Senate, Monday, Feb. 13, 1854.
The Secretary read a letter from the Hon.
D. R. Atchison, requesting Mr. Bright to pre
side fur the day. No objection being made,
Mr. Bright took the obair.
Mr. Everett presented the memorial of over
fourteen hundred citizens of Worcester oounty,
Massachusetts, against the passage of the Ne
braska and Kansas Territorial bill. He said
that among the signers was the present Gov
ernor of the State, and the Hon. lohn Davis,
l?te Senator of the United States, also the Hon.
Levi Linooln. He said that he had no doubt
but the memorial truly presented the unani
mous opinion of the people of that section of
the country. -
Mr "Seward presented the remonstrance of
ninety legal voters of Niagara oounty New
Ycrk against the ropoal of the Missouri Com
promise. Also, two similar petition* from oiti
Kens of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Foot presented a like remonstrant from
oitizens of Windham oounty, Vermont.
Mr. Clayton, a like remonstrance from citi
zens of Delaware.
Mr. Sumner, the remonbtrance of two hun
dred and thirteen oitisens of Concord, Massa
chusetts, and seventy-three citizens of North
Taunton, in the same State, to tho same effect.
Mr. Chase presented six memorials from citi
zens of Ohio and Indiana, and the proceedings
of a public meeting at Cleveland, Ohio, all
agaiuBt the repeal of the Missouri Compro
M*. Biodhoad presented eleven like petitions
from citizens of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Benjamin presented the memorial ol cit
izens of Indiana, praying for leave to institute
a suit agaiuftt the United States, to teat the lui
bility of the United States for the debts of
Texas. . .
Mr. Bell presented the memorial of oitizens
of Tennessee, in favor of a repeal of all duties
on railroad iron, or the extension ol time lor
the payment of the same.
Mr. Badger introduced a bill moviding for
the removal of obstructions in the mouth ot
Cape Fear river, North Carolina.
Mr. Fitspatriok and Mr. Clay introduced
bills granting land to Alabama to aid in the
construction of railroads in that State.
Mr. Fish presented the memorial of oitizens
of New York, asking a modification of the
revenue laws, so far as they provide for the
forfeiture of the vessel Irom which shall be il
legally landed goods valued at $400.
The Senate then resumed the consideration
of the bill to establish a Territorial Govern
ment for Nebraska. . x. ^ .
Mr. Waller said he had no intention to reply
to the extraordinary speeoh delievered in the
Senate on Thursday and Friday. The rarsonal
relations existing between him and the Senator
from Connecticut prevented any controversy
between tliem in the Senate. He believed the
organization of these Territorial Government
in Nebraska and Kansas as absolutely indis
pensable to the safety and protection of the
numerous emigrants who annually cross them
to the shores of the Pacific. The great annual
emigration from Europe to this country would
find homes in these Territories, and build up
States in the oentre of the Confederacy, lhe
faot that of the Indians now inhabiting the
territory a large number had been removed
there nnder a promise of a permanent home,
was a serious objection j but it was one which
oould be easily provided for, in a spirit of jus
tice and humanity, by this bill. It was a mel
anoholy reflection that the Indian race was to
be swept away, but it was nevertheless true
The question whether the Ordinance of 1 - 87
was effectual over the territory to which ifcwas
intended to apply, had been muoh controvert
ed He knew that the people of Indiana and
Illinois made frequent appeals to Congress to
withdraw its prohibition of Slavery, and that
Congress refused it The Senator from Ohio
IMr. Chase) plaoed this refusal on the ground
that Congress considered the law irrepealable,
and had quoted from a report made by the
celebrated Mr. Randolph. He thought the
Senator should have reaa more of that report,
and then it would have been seen that it was
refuted on tho ground that Slavery would not
be proper for the soil and climate of these
States. Between 1810 and 1820, the number
of slaves in Indiana and Illinois was greatly
inoreased ... , _
Ho wa? no party to the Missouri Compro
mise, which was adopted at a time wuen dan
ger to tho Union was threatened. He was in
no way bound by that act. He was under no
obligations to abide by it. It was adopted by
men who had the fame political power, ana
no more, than he now had The Compromise
of 1850 was adopted under like oiroumstannoc',
and by it he was in no way bound. They
were inconsistent; and if oompclled to choose
between them, he would prefer the latter,
whioh had received the approval of the poople
of the United States in the eleotion of 1852
Those Senators who now so strenuously
maintained the inviolability of the Missouri
Compromise, at the last session voted to violate
the Compromise of 1850, by repealing the Fu
gitive Slave Law. No man oould deny but
tke repeal of that act would dissolve the Union
When the time srrived when the North would
tell the Sooth that it oould not pursue and re
claim in the free Stat? its escaped property,
then the lime for the dissolution of the Union
would have arrived, as it ought to.
He was born and educated in a free State
He deprecated the existence of Slavery, but*r
had no prejudices against anything but wilt
was unconstitutional.
He denied that he had ever seen anything
demoralizing in Slavery. He oompared the
morals an J patriotism of the South with the
North, and held that the former was equally
higl", whether with reference to its males or
females.
Slavery existed in Vermont and other n-ee
States in 1800, and he d?d not believe it would
have ever been abolished there, had it not l>een
found to be unprofitable. The proposition to
exclude Slavery north of 36 deg 30 min. wan
no more just than it would be if the South was
to propose that Slavery should never be ex
oluaed north of that line.
This was not a contest between Slavery ami
Freedom, but whether the people should be
allowed to decide for themselves. It would be
a mockery to give them the power when a
State, and, deny it during the term of the Ter
ritorial organization. He was a native ol
Ohio, and some cf hi* dearest, feelings were
oonnected with her interests, but he considered
she had committed an egregious error in send
ing to tho Senate two Abolitionists.
He denounoed all political Abolitionists. He
never knew one, who was a practical political
Abolitionist, but who, in social life, was an in
tormeddler with his neighbors' affairs. He
was not a Northern man with Southern prin
ciples He was one who believed there was
no safety fop this union, exoept in the mainte
nanes of the Constitution.
Mr. Houston got the floor, but said he was
too indisposed to go on to-day.
The subject was postponed till to-morroW.
Mr. Gwin gave notice of a Deficiency bill.
On motion of Mr. Slidell, the Senate pro
oeeded to the consideration of a bill granting
land to Louisiana, to aid in the construction ol
a railroad ib that State; and a debate ensued
on a motion by Mr. Bayard to p^tpone it.
The Senate then went into Executive ses
eion, and, after some time spent therein, the
doors were opened, and the Senate adjourned.
House of RtprtitiUalioes, Fib. 13, J 854.
Mr. J. Glanuy Jonei, < f Pennsylvania, mem

Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, asked leave to

ka and Kansas, in defiance of the stipulations

not received at thin time.
The Speaker announced that the committees
would now be called upon for resolutions, &o.
Mr. Breokenridge moved a suspetmion of the
rules, to euable hun to present a Deficiency
bill, which he explained to be substantially the
s line as that origiually presented by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, but without the
amendments made in Committee of the Whole
Oj the submission of this motion, a soeup of
indescribable excitement, confusion, and disor
der, arose. The Chair wus addressed and in
terrogated by several members at a time.
"Order" wus repeatedly called Speakers

the rules was taken, and decided in the nega
tive?yoas 107, nays 72?there not being two
thirds in the affirmative.
Mr. Breckenridge then mov^d a suspension
of tbe ruled to enable him to move to take up
the motion to reoonsidor the voto by whioh the
Deficiency bill was rejected, which was laid on
the table on Thursday last In other words,
the Deficiency bill was, on Thursday last, de
feated on a motion to engross it for a third

did by saying that he was opposed to theobject
of the memorialists, not believing that Slavery

That our own opinion of this remarkable book may

cle, written oy one of the editors of tho Evening

' Messrs J. P. Jewett A Co. have in prest, and will
shortly publish, a tale of deep interest, entitled ' The
Lamplighter.' The see no is laid in Boston and im

Boetonian. or a resident of this neighborhood. We
accidentally fell in with some of the proof sheets of
the work, the other day, and, after reading a hundred
or more pages, we have no hesitation in pronouncing
It one ot the most original, interesting, graphic, and
affecting tales, thus far, that has latoly appeared. It
is quite equal, to say the least, to 'Wide, Wide
World,' though not what would be called a religious
novel If the work is completed with the ability
which is displayed in the first part of it?and we have
no reason to doubt that it will be wo prediot for it

To those persons who may visit Washington, and
are in want of a boot that cannot bo excelled, either
in quality or workmanship, we would call their atten
tion to the card of Henry J.-inney, to be found un?4cr
the head of " Washington." A handsome and noat
ly-mado boot is not at all timus a source of pleasure
to the wearer, but olten one of extrowo torture; this
is caused by the bungling manner in which the boot
is fitted to tho foot. Mr Janney ha* devoted much
of his time in studying the construction of the human
loot, in order to ascertain bow a boot should be cut
and fitted, that will be perfectly easy to all psrts of
the foot. In this ho has succeeded, no that it matters
not what may bo the shape of. or tho number of corns
on the foot, his boot is perfectly easy. Thus he hu
combined beauty with comfort.
