And what are the matters in con Rn troversy between us? I will tell you ent gentlemen: for although much ha been said, and much lias been writ the ten here about the compromise acts vae ' I very murth doubt whether any c you know what compromise mean . ?what was proposed to by the pas >e sago by the passage by Congress o -si-; the so called comnrom'su arts. ion very much doubt, gentlemen vvheth llu] er any of you have read the compro inise arts, or have read the speechei which were delivered both for ant ,n against those measures. Gentlemen >ns I very much doubt if there are si: o! per ons in New Orleans who coin prchond the conviromise acts, ion Gcntlcmtjtv uie most astute am I cunning intriguer and politician o on* the country got up certain measure for the purpose of cheating the Soutl an lg.vjng power to the North; ant ill order to d;sg use those measure ?in order to blind the South as t< their true object, he christened thou ew a ^compromise." Gentlemen, as i lis consequence of the late war with Mil; ler iro, we gained a va-1 territory on th >le, Pacific?we gained (California ani ;et* TTtah% .nd New Mexico. Wegiiu iMi ed this vast territory with the com vill mon blood ana treasino?with thi :ng common blood and treasure of 1 h< North and the South?and we lie'i it in equal right; the North had i " is | right to go there?the North with ii nn. I property, and the South with its prop his i ertv. ?ht I Thus our relations stood, when t ft i handful of adventurers, urge I on bj rig 'he (Government at Washington, erec m- ted California into a State, with th< ier Wilmot Proviso in its constitution ex am eluding the Sout frorv all parhcipa i tioft in the soil which its blood an< ftly ! treasures had contributed to win. / handful of advent m ors seized upoi H, the territory?a territory of four lain ?e- died and forty-eight thousand si: tfe hundred and ninety-one square miles lye extending nine huiulr.xl andseveni; f>id miles dn the Pacific?a territory, four fill fifths of which they had never seer and declared that the South ahouii Ivuve no part or lot in it. Then i was that the WebMera and QJay j plotted together to rob the South and 1 j I to strengthen the North, by giving i to free soil all the territory wnich the - late war won from Mexico. They \ plotted?and to cheat and blind the - South as to the true character of the 1 measures they proposed, they called r' them a compromise?the compromise f ! arts?ininkmg that by thus gilding I, the pill, the South would readily - swallow it. Gent'emen, it was this compromise - Which 1 fought aga'-ust; it was this j surrender of the rights of the South? 8 of Louisiana?that I opposed, and for j which opposition I was denounced - by the Press. But, gentlemen, the - compromise was carried, and you 1 nic slaves?slaves to'lie North- The 2 Northerner may go with his roo'ies - and his peons, into Now Mexico, or t Utah, or California, and enrich him-, - self with the inexhaustib'e wealth of j their mines, but ihe Southerner can) not go there: and now, every day, yon 1 see the gold of California carried by - your doors, while you are not permitt ted to approach it. \ ! Gentlemen, ihe passage of the com r j pronnv? bills was treachery lo the J : South, and as an Americon Senator p 1 T opposed lhem. Wore my voles to i, | be given?were my acts lobe done u ; again, I won'd vo'.e and act asi did :i | vole and as 1 did an4, without regard L-1 even, to the olftmdr of the people, o Gentlemen although I voted alone, II with no voice the cheer mo, without [, support from any quarter, 1 would, J as your Senator, vole as I have voled I- 1 would save tlin iwmln mrnind - ? r~ 1? I ,l the people. s Gentlemen* pardon mc for a few j seconds?1 will not Retain you lonjr u I feel that 1 have already trespassed - upon your patience; bin, gentlemen, i- let me tell you that the late war with | Mexico has entailed upo,n the Genert j al Government a debt of one hundred i~ millions of dollars?a debt which j must be paid within the next fifteen s years. Now, by the operation of the t tariff laws, seventy-five millions of >- this debt are to be paid by you?you J w"'M be required to pay sevent-fivc e millions of dol'ars within the next s fifteen years.

Gen'lcmen I. voted ag-vnst c formincr two free States out of Texi as. and I am told that public opinion J ?that the public opinion of Louisiana is against me. i Gentlemen, I care very little for j i, the opinion of this city. New Ors leans is un ler Yankee influence?an influence which we must get rid of;, i, ; but if the op'n:on of the people of the i ,f State is against me, and that opinion s 1 is made known to me officially, in (KA nnlt; urnf i?i MIKIAU T /*<*? i- ?uv win y *tut m vvufli ti j i*fin I?M; .f J cognisance of it, the people will soon I : learn that the Senatorial robe has no - charms for me. -1 Gentlemen, one word more. Some s dastard, unworthy, perhaps, of a no| , tire upon this occasion, has distorted i,; certain words which fell from me in i the Senate chamber, in a late debate, - and by giving to them a forced con- j struclion. would justify a charge of 1 cowaidice which has been urged; f against me. Gentlemen, 1 owe to i 5 | Louisiana all that I am; and when I ! li , forget her?when I prove recreant to j I ' any of her best interests, may this j s 1 heart cease to beat. Let the conflict; a come between the South and North ii let ihe first gun be fired on the part [i i of Louis'ana, and in that conllict, ic j show me the man who will dispute c with me the honor of being the first I to meet the enemy! i- With these remarks, gentlemen, I i bid you good night. r Southern Florida?
