The &l;vc Question. SF'KfcXH OF Hon. Grnliam IV. C'itcli, or Iiirilrtiin, IS TUE Herst VT HrrtESESTATITES, TtliVXXf 14, 1S50, In Committee of f Whole on the s'ate of the Union, on the Restitution referring tht President's Message to tht various Striding Cvtnrrutlees. Mr. HTCH said II i not my intention to attempt an riahoiate mwn t. any of the vsr'u us argument which have been aidnetd, either to the II..M4C or l. ibis e-itnmittee. upon the subjects enn reeled with the mess-ige befoie you Nur Ii 1 dei;n dif ussh.g at If nj'h the slaveiy question, which has become minglcd with all cur legislati. t. I hill leave iuch di-CU'Sion U the !i(a! gentlemen occupying seals here. I believe, however,

that an unbiassed jiö-imeDt uf eiiher the mr; or uncnsti- I utionality of that question can seatcelr be fiumcM here. Sectional feelirsr, u; dcr the ii-fluence-of the ii.fl.:i'iiao:y appeats anj injudicious threat -which have been made in couucctioti wt:h this su.Jvct, will depiire it of I ! cool cotsidciaiion to wh.:h its imp.rt.ir.ce cntiilt-a it. Any cpinicn relative to it meiit mut, i" an e-i-ecial manner, have been very liaNe to be 1'oimed under the influence of such feeling; and any in relatio-i t its ronstiietionaliijr, even fr ro those whse opu.ions un.ier ordinal v circumstances aicer.iilc! tu t'ie utmost A. 'i-ie. ,ce, (and theie aie miry noch on tb is floor,) will now be very tuie to he warped by residence upon one or the other si ie of certain line t or influences, independent of consideration of the country's fvd, of riht or wri'r.jj, tioujht to bear f n m the opposite side, and therefore depiivcd of any controlling tflVct. Any reasons fur rr y owu opir.iou can have 1.0 Wright '.e f nu influence be) ond the ciic'e of my invnedu'e constituents. Those reason can be aye, hare been better given elsewhere than here. The opinion itetf. so far a my action on thi question as a representative is concerned, I came here to ony out. It will be a matter tf iccoid it already u (it; and I am prepaied to make it so again at any moment. Although a discussion uf the rationale i f a preconceived opinion wiil be uetes, that -f errtaio sentiments proclaimed, acts done, and threali made here and elsewheie, in connection with this subject, may rot be equally so. To these, beitfre. will my lernaiks be mostly confined. It appeais t my limited observation, that a new-boin zeal is recently evinced in opposition to a principle long since e-tablished in this government, and established with the consent of the very locality now so frenzied in its opposition. The -ordinance of 17s7" was bat the application of this principle to Ibe Northwestern Temtiy, and uniler circumstances which wonld have far better justified the intemperate Opposition now manifested. As that territory belonged to Virginia, ilavery exi-ted ia it by her laws, not only theoreiically but practically. Slaves weie held ia that portion of it out of whict my own Slate ha since bea ere. ated. Consequently, that ordioance abolished slaveiy without the consent of tht inhabitants, where it already existed It is now only proposed t prevent its introduction where i' dies not exist. To the former piopusition theie was no opposition ; to Ibis it has become al nost mom maniac. Thai territory was a gift in common to all the States it became eomm'in property j and very justly, fr Virginia had only been enabled to hold it by an expenditure of the common blmd anj treasote. The itmc expenditure bat obtained that in dipte ; not in dispute as to title, tut as to the extension or non-ex tension of certain laws over it. Virginia could oo more claim a want of cmsi It-ration for bet gift than could Texas now were she to relinquish to the Unit- d State all her right, real or fancied, tu that portion of New Mexico which she claims. I repeat, the pijnciple under discussion, the principle of "intervention" wi:h the slavery question ia the tertitorie, was established by the "oidinance of 1787," and in a furm much mote oUuexious to ctjectiuns oo the part of the South than anr now presented. Hut t'leo it met their approbation. No masier-pirit ha-i yet arisen to cteale from ihii qes'ioit a whirlwind, astride of which himself and friends were to ride into hi;h places. There U, then, ia that ordinance a precedent foi this intervention which cannot be gaioayed. Bat we ate told that we, the Democia'ic party, have adopted a party creed, erected a party platform opon which is wiitten "Non-intervention and honorable gentlemen fio-n the S'ou:h have threatened "ith excominvoicaiton from the party all wh do not abide the spiiit tf that non-inter ve'il ion. Yes, tliey will "read such from the party. VVht then would be orthodox Demrvcrats ? 1 fsncy this qustion would not be as difficult of solution as a similar one arising from Church achisoi. If nurnbers constitute oiihloxv, gentlemen fulminating such thteati might Cud them-elves outside the temple. The non-intervention dctiine of the Dmucra ic National Convention of IS43, was applied toS'ates, ! Ttriitoiies. The convention expressly lefused the adoption of a aimilar resolution rela'ive to the latler. and thatietu-al was the alleged cause of recession fmm the convention by the iZra mover of the resolution. But if the ante resolution had been applied to the latter, I ubmit to you, Mr. ChaiimiD, would not denunciation by the South of i's abafjdoiiment be but condemnation of their own carte ? Fur, sir, in anticipation r f the application of a portion of the new tertitoty (California) for adtni'si n, wih constitution in hand, into the Union, these ame peOle, h. would create an ideal non-iniei vei.tion rule and make it binding upon the orth, have (hemseives dcclaied, from the swamps of Florida, to the mountains of Virginia, the it intention to lesi.t the a.-ked-f..r admiioti. And why f Because, foisouth, the eonstitotion of the new State prohibits slaveiy! It is true the gentleman fn m iMi.iipi (Mr. Blown) told us a few dys since that the pteseoceof this prohibition formed not the ground vf his opporiii ;n to the admission of California; bat if its constitutum bad permitted slavery, would have t-pp-xed its admission into the Union The supposition is piepost. rons. Well, Mr. Cliairmm. will not this resistance to the admission of California be an attempted intervention? Yet fur th am intervention, fur a diiTeieo, and, as we claim, a better purpose, the North is to be anathematized. 'Whom Ihe gods will lo destroy, they first make mad. If madness is evidence of impending destruction, we may well fear that many seals in this House must soon bid farewell to their present occupants, to "know tbem no note forever;" for a greater number of candidates fur Bedlam than prevented themselves upon this flxir, a few days before we filled the Chair you now occupy, never congregated outside the walls of an asylum for the iuiane. Ad there was very little method in their madness. Their ravings were incoheient, or if they coutd be interpreted to mean anything, they meant that at which the irmaiks made by a gentleman fiom Noith Carolina (Mr. Clinmn) ao strongly pointed namely, ciscm rr. And some of them appear lo have been at large a leng'h of time, unrestrained by the application of any coercive m-asnre, although evidencing ell-grouuded sospiri.-ns of the nece-ity of i such ietairit, aye, and committing that evidence to punt, to be brought up io judgment aginst them. Ileie is a portion of this evidence (holding up Mr. Meade's speech,) in which the author, speaking of anticipated legislation on: this s Jbject, says t "If Ihe Not th generally, whose hijh prosperity Is the result of i aretr icied intercourse witn the aoutn, reiut toe terns we prescribe, let tu talk so more about the bleeaings of Union." If we do not swallow the teims they prescribe, swallow their prescription, however nauseous, disunion follows! Shall I bs pardoned fr humbly disarming from this opinion I And again "Instinct lei' as slaveholders, that we mast have onr portion of tlii continent, that institutions hostile to oars shall exi&t neiihcs west nor south of us." What is this but an admission of insanity I Instinct, which governs man only after reason has deserted ber tbiont j instinct it to be the sole gotde of their tbieatened action in the premises! I allude ! this speech, (Mr. Meade's.) because the same sentiment, not the lenib of which can I take time to quote, were repeated with i'i'.l stronger emphasis upon this floor. And I am sotry to say they were echoed by otheis upon this side of the House while fioaj that (Whig) side we had. by way of interlude in this comedy sif "Reason mo mad," or the "Devil to pay among Ihe Negroes," an improvement apon the old "llaik, from the Toombs r. doleful sound." And the whole performance was cheered and encored by Representatives whose. doy it wss to have indignantly frowned it down as threatening the best inteiests and inlegiity- of the Union they weie sent be"ie t cberifh aud protect. If auch conduct is not madness, what is it f Tieasoa f . It can scarcely be, for treason stalks sbr-ad and whispeis its detee only oder cover of niht; and these declarations were rnade at nor.day. They were proclaimed to the Na'ion here, in the Nation's CapitoU If not madness then, what is it ? It was said (s was alluded to by my honorable friend from Tennessee, upon my left, Mr. Staaton) by a f rmer chief, I thidk, f Freoch police, that a certain transaction was worse than aeiime it was a blunder ; clearly intending to convey the inference that the act eviuccd such narrowed views, sorb imbecile jndment upon the part of the acters, as sut jected them to pity, not punishment. And thus of the conduct amdsT consideration. If not madness, it is not treason a crime it is a blunder, it i f'lty. And wba mote foolish than the threatened application of a remedy foe any evil, real or imcgiuary, which remedy must from its f ey oatore be productive e-f infiuitely moie mischief than the evil itself What more foo'i'b than a threat of disunion ander any contingency which can possibly ad-e from the renewed application of a principle which has bit heito operated so ber.encially f If the Ibiest has been made with the view of intimidating the North, whatever its ternpoiary effect may be here, ita folly wilt be apparent ia ita tier failure to swerve the northern constituency one ioa from the course they esteem tight If it was made with tht view of strengthening the Sooth, its effect has been the ieverse, by Ussemog that respect for southern gentlemen m- . kii'g rt to which otherwise they wotsld bave been entitled ; and, furthermore, by destroying all confidence ia their papatriotim, s confidence to which much coo Id have been yielded. It was said eaily in the session by a gentleman from Geoigia, (Mr. Stephen,) tho(h I am happy to say Ihe gentleman ntiered sentiments of a different character a few days since, while discussing the joint resolution for the purchase of the manu'Ciipt of Wathiogton'a Farewell Addiess but it was said ly hi n early in ibe session, and much the same thing" was tepeaied recently by. a gentleman front North Carolina, (Mr Clirgman.) that n e of the North "sing fatsos' io Ihe Urioi for its preservation. Granted! But they sing them to 'r S nh t justify disunion. Who are the niosl national ? Or. to make Ihe question one of music, fct men, which ia 'he most patiiotie. "flail Columbia," or Clar Ue kitchen, ole VirrtnnT a com in" We are told by gentleman finm the South. (Mr. Wallace,) that we of be North shall be taught the Pouth "will teach es tue sin. ferity of their threats, and their ability to accomplish Ibfm." Uah the Congressional "scboolinasier is ebro.d !" We will receive their teachings with all becoming humility; but as the necessity f..r a few lesson may be reciprocal perhaps, we shall he permitted to mount the rostrum, ferule In hand, and for biief peii'd enact the pedsgogue. One of he first lessors we would inculcate, is hrir ioability to suercfully accmpli-li their disunion threat. Ia eaaayin 11, they will ir.juie ibe Noith. I C"" 7". but they will ruin Ihems-Ivrs. It i true, we weie amused a few days since by a gentleman from North Caiolina. (Mr. Clinrmtn,) with ad estimate cf the receipts and expenditures of the prospec

The North is charged wild an intention of violating th Cotrs'itulion in legislating upon Ihis Huhje.ct f slavery. Tiie Constitution guaranties tights in common lo all the Platen, mid certain special rights to the shiseiiolding bluten. Yet, tiiougti special, tliey are Constitution! right, ami as such, should be recognized and protected in the Stall's wlicra tliey ex int. Ami the great mass ! the northern Constituency tive as little id.', of intnrft'ring wild tliusa rights, nn tf peimiiting interference with their own. Tlinre are exceptions to thin there are, ( am sorry to say, northern disunion isle, liut tliey are few in number and of limited influencB. Cm tlto same be said uf the southern ? Tiie latter arri at the same conclusion with lltss former frotn adverse premise reach the same goal by n different road. In aiding the accompli. hment nf the uliitnat design ol the northern disunionints the men they were wont the nuW coiitemptiiously to deniMitir.e ihn South add nothing to their own strength. They do but divide the responsibility rf an odious cause. The pseudo-philanthropy of a few of thene disunionists of llie North the Garrisons and Abhy FoUonis a philanthropy manifesting ilxtlf by an officious intermeddling with the property rights of the South, instigating the escape tf ihe slave, whije it turns its buck upon the free negro, leaving him to steal or starve a . philanthropy which, instead uf expending ita pecuniary menus as il legally might in ministering to the wants of the black already free, or sending h'.ni to the country of his origin, where he could attain the dignity of a citizen, invents such means in printing incendiary publications or hiring emissaries to cieate discontent in the slave, or increase that already existing; this kind of mistaken philanthropy, with its attendant indirect efforts at disunion, is unjustly charged to the entire North, while the South apparently seek to precipitate its consequences. The latter thus bravely aid the efforts ot the very people whose sentiments they most loudly condemn, instead of uniting with the conservative portion of the North to grant that w hii-li the entire civilized world and their own consciences tell them id right the preservation of freedom where freedom now exists. It is manifest that if a difference of opinion ariee with regard to any measure not provided for br the letter of the Constitution, Ihe will of the majority must govern legislation had with referenre to tlmt measure. If the minority esteem such legislation unconstitutional, the Constitution furnishes the remedy. But that remedy contemplates neither force nor disunion. It is incompatible wiih either. Why, then, will the South create useless prejudices ngainst llie.ir own cause rt cauts which they Si if is just hjr n threatened resort 1 either? I repeat it, sir, there is nothing in this question as presented justifying such threats. It is not the intention of the North they shall be justified, for the North intends asking only for that which is constitutionally right and can be constitutionally granted. And asking that, if the majority is willi them, I hey have firmly resolved their wishes shall l conceded. In presuming such intention ol violating the Constitution, and basing their threats upon the presumption, the South is burnishing its armor and preparing for battle when there is no loe in the field. The war-horse "snith among the trumpets, ha ! ha! and ha snielleth the battle afar off, Ihe thunder of the captains and the shouting." But the olfactories of Job's battle steed were obtuse compared with those of some nf our southern friends. The latter "snielleth ihe bat lie" from ao far that ihe eye of man lookelh not beyond, yet the battle array is not visible. "They have optics keen who see things not to be seen." Aly quotations are from memory. If they are not verbatim, some of ihe teachers whose services were volunteered early in the session can correct them ! For much of the feeling evinced by the Nnrili on this subject, is the South chargeable. The latler complain of the spread of nbolition sentiment. Sir, it can never ceasn to spread while supplied Willi such nourishing pabulum as that afforded by the speech oi the gentleman from North Caro -line, (Mr. Clingmnn,) and others of the same easle. And if the few northern disuniotnsts increase and multiply, the paternity of the increase U chargeable to tint gentleroan and his associates. An importance is attributed to the discussion of this question here, of a character altogether disproportioned to any which it has yet attained. The gentleman from North Carolina was understood to say, end the same thing waa repealed by a gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Seddon,) that the discussion of this question here had prevented slave emigration to California, and thereby deprived the South ol any portion of that territory. Are they not mistaken ? Was it not rather the Mexican law under which the citizens of lhat territory lived the government de facto which the gentlemin Irom Virginia inslots should yet be in force in the absence of any territorial government framed by Congress was it not that government de facto, with its Mexican law prohibiting alavery, which deterred, as it ever must deter while in force, the migration and residence in the territory of slaves as such ? The gentleman from North Carolina, and those acting with bim, appear de'ermined to occupy no middle ground in this matter It is but a few years since these gentlemen, ot at all events the Representatives of the same constituency now repiesented by tbem, voted, in common, I grant you, with many mheis upon this floor, to censure a member from Ohio, Mr. GiDOiiies, becaue of bis introduction hero in the form of certain ics buttons of sectional matter, alleged to be of an exciting and inflammatory character. et these geutlemen now daily and hourly utter fiom their desks sentiments far more ii CamT.atory, and dangerous to Ihe country. And the gentleman from Nor'h Carolina tells os, if we see proper to attempt in a peaceable manner to free ourselves from the .presence of any who, like himself, may declaie their intention to delay, lo prevent legislation, lhat weapons shall be biought to their aid, probably the knife and the pistol, t.i sweep from this floor so many that no qrtornm shall be left for ihe transaction of business! Shame! What is lobe thought of the uttrrerof such a sentiment a sentiment sadly, sadly out of place in a legislative hall? The gentleman from North Carolina; and bis eo-woikers, appear determined not only to occupy mi middle ground themselves they are equally determined to permit none others to do so. If a man is not f it them, their uncalled-for denunciations diive him to asume a staod against tbem. Tbeir sensitiveness upon thissobj ct ia Iraly ludicrous to othets, though doubtless painfnl to themielres. They see threatened destruction to their iotituiion in every newpper paragiaph which d es not call it divine; a foe in eveiy man who presumes to question the tight or justice of any of their assumptions. The threatened destruction tbey prosose to anticipate by destroying themselves, committing national suicide. , The ideal fe they charge laoce in hand a la node Don Quixote, without waiting to ascettain whether it be a knight or windmill-without even pausing to know whether it be a man or a woman. If tbey would pause, if they Would but wait to examine the disunion petitions laid before eeitain northern Legilatuies, tbey would find many of the signets te be females. IX they design making war upon these ' Sacb woold appear to be the intention of Iba gen lleman from North Carolina, for it will be leroembered he ictailed ceit-.iii opinions alleged to be e-itertained by noi th

em ladies of southern gentlemen. Do those alleged opinions shadow f rih the result of that geotleman's tta veiled experience in Ihe North, ol which he told us i Has he Lent the knee in some northern court of Cupid ? Has he unsuccessfully woo'd to win some iior'hem bell- I If so,' the caue of the outpouiings of bis wiath upon the Noitb can be well uudetslood and appreciated. I said, the sensitiveness of some southern gentlemen was truly ludicrous.

Sir, that northern regiment was from my own State. It was a gillaiit regiment! Ami, for tli justice conceded it by the gentleman Iri.-m Virginia, in tliHl one eapresstve work " gallant," I t'j.tnk him. As an Iiidiantan, from my very lieirl, I tli.ink l.iin. It is a juetice not meted to the regiment by all, r tlmru ara I lots who seek to tarnish its well-eatrifd laurels, by lustily, slanderously charging it with want of eonr.ige. Sir, the descendants of the brave men who foutht nt Tipper ao" c-tt never be cowards. It was a gali-iul resiment. It bore the opening

metit; yet firmly il inainlftined its ground, giving and re eeiving volK-y aller vollry. with as little thought ol yield ing, as had the mountain at Ihe b;tso of which it fought, until at the moment, when, by the subsequent confession of the commanding otli. er of the enemy, victory was "ui to rewaro its giii n lry, it uroke, not ymiaing to the '"rce th enemy, but in obedience to an incompetent or panic-stricken olhcer. The brave Brigade General of the regiinent, who knew its members as citizens and soldiers, and knew they had no thought but of how most gallantly to acquit themselves, passed the order of the regiment, to advance against Ihn dense mass of loe in ita Iront. 1 ins ordr, a colonel, who fur his own and the reputation of the Slate under whose commission he acted had better have grared a scullion's Station than the one he held, re versed, by an order to cease firing and retreat. The regiment broke, but subsequently it mostly rallied, and, in company with another no less gallant regiment from the same State, fought side by side with the Mississippi rrgi ment in repelling Santa Anna laat charge. I say not this to detract one iota from the well earned reputation of the Mississippi regiment, for a more gallant body of men more gallantly led than those Alissisaippiana, never trod a battle-field. 1 say it in justice to the dead of Indiana's bruve volunteers and the alandered living. Yea, air, Indiana and Mississippi the North and the South there fought and fell in their common country's cause, under the same stars and stripes. I he demon ol discord, in Ihe lorm of sectional feeling, sectional interests, reared not Its hideous head there. They thought not of the North or nf the South, but nf their country, their whole country, in whose cause they were nerved lo " do or die. Ileav en ernt it may ever be thus!

Opposed to incorporation, and in favor of individual liability. Against special legislation, and in favor of utiif rtn and equil laws to regulato all local milters. Opposed the homestead exemption, and in favor of a continuance of forciblecolletiun law, making thetu however more simple and pqtiitablc. Iu favor of conferring upon thn people directly the election of public officer!'. Tue Doctor wound up by advocating a reform in our jtidici:.! system, adapting it to the habits and circumstances of our people and government, and gave the English common liw practice, and precedents, and practitioners "particular thunder." At the close he slated lhat he hoped that delegates would be selected without reference to party that if pirty lines vre not drawn he should offer aa a cond date, but if candidate were selected with reference to party bias, be should act with the whig party as he had always done, not leaving llie.n now when in a hopeless minority, and if nominated by them reserve to himself the right to run or not at he should think bftt. The address contained many valuable suggestions, and indicated tint the speaker had thought and read upon the fcience of government.

Thest are matters of the uimort importance, and should be particularly borne ia mind by all classes of iorurers when they are turopted to take Policies in Companies who have reduced their rate one-third o. those usually charged by Ihe oldi-st and best Companies in the world. Oa this subject ProfetiorC. F. M'Cay, of the University of Georgia, speiAa as foiiows : "If there is more or less deubt whether our life insurance compa nil s are not charging rates that are too low, our anxieties for those companies who have reduced their charges below the earlier staoda rj btvome of the most seiious character. 11 there is tnurh reason to fear t.'-at the old rates are too low, even lor the times cf ordinary mortality, wbat frara must to felt for the stability of com panics wl.o have reduced these latus, a ben ihe average mortality is doubled by ihe ravsges ol cholera. These fears and anxi.-a.iee are not qosdled by remembering that dividends of 50 percent, profits have I eon hitheite made by most of the companies ; for it is easily perceived that at the first, when the insured are all in good health, the number of deaths will be far below the average. Already, the oldest mutual conpany has experienced a mortality as great as at Carlisle ; ami when the results ol the present year are art did to their experience, it is to be feared their deaths will be fully equal lo the suiouiit indicated by their tablea. Let, therefore, all the companies be warned in time. IX pradence, caution, and th mort watchful raretuiness characterize the conduct of their directors, aad especially let tliern Ixtrtre of re ducin; their rates so aa to endanger tlie existence, ruin the confidence reposed in them by the assure 4, blast th 1 to pea of the widow and the orphan, and eadangor the success of societies calculated to do so niu. h good throuziiontthe length and breadth of onr land. Let litem keep up their charges to the old limits. If they are too hi;h, the excess will be returned to the assured as dividends. If too lew, disgraceful bankruptcy, llneted expects, lions, and violated conSdence form a picture of the future, toe frightful to contemplate."
