BURT addressed the louse substan tially as followe Before:1 proceed, Mr. Speaker, to pre sent such views of the topics which have been introduced into this debate as i may be able to compress into the brief space allotted ine by your rules, I feel cou strained to totice a remark of the honor able. gentleman tm New York, (Mr. Beardttey.) Whean that gentleman ad dressed the House ont the question now under consideration, lie thought fit to say -not, to be sure, as the -announcement of a fact, but' as the expression of a confideot opiion-"He took it for granted, that, in regard to slavery in the abstratt; there ex isted at the North and at the West and at the South, but one sentihtant ;" and very intelligibly intimated that, in all 'the'e se tions of the Confederacy; it is admitted to be a great evil; he, idweer;liid the con siderateness- perhaps the charity-to ac quit the present generation orthe "Iiiil't," as he was pleased to say, of ihat institu tion. Now, sir I do not pretend to know the relation, which th~at gentleman bears to parties at, the.North,.nor do I choose to inquire the meotis n-hich he possesses ol' ascertaining Northern "sentiment"- or Westerta "sentiim'est" on the subject of slavery. I feel, I assure you, sirt.as little .concern whtethel- diat "sentiiat" be fa - vokable or adverse f6 jst institution. But T.will not permitmtyself readily to believe, - (whatever opinion on this..subject they may s.taertain,) .that the .people of any consid ,erable portionf of thius country are utterly afithIke a n' reereanit to the high and sa er dscligauions of the Constitution itvsir, no ideu of the rneditkifi thro' * abich-the gotlema2 from New Yolk ob * titis access to. opinioan .in the Southern Sdates.on-this subject, or on any subject ~of apur'ely .local and domestie nature;.nor 'alp I ventaire 1o conjecture tbe, authority by91ioh-be feels himself just.fied in as eumiing to be the organ of that opition in this House. Hie will, howev'er. I traist, not deem it presumptuous in a represera )tative of a SoutheruState, :oprofess as full and accurate knowledge of the epin ions and sentimenits which prevail at the South concerning a merely Southern in stitution, s5 he can enjoy,-and at least -eqjnal. authority to declare them in this BlofRdepresentative. Sir, whatever mnay'bEthe opinions of mankind, elsewhere sofa'iCthe remarks of the gentleman from New Ybrk was intended to apply to the-State in whieb 4- tesi-de, and of which I have the honor to be-agrepresentative, I take reav- to declare tou him and to the. world, on my own resisibility, tomy' constituents, to whom I appeat for the. truth of the declaration, that ie never ut tered or entertaimed an opinion-"more ab-. solutely destitute of all foundation. Sir, I. have yet to learn that public opinion in. South Carolina, at any period of its hier toryhas~even questioned-the moiality' of the expediency of that instil'utioi4. Eni Stehtaining theiopinions which .were fliel'd by their ancestorsvghe. present generation: hamnnn DOaf the spirit of their jllnstrinou compromises. on this stabject be 'ealml reviewed ; and upon their taithfulmainte nance, as the basis of our Federal-systen depe'dd-'the istabiliiy a'nd permanence of union which never 1would have existe without.themi and cannot, and ought no 'io endure, if they b iot honestly an scrupulously observed. rhe importation of native Africans ihti the colonies of North America, to be hel in slave'ry the most unqualified and abso lute, was tpproved no tess 'by the minis try and sovereign of Great Britain that the inhabitants of the colonies tbemsellres The sIgloniea -of the east,lt' lieuld be ad mittedere the earliest to declare thei disaprobafion'of this egiecies ofconmerce although some of its citizens were the las to desist froina traffie so gainful.. How fat the opinions of individuals, or of sebts,-d colonies, in New England, .were affected by the onproductiveness of slave labor. it istiot imaterial to inquire; but it is nht ro be denied that .African- slaves cisteclat the Declaration rof Independence in all the coloises. The Southern States itisiste in the Cuanention, that 'tiis'importatiot of slaves into their borders should not be prohibited: by the-plan "of .overnment to be adoted, and -proifosed that the 'oArol q'rtshotd be reserved to the States, oi that the - right to make such importations should, for a. limited time, be -guarantie] to oS ther- delegaies decla'red.-i e aversion-of their constituents to a polley ac odion; -and their own uncompromising tiostili!y to a ebmnmerce io inhnmko. Mr. Baldwin. of Georgia, regarded the objec' tion o this el'auseas "an ttempt to abridge one of the favorob 1p'e'ogatives of the STieth;".ane, declared that Georgia was "decided 6n the point." Mr.- Williamson, of North Cirolla, "thought the Southern $tates could not he members of the union, if ths 'elause should. be rejected." Mr. Rutledge, of South Carolina, said: "f 'the'con'vention think that North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia will ever agree to the-plan, unless their right to im port slaves be -untouched, the expectation is vain." Mr. Sherman, said "It was better to let the Southern States import slaves, than to part with them, if they made it a sinequa non." The year eigh teen hundred was designated by the com mittee to which the subject had been re ferred, as the period when the importation should cease. Mr. Pinckney. of South Carolina? moved, in the convention, to strike out eighteen hundred, and insert eighteen hundred and eight. This motion was seconded by Mr. Gorham, of Massa chusetts, and prevailed. When the power of amendment was tinder consideration, Mr. Rutledge moved a pro iso, that no amendment of the Con stitution, prior to eighteen hundred and eight, should aff'ect.the rightsof the States to itmiport slaves. He declared that "he cotld never agree to a power by which the itrticle relating to slaves might he al tered by the States not interested in that property and prejudiced against it." On each of these propositions Massachusetts gave her vote in favor of that "inhuman arid abominable traffic," as the gentle rrin fron Massachusetts, (Mr. Winthrop.) is pleased to characterize the. petty triade in this District. Sir, upon these facts, I submit it to that gentleman, and his cdn stit uebts, to pronounce whet her it becoies him to utter this denunciation of his own Conimonwealth. - In the articles of confederatiol no pro vision existed for the recovery of slaves that fled from their masters to States in which slaery had been abolished. ..In some of the Eastern States the right of the owner to recapture his fugitive slave as denied; a nd In one of them, the attempt to i-etake d 'slave that had escaped wvas openly rcdicd by the violence of a mob. The inisettirity to property arising from the facility of escape, end .the .diflicnlty andl ha~tard of i-ecovery, induced the Southera States to require a provision, in the nat-urt of a treaty stipulation, iletsveen the States, for the surrender of fugitive slaves. Thai provision in the Constitution was assented to, not only by every State,.but by every member of the convention. .It is a dis tinct and unequivocal recognition of prop erty in slaves-an admission that suct property shall lie protected by the laws o. each Stare, and an obligation on each ;c aid the uwner in the recotery of his fugi tive slave. In adjusti:.2 the bai dIrideatiot iii the 'popular branch' of Ctdress, th: Southefti mtats insisted (ibdt slaves shduk be einbraced In tile .edutmeidi ot per. sons, on which ihat repireseiitation is foun. ded. The Northern States protested ear nestlg and zealously against a propoliition whicli they deemed disparaging, to~ tiji f'reembat4 and odtotis to the people of thi North.. ir. Butler and. General .Pinckney, o South Carolina, contended that black: should be included in the rate of represen tation equally with whites. Gouverueo Morris and others declared their insupera ble aversion toi slatery, and their- deter mriined opposition ini any t-epresentation e it Mr. Davie; of North Carolina, sai< "he saw it was meant by some gentlemel of;the North to deprive the Souther States of any representation. for thei blacks. *He was sure that North Carolia would~ never confederate on ainy terms thes didf not 'rate thema as at-leaui tbr'e--Gths. )n. this point the Northern add Easter 'Statee'agaiti yieled, and the present be sis of repi'esbhtation and direct taxes, b whleh thiree-Bths of the slaves are enume rated, was'the patriotle coemproniiko of cot flicting opinions. When the clanner which' connrsr upo 4aers'and -are unworthy to bear their hoored names, if they did. not repel, as a Stain op, their " own personal hoa or any reflections upon the morality of theirinti .tuitons.. Itis -dmitted bythe gentleman froi New York; that Congress iptrexercaie no jutisdiction over'slavery in the States, and -tbat wheiher publicopinion -in- the North and West be hostifet6 that institution,.is an ,inquiry that'bas 6o 'relevaicy to the 'iluestiob ader debate; and yet, witbqut purpose'or. propriety. heschooses gratni tously 'idd wantonly 'to introdoce rhat topic into this discussiotr. The municipal regulations and dovnestic policy ofra State are con iderations which address themselves 'to its own cit izens; and this hall is nutitle foruin in which they are to'be'discnsse.d. Whilst I will protfi 1ly :repel any imputiidn upon the. institutionS of; my State, I. am -e strained, no less by myuwn. self esteem 'han a just respect 'for ny corstttuets, fromuenteridsg-itnotay iddicanotr orthen IetC But, sir, I 'cboose to say, that lan guageeensiot utt'er the scorn wth.-which ihe'South 'contemns an deispses the u'p :eart and: huckstering nmorality which strives to: hold'tip to t'e reprobation. aft .the worlid that ancient institutian .t'owhich it ascribes muclj ibat' is il'ustfinedin 'is history and ennobling i iitsPoliey. And, sir, as a'Southern ina,) cast -b'@k to gentlemn every offensive -word and eli iet whicbhey nay be c6n'scions of hav ing applied, to it in -this discussion. The gentleman from flew York ,exhibits irrita tation and resentment if -tnyof reproach, toan instituto wi'l WAbich my coastittu ents and. myself are i'eitifed.;. and if my language is ofensiVe to hinm, 1 acIori-wl edge the ;right of the. anegry to detern'ine the mode and measures of his redress. Sir, let him.who caters for- the -shouirs of tie mobs of tWe .1tiib, address to. them such topics as may be suited 'o 'itei'logie -it is niouijsine'ss of nine but I protest that ihe slang of the husting s be not intro duced ii.thedebates of this 'House.. In proceeding .now, sir, t'ei cousider the precise question before the House, I shall onfine my remarks to the cardinal posi tion-the ;'head and front"-of the argu inot which urges the abandonment of the rulo against the reception 'of iucendiary petitions and nmemorials.. The duty of the House to rescind .hat lte is assumed as the correlati've o'f the right of petition ; and it is conceded, that if Congress has no urisdictin over the- matter of the' peti ion-no power to grant its prayer-the ights of the citizen are not. nbridge'd by tbe rejection of the petition in the most summary manner. That Congress should o as act so idle and nbgatory as to en, terain memorials upon subjects clearly not embraced within tho sphere of its powers. is a proposition so manifestly ab urd, that no one is'-found to maintain it. The memorials excluded by the rule which it is sought to abrogate-whatever else they may contain-pray that slavery be abolished in the District of Columbia ; and it is asserted that the right of "exclil sive legislation" iii this District, which is conferred by the Constitution, delegates to Congress the power to. abolish slavery. The fundamental principles of civil liberty repel the idea that Congress possesses such a monstrous power of confiscation rver the rights nod property of the citi en-a-power no less repugnant to the thory of our Federal Government, and the limitations of the Constitution, than to the statutes of Maryland and Virginia, by which the territory of the District was ceded to the Government of the United States.. - Upon this clause or the Constitution, id the statutes of -Virginia, and Mlary land, the jurisdiction of Coligrese over the ubject of slavery, so far; has been rested; nd T must be psrmitied to say, that the argument against its jurisdict ion is conclu ~sive and unanswerable. Yes, that vagrant fiend, which, in the unohtrusive and peace-' ul name of petition, wages a merciless nd infamous war of plunder and massa cre against the South, has been driven id'i the Constitution, .under which it sought shelter; then, like some grillty thing, it tiinidly and meanly skulkpd be hind the obselete rules and exploded prac tice of the British House of Commons ; but it has been dragged from even this iserable retreat. But, sir, oilier views of ihis question e suggested by the htiutery and provisions of the Constitdtin, io which I invite the bttention of the House4 and unless i greatly ver-estimate their imporante, they Will omonstrate that Congre ss possesses not a power connected with the mubjesti* fla vey, that was not desiged to protect and defend it, no less against domestic attack than foreign invasion. No subjeti e!at was submitted to th Convention which framed the Constitution o' the. United States, engaged more ear nestly and anxiously the deliberations of that auigust body, or brought into more alarming collission the sectional prejudi es of its members, than that of slavery. The South cherished it as a policy which she cbuld never abandon for any plan of Union, and at once atitmneed her uitsi terable purpose to: maintastr-it.. The Northern and Eastern Stases, entertain ing-the most settled 1rejudices against-it, after much reflection, and -i consideration of sectional advantages so be derived from -a confederation .with the Southern States, comproised their repugnance, and, as sented to provisions in the plan of a fede ral government which wvere deaigned to guarani atid'. protect this species icf jfr'o arty in:-ii6' SoutheS States. It bas now r Congress the power to "provide Ior call ing forth tbe militia 1o execute the laws of 'tre-Union, suppress insurrections and re t pel ig'vasios," -aId to-.itnpose ~upion tiWe I United States the duty of "protecting each t of them. against- invasion" and ."against I domestic violence," was under considera tion, Northern delegae(s again protested ga'inst the importation of slaves.- Mr. Kingiof Massachusetts, said. "the object of thegeneral system is defence- agai's't: foreign inyasion,-.and defence against in ternal sedition ;' and objected to the im pt;rtation of slaves, as increasing the dan ger of sedition in . one part of the United States, which another.was bound to de fend. -Mr. Gouverneur Morris.- said: "They 'the Northern States) ire 'to bind themselves to march their militia- for the defence of the nulthern States, for their defence.agaidst these very slaves agairst whom they complain." ."The Southern States'(said he) are not to 6e restrained from importing fresh supplies of wretched Africanis,;at .once to increase 'the danger of attack and -difficulties of defence. Nay, they are6to be encouraged to it, by tie as sirrance of having -their votes-in the na tional legislature.increased'in proportion." These, sir, are the provisions of the Con stituion'-which embrace the powers grant ed by th'e S'tates to the Federal Govern ment-their organ and instrument in re lation to -the sub inct of slavery. Their character and :objects are defined in the daiscussions which they underwent by the authors of the Constitction ; and they de monstrate that Congress has no otherju riediction over slavery, than the mere ministerial in-qualified power of aiding ,the States.in enforcing the absolute rights of the master. But, sir, slaves held ender the lawvs of the several States. at the adoption of the -Constitution. are not only recognized as property by the Constitution, but the right to import natives of Africa. to be held as property, is secured to the.States until the year 180S,.on the single condiibi that i tax not exceeding ten dollars. each might he imposed. on them; the Northern and Eastern States thus.aissenting to the traffic, and actually ' participating in its enolu ments. Theso . are the. compacts 'ebtkeen the Northern and Eastern and the Southern States; and the obligations and duties of the. former to protect and guaranty the propr'ty fifhe ratter in slaves. 'T'hey be come the comspacts: and obligations of any new State, ascoditins of admission into the Union. Equal reyeesnination ia the Senate, and the right of a majority in Congress to enact laws regulating commerce and nav igation, are the specific equivalents which were rindered by the South for these stip ulations in relation to slaves. In a note i6 the deliats in the Convention, Mr. Madison says. an understanding took place betwsed the North and South on the sub jects of navigation and slavery, and thus is'exilained the votes of the Eastern States on all the provisions contiected with the lattek. If, sir, this Government were ndt the tiere agency of the States, exercising no other powers than those that have been delegated for specified objects and purpo se$ and therefore limited in its action, it still.would be bound, .6y all the sacred ob ligations that treaties impose upon 'nations, to abstain from any at t that impairs the titltor.value of that property which it has so distiunctly and amply guarantied to the South. I deeply regret to say that these guaratiesof the Constitution have been shaniefully violated by States that liave enjoyed largely the advantages of the com promiises on which they are founded. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has pro ceeded to the utmost verge of State sov ereignty, to prevent the recovery of a le gitive slave within her limits, by inter~po sing the shield of her laws for hisprotec .tion.- Similar statutes have been enacted in the States of New York, ,1enrisylyiia and Vermont. Encouraged by the seci rity of such legislation, an immense ntith her of slaves has fled to the non-slavehold ing States; and in no solitary instance has one been restored to.his master.. Such inducements to escape have .rendlereil .slaves comparatively. of little value to e!O terminous States; and must- evisntdall render tiiem utterly worthless.. .it in .not disgutised that individ,nals habituallyt in stigate and aid thefi to fice fronm their diwners, iri fidatio'n if'.the lairs or'thie slayehoJdiog States; and when , ibse fel ens have beena demanded under the terais of ite Censtitatitdo, as i-ceotly hasfen done of this itutheities of New York, Mas bachusetts and Maine, the demand, in ev bry instane has. been refused; and the refusal of the requisition has been put on the insulting pretence that their lawes do not recognie- the "right of one man to hold property in his fellow-wan;" and therefore a slave cannot be the subject of -larceny, even in States where slavery er Sisted. -.,But, sir, thse danger which. renaces. the -domestic institutions of the. don'th is not f confined within, the fltiiits of the non I glaveholding States. A band of orn Sieid and- wieckless incandiaries, 'embof a detsdb buch legialatio'n, and intrenehu r threroelveds behind public opinion in.th6 sStates, has proelaimed, a crusads d (~is t~ t and insceribed oin their desed setfla n er the~ inspious nlotto: of Jekation / O.'-lavery is-to be ab'olished ;'"It shich1d - be done if it is not supported by the CoV y sttion, and mtich mnore if it is." -Thef. -carry to ihe polls morehanflifly tosand bers.

These points of defeic surrendered, they proclaim..that' their ril 'imate object of etnancipatida in the State will be speedily and triumphantly aecoin pushed.
