" Sir, I speak of free labor everywhere — in the South as well as the North. Even on the hypothesis of an equality in the claims of free and slave labor, (which I do not admit, ) the argument in favor of taking this territory as we find it, appears to me unan- swerable. Mr. President, I would not have voted to connect the proviso in the bill passed by the House, and now awaiting the action of the Senate, with any measure for the prosecution of the war. My State would not have desired it. The re...solutions of the Legislature are in favor of all proper measures for the prosecution of the war. From the commencement of the war, my honorable colleague and myself have sustained all measures recommended by the Admin- istration for carrying it on ; and as a member of the Committee on Military Affairs, I have had some share in maturing them. I have voted for the pecuniary means asked for, the number and description of troops which were deemed necessary for the purpose, and a commanding general for the armies in Mexico, with a rank in some degree commensurate with the numerical force to be combined, and moved in combination.
