CAROLINA SPARTAN. \ [From the Washington Union.] 3SSAT8& SCTLEfS SfCECH 9? E1JISAS. ' We Intel Wore our readers lately the elo- , que let speech made hi tho Senate some days ago by Judgo Butler, on the questions con- ( uected with Kansas affairs. '1 here are two or three points in this speech which made a powerful impression in the Senate chamber when it was delivered, and they have been admired by the whole country for the lofty patriotism of their sentiments as well as the ehi<Uling eloquence of their language. We refer (i nrticulariy to his earuost and impassioned vindication of tho character of Central Atchison, and his equally earnest and impressive rebuke of tho assault made by Mr. Halo upon tho Supremo Court. In , the cou'r? of the soeech of Mr. llarlnn, on Thursday last, he alluded to tho remark of Mr. Butler made in tho speech referred to, in which ho said that ho would rather that the Union should be dissolved in preference to being in a Union without the protection of a constitution which gives him equality. Mr, Harlan construed this remark to mean that Mr. Bullor preferred a dissolution of the Union rather than that tho peoplo of the Territory^sliould have the power to exclude slavery from it. Mr. Butler was absent when the allusion was made; but after Mr. Harlan had concluded, the following remarks were made: "Mr. Butler.?Sir, I say now calmly, that when a northern maioritv shall ncuuire such a control over the legislation of this , country as to disfranchise the slaveholding { Stales in any respect in which they have i an equality under tho Constitution of the ; country, I will not agree to live under this ( Government wheu the Union can survive the Constitution. Thnt is my sentiment. 1 am not a slave to submit myself to legislation controlled by mere discretion. Mr. Piesident, if George Washington and benjamin Franklin, and the wisest men who ever lived, were to come hero and attempt to legislato under the dictates of mere discretion, aud should do me an injustice, 1 would bo n crnvon and a traitor to tho principles of Magna Charta?to everything which I have learned from tho highest sources of history?if I could submit to any measure that would |?lace my children the ninety-nino-hundredth pait of au inch beneath the children of the Senator from Iowa. "Mr. bell, of Tennessee.?I do not wish to interfere in this matter, but 1 will state what I understood the Senator from Iowa to say. "Mr. butler.?I did not hear his ren:nrk; I was not hero when ho inndo it. j "Mr. Bell, of Tennessee.?The Senator ! from Iowa took tho distinct ground, that tho I interpretation of the views of the gentleman from South Carolina was, that the 'equality* of which he spoke consisted in the citizens of tho Southern States having the right, during the whole period of territorial governments I:: the Territories, to go there I with their slaves before a constitution ' was formed. I understood the SeualV1" i from Iowa to say that the Senator from South Carolina had denied thnt the people of the Territory of Kansas, under their organic law, could exclude slavery, if they should think proper, at the commencement of their territorial government, but inu.-t admit slavery until the Territory shall be admitted into the Uuion with a Stale constitution. That is what I understood him to say. "Mr. Duller.?This is rather an ambnl.v j tory kind of issue. I cannot find out what is the meaning of tho Senator. "Mr, Harlan.?I will state to the honorable Senator from South Carolina what 1 said. Tho honorable Senator from Tennessee has fairly preseuled the argument; but my view was based on the statement of the honorable Senator from South Carolina, mid tho honorable Senator from Georgia, [Mr. Toombs.] It was argumentative I merely. I quoted, as nearly as I could re- ; member, the substance of the remarks of i the Senator from South Carolina; and then , , I interpreted the meaning of his phroseology by quoting from tho speech of the Senator from Georgia. "Mr. Ilale.?That is it, exactly, w "Mr. Duller.? Well, sir; I want no eo partnership with anybody in making speeches. If the Senator from Iowa were on tho tripod to morrow at the Delphic oracle, I would not take his interpretation <of my speech. He might place a l'ythia there, and instruct her, and I'bilipiso her, if he chose, but 1 would not take bib interpretation. Why, sir, I avoided that very question in regard to tho powers of the territorial government. Ho cannot find a word in my speech upon that question. The potential faculty of a territoiial gov eminent is one over which I should cxoi- ( cise a very 'delicate control. I u ver v contended thai I desired n law to c.irry , slavery into any Territory, and I never wanted a law to exclude it. All that 1 have contended for is, that the common domain of this government, acquired by the common Mood and Measure of all parts of the United States, shall be just as free to one class of citizens as to another. When the people'of a Territory are in the process of approaching what may bo called the maturity of their territoiial existence?a Stato government?I say much is to be patdoned to the opinion which prevails at the time. Hut, sir, ifan insulting interference were to bo made by a majority of * on g i es?, or surh an inlet fir fence as would i exclude ft ilaveholt'er on the broad ground j (lint he wa? unworthy if equality with a non-alftveholding population,do yon suppose I would stay in the l-Tnion if I could get out of it} i "That is lha true doctrine. I do not wish to live under tins government when (ho constitution perishes. I believe the gentleman is or lias been iu the cburch. [Mr. Harlan. Yes, sir.J 1 have very i great respect for the church, and for the . Senator, but 1 fear he contends that, while the letter killclh, the spirit cannot give life." Asothkr Arctic Kxtkoition.? Welenrn from die New Iynmton .Star that i)r. Kane, accompanied Mr. Henry Griunell, were recently in that city for the purpose of 'examining the ship Reoolntc, with view uf her fitnexa for another conflict with ie? doin ' From this we might Ic led to infer that another expedition to the North Polo?probably to explore the newly d'aoovercd jio'nr aea?was pro- ( jeeted.' The expedition is n laudable one and promises rich laurel* to whomsoever shall undertake nnd ancinWully accomplish it. The legislature of Oregon h d adopted a memorial to the President nuking for the removal of (jell. Wool front the command ol the U. 8. troops { | on the Pacific. The memorial charges him with i inactivity, ui.d a refusal to send the U. S. troops to I the aid of tlio volunteer forces operating againstthe warlike Indians, or to supply thcm^'l- arms ? and ammunition a t|i<ir tific o( peed. Tike UBfilthfotiMi tt J artn. The New York Courier* commeuting upon e charge delivered by ? judge of that wj city to a grand jury, makes some remarks |M! re'.'.live to the responsibilities and tiro unfaithfulness of jurors that may bo rend with advautago In oilier localities than that fol for which thoy were specially designed: :c< Judge Capron dwells wi(h just emphasis jt upou tho sanctity and supremacy of law, .)r snd nobly viudicates ils claims upon its lo >wn aworn ministers, llo has not spared ihe jury-box itself, which judges arobultoo tn *pt to treat as if, like tho throno, it was pfl 'hedged In with divinity." Ho tolls tho .,a ajrand jury plainly, that petit jurors, like j, >ther public servants, are capable of being nc Actuated by bad motives, and that their ;9 conduct is justly subject to inquisition. Wo sre glad at least to hear this stylo of speech. |,j It is a positive fact that one of the principal causes of llio groat impunity of criino iu j? this city has beon tho unfaithfulness of po- pC lit jurors in wilfully preventing an ngiee- i jjj meat upon a verdict. The juror in the Into tH] Kbling case, who, according to tho publish- , Wi cd statement of one or his fellows, refused jjj lo consult, with the declaration that til! the .,| City Hull rotted down ho would never 1 ?i agree to a verdict which should send Eb ! ling to tho Stale prison, was but ono of a contumacious class of jurors who have for , years weighed liko an incubus upon tho administration of justico in this city. lie ,n flagrantly violated his oath to give a true [K verdict according to evidence, and as richly ' ol deserves tho State's piison : s any pcijurer | |,j now within its walls. Nay, more; for the I or false words of a witness upon tiio stand may jL bo neutralized by cross-examination or over- ; boino by other evidence; but tho false con- ; duct of a juror utterly and inevitably : wj thwarts and foils tho end of justice in the j pending trial. I \| It is a difficult and invidious task, wo 1 (j, know, to judge between tho firmness of a , lu conscientious conviction and the contumacy ! of a foregone conclusion; but it is a subject C(j upon which the law lias a light to make inquiry and pass judgment, and upon xv which public opinion, too, has a right to express itself. There is nothing in the function or character of petit jurors that cr should any more shield them, in tho case t], of unfaithfulness, from public animadver- re sion or from legal punishment than any j other class of public servants. In fact their |0 guilt, if guilty, is deeper, for it is propor- | nT lioncd to tho sacredncss of tho responsibili ,,, ty intrusted to them; and what civil re | sponsibilily can be like the juror's? Who j like liiin decides upon character, life, liberty | |n and property? Loid Brougham said that j? "the wbolo machinery of government- ' King, Lords, and Commons?is simply to j n< get twelve men into a jury-box," and the cr expression is not too strong to those who M believe as we do that the highest interest jc of human society is justice, and that even tp freedom is secondary to it. Our jury boxes jj have been open to evil influences in a way .j they should not have been; their character uj must bo redeemed, and Judge Cnpron has 1 a, entitled himself to tho public thanks, in 1 c] Coldly declaring the necessity*. j jn | tl Jolly Exlravognnc.'. , fll A debate in the Senate on Wednesday ' ^ last discloses some precious facts touching i the expenditures of the Government in the | matter of printing mul publishing books p and maps in illustration of tho liavcls of ^ naval gentlemen nnd other officials. What ; ^ will the render think when he is told that ' ^ the cost of publishing Lieut. Wilkes' book, which gtew out of the Antarctic exploring | ir expedition, has already amounted to a ; . million and a quarter of dollars? So says ' p Mr. Clayton* in the debate to which we re- i for. lie also stated that Commodore I'or- ^ ry's book on Japan has cost tho Government two hundred thousand dollars, while ' three hundred is the estimate for printing : the reports and engraving* of the teconnoi- | j*! sauces of tho Pacific railroad routes. These . .j. expenses, let* it bo remarked, are not for , nut' ivnrlr .liinn in ntnu.lili/ni? but are simply tlio cost of getting an ac- J count of them upon paper, in readiness for 1,1 circulation. Was there ever such nboini- j nable extravagance nnd waste of the public v\ money this? Si No wonder that Mr. Ctitlenilen exclaims j that the Senate of the I'nitcd States has1 an become a great publishing house, outvie v.; ing even the Harpers in the extent, ami jj magnificence of its publications. The ro- ' cognition of the fact, we a?o glad to sec, disgusts him with-tho whole business, and ki leads hill, to declare that he wishes to see v" an end put to it. It is the same with Mr. j ' Clayton, who is not less emphatic in his r denunciation of these schemes of individual .1,! profit and glory. We should like to know nil how much money the various individuals ''' connected with the.-o several publishing en- | terjiriscs have made. It would be a cm ions ?u exposure if they could be anatomized and by laid bare to a wondering public. Yet these ; are but samples of works of the same des ^ ciiption doiio by tho same authority, and at the same prodigal cost. There will be lb but too much rejoicing if tho venerable Senators from Delaware ami Kentucky do ^ not become mollified by time and familiai i ^ ty with these particular expenditures, and allow their spasm of economy to subside. , i<?. It takes a flinty nature to resist the bland c'* seductions of the federal capital in the in *t;| ^ tor of tlio expenditure of money for what ever purpose; ana we conies, not without f,c emotions of regret, that it is not such gen ti.i tlcinen ns the Senators we have name<] to ! whom we iook for consistent devotion to '' the maxims of frugality. Of our eminent * " public men, it is true, that we liiul tlicir j be impulses often right, and their spontaneous wt (sentiments as frequently just; hut it i? also ! ll" true that neither stand the test of a vigor i to Otis prcsstiio. "Greatness," said Mr. 1'mike Ull ' is never exact." No doubt tho npothegm was invented by him to cover just such M cases as public life is constantly affording of a generous disregard of tlio vulgar mat* ter* ot'dollars and cents. . s r We are on the high road so long- trod > * by European Governments, spending lav*! u* islily and without stint,encouraging prodi- "" gality and profuseiu'ss is every branch of |i; expenditure, and lending ultimately to the a same results?eiioim >u? national debts and corresponding taxation to support them. jj| Tho remedy to ho found, and the only remedy of which the easo admits, is the j election of honest public servant*. Jt i ill not men of smartness, not men of political )'? skill, not men of eloquence, not fluent ' ,, talkers, that are needed in Congress, hut ?,j men of business capacity and rigid integri- ac Sr. These, and these only, ore tho salt ' ? tlint is to snvo our institutions and Govern* "" ment.?N.
