All ‘these things he saw at Washington, passing before his eyes, and it was sotorious . thatthe destruction of the government was decreed by these-desperate men, and that the election of Lincoln and Hamlin was welcomed by them as affording a coveted opportunity. If it is said that the South had cause for secession in that the fugitive slave law was not enforced, they had the same cause under Pieree and Buchanav. But he had beard the concasrent testimony of Senators Pugh, Bigler, Douglas, Fiten and Bright that the law was enforced as fully as any United States law thatthe passage of peas libert a cause. Those bills within their borders. It is idle to say bills was existed under Pierce, and some of them were passed as early as 1835, and they had become so effete and worn out by age as to be almost forgotten tll the ery against them was raised. If it is urged that the South had reason to fear its exclusion from the common territories the fact is that in the vast area of New Mexico, the only territory now belonging to the United States where any one claims that slavery can pro ay anges exist, tected by the express the institatien is lecal law of the territory, and Congress has not pretended to interfere. All the protection possible to extend hy law has been given, and yet in all that ample territory only thirteen slaves are to be found. The striking insincerity of such excuse is apparent from the fact that in the last Congress, when Davis’ resolutions were under consideration in the. Senate, stating that ,it was within the power of Congress to protect slavery in the territories, ar amendment was_offered that there was a need that Congress should now p ws to, protect slavery in-the territories, and ro three votes were given in ment. r of the amendDavis and Benjamin, Toombs © and others, leadersin the presént waragainst the overnment, votéd ity for-such protection. The théory of secession was irrational and It was declared that one portion ofthe Union, without regard to the rights, safety or happiness of the rest, could sever r-. its connection from the Government; equld i the Government property ‘in its midst, form, foreign alliances and introduce foreign troops upon its, seil, and claim a‘diillo; seize u gical. that there was ho necessvision of the public property—could file a bill in equity to dissolve partnership aad wind up ern the concern. ment te own ; (Laugliter. seeing the necessiiy that exis Jeffersen, for our govrame e Louisiana territory, to give an outlet to the teemi one day must occupy the w: amillions _ that , stretched the evnstitution alittle, and-paid milhons to Napoleon for it, then exhausted by his vast European wars, and willing to sell it.
