but at all events whether rf v oo it or not it is our duty to do it — ,. ,[■ our duty to make the law more ef fective and i shall go with j,he senator iroin hcsc.uth who goes fan hest in making pgitaj laws and imposing the heaviest sanctions for the recovery of fugitive s | ave s and the restoration of them to their owners f president upon this part of the subject however allow me to make an observation or two i do not think the stales as states ought to be responsible for all tbe misconduct of particular indi viduals within those states i think that the slates are only to be held responsible when they act in their sovereign capacity if there are a few persons — indiscreet ; mad if you choose ; fanatics if you choose so to call them — who are for dissolving this union as we know there are some at the north and for dissoling it in conse quence of tbe connexion which exists be tween the free and slaveholding states 1 do not think that any state in which such madmen as they are to be found ought to ie v>e\d responsible for tlte doctrines they propagate unless the state itself adopts those doctrines sir there have been perhaps mutual , causes of complaint ; and j know al least i have heard that massachusetts for some of her unfriendly jaws on the subject of the recovery of fugitive slaves urges as the motive for the passage of those laws the treatment which a certain minister of hers experienced in charleston some years a ro mr hoar i think is the name of the individual who was sent to s carolina totake care of the free negroes of mas j gac-usetts that might pass to charleston ' in the vessels uf massachusetts i think it was a mission that it was hardly wor thy of massachusetts to have created i think she might have omitted to send mr hoar upon any such mission ; but she thought it right to send him anti he went ihere lor the purpose of asserting as he said the rights of those free people of co \ lor before the courts of justice and of testing the validity of certain laws in south carolina with regard to the prohi bition of free negroes from coming into her ports 1 believe that was the object that was the purpose of his mission he went thereto create no distuibance as 1 understand except so far as asserting those rights and privileges in the sense in which massachusetts held them might create disturbance he was virtually driven out of charleston as i believe he or some other emissary of the same kind was driven out of new orleans 1 do not mean to say whether it was right or wrong to expel him what i mean to say is that massachusetts or some of her citi zens has said that after finding this treat ment towards those whom she chooses to consider citizens on the part of south car olina she determined on that course of legislation by which she bas withdrawn all aid and assistance for the recovery ot fugitives and interposes obstacles and then she pleads the treatment of mr hoar as an apology 1 think that furnished her with no sutlicient apology if south car olina treated her ill it is no reason why she should illtreat kentucky and virginia and oiher slaveholding states that had done her no wrong but she thought so i mention both cases — the case of the expulsion of mr hoar from charleston and lhe passage of the laws of massachu setts—not by way of approbation of eith er but to show that there have been un happily mutual causes of agitation fur nished by one class of states as well as by the others though 1 admit not in the same degree by the slave states as by the free states and i admit also that the free states have much less cause for anx iety and solicitude on this subject of sla very than the slave states and that far more extensive excuses if not justification jl ought to be extended to the slave than the mfree states on account of the difference w the condition ol the respective parties mr 1 esident passing from that reso lution 1 will add only a single observa tion that when the bill comes up to be finally acted on i will vote most cordially and heartily for it mr davis of massachusetts will foe honorable senator permit me to in terrupt him for a moment 1 i want to ay one word in behalf of the state of massachusetts with bis permission mr cday certainly certainly mr davis i have never although tost likely he may have heard the apolo gy stated by the honorable senator for passing the law to which he has referred , ut - on the contrary 1 have always un derstood that the law which massachu 8el,t had br restoring fugitive slaves was fpealed because tbe courts below as !■"'}' understood it had pronounced their avv unconstitutional that is the ground wich ihey took ; whether they were wise in the legislation they adopted i shall not ; undertake to say but i wish to say one word in regard to the mission as it is termed hy the honorable senator from kentucky to south carolina if i call lite facts to my recollection correctly they are these we are the j owners of much shipping ; we employ many sailors and among them we employ free colored men men whom we in mas sachusetts acknowledge to be citizens of the united states and citizens of the com monwealth and entitled to the rights of citizens these citizens were taken from : our vessels when they arrived in south carolina and were held in custody till the vessels sailed again this our citi ' zens complained of whether justly or un justly that it was an encroachment in the lirst place upon the rights of citizens and in the next place that it was a great in convenience to men engaged in commerce if i remember rightly and i think 1 do the state of massachusetts authorized its governor to propose at the expense of the state to some suitable and proper person who was a citizen of south carolina to test the right to hold her citizens in cus tody in this way in the courts of the state 1 or in the courts of the united stales if 1 remember rightly ihat was declined by one or more citizens of south carolina — then the mission to which the honorable senator refers was instituted and the termination of it 1 believe he has correctly staled i wish it to appear that massachusetts had no aggressive purpose whatever but simply wished that lhe judiciary should decide thequestion existing between them she wanted nothing more asked nothing more mr clay mr president i hear with much pleasure this explanation i have | been informed however by an eminent citizen of massachusetts whose name it is unnecessary to mention — he is not a member of this body — that the motives for the repeal of these laws or the passage of these laws or at least one of the motives wits the treatment of mr hoar in charleston however i am glad to hear that it proceeded from another cause and ihat is what i conceive to be a mis conception of what the true opinion of the judges of the supreme court was when the true exposition of that opinion comes to be known in massachusetts i trust that the legislature of that state will restore the laws facilitating the recovery of fugi tive slaves and which she repealed in consequence of that misception mr president i have a great deal yet to say and i shall therefore pass from lhe consideration of this seventh resolu tion with the observation which i believe i have partly made before that the most stringent provision upon thissubject which can be devised will meet with my hearty concurrence and co operation in the pas sage of the bill which is under the consid eration of the senate the last resolu tion declares — •* that congress has no power to pro hibit or obstruct the trade in slaves be tween the slaveholding states ; but that the admission or exclusion of slaves bro't from one into another of them depends exclusively upon their own particular laws this if lhe resolution should be adopted is a concession — not i admit of any real constitutional provision but a concession from the north to the south of what is un derstood i believe by a great number at the north to be a constitutional provision take away the decision of the supreme court of the united states on thissubject aud there is a great deal i know that might be said on both sides as to the right of congress to regulate the trade between the states ; but i think the decision of the | supreme court has been founded upon | correct principles and i trust it will fore ver put an end to the question whether i congress has or has not the power to reg | ulate the intercourse and trade in slaves j between the different states such mr president is the series of ; resolutions which in an earnest and anx ! ious desire to present the olive branch to bolh parts of this distracted and at the present moment unhappy country i have thought it mv duty to offer of all men upon the earth i am the least attached to any productions of my own mind no man upon earth is more ready than i am to surrender any thing which i have propos ed and to accept in lieu of it any thing ihat is belter ; but 1 put it to the candor of honorable senators on the other side and upon all sides of the house whether their duty will be performed by simply limiting themselves to objections to any one or to all of the series of resolutions that i have offered if my plan of peace and accommodation and harmony is not riglit present us your plan let us see the counter projet let us see how all the questions that have arisen out of this unhappy subject of slavery can be better settled more fairly and justly settled to all quarters of the union than on the plan proposed in the resolutions which 1 have offerd present me such a scheme and i will hail it with pleasure and will ac cept it without the slightest feeling of re gret that my own was abandoned sir whilst i was engaged in anxious consid eration upon this subject the idea ol lhe missouri compromise as it has been term ed came under my review was consider 1 ed by me and finally rejected as in my judgment less worthy of the common ac ceptance of both parts of this union than the project which i have offered for your consideration before i enter into a particular exam ination however of that missouri com promise i beg to be allowed to correct a great error which is prevailing not mere ly in this senate but throughout the whole country in respect to my agency in the missouri compromise or rather in respect to the line of 36 deg 30 min which was established in 1820 by an act of congress i do not know whether any thing has ex cited more surprise in my mind as to the rapidity with which important historical transactions are obliterated and pass from the mind than when i understood every where that 1 had been the author of the line of 30 deg 30 min which was estab lished upon the occasion of the admission of missouri into the union it would take too much time to go over the whole of that important era in the public affairs of the country 1 shall not do it although i have got ample materials before me de rived from a careful examination of the journals of both houses i will not occu py your time by going in detail through the whole transaction but i will content myself with stating that so far from my having presented as a proposition this line of 36 deg 30 min upon the occasion of the consideration whether missouri should be admitted into the union or not it did not originate in the house of which i was a member it originated in this body as those who will cast their recol lection back and i am sure the honorable senator from missouri mr benton more correctly than any body else must bring to his recollection the fact that at the con gress when the proposition was first made to admit missouri — or rather to allow her to hold a convention and frame a consti tution and decide whether she should or should not be admitted into the union — the bill failed by a disagreement between the two houses the house insisting on and the senate dissenting from the provi sions contained in the ordinance of 1787 the house insisting on the interdiction of slavery and the senate rejecting the pro position of the interdiction of slavery the bill fell through ; it ditl not pass at that session of congress at the next session it was renewed and at the time of its re newal maine was knocking at our door to be admitted into the union in the house there was a majority for the re \ strict ion as to slavery in missouri ; in the 1 senate there was a majority opposed to : all restriction in the senate therefore i in order to carry through the missouri j bill or the provision for her admission — ! or rather authorizing her to determine the j question of her admission — that bill was coupled with a bill for the admission of i maine they were connected together ' and the senate said to the house •• you j want a bill for the admission of maine passed but you shall not have it unless you take along with it a bill for the ad mission of missouri also there was a majority a very large one in the senate for coupling both together well sir the bill went through all the usual stages of disagreement ot commit j tees of conference and there were two j committees of conference on the occasion before the matter was finally settled — and it was finally settletl to disconnect the two bills — to admit maine separately without any connexion with missouri and to insert in the missouri bill a clause pro posed in the senate of the united states by mr thomas senator from illinois re stricting slavery north of the line 36 deg 30 min and leaving it open south to that line either to admit it or not to admit it well sir the bill finally passed the committees of conference of the two hous es recommended the detachment of the two cases and the passage of tho missouri bill with the clause 36 deg 30 min in it and so it passed so it went to missouri so it for a moment quieted the country by means of the introduction of the clause 36 deg 30 min you will find i repeat sir if you will take the trouble to look at the journals that on as many as three or four different occasions mr thomas in every instance presented the proposition of 30 deg 30 min it was finally agreed to ; and i take occasion to say that a mongst those who voted for the line 36 deg 30 were the majority of the south ern members — my friend from alabama mr king in the senate mr pinckney from maryland and indeed the majority of the southern senators voted in favor of the line 36 deg 30 min ; and the major ity of the southern members in tbe other house at the head of whom was mr lowndes himself voted also for the line i have no doubt i did also ; but as i was speaker of the house at the time and the journal does not show how lhe speaker votes except in the case of a tie 1 was not able to ascertain by a resort to the re cords how i did vote but i have very lit tle doubt that i voted in common with my other southf rn friends for the adop tion in a spirit of compromise it is true of the line 3d deg 30 min well sir so lhe matter ended in 1s20 du ring that year missouri held her conveniion adopted her constitution sent her delegates to congress seeking to be admitted into the un ion ; but she had inserted a clause in her con stitution containing a prohibition ol free people of coior from that slate she came here with her constitution containing that prohibition and i immediately the northern members took ex ception to il the flame which had been re pressed during the previous session now burst forth wilh double violence through the whole union legislative bodies all got in moiion to keep out missouri in consequence of her in terdiction of free people of color from wil bin her limits i did not arrive at congress that session til january and when i got here i found both bodies completely paralyzed in con sequence of the struggle to exclude missouri from the union ia consequence of ihat prohibi tion well sir i made the first effort in the house to settle it i asked for a committee of ihir ] leen and a committee of thirteen was granted ' to me representing all the old states of lhe un i ion the committee met i presented to ihem a resolution which was adopted by he com mittee and reported to the house — not cnlike lhe one to which i will presently call the at tentien of the senate — and we should have car ried it in the house but for the votes of mr randolph of virginia mr edwards north carolina and mr burton north carolina — two oflhe three i believe no longer living — these three soulhern votes were all cast a gainst the compromise which was prepared by the committee or rather by myself as chair man oflhe committee of thirteen and defeated it well sir in that condition the thing remain ed for several days the greatest anxiety per vaded the country — the public mind was un settled — men were unhappy — there was a large majority of the house then as i hope and trust there js now a large majority in congress in favor of an equitable accommodation or settle ment oflhe question ; and the resolution would have been adopted i believe but when it came to the vote by yeas and nays unfortunately then more unfortunately then 1 hope than now there should be occasion for it now — there were few curtiuses and leonidases willing lo risk them selves for ihe safely and security of their coun try 1 endeavored to avail myself of that good feeling as far as i could ; and after a few days had elapsed i brought forward another propo silion ; a new one perfectly unpractised in this couniry either before or since as far as i know i proposed a joint committee of lhe two houses that of the house to consist of twenty-three members the number of the senate commit lee i do not recollect and that this committee should be appointed by ballot ; for at thai time mr taylor of new york was in the chair and mr taylor was the very man who had first proposed lhe restriction upon missouri he proposed that she should only be admitted on lhe principle of lhe ordinance of 1787 ; i pro posed therefore that the committee be appoint ed by ballot well sir my motion was car ried by a large majority ; and members came to me from all quarters of the house and said whom mr clay do you want to have wi»h you on the committee ?" i made out my list of twenty-three members and i venture to say hat that happened on that occasion which will haidly ever happen again eighteen of the twen ty-three were elected on lhe first ballot — and the remaining five on my list having the lar gest number of votes but not the majority i moved to dispense with any further balloting and that these five should be added lo the eighteen thus completing the committee of twenty-three one or two gentlemen mr livermore of n hampshire and one or two others declined lo serve on lhe committee ; and very much to my regret and somewhat to my annoyance lhe lamented mr randolph and another per son were placed in their situation — i forget whether done by ballot or by the speaker it is enough to say they were put on the commit tee well sir the senate immediately agreed to the proposition appointed its committee and j we met in this hall on the sabbath day with in two or three days of the close oflhe session when lhe whole nation was wailing with breathless anxiety for some final and healing measure upon the distracting subject which oc cupied our attention we met here on that day and accordingly the moment we met mr randolph made a suggestion which i knew would be attended with the giealesl embar ! rassment and difficulty he contended lhal 1 over lhe two houses lhe chairman of the house i committee had a right to preside and he was ! about to insist at some length that the two ! committees should be blended together and j that 1 should preside over both i instantly j interposed and slated that i did not think that was the correct mode but that the chairman ! of the committee of each house should preside j over his own committer and that when the i committee of the house matured and adopted i a proposition it should be submitted to the olh ! er committee and if agreed to by them it should then be reported to the two houses and its a dopiion recommended that course was agreed upon and mr holmes i believe of maine 1 presided over the committee of the sen ; ale and i presided over the committee of the house i did then what i have protested i 1 would not do at this session too much the lead in the discussion i brought forward the pro position which i will refer to presently ; and i did more i took lhe trouble to ascertain the views of each member of the committee — if i may use the expression i said now gen tlemen we do not want a proposition carried here by a simple majority and reported to lhe ho*ise there to be rejeeied i am for ' something practical something conclusive some thim decisive upon this agitating question and il should be cartied by a good majority how will you voie mr a how will you vote mr b how will you mr c and i polled them in that way well sir to my very great happi ness a sufficient number responded affirma tively that they would vote for the proposition to enable me to know that if they continued to vote that way in the two houses of which 1 had not a particle of d.,uht in lhe world the proposition would he carried in the two h~h*ps accordingly it having been agreed upon by both committees and reported to their respect ive houses it was finally adopted this joint resolution for the admission ol missouri was passed in 1821 i find i have i been furnished wiih one which was proposed but nol adopted the right one is contained in the tatule at large ; i have seen it ihere well sir the resolution was finally adopted i can slate without reading it what its provis ions are it declares tbat if there be any pro vision in tbe constitution of missouri incompat ible with the constitution of the united slates missouri shall forbear to enforce the repugnant provisions of her constitution and that she shall hy some solemn and authentic a<-i declare that she will nol enforce any provisions of her con stitution which are incompatible wiih ihe con sliiuiion of lhe united siaies and upon her passage of such a solemn and authentic act the president of the united states — who was al that time ir monroe — shall make proclama tion ol lhe fact ; and thereupon aud without any further legislation of congress missouri shall be admitted into the union now sir i want to call your attention to this period of history and to the transactions which took place during the progress ol tho discuss ion upon the re o uti n during the discussion which look place in the house at that time from day to day and from night to night — for the discussions fre quently ran into the night — we who were lor admitting missouri into the union said lo our brethren from the north " why gentlemen if there be any provision in the constitution of missouri which is repugnant lo the constitution of ihe united stales it is a nullity the con slitution ol the united states by virtue of its own operation — its own self.ope ration — vacates it any tribunal on earth before which the question may be brought must pronounce the constitution of the united slate paramount and must pronounce as invalid the repugnant pro visions of lhe constitution of missouri well sir the argument was turned and twisted and used in every possible varielyof form all was in vain an inflexible majority stood out to the last against the administration of missouri ; and yet the resolution — mr underwood i have it here mr clay if you will read it i shall be obliged to you mr underwood read the resolution as fol lows : resolution providing for lhe admisssion of the st tte oi 1 missouri into the union on a certain condition resolved by the senate and house of repre senfalires of the united states of america in congress assembled that missouri shall be admitted into ihis union on au equal fooling wilh the original states in all respects what ever upon the fundamental condition that the fourth clause oflhe 26ih section of the third ar ticle of the constitution submitted on the part of said state to congress shall never be con strued to authorize the passage of any law and that no law shall be passed in conformity there to by which any citizen of either of the states iu this union shall be excluded from the enjoy ment of any oflhe privileges and immunities to which such citizen is entitled under the consti tution of the united slates : provided that the legislature of the said state by a solemn public act shall declare the assent of the said slate to the said fundamendal condition and shall transmit to the president of the united states on or before the fourth monday in no vember next an authentic copy ofthe said act ; upon the receipt whereof the president by proclamation shall announce the fact ; where upon and without any further proceeding on ihe part of congress the admission of the said stale into this union shall be considered as complete approved march 2 1821 mr clay there is the resolution sir and you see it is precisely what i have stated after all this excitement throughout lhe coun try reaching to such an alarming point that the union itself was supposed to be in the most imminent peril and dinger the parties were 1 satisfied by the declaration of an incontestable j principle of constitutional law ihat when the | constitution of a state is violative in its provis i ions of the constitution of the united slates the constitution of lhe united stales is para mount and lhe constitution ofthe state in that particular is a nullity and void that was all they wanted something as a justification and this appeared at least a justification of the course they took there is a great deal ol language there of a high sounding character that°it shall be a fundamental act a solemn act an authentic act ; but afier all when you come lo strip it of its verbiage it is nothing but the announcement of the principle that lhe con stitution ofthe united slates is paramount o\cr the local constitution of any one ol the states of the union to be co ti.vced ] we notice that mr cass late speech in re ply to mr clemmens of alabama has attracted considerable attention by its warmth and elo quence the conclusion of gen cass remarks was as follows : where all ihis sedional excitement is to ! end 1 am not presumptuous enough to try to foretell hard thoughts are followed by hard words and if these are not followed by bard blows it will be owing more to the mercy of . god than to the wisdom or moderation of man i will merely remark in conclusion ibal the senator from alabama mr clemmens has alluded to a peaceable dissolution oflhe union he will pardon me for saying th it 1 hope no one will delude himself with any such expec taiioii if it does not bring disappointment ihe history of the world has been written to no purpose in political convulsions like that which would attend the breaking up of this confederacy ihe appeal from reason to force is as sure lo follow as tbe night succeeds tin day may he who guided our fathers in limes ' of peril direct us in paths of peace and safety co-to-tnorrow is sunday read your bible in the forenoon go lo elm eh ni eleven and ', real ihe whig in the after part ol ihe day — broirnlow's whig thai ere is lhe preacher lor me."'—gen f l::m.v.n in black i llarria_-e certificates for sale here tiie rail road convention at hillsborough in pursuance ofthe notice given by tbe chairman of the executive committee the delegates from the different counties interested in the north carolina railroad assembled at the court house in hillsbo rough on wednesday the 26th of febru ary on motion of colonel cadwalladcr jones of orange wm boylan esq of wake was appointed president of the convention and dennis heartt and thos b bailey secretaries gov morehead rose and in a few words explained the objeel ol tli convention — which was to ascertain what amount of stock had been subscribed to tbe central railroad with lhe intention of making further endeavors to secure the charter by getting the balance of the stock sub scribed : and though it would be proper to appoint a committee of ten to thai ef fect \\ hich should report at some subse quent period of the convention gov graham hoped that the chairman of the executive committee gen saun ders would favor the convention with his views on the subject of the railroad as well as explain more fully the object ol the convention gen saunders then addressed the con vention at considerable length gen saunders in the fore part of bis speech dwelt upon the plan adopted at greensboroogh to secure the subscription of the stock every subscriber in the hundred stood upon an equality and had a right to contract three times the amount of his subscription — for two-thirds of which he received pay from the state and one third by the way of stock fifty thousand dollars was the only amount re quired to be paid in ;
