Slavery question
We annex the remarks of the n.otu-W.
P. Mangum, on presenting the resolutions
of the Wilmington meeting to the Senate.
It will be seen that they are fully en tilled
to the commendatory remarks we bestow
ed upon them in our last paper. AH ac
counts from Washington City unite insta
ting that the Slavery question is absorb
ing all others and assuming a portentous
aspect. The Union says, in relation to
the Union of the States: We should deny
the evidence of our senses, if wc did not
believe that it was endangered by the pre
sent fearful agitation of the Slavery ques
tion. We have no doubt every sensible
man entertains and expresses the same
fear. And with such convictions upon
-our minds, we should be fake to patriot
ism and our duty to the people, not to ex
press our fears, and invoke oureeyntry
laen to conciliation anJ compromise, by
which the dangers which every man be
lieves menace the Union may be averted,
lie is a traitor to the Union who, at such
a crisis as the present, ifoMs his arms, and
gravely assures his countrymen there is
no danger. We believe, uf-thc people o
the United States could realize and .com
prehend the extent of the dangers which
now beset the Union, they would not he
gitate, in the spirit of our revolutionary
fathers, to lake immediate measures to ar
rest them, by a reasonable and honorable
compromise of extreme opinions on all
sides.7-
scripllon in the South, standing shoulder
lo shoulder to defend those rights, which
we mean to defend, which we can defend,
and which we will defend at all hazards,
sir. - ' " " ;
-Sir, I have heard much about -cbmpro
mises of this question. I .have heard much
said about equivalents and compensation;
but, sir, it seem lo me that conception is
based on an unjust, if not entirely false idea
of our position. What is compensation
for? What injuries? Have we done any
thing thai the North has a right to com
plain of? ' Are we to make compensation
for the slanders, for the calu m ny , for- the
endangering our firesides, for the exciting
(of domestic insurrection? Are we to make
compensation for aggressions of this char
acter? No, sir. We stand by the. consti
tution and our right, and we mean lo
stand by them under heaven, and - under
its protection we feel that we have, power
to maintain them, and we will do it, at the
hazard of our lives and at the hazard of
every thing. Every thing or any thing
will be incurred in preference to dishonor
and an ignominious submission to an im
pudent, arrogant, and unconstitutional in
terference with our rights.
1 have said, sir, that wc regard the ag
grcssions as coming entirely from one sec
tion of the Union. We are not in the
fault Wo have been and are now, a
much devoted as they to this glorious U
nion. I speak for my own Slate, than

Mr. Mamrum. I have but one remark

that they present two distinct questions

is the distinction. Those from the North

In the Senate, on the 5th inst. Mr.
Mangum rose and said:
Mr. Presiden, I have hcen charged
with the duty of submitting to this 'body
the proceedings of a public meeting licld
in the town of Wilmington, Noith Caroli
na, without distinction -of party, in refer
ence to the questions that are now agita
ting most deeply the public mind. I will
remark, ir, that Wilmington is the largest
and most commercial town in the State
from which I come. It is a Whig town,
and has been so for the last thirty years,
perhaps-in all time. This meeting, sir,
was composed of the leading and most
marked men upon both sides of political
partfcs. It. is a population eminent for its
respectability, as my friend from Alabama
well knows eminently marked for 4ts
respectability and intelligence. These
resolutions, sir, are strong; they arc deci
ded. The citizens of Wilmington hold in
common with almost the entire iiouth,
nays.
