Mr. Seward an interesting petition
from citizens of New York, for the pas
sage of the resolutions submitting the
border State's resolutions. The petition
is signed by 3S.00U people, and is 1200
feet long. Mr. Seward, in the course
of his remarks said he had been asked to
support their ' petition. He had not yet,
although anxiously waited and hoped for
a movement, on the part of the people
of the country and their representatives
which would justify him in saying that
the seceeding states, or all that sympa
thize with them have made propositions
which citizens of the adjoining States, or
those desiring to adhere to the Union,
would be ..acceptable and satisfactory to
the other party. I have thought it my
duty to hold myself ready for the best ad
justment that could possihly be made., I
nave, thereiore been obligee to asK mis
this committee, to be content with the
assurance tnat l wouia express xo me
public and Senate that the Spirit in which
they come is perfectly commendable. It
i3 perfectly satisfactory and gratifying' to
me to see a proper spirit of fraternal
kindness; of conciliation and affection
bv a larire portien of my fellow citizens
of the State which I represent,. I have
asked them also in return for perform
ing my duty on this occasion when they
arrive at home that they will act in the
same spirit, and manifest their devotion
to the Union above the other interests
and sentiments, by speaking for the Uni
on; by voting for the Union, and if ne
cessary, lending even giving their mo
ney for the Union and, fighting -'inthe
last extremely," for the Union.' Taking
care that speaking always goes before
voting; voting before giving money, and
all go before battle, which I should re
gard hazardous and dangerous, and ther
fore the last as it would be the most pain
ful measure.
He did not despair of the Union. He
though it would be re-constructed, but
the time had not yet arrived. It would
not be done in ninety days. The pres
ent frenzy must first die away, party
platforms must be swept away. All
talk of secession andjeoercion must cease
before the Union becomes the grand ob
ject of interest and affection of the peo
ple of the United States. , Everybody
who shall oppose, resist, or stand in the
way of the preservation of the Union
will disappear like moths on a summer
eve when a whirlwind of popular indig
nation arises, that will be excited at a
full discovery that the Union is in dan
ger. '
He spoke some time on the question of
slavery in the Territories. The admis
sion of Kansas had settled all that was
vital or important, except ' the passions
which the contest had engendered.
Kansas is in the Union; California and
Oregon are in the Union, and yet the
same cont'ests distract the Union as be
fore. The extent of the Territories left
is 106,000 square miles. An area 24
times as large an area as the State of N.
Y, which are yet to be organized. Now
under what is ascerted by the Adminis
tration as a judicial decree, every inch of
that Terrrrita is slave Territory.
This is a confederacy ; nor an imperial
government, nor the government of a
state. It is a confederacy dependent
upon the consent of all members, and sub
ject to dissolution, but those who consti
tute the Union shall declare that it shall
exist no longer. He trusted there may
be time enough given the peace-makers
for their purposes. God grant that it
may be. If not, these controversies will
be settled as our forefathers foresaw,
when they framed the Constitution, by
submission to the people in Convention
called according to the forms of the Con
stitution. Mr. Mason said after all the recom
mendations of the Senator is battle.
Blood then is to save. The Union isbro

Mr. Slidell sent to be read by the clerk
the ordinance of secession of Louisiana.
He said the document just read places on
official reeord that Louisiana has seceded
and terminates the connection cf himself
with this body. The occasion calls fur
some words in parting with those whom
we leave, sorae of whom we hope to
meet again in the noble task of construct
ing a new Confederacy. The new con
federacy would not attempt to improve
the Constitution of the U. S. It would
recognize existing treaties, those respect
ing the African slave trade included.
It will be willing to assume a vast pro
portion of the public dabt, and be res
ponsible for all the property of tho U S
which they were compelled to take for
seld defence. They would recognize to
the inhabitants of the valley of the Mis
sissippi the right of free navigation. They
hoped for peace, but the decision of the
question depends on the free States. The
North might, if it chose, consider them
bound to the Union. It might attempt to
reduce the South to subjection. It might
institute a blockade. But the South will
meet them, and permit no introduction of
commerce and manufactures from the
North, and would meet them on the sea
under the old flag, for they did not intend
to give up the flag. It .belonged to the
South as much as to the North. He

ry with them peace or war. Which will
they give the country ? If war the South
will meet them, and rather than submit
would go down like Sampson, taking the
edifice of the leaders of the Philistines
with therm
Mr. Hale protested against the asser
tion that the North was making wor. On
the contrary, their position was such as
would subject them to ihe charge of cow
ardice. If war is to come, the first, thing
we shall do will be to take care of north
ern traitors.
