That gentleman informed us that thirty years ago his career in this House began with a compromise; and he sepms not unwilling that it should close in a similar man- ner. As the men of that period sowed the ~-eed of future compromise, so he — unwittingly, I presume — scatters the seminal germ of a future harvest. In less than thirty years, should we now yield to the clamor of the slaveholding interest, menacing disunion, we shall have a demand for a constitutional amendment, prohibiting the publ...ication of anything from the press, or the utterance of anything from the lips, •' intended" to excite servile insurrection. I know that the gentleman placed a good deal of emphasis on the word "intent! " Why, sir, who has any such intent? And could thoy Carry out such on intention? Do the slaves take papers, or listen to sermons, or hear Iec~ turcs print-, d or uttered in the foee States ?
