The consideration of Executive business was
then resumed.
House of Representatives, April 4, 1854.
The Speakor laid beforo the House a num
ber of memorials from New Mexico, asking
appropriations for various objects; which wero,
on motion of Mr. Clingnviu, appropriately re
ferred.
. Mr. Houston, from the Committee of Ways
and Means, presented a number of estimates,
communicated to that committee by the Secre
tary of the Treasury; which were laid on the
table, and ordered to be printed.
On motion of Mr. Cobb, the special order
of the day, boing the bill to graduate and re
duce the price of public land, was jtostponed
for ono week.
Mr. Latham, from the Committee on Public
Lands, presented three bills, creating or con
firming the office of Surveyor General in each
ot tho Territories of Utah, Minnesota, and
Washington ; for donating lands to aotnal set
tlers therein, &o. Read twioo, and committed
to the Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Cobb, from the Committeo on Publio
Lands, reported a bill relating to certain school
lands in Alabama; which was forthwith put
upon its passage, and passed.
Mr. Bennett's bill, for equalising the distri
bution of lands among the several Statos for
purposes of improvements, being reported back
from the committee, Mr. Bennett proposed an
amendment thereto, which he debated at some
length; when
Mr. Clingman moved a suspension of the
rules, and that tho House should go into Com
mittee of the Whole. This motion prevailed,
and Mr. Clingman proceeded to deliver a
speech upon the Nebraska bill.
Mr. Clingman said he had voted for a bill
giving a Territorial Government to Nebraska
at the last session. A majority of the House
then thought with him that the Government
was necessary. But he thought the Senatg bill
was superior to the former, the "Clayton
clause'' excepted.
Ho said, the main point is, Shall the Territory
be open to everybody, or shall the Wilmot Pro
viso be applied to it ?
Mr. Clingman soon entered into a narrative
to show that the Whigs of the North were the
Anti-Slavery party, and that they had in past
times acted with dissimulation toward the
Whigs of the South. He had been a Whig
until within the last four or five years, when
be became independent of parties. He assert
ed that the Northern Whigs, true to their Anti
Slavery sentiments, had never recognised and
assented to the Missouri Compromise. They
have lost all their strength in the South ; and
what have they gained in the North ? They
have always been losing there. And why?
Because tho oquity of the claims of the South
are felt by tho people. The old men all re
member that Washington, Jackson, and other
Southern men and slave-owners, were always
dear to them.
Mr. Clingman also dwolt upon tho right of
the people of tho Territory to govern them
selves. They would l?ear all just taxes, and
pay them freely; but they must not be disfran
chised.
Mr. C. denounced the party or cliquo of Fed
eralists, or whatever else they may lie called,
who were opposed to this right; and he was
especially severe upon their organ, the Nation
al Intelligencer, which, ho affirmed, was ever
opposed to freedom, and in favor of whatever
was antagonistic to it He said this, although
it was only a newspaper!
Mr. Clinpman characterized the Almlition
ists of the North as malicious, contemptible,
mean, and oowardly, and not more impotent
than malignant. The opponents of the Ne
braska bill, be averred, were unwilling to
meet tho question on its merits. They appeal
ed to authorities and precedents. And what
comfort do they give thom ? The Constitution
of the Unitod Statos is Pro-Slavery in its every
clause Ktory clause of it tends to the pro
tection of Slaverf. They appeal to the views
of men seventy-hve years ago; but such views
havo long been exploded. The age is progres
sive. How would Franklin now compare with
the philosophers of the present age ? Yet, in
ndthjng has there been more improvement
than in the science of government-.
There was once a-notion of negro equality;
but who entertains it now ? Do the Freo
Statos' See bow Indiana and Illinois pro
scribe the negro. Connecticut voted four to
f>ne against T?ermitting him to vote; so did
New \ ork. No free State is friendly to him
or acknowledges his equality. There is a dif
ference Itetween tho races, and the inferior
cau only be injured by being left to himself
He was nowhere so well off as in our slave
States
The free Statos, oven with their constant in
gress of foreigners, had during the last ten
years gained but little upon the South in the
increase of white population, were not more
prosperous, and did not prodnoe and export as
much. It is true that a freo man does more
work then a slave ; but the aggregate popula
tion of the free States does not produce more.
And this was beoause, while the slaves all
work, a very largo number of people in the
free States do n?ft. Many are wholly idle, and
many devote much of thoir time to the acqui
sition of education. The slave States also con
tain as many churches, and fewor paupers.
Mr. Clingman also affirmed, that although
tho Abolitionists of the North alwavs make
much ado on the subject of Slavery, the North
dors not think or act with them. The North
always Bnally yielded in crises like the pres
ent. Voting for tho reception of Texas, for the
Fugitive Bill, and various measures of the kind,
was nronounced an unpardonable sin, and each
Northern man so voting was said to havo dug
his grave; but, while they were all returned t<>
this Hottso, the fanatic Abolitionists had been
kept at home. ?
The pulpits of tho North had been devoted
to the abuse of Slavery, and sermons full of
rhetoric and ignoranoe had been sent abroad
That was the rooson, he alleged, that the North'
was so overrun with infidelity.
Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania, followed. He
did not wish to do more than voto for the Ne
braska bill; but it had heoome necessary that
he should here defend his vote. Mr. Wilmot,
who lived in the district adjoining his own, had
been making speeches to a meeting, said to
b? large, of his constituents, at Carbondale. A
consequence of this proceeding was, that three
petitions had been sent to him in favor of the
Nebraska bill, signed by 104 of tbe leading
oitiiena.
Mr. Wright watt iu ftvwof tbt bill, because
it was in fuvor of State rights and lb<< *over
eignty of the people. H? asked no ohange in
it, except striking out the Clayton amendment
which tbe ohairwau of the Committee uu -Ter
ritories hud assured tiim that committee was
prepared to do.
Mr. Wright also proceeded to show by doc
umentary proof, that in every instance where
it was proposed to increase the territory of tlie
United Stutos, there had been a party opposed
to it.

Caleb Cu*hing--the Whig loader has succeeded To
elect anothor I>emocrntic President in jwrfectly im
possible. Indeed, we arc already tired of negro pol
itic* ; but, however, here 1* an important declaration,
or revelation, on the subject. The Abolitionist*, or
Free-Soiler*, those who are not demagogue*, and act
with good intention*, send to lAbena every year a
handful of free civilised negroes; whilst twenty thou
sand wild negroes from Africa are introduced every
year in the Southern State*. I am ready to give
<? *oct information, privately, that in the city of New
York, one, two, three merchant*, (three, at least, I
know,) are engaged in the traffic of Slavery, sending
ship* from the port of New York alurost every week,
with Hraxilian. Portuguese, and Spanish pnmptrta,
(forged pasaport*. I dare say,) to the port* of Portu
guese Africa. That i* a kind of speculation a In
(iardiwr, where many in high *tation* have a *hare.
The commerce of Slavery with Africa i* in reality
a foal crime, that may be brandod a* felony or pira
cy. The slavt* froui Africa are *ent to Brazil and
Cuba; from Cuba they are *niuggled into the States of
Louisiana and Mi**issippi. All the oommcrce of Sla
very with Africa is made by Northern men in the
port of New York.
Rut I have not finished. The two Compromi*es
were open acta of de*poti*m?the violation of the
Federal Constitution, because our Constitution doe*
not allow any kind of compromise*, which are a scan
dalou* infraction of the sovereign State Right# . nev
ertheless th?y have passed, as a krr.tr h of our poiitteal
engagements. The South really wishes the Nebras
ka Bill, or otherwise the separation from the North,
with the sola view to live in peacc, and to hove her
ftrtrprrty safe. The English Government paid eighty
million of pound* sterling for the emancipation of the
slaves in the British West Indie* Whatever may be
my good feelings in Itehalf of rmunripat ion
for the negro, for the whit?, and for all, [ can say by
experience, that to dig a cane-hole In a cane-tield,
under a burning sun, or to cultivate a cotton Held,
it the work of slaves errlnsireli/; for no frjoe man,
nny.no free negro, will ever *ubmit to *uch hard
work ; and it is another fact, that the labor of the
*lava* supports two-third*, or nine tenths, of all the
factories and manufactories of the North In all
this I give not a sole opinion of mine?it is entirely
a record of fact*. The Southern people are constant
ly in debt to the North for n sum of millions, surpass
ing in value all the slaves of the South , the Ihsnnion,
of conrsa, will compel the slave owners to docMre a
bankruptcy, and thus to settle all their bill* with the
North. In the event of a war between the North and
the South, (tJod forbid it!l Liverpool, London, and

We shall sell cheaper thun wo ever have done; and
in having one price only (which, in our opinion is

less we shall have a large accession ol new customers,
who prefer to buy where one. fair price only i* omLcJ.

To those |>ersons who may visit Washington, and
are in want of a boot that cannot be excelled, either
in quality or workmanship, we would call their atten
tion to the card of Henry Janney, to be found under
the head of " Washington." A handsome and neat
ly-made boot is not at all times a source of pleasure
to the wearer, but often one of extreme torture; this
is caused by thu bnngling manner in which the boot
is fitted to the foot. Mr. Janney ha* devoted much
of his time in stndving the construction of the human
foot, in order to ascertain how a boot should bo cut
and fitted, that will be perfectly easy to all parts of
the foot. In this he has succeeded, so that.it matters
not what may bo the shape of or tho number of corn*
on the foot, his boot is perfectly easy. Thus he has
combined beauty with comfort.
