The subject before us is the appropriation of: three millions off dollars to enabledhe President to: erminate the war with' Alexico, and to procure art ;acquisition of ter- ritOry ; slid_ the immediate: question is upon the adoption of what is..known-as the Wilmot proviso, which declares 'that there shall he - neither slat erY nor -involuntary-servitude in any territory which may be hereafter , annexed to the United States, Having already 'expressed 'my sentiments upon the former subjett, t Shall now confine myremarks to the latter. 2 ; And, -sir, in the first 'place, 6ttch a declaration would he a - kind 'of legislation,not only abstract i in itself, but,.under the circumstances of the coun- try, ill-timed and injudicious. ;V4re are engaged in a foreign war, which demands the united counsels and the united action of the whole country. The , issue, Whether immediate or remote, whether pros-1 ' perous of adverse, is hiddentrim our view. Do i the best we can, we shall be greatly divided. Some doubt the justice of the war, and many more its expediency; and tho igh I am with those who , doubt neither, and who think We had to choose be-! Itween war and dishonor, yet I cannot conceal from myself that these discordant opinions, if they do' not paralyze, must yet impede the national exer- lion, and.operate, jn many ways, to prevent that vigorous action' so essential to prompt success. And we..have still another - class among us. whot I openly avow their hostility to the present condition+ of their country, and the determination, not mere. I [ ly to withhold all voluntary ail towards the pros.l ecution of the war, both as private and as public men; but also to exert their moral influence to ex- -tend -these views, and to give practical etTect to their operation. i - Under. these circumstances, sir, it is obviouslyl the dictate of true wisdom, not to add internal dif-; (mollies to external ones; tulle's both are forced I upon us by invincible necessity. Of all the ques- I Lions that call agitate us, those which are merely' sectional in their character al-e the most danger-I OUS, and the most to-be "deprecated. The warning; voice of him..who, from his character and services ; and virtue,.had the best tight to warn us,,proclaim- i ed to his countrymen, in his farewell address, that! Imontnnent of wisdom for him, as I hope it will be of safety for them, how much we had to apprehend from measures -peculiarly affecting geographical portions of our country. The; history of the past furnishes us with pregnant lesions upon this sub., ject When such questions come, let us meet them. 1 ] as great questions should be met. with a single! eye to our own duty, and to the interests of the Icountry. But let us not anticipate them, by anti- Icipating events which may never happen, or which, if they do happen, ruay bring with them the solo-I tion of the very difficult:es we are seeking, instead Of avoiding. We have yet made no acquisition of territory. and never may. We have, indeed, in the prosecution of the existing war, Liken possession of a portion of Mexico, and hold it by the r gni of-conquest. But our tenure is uncertain. &pend- ing oponthe varying casualties of war while this I lasts; and then, if not sooner terminated, upan the, 'result of negotiations for a peace. We can mike i nci,perirtane.nt arrangements fir the government oft the tountry, till the right which cession gives is' lidded to that we have derived from congne-q. Nor I indeed do we seek to do a', for the pronmed amendment is to be operative only when we shall have made a permanent acquisition of the coon-, try, and added it to our own..! In the meantime, though it be a dead letter linen the statute book,: 1 , I it can only be placed there by quickening into life feelings and sentiments which. if slier mint cease, I let theni come, like other unavo,dable evils, but I which should never be involuntarily sought, for the I very sake of encountering them. We then, sir, are attempting, rvt to legislate for, , things as they are, but for things as they are not,', ; and as they never may be. We are abandOning l I the domain of the present, and are seeking to coa- -1 trol, perhaps a distant, cert.iiiily a doubtful future 1 Under any circumstances, this prospective legisla- tion can scaieely be reconciad With the theratesi of common prudence. But 'tinder those that ex-I ' ist; both foreign and domestic, it seems to me al rash experiment, - certain in the injury it will in-1 . flict, but uncertain in the advantages it proposes i to obtain. The questions it Will raise, and the ex- citement that will attend therm are obvious to all. Already their bearing has been shadowed -forth in the discussions that have started up; and hoth the , topics and the temper that 'have presented them•; ' selves are calculated to produce the worst effects at bome-end abroad. If thei subject were legiti-, .mutely before us. and a practical decision were called for, it should be met' with wisdom, wish calmness, and with moderation. Butsufficient un- to the day is the evil thereof.' When , We acquire the territory, it will be quite time to provide. for its government. We may, indeed, fight the haute, now, and whin it is over, leaving all its heart. 1 burnings behind, we may twilit has been fought in vain, and that we have nothing left for our pre. mature dissensions but unhappy recollections at home, end the contempt of the civilized world. This amendment is not prOposed as a condition of the cession to be made to us. To do that, it I must be incorporated into a' treaty, and Mexico would thus become a party, having a right to in- terfere in our internal instittiti.ms left by the Com stitution to the State governments, after their ad- mission into the Union, upon an equal footing, as they miiSt be when admitted, with the original members of the Confederacy; I presume there is not a Senator or Representative in the National Legislature, whit would thus grant to a foreign power the right to inquire 4fto the conduct and constitution of the sovereign States of this Union; and if there are any, I am not among them, and never shall be. To the people of this country, now and hereafter, are its destinies, tinder (hod, committed; and we want no foreign power to in- terrogate us, treaty in hand,!and to to say, Why - have you done this, or why-have you omitted to do that? Our own dignity, as well as the first a ttri. butes of independence, repel Such it proposition. If, then, this clause is not to enter into the com- pact of cession, what effecilis it tti'have? It is ' not an ordinary act of legislation, within the ac- customed power of Congress's fur it neither ope- rates upon American territory, upon American citi- zens, nor upon American property. Nor does it pro- pose toestablish a system for the regulation of arose having a right to become stich. It is declarato- ,ry of what? That slavery shall not exist in any territory hereafter to be acquired. But no territo- ry hereafter to be acquired can be governed with- out an act of Congress, providing for the organiza- Lion of its goverment. l'hat is the very first step in its progress in the new career opened to it; till then, no legitimate authority can be exercised over it. And when Congress comes to act, it will act upon the subject matter, controlled only only by the treaty of cession; if, therefore, ade claratory clause, like that proposed, is adopted, it would be but a dead letter, and without any prac- tical effect. It would not operate upon the coun- try now,.for it does not belong to -us; and if it should become ours, Congress, when it legislates, Would be free to legislate upOn its own views and responsibility, without bent& at all restrained by an abstract declaration, binding nobody, and opera- tingl on nothing. ~, i But what sort of a speetaere dOes this proceed. . ing present to-the World? Disguise it as we may, it is a Mexican cession We are lOoking to, and Mexi- can territory we are preparing to govern. - We are ' gravely stopping in - the midst , of our legithnate du- ties, while deficient supplies, la defective organize- tion, an insufficient force, demand legislative-ac- ttoici r n t ; h aenmd - awanhi sleof th p e ro se Prec us t i i d * neg'l papreavliignogrotuosulys. tth ise war and - successfully, we are stopping in order to regu- late the condition of countries extending to , the Pacific Ociatt,-and which, if they are ever ours, Must become so after the vicissitudes of war shall have established our rpotter,land,redueed the ene- I my to submiasien. :I dOulftlif history furnishes Wither such instance of legislative farsightedness.

That mighty agent, the press ; will proclaim it there, louder than .a voice 'shouting from every heusetop in the republic. And what must - a. high- spirited people think of the speatack exhibited here? And the Mexicans; we must remember,' possess many traits of the Spanish; character. What better mode could be devised to irritate them, and' to unite them as one man against•us, than the very procedure we are debating? Who believex we should have purchased Louisiana of Napoleam or, Florida of Spain.. had such preliminaries as thesel preceded the attempt to negotiate? How should we have denounced the arrogance of England, during the late war, had her Parliament gravely attemp• ted to lay down a principle ler the government 'of a portion of Massachusetts or Virginia, which sit.. intended to acquire? It is to be regretted, that tidal appropriation could not have been made without an irritating public discussion. And it is still{ more to be regretted, that the original question ofd 'acquisition, should be complicated with another,l which enlarges the field of controversy, and intro- duces still more irritating topics into the debate.l Looking at the critical relations Odell exist be-' tween the two countries, it is quite cm:night to an- pounce to Mexico our desire to purchase a portion l of her territory, and to provide the means for do- ing so, without exhibitingsuch a-confidence in the successful result, as to accompany the measure with a plan, either total or partial, for the -goYern-, menu of the region which we seek to annex to our Confederacy. For myself, sir. individually, I have doubts, as I' stated before, of the policy of :toy step, except a' direct vigorous prosecution of the war. I am afraid that all other measures are proof to the, Mexican people, that we are halting in our pur- poses, and have undertaken a task beyond our ability to accomplish. ' I listened with great attention and pleasure to the eloquent remarks of the honorable Stoator' from Louisiana, made in the Senate a few days since, and I fully coincide with him in almost all he said. I dissent, bevies - cr. from him in Nl°rota !in the suggestions, that reviewed attempts at nego- tiation should be made by this Government. What was the opinion, in the letter from Mr. Sli- dell to Mr. Buchanan, of December 27, 1545, 1111S become history. "The desire of our Government to secure peace, will be mistaken for timidity," &c. It has been so, and I trust the error will not he renewed. The Mexican Gosernment and peg ple know that we desire lease. The administra- tion has proelaimed it in its official acts. It is pro claimed authoritatively, and unanimously, in these Halls. It is proclaimed by the American press. Avid, what is n'ore powerful than all -this, it is proclaimed by the public sentiment of the Ameri- can people: Why, it is only two days since, that o e introduced into the diplomatic bill, an np propriation tar defraying the expenses of negona- bons, vinyl the very debate in which we are rug's- ged, furnishes irrefragible proof of the strong de sire foi peace, which animates es all; rind myself; as strongly as any member of this body. The sentiment is in our hearts, and its expression upon our tongues. My objection against the initiative !Ming_ again taken by our Gni errim nt in proposi- tions fur negotiations, anises out of the tear that they raT-ill not produce peace, but will continue the scar. _ . Now, sir: I da not believe , thai the:People of - this country, be they where they uniy—North, South, East, or West—are ineptre I thus tO inflict upon the national honor an incurable . Wiatuid. This .is not a question of to-day, por of to.rrcorraw only, but of generations, yet to come. And .we mustl remember that the eyes of Europe are upon as.—, Throughout Christendom, our course .and our con-1 duct are watched with jealous scrutiny, both..lqi tboSe,who fear the example of ourinstitutioni,artd by those, who took forward to their permanent establishment, among the nations of the earth... 7. Ily the former, in the hope that seeds of dissolu- i tion may be developed. to spring up hereafter, and to ripen into en abundant harvest 'of calamity;, and by the latter, with a hope as sincere. and II trust far better founded, that we may survive the trials, to which it is the lot of all governments tot I be exposed, and find our political system stilt 11611.1 er in the hearts of the people, as time comes to . show us the blessings it brings with it. We are! the standard-bearers of liberty for the eothmoni-1 ties Of the world. And as we guard or betray: the precious deposite,"The cable of freedom will I advance or recede, stimulated or depressed by our i I example. The great problem, so long dotilited.l and so often disputed. whether we are able to car ry on in otrentiN e war, io defence of our tightsand lour boom, is again in the process of -s - tdution. I we are true to ourselves, this will Le a Probkorl no longer: speculation will give way to fact, and future reputation and security will be' purchased I Iby present exertions. But if we:alums/on the', contest, by whatever motives impelled, we seal our own dishonor, and shut up the-history of our country's glory. The name 01'..lmtrleao, will ite'a byword and a reproach, throughout .. the earth:— The brand will remain upon our foreheads. and still I the plainer, as we shall prove ouriclvei faithless hal the example of our fathers, anal unworthy of the legacy, which they won and bequeathed to us.—.;: Gut. sir, nothing of nit this: I trust I know my countrymen. Anil if they hate elle:I trait of character, in bolder relief, than any other. or than all others, it is an ever-acting, neyeedyirg] lose of country: watchful, nrit, of ,its honor, arid t then of its interests; and prepared to defend both,' as both should he defended, :where the: Goserm meat belongs equally to rill, and the support of all; equally in the Got eminent. .

And all this, while the bounties of Iletiven, both physical and moral, are thin true motives are, misureferstood and tnisrep• reifies:cute.' ; and w list is rea lty dictated by a spurt of forhearance and moderation, is contested into proofs of timidity and weakness. There is no doubt, in Mexico, U. strong instinctive love of country, lf tai- eh, under a tropical sun, gives rise to etcited feelings. and to paroxysms of fierce se tion. Iltit there ii no such wholesome !nadir opinion there as here, and no sueli niean,st of puhlte information, nor such a people to understand s, ol appreciate them. It is übkiiitis that the strangest views prevail. there. The must trilling disaster on our sideis-sepreseuted as a victory on theirs.' An offer to negotiate is an acknowledgement of weakness. A messenger of peace is rudely driven: from Mexico, under the pretence that he camel as a minister and not as a commissioner. And it is announced, with a gravity which would be truly; ridiculous, were not the subject so vast a one, that' our armies must withdraw front the territory old . Mexico, and our fleets from the Mexican coast, before their Cbovernment will cter consent to o ne-1 ,- time. Retire, they say, go home, and then we will treat with you. I regret to hear any prom. sitions or discussions relating to Mexicin negoties , tions, brought forerun! in either branch of Coin geese. These topics had better he left to the Exec.' utive, who can act discreetly became lie can act deliberately, and without public discussion. If we provide the necessary supplies for the prosecution of the war, and watch vigilantly the course of the Gots riment—correcting errors where they exist, r we shall hate performed an important part of our 1 dut3i, leaving to the i'resident to push the war vig urotislv, and to embrace any favorable opportunity e ;o negotiate vi bleb presents itself. ; V oheliet'e this course of action better becomes !oar character and position among the nations of the world. We seek . b.it justice. That is perti• nacionsly withheld from us. Before the invasion of our territory, we ! made repeated attempts to !bring our disputes with Mexico' to a peaceable sol alion, and since then we have attempted to bring the war, which she commenced. to a peace- ful termination. We have failed in all these ef- forts; and, unfortunately, from being misunder• stood, they have aggravated, rather than diminish- ed, the difficulties of our position. We have dis. charged our duty to humanity, now let us discharge it to ourselves. Let us march onward, till the ; past is atoned for, and till the future is guarded by reasonable security. But, sir, indetiendent of these considerations, arising nut of the!yery nature of the subject, there are two other questons, eminently practieal,which connect themselves with it, and . which it is our, duty, charged us we are, by our country with her' gravest interests, maturely to exatnine. The first !relates to the prosecution of the war, and the other Ito the acquisition of territory 1 Should this proviso become a law, I consider it I extremely doubtful whether the war could be fur- they proiseeuted; or I might say, indeed, it would not be „prosecuted at all From the feelings magi tested by twodiftbs of the House of Representa- tives. and by a moiety of the Senate, it is obvious that future appropriations would not long be made. No one here will call in question the correctness of this opinion. Divided, as we arc, in our views respecting the justice and expediency of the war, we cannot doubt;that with this new element of, irritation and ditTerence, no calculation whatever could be made upon legislative action, or upon the aid that would be given to the Executive. I find myself supported in this view by an authority, which commends itself, at least, to one shle of this, Chamber. In a letter written from this place, and published in the New York Courier and Enquirer,l of the 18th ultimo; the writer, who I suppose is the editor, and if so, certainly well informed re- specting the views of the party to which he be- longs, says: "The adoption of the Wilmot proviso, it is conceded in the political circles, wall do more to terminate the war, than any legislative act that could be devised ; as much, almost, as a refusal of supplies." I do not concur with the writer in-all his political speculations in this letter; - but in his statement of the effect of this measure upon the prosecution of the war, I fully coincide: and I do not expect to bear's single member of this body express , his dresent from it. This propoiition, if adopted, becomes- atonce an mgis„ interpoied be tween us and Mexican responsibility. - The choice before us is the _proviso or the. war. One or the other must be giveMup. - But again, sir; cine,third of this bodycan prevent the ratification of a treaty. It has been distinctly intimated here in debate, atutnot contradicted by any member, that_ if this propospon passe& upon the statute book, no treaty, prsividirig,for the ac- quisition of territory, will, be- ratified. This we have reason to know is the determination. , Legis: lotion, posterior to the acquisition;-.would pursue the ordinary course; and would be governed by the ordinary principles; which regulate- the action of!

It will be quite in season to provide for the governmeitt of territory, not yet acquired from foreign countries, after we shall have obtained it. 3d. The proviso can only apply to British arid Mexican territories, us there are no others corer- minims fo is. Its phriosealogy would reach either. though its application is pOinted to. Mexico. It seems to me, that to express so much , confidence in the successful result of this war, as to legislate at this time, if not over this anticipated acquisition. at least for it, and to lay down a partial basis for its government, Would do us no good in the eyes of the world, and would irritate, still more, the Mexican people. dth. l,egislatiOn now would be wholly inopera- tive, because no territory, hereafter to be acluired, can be governed without an act of Congress, pro- viding fur its govniment. And such an act, on its passage, wotild open the whole subject, and would leave the, Congress, called upon to pass it, free to exercise its own discretion, entirely uncon- trolled by arty declaration found on the statute book. . 6th. There is ;great `reason to think, that the adoptiou of this proviso would, in all probability. bring the war to - un untimely iisite, 'by the effect it would have on ftitUre operations. , Gib. Its passage would certainly prevent the ac- quisition of one foot of territory; thus defeating a measure called for by a vast majority of the American people, and defeating it, too, by the very act purporting to establish a partial basis tot its govern in en t. The progress of public opinion upon the ques- tion of the adoption of this proviso, as the circum_ stances of the coontry have become more and mole difficult, seems to me to indicate very clearly, that since its introduction at the past .session of I Congress, the conviction haebeen- gaining ground that the present is no time for the agitation of this subject; and as the foreign war becomes more em- barrassing, in a *mei:degree, than many antici- pated, it is best td avoid a domestic dispute ' which would raise bitteii questions at home, and add con- fidence to the motives.for resistance abroad. And certainly the factlnow ascertained, that .the war would be put to Imaard, and thaacquisition of ter- ritory defeated, by the adoption 'of this - proviso, renders it impossible for me to vpte for it, connect. ed, as I deem botti of these objects., with the dear: est rights and hodar of the country. I have examinild the resolutions, which have been presented'to :Congress by the: * Legislatures of eight of the States upon this subject, and find, that this proviso is a measute.perhaps not called, for by any of them, certainly not by six of them, and that its simple adoption at . this time will leave unattained the permanent objects sought by all of them. The views expressed are as lollows: By the.LegislatOrs of Vermont, against the admission into 'the Federal -Union 'of any nevi , Stets, whose constitution tolerate's slayery," &c. •By the Legisleinre of NeW - Hampshite, 'that - measures should be takeri for the extinction , of sla- ery in the District of.

    Mr. CASS said—Wr: Petslis-r :. The subjectbefore us is the appropriation of: three millionsoffdollars to enabledhe President to: erminate the warwith' Alexico, and to procure art ;acquisition of ter-ritOry ; slid_ the immediate: question is upon theadoption of what is..known-as the Wilmotproviso,which declares 'that there shall he-neither slat erYnor-involuntary-servitude in any territory whichmay be hereafter ,annexed to the United States,Having already 'expressed 'my sentiments upon theformer subjett, tShall now confine myremarks tothe latter. • 2 ; •

    And, -sir, in the first 'place, 6ttch a declarationwould he a-kind 'of legislation,not only abstract iin itself, but,.under the circumstances of the coun-try, ill-timed and injudicious. ;V4re are engaged ina foreign war, which demands the united counselsand the united action of the whole country. The ,issue, Whether immediate orremote, whetherpros-1

    ' perous of adverse, ishiddentrim our view. Doithe best we can, we shall be greatly divided. Somedoubt the justice of the war, and many more itsexpediency; and tho igh I am with those who ,doubt neither, and who think We had to choose be-!Itween war and dishonor, yet I cannot conceal frommyself that these discordant opinions, if they do'not paralyze, must yet impede the national exer-lion, and.operate, jn many ways, to prevent thatvigorous action' so essential to prompt success.And we..have still another -class among us. whotI openly avow their hostility to the present condition+of their country, and the determination, not mere. I

    [ ly to withhold all voluntary ail towards the pros.lecution of the war, both as private and as publicmen;but also to exert their moral influence to ex--tend -these views, and to give practical etTect totheir operation. i -Under. these circumstances, sir, it is obviouslylthe dictate of true wisdom, notto add internal dif-;(mollies to external ones; tulle's both are forced Iupon us by invincible necessity. Of all the ques- ILions that call agitate us, those which are merely'sectional in their character al-e the most danger-IOUS, and the most to-be "deprecated.

    i ed to his countrymen, in his farewell address, that!Imontnnent of wisdom for him, as I hope it will beofsafety for them, how much wehad to apprehendfrom measures -peculiarly affecting geographicalportions of our country. The; history of the pastfurnishes us with pregnant lesions upon this sub.,ject When such questions come, let us meet them.1 ]as great questions should be met. with a single!eye to our own duty, and to the interests of the

    Icountry. But let us not anticipate them, by anti-Icipating events which may never happen, or which,if they do happen, ruay bring with them the solo-Ition of the very difficult:es we are seeking, insteadOf avoiding. We have yet made no acquisition ofterritory. and never may. We have, indeed, in theprosecution of the existing war, Liken possessionof a portion of Mexico, and hold it by the r gniof-conquest. But our tenure is uncertain. &pend-ing oponthe varying casualties of war while this

    Ilasts; and then, if not sooner terminated, upan the,'result of negotiations for a peace. We can mike inci,perirtane.nt arrangements fir the government oftthe tountry, till the right which cession gives is'lidded to that we have derived from congne-q. Nor Iindeed do we seek to do a', for the pronmedamendment is to be operative only when we shallhave made a permanent acquisition of the coon-,try, and added it to our own..! In the meantime,though it be a dead letter linen the statute book,:1,

    I it can only be placed there by quickening into lifefeelings and sentiments which. if slier mint cease, Ilet theni come, like other unavo,dable evils, but Iwhich should never be involuntarily sought, for the Ivery sake of encountering them.

    We then, sir, are attempting, rvt to legislate for,, things as they are, but for things as they are not,',

    ; and as they never may be. We are abandOning lI the domainof the present, and are seeking to coa--1 trol, perhaps a distant, cert.iiiily a doubtful future1Under any circumstances, this prospective legisla-tion can scaieely be reconciad With the theratesiof common prudence. But 'tinder those that ex-I' ist; both foreign and domestic, it seems to me alrash experiment, -certain in the injury it will in-1

    . flict, but uncertain in the advantages it proposes ito obtain. • The questions it Will raise, and the ex-citement that will attend therm are obvious to all.Already their bearing has been shadowed -forth inthe discussions that have started up; and hoth the,topics and the temper that 'have presented them•;

    ' selves are calculated to produce the worst effectsat bome-end abroad. If thei subject were legiti-,.mutely before us. and a practical decision werecalled for, it should be met' with wisdom, wishcalmness, and with moderation. Butsufficient un-to the day is the evil thereof.' When,We acquirethe territory, it will be quite time to provide. forits government. We may, indeed, fight the haute,now, and whin it is over, leaving all its heart.1burnings behind, we may twilit has been fought invain, and that we have nothing left for our pre.mature dissensions but unhappy recollections athome, end the contempt of the civilized world.

    This amendment is not prOposed as a conditionof the cession to be made to us. To do that, it Imust be incorporated into a' treaty, and Mexicowould thus become a party, having a right to in-terfere in our internal instittiti.ms left by the Comstitution to the State governments, after their ad-mission into the Union, upon an equal footing, asthey miiSt be when admitted, with the originalmembers of the Confederacy; I presume there is

    • not a Senator or Representative in the NationalLegislature, whit would thus grant to a foreignpower the right to inquire 4fto the conduct andconstitution of the sovereign States of this Union;and if there are any, I am not among them, andnever shall be. To the people of this country,now and hereafter, are its destinies, tinder (hod,committed; and we want no foreign power to in-terrogate us, treaty in hand,!and to to say, Why

    - have you done this, or why-have you omitted to dothat? Our own dignity, as well as the first a ttri.butes of independence, repel Such it proposition.If, then, this clause is not to enter into the com-pact of cession, what effecilis it tti'have? It is

    ' not an ordinary act of legislation, within the ac-customed power of Congress's fur it neither ope-rates upon Americanterritory, upon American citi-zens, nor upon American property. Nor does it pro-

    • pose toestablish a system for the regulation of arosehaving a right to become stich. It is declarato-,ry of what? Thatslavery shall not exist in anyterritory hereafter to be acquired. But no territo-ry hereafter to be acquired can be governed with-out an act of Congress, providing for the organiza-

    , Lion of its goverment. l'hat is the very first stepin its progress in the new career opened to it; tillthen, no legitimate authority can be exercisedover it. And when Congress comes to act, itwill act upon the subject matter, controlled onlyonly by the treaty of cession; if, therefore, adeclaratory clause, like that proposed, is adopted, itwould be but a dead letter, and without any prac-tical effect. It would not operate upon the coun-try now,.for it does not belong to -us; and if itshould become ours, Congress, when it legislates,Would be free to legislate upOn its own views andresponsibility, without bent& at all restrained byan abstract declaration, binding nobody, and opera-tinglon nothing.

    That mighty agent, the press; will proclaim itthere, louder than .a voice 'shouting from everyheusetopin the republic. And what must- a.high-spirited people think of the speatack exhibitedhere? And the Mexicans; we must remember,'possess many traits of the Spanish; character. Whatbetter mode could be devised to irritate them, and'to unite them as oneman against•us, than the veryprocedure we are debating? Who believex weshould have purchased Louisiana of Napoleam or,Florida of Spain.. had such preliminaries as theselpreceded the attempt to negotiate? How should wehave denounced the arrogance of England, duringthe late war, had her Parliament gravely attemp•ted to lay down a principle ler the government 'ofa portion of Massachusetts or Virginia, which sit..intended to acquire? It is to be regretted, that tidalappropriation could not have been made withoutan irritating public discussion. And it is still{more to be regretted, that the original question ofd'acquisition, should be complicated with another,lwhich enlarges the field of controversy, and intro-duces still more irritating topics into the debate.lLooking at the critical relations Odell exist be-'tween the two countries, it is quite cm:night to an-pounce to Mexico our desire to purchase a portionlof her territory, and to provide the means for do-ing so, without exhibitingsuch a-confidence in thesuccessful result, as to accompany the measurewith a plan, either total or partial, for the -goYern-,menu of the region which we seek to annex to ourConfederacy.

    For myself, sir. individually, I have doubts, as I'stated before, of the policy of :toy step, except a'direct vigorous prosecution of the war. I amafraid that all other measures are proof to the,Mexican people, that we are halting in our pur-poses, and have undertaken a task beyond ourability to accomplish.

    ' I listened with great attention and pleasure tothe eloquent remarks of the honorable Stoator'from Louisiana, made in the Senate a few dayssince, and I fully coincide with him in almost allhe said. I dissent, bevies -cr. from him in Nl°rota

    !in the suggestions, that reviewed attempts at nego-tiation should be made by this Government.What was the opinion, in the letter from Mr. Sli-dell to Mr. Buchanan, of December 27, 1545, 1111Sbecome history. "The desire of our Governmentto secure peace, will be mistaken for timidity,"&c. It has been so, and I trust the error will nothe renewed. The Mexican Gosernment and pegple know that we desire lease. The administra-tion has proelaimed it in its official acts. It isproclaimed authoritatively, and unanimously, in theseHalls. It is proclaimed by the American press.Avid, what is n'ore powerful than all -this, it isproclaimed by the public sentiment of the Ameri-can people: Why, it is only two days since,that o e introduced into the diplomatic bill, an nppropriation tar defraying the expenses of negona-bons, vinyl the very debate in which we are rug's-ged, furnishes irrefragible proof of the strong desire foi peace, which animates es all; rind myself;as strongly as any member of this body. Thesentiment is in our hearts, and its expression uponour tongues. My objection against the initiative!Ming_ again taken by our Gni errim nt in proposi-tions fur negotiations, anises out of the tear thatthey raT-ill not produce peace, but will continue thescar.

    Now, sir: I da not believe,thai the:People of- thiscountry, be they where they uniy—North, South,East, or West—are ineptre I thus tO inflict uponthe national honor an incurable .Wiatuid. This .isnot a question of to-day, por of to.rrcorraw only,but of generations, yet to come.

We are!the standard-bearers of liberty for the eothmoni-1ties Of the world. And as we guard or betray:the precious deposite,"The cable of freedom will

    thin true motives are, misureferstood and tnisrep•reifies:cute.' ; and w list is realty dictated by a spurtof forhearance and moderation, is contested intoproofs of timidity and weakness. There is nodoubt, in Mexico, U. strong instinctive love ofcountry, lftai- eh, under a tropical sun, gives rise toetcited feelings. and to paroxysms of fierce setion. Iltit there ii no such wholesome !nadiropinion there as here, and no sueli niean,st of puhlteinformation, nor such a people to understand s, olappreciate them. It is übkiiitis that the strangestviews prevail. there. The must trilling disasteron our sideis-sepreseuted as a victory on theirs.'An offer to negotiate is an acknowledgement ofweakness. A messenger of peace is rudely driven:from Mexico, under the pretence that he camelas a minister and not as a commissioner. And itis announced, with a gravity which would be truly;ridiculous, were not the subject so vast a one, that'our armies must withdraw front the territory old. Mexico, and our fleets from the Mexican coast,before their Cbovernment will cter consent to

    o ne-1,- time. Retire, they say, go home, and then wewill treat with you. I regret to hear any prom.sitions or discussions relating to Mexicin negoties

    , tions, brought forerun! in either branch of Coingeese. These topics had better he left to the Exec.'utive, who can act discreetly became lie can actdeliberately, and without public discussion. If weprovide the necessary supplies for the prosecutionof the war, and watch vigilantly the course oftheGots riment—correcting errors where they exist,r we shall hate performed an important part ofour1 dut3i, leaving to the i'resident to push the war vigurotislv, and to embrace any favorable opportunitye •;o negotiate vi bleb presents itself.

    ; Voheliet'e this course of action better becomes!oar character and position among the nations ofthe world. We seek. b.it justice. That is perti•nacionsly withheld from us. Before the invasionof our territory, we !made repeated attempts to!bring our disputes with Mexico' to a peaceablesol alion, and since then we have attempted tobring the war, which she commenced. to a peace-ful termination. We have failed in all these ef-forts; and, unfortunately, from being misunder•stood, they have aggravated, rather than diminish-ed, the difficulties of our position. We have dis.charged our duty to humanity, now let us dischargeit to ourselves. Let us march onward, till the;past is atoned for, and till the future is guarded byreasonable security.

    But, sir, indetiendent of these considerations,arising nut of the!yery nature of the subject, thereare two other questons, eminently practieal,whichconnect themselves with it, and . which it is our,duty, charged us we are, by our country with her'gravest interests, maturely to exatnine. The first

    !relates to the prosecution of the war, and the otherIto the acquisition of territory1 Should this proviso become a law, I consider itI extremely doubtful whether the war could be fur-they proiseeuted; or I might say, indeed, it wouldnot be „prosecuted at all From the feelings magitested by twodiftbs of the House ofRepresenta-tives. and by a moiety of the Senate, it is obviousthat future appropriations would not long be made.No one here will call in question the correctnessof this opinion. Divided, as we arc, in our viewsrespecting the justice and expediency of the war,we cannot doubt;that with this new element of,irritation and ditTerence, no calculation whatevercould be made upon legislative action, or upon theaid that would be given to the Executive. I findmyself supported in this view by an authority,which commends itself, at least, to one shle ofthis,Chamber. In a letter written from this place, andpublished in the New York Courier and Enquirer,lof the 18th ultimo; the writer, who I suppose isthe editor, and if so, certainly well informed re-specting the views of the party to which he be-longs, says: "The adoption of the Wilmot proviso,it is conceded in the political circles, wall do moreto terminate the war, than any legislative act thatcould be devised ; as much, almost, as a refusal ofsupplies." I do not concur with the writer in-allhis political speculations in this letter; -but in hisstatement of the effect of this measure upon theprosecution of the war, I fully coincide: and I donot expect to bear's single member of this bodyexpress ,his dresent from it. This propoiition, ifadopted, becomes- atonce an mgis„ interpoied between usand Mexican responsibility. - The choicebefore us is the _proviso or the. war. One or theother must be giveMup. -

    But again, sir;cine,third of this bodycan preventthe ratification of a treaty. It has been distinctlyintimated here in debate, atutnot contradicted byany member, that_ if this propospon passe& uponthe statute book, no treaty, prsividirig,for the ac-quisition of territory, will, be- ratified. This wehave reason toknow is the determination. , Legis:lotion, posterior to the acquisition;-.would pursuethe ordinary course; and would be governed by theordinary principles; which regulate- the action of!Cengfes.S. Legislation, like thiiSlirtipciied; beforethe acquisiticiii, tvotild induce and enable One-thirdof one,branch of COngress to defeat the measure.'

    1 shalt-vole against this proviso, because.:let.• The preaent is no proper time for the in-

    tniduction into the countrY, and into Congress, ofan exciting topic, tending to divide us, when ouruniteirexertions are necessary to peosecute the ex-isting war.

    2d. It will be quite in season to provide for thegovernmeitt of territory, not yet acquired fromforeign countries, after we shall have obtained it.

    3d. The proviso can only apply to British aridMexican territories, us there are no others corer-minims fo is. Its phriosealogy wouldreach either.though its application is pOinted to. Mexico. Itseems to me, that to express so much ,confidence inthe successful result of this war, as to legislate atthis time, if not over this anticipated acquisition.at least for it, and to lay down a partial basis forits government, Would do us no good in the eyesof the world, and would irritate, still more, theMexican people.

    dth. l,egislatiOn now would be wholly inopera-tive, because no territory, hereafter to be acluired,can be governed without an act of Congress, pro-viding fur its govniment. And such an act, onits passage, wotild open the whole subject, andwould leave the, Congress, called upon to pass it,free to exercise its own discretion, entirely uncon-trolled by arty declaration found on the statutebook. .

    6th. There is ;great `reason to think, that theadoptiou of this proviso would, in all probability.bring the war to-un untimely iisite, 'by the effect itwould have on ftitUre operations. ,

    Gib. Its passage would certainly prevent the ac-quisition of one foot of territory; thus defeatinga measure called for by a vast majority of theAmerican people, and defeating it, too, by thevery act purporting to establish a partial basis totits govern inen t.

    The progress of public opinion upon the ques-tion of the adoption of this proviso, as the circum_stances of the coontry have become more andmole difficult, seems to me to indicate very clearly,that since its introduction at the past .session of

    I Congress, the conviction haebeen- gaining groundthat the present is no time for the agitation of thissubject; and as the foreign war becomes more em-barrassing, in a *mei:degree, than many antici-pated, it is best td avoid a domestic dispute 'whichwould raise bitteii questions at home, and add con-fidence to the motives.for resistance abroad. Andcertainly the factlnow ascertained, that .the warwould be put to Imaard, and thaacquisition of ter-ritory defeated, by the adoption 'of this- proviso,renders it impossible for me to vpte for it, connect.ed, as I deem botti of these objects., with the dear:est rights and hodar of the country.

    I have examinild the resolutions, which havebeen presented'to :Congress by the: *Legislatures ofeight of the States upon this subject, and find,that this proviso is a measute.perhaps not called,for by any of them, certainly not by six of them,and that its simple adoption at . this time willleave unattained the permanent objects sought byall of them. The views expressed are as lollows:

    By the.LegislatOrs of Vermont, against theadmission into 'the Federal -Union 'of any nevi,

    • Stets, whose constitution tolerate's slayery," &c.•By the Legisleinre of NeW- Hampshite, 'that
