of fugitives from justice, 1 will only say that, in my judgment, the highest business of the State sho'd be the protection of its citizens. It-is better that bitter contests should arise than that this protection should be weakened in the slightest degree. It is nowr properly in the hands of the Executive of each State. I shall not transfer it to the Federal judges

Mr. Speaker, I have now considered all the plans of adjustment before Congress. No one of them can bring permanent and lasting peace to tho country. I admit the Union is in peril.— But the plan of the President cannot save the Union the plan of the Senator from Kentucky cannot save the Union the plan of the committee of thirty-three cannot save the Union.— I do not believe that there is any possibilitj' that this Congress can do anything to effect a settlement—we differ too widely and radically. I say to yon and I say to my constituents, that if I believed we ought to concede, I would not offer the half made-up compromise of the committee of thirty-three. No, sir, it is a sham and I believe with Carlyle, that whenever you meet a •sham, smito it and smite it—in God's name, smite it until it dies or you die. But I sec nothing to compromise, nothing to concede, and therefore I will give none whatever.

What then can be done? Sir. in the shadows which have fallen so thick around us, I can see but one path—it is the path of duty. We have a Union. For eighty years it has been (he admi-

ration of the world. We have a Constitution, the most perfect ever conceived. "We have laws, the .wisest and best, with all their faults it has been the fortune of any people lo enjoy.— Let them all be preserved—all every one in all its parts. But if this cannot be done if treason has become stronger than the I nion and the Constitution and the laws .if America lias fallen from her high position and become the laughter of the world: if this is the only Government, of all those which have existed, or which now exist, that cannot protect, itself, then I would vote for the following resolution:

United States "f Ainrrira in I'tiutjnnKisncmlled, Th:it it be, mi'! is hort by, rccomiaedded to (he several States the Union tlisit they/(hroujrii their vcspoctivc Le^isliituros, vo'.jueat. the Congress ol'tl United States to ealln convention of all the Stiile.-, in .ice inlance with ::rtie'e live of the ('onsliUitioi', i'or the ptirpcsc of amending fjiid Constitution in such milliner and with regard to suteh pubjeeis as will more ndeijuiiteh- re.-pend to the wtuits, r.nd afi'or:! more suliieieiit, guarnntecrf t» the diver?ified and growing intere.sts of the lo\eminent and.,,of the people eon![ c/ing the Hanie.

Sir, it is possible that a convention of all the Stales could adjust all our nat'oiial differences. Such a national convention is constitutional. It may be both wise and proper at this time: and if it should fail to continue us as one people, it can tit last, when ail else fails, provide for a peaceful and constitutional separation of the Slates of the Union, not for reconstruction, but for (he formation of independent republics, in that event, I know where my allegiance will be. It will be to the North that North which to-day, as well as two hundred years ago. when the first foot stepped from the Mayflower upon her soil, reveres religion and law and civil liberty and they cannot be extinguished in all the fires of dissolution. To that North in which I think will be realized the vision of John Milton, when he exclaimed, I see in m\' mind a noble and puisant nation rousing herself like a strong man from sleep, and shaking her invincible locks niet.iiinks I see her as an eagle muing her might}- young, and kindling her un dazzled cj'es at the full id-day beam and purging her long-abused sight at the fountain itself of heavenly radiance, to that empire of liberty upon whose soil no slave now stands, and no slave'will ever stand, 1 give all my allegiance. But, until that hour of separation shall come, (which may lie who guides the destinies of nations avert,) until that hour, although the sun in the heavens be darkened, and the vail of the temple of liberty be rent in twain, still will stand amid its failing columns and maintain, with all my power, the sacred cause of human rights.

Mr. Speaker, I will compromise no longer with slavery.

Scandinavian Remedies.

Whc-n Da. ROBAC K. tho celebrated SwedL-h Physician, introduced his felood Purifier and Blood Pills in the United States, He set forth in plain langunge their curative properties. This was years ago. The task of recommending tliem has sinew been taken out of his hands. Enlightened men whose character for sound judgment and philosophy, gives their opinions weight in the community, men, who observe, reScet. and make "assurance doubly sure'' before they decidc—arc everywhere approving and urging the use of these wonderful preparations. Ail who confide in the wisdom and honesty of this class, or who chose to investigate for themselves are now of one wind on this important subject.

Dr. Robask ifaviteS the attention of the sick to tho ORIGINAL LETTERS from members of the Medical Profession, Editor^ of public journals, well known Merchants and Farmers, and Ladies of the highest respectability, giving accounts of extraordinary cures wrought by the remedies, of which cures they themselves wcra

EYE WITNESSES.

These parties may be consulted personally or by letter, by those who have any doubt upon the subject. The evidence in the possession of Dr. Roback, which is at all times accessible to the public, establishing the following

FACTS:

That the Biood Purifier and Blood Tills havebeea proved by analysis to CONTAIN NO MINERAL, That they cure the almost universal complaint

DYSPEPSIA

with unerring certainty, and in a very short tim«. That after all other medicines have proved usele*s, they relieve

LIVER COMPLAINT,

and restore the health and strength to the sufferer. That SICK FEMALES, who have languished for years in helpless weakness and despondency, recuperate with great rapidity under their invigorating operation. That all -exual disabilities are removed by their cordial nnd gentle stimulating properties That they recruit

SHATTERED CONSTITUTIONS, however they may have been trifled with and abused that their direct tendency is to lengthen life, and render it enjoyable. That operating directly upon the poison of the disease in the blood they

CAUSE SOON TO IIEAL,

and discharge from tho system, every taint of Scrofula, whether hereditary or otherwise. That they

RECRUIT THE DEBILITATED,

and that there is no disease of the Stomach and Bowels, the Liver the Nervous System, :he Skin, Glands or Muscles, ARISING FROM IMPURITIES OR OBSTRUC

TIONS OF THE BLOOD OR SECRETIONS,

in which they do not give prompt relief, and, (if administered before the very citadel of life has been invaded,) effect a painless and perfect cure.

Bear in mind that the SCANDINAVIAN VEGETABLE BLOOD PILLS arc endorsed by the experience of thousands of living witnesses, who, in letters, affidavits, medical works and by word of mouth, proclaim them to be the very best preparation of the kind ever offered to the broken down victims of ill health. They hunt disease through every avenue and organ of the system, arid expel it thoroughly and permanently.

No one can doubt their superiority after ono single trial—they arc not only better but in fact, cheaper than any other Pills, for it takes a less number of them to produce a better effect.

Price of the Scandinavian Vegetable Blood Purifier. ?!1 per bottle, or S5 T?cr l:^lf dozen. Of tho Scandinavian Vegetable Blood Pills, 25 cents per box, or 5 boxes for SI.
