Debate ill the Scuttle.
Saturday, Feb. 24, 1849.
Mr. Walker, during the course of his re
marks in support of his amendment, and in
reply to Mr. Dayton, said:
Again, sir, in regard to tlie extension of tiio
Constitution, the third objection of the Senator
from New Jersey. And for what reason is
the Senator from New Jersey opposed to the
extersion of the Constitution, if it can be done
by legislation, over the territories of California
and New Mexico? Why, sir, his argument
is, that the South claims that the Constitution
gives them the right to take their slaves
there and make it a slave country. lie asks
no advantage from the South, he says, nor is
lie willing lo yield any advantage. lie is op-
1 . i 1 i ii i Y *-* -i l ;i i ill ii y*
because it will give to Ihe South what they
claim as an advantage, anil will give them, ac
cording to their idea, an advantage in political
power over the North, lie denies, however,
at the same time, that any such results, can
really follow. Sir, my feelings upon the sub
jectof slavery are, perhaps, ns well known here
as those of any other Senator upon this floor.
Hut sir, 1 say before this Senate, and before
high Heaven, that I feel inj self incapable, en
tertningany such feelings as those entertained
by the Senator from New Jersey. If the
Constitution will extend slavery to the land,
then let it go. If by that Constitution slavery
is extended, I am willing to.stand by that Con
stitution. lam unwilling to withhold from
our Southern bretheron any of the rights given
to them by that sacred instrument. If by the
operation of the Constitution they have any ad
vantage, they may posters it. It is a sacred
instrument, and I am willing to stand by it at
any time. If any advantage is given to the
Smith under the Constitution, they are enti
tled to it. Let them not he excluded from its
provisions. If its extension over new territo
ry gives an advantage to the South, I am will
ing to give them the advantage just to that ex
tent. I may differ with them upon that ques
tion, hut we will not quarel about that here.—
I will not leave the room or give cause, for an
array of one section against another—for cri
mination and recrimination. I would say to
the South: If the Constitution of the country
gives you an advantage, it is but justsce that
yon should receive that advantage. From me,
as far as I am concerned, you may have it most
ungrudgingly. lam not one to violate a Con
stitution I have sworn to support, to cripple
an institution which I condemn. No; take it.
liut let the people of that distant country have
the benefit of i.s protection extended :o them.
Mr. Websteii, in reply to the remarks of
Mr. Walker, and those of Mr. Butler, said.
Mr. President, it is of some importance that
we should reek to have clear ideas and correct
notions of the question vvhieli tb'--r-'UiuirsUneuL
of the honorable Senator from Wisconsin pre
sents tons; and especially that we should
seek to get some conception of wliat is meant
by a proposition of law to extend the Constitu
tion of the United States, to a territory. Why
the thing is utterly impossible. All the legis
latures in the world, in this genera! form, could
not accomplish it: there is no congruity ; there
is no case for the action of legislative power
in such a regard as tnat. The Constitution
why, what is it ? We extend tne Constitution
of the United States, by law to a territory.—
Well what is the first principle of th° Consti
tution ? Why, is it not that all within its in
fluence and comprehension shall be repre
sented in the Jegistatnre which it establish
es; shall have not only a right of debate,
but a right of vote; that all shall have a repre
sentation in both houses of the legislature 1 —
Is not that the fundamental principle of the
Constitution ? Does it not all rest upon that ?
Can we by law extend that to a territory of the
United States ? Everybody will sec that it is
altogether impracticable.
Well, the amendment goes on in the same
way, and says, further, that the revenue laws
shall, as far as they are suitable.be applied to
this case. Now 1 should like to know whether
that qualification of Ihe honorable member ns
he it, applies as far as is suitable,
to the Constitution itself; or whether he un
derstands that qualification as applicable only
to revenue laws of the United States which
he proposes to establish in the territory.
Mr. Walker. I would say this sir; that
whatever may have been said in the discussion
judfl ' '
a nil
■
be it,
the
a» ... the casr^n^^^fls!?H^^^P
amentMioiut icaves every thing else exactly
wherr.it is.
NoV, if the gentleman will ha hind enough
to tell me what principles of the Constitu
tion he supposes suitable—what distinction
Ire will draw between the suitable and unsuita
ble, as applying to California—l shall bo bet
ter instructed; but let me only say, sir, that
in its general sense there is no such thing as
extending the Constitution of the United
States over a territory. The Constitution of
the United States is established over the Uni
ted States, and over nothing else. It can be
established over nothing else than the existing
States and over new Sta'es that shall come
in hereafter; when they do come in they then
come under the Constitution. There is a con
fusion of idea, sir, in this respect, which is ,
quite remarkable among intelligent gentle
men, and especially among professional and
judicial characters. It seems to be taken for
granted that the right of trial by jury, of habeas
carpus, and every thing in the Constitution of
the United States designed to protect personal
liberty, by force of the Constitution, is extend
ded over all acquired territory. That cannot
be maintained; that proposition cannot be
maintained at all. How do you arrive at it?
Why, sit, by the loosest of all possible infer
ences. It is asked, is it possible that those,
our fell Ow-citizens, arc not entitled to the writ
of habeas carpus and trial bv jury ? Yes sir,
it is very possible, and very true, it is exactly
so, unti the legislation of Congress gives
them a arm of Government that lakes with
it and n aintains these general principles of
public l|>erty. Why, if the ideas of some
gentleman; the hopes of some persons, were
realized,find Cuba were to become a cession to
the Unit# I States, to-morrow, does any body
bupposei'iat the habeas carpus and trial by
jury alt* ues itself to Cuba ? Why anv more,
let mo aik, especially, the honorable Senator
from slit It Carolina—why arc they entitled
to theset ights any more than to our election
laws Mt\ political franchises; and popular
>ianvii%? Sir the whole authority of CilUi.
gross olWiis subj l "oMSCOiiipnrfoil in flifU very
short provision, that Congress shall have power
to make nil needful rules and regulations re
specting the Territories of the U. States. The
world is “ territory ;” for it is quite evident
that the farmers of the Constitution looked to
our no v accessions to make new territories,
hut as territories have been acquired from
time to time, they have been regarded as with
in that general scope and provision of the
Constitution and are all governed by that.
We have ne»er had a territory yet, either in
respect to taxation, to representation or judica
ture, or legislature, or anything else, but they
have also had a Constitution peculiar to them
selves. supposed to be appiopriate to their
condition, and which Constitution is the law
of Congress, establishing a territorial govern
ment; and that territorial government may
he one way, or it may he another way.—
I need -.ot say, and do not say, that while
we sit 1 1 re to legislate and pass laws for the
Terntoiies, we are not bound by every one of
the great principles of public liberty which
were incorporated in our Constitution, and
made tlfc foundation upon which it rests.
We should be unjust to ourselves, to the spir
it of the Constitution, to the cause of liberty
and good government, if we failed to observe
with religious scrupulousness, in the forma
tion of n Territorial government, any one of
these great, free, liberal conservative princi
ples. These are the considerations that are
to operate upon us in passing the law. These
nrinciples do not or cannot in their own au
! thority, propria tignrc, attach to Cuba or any
cession of territory made, because upon a ces
sion ot territory to the United States that ter
ritory does not become a part of the United
! Slates.
I propose, sir, not to pursue this discussion
but I do ask gentlemen, who are in the habit
of discrimination—l asii the hou. Senator from
South Carolina, particularly—to distinguish
between the great principles that ought to
govern us, while we pass laws for the govern
ment <if territories, and thoso'principles which
areiiiiterKit in our own system at home—part
and parcel of the authority under which we
act. and Irom which we are not at liberty in
any case to depart. It seems to me that we
we may take any part of the Constitution of
the United States—because it is as clear as
daylight that the Constitution of the United
Slates makes no provision whatever for the
government of the territories, except that pro
vision which leaves it all to the discretion of
Congress, regarding them as not of the
United States, not a part and portion of the
United States, but as a territory owned by
tlie United States and the Union established
under the Constitu'ion.
Mr. Calhoun. Mr. President, I rise, not to
detain the Senate to an extent, hut to make
a few remarks upon the proposition just ad
vanced by the Senator from New Jersey, (Mr.
Dayton,) endorsed in full by the Senator from
New Hampshire, (Mr. Hale,) and partially en
dorsed by the Senator from Massachusetts,
(Mr. Webster,) that thu Constitution of the
United States does not extend to Territories.
Nojw.sir, lam very happy to hear litis propo
sition iantwill have the effect of narrowing
tlie controversy to a very great degree be
tween pie North and the South as regards
tlie slam.' question. It is an impelled admis
sion on the part of these gentlemen to deny it;
for if tm Constitution does extend to the ter-
will be protected in its pro
perty
shield oHie Constitution, and you can put no
other upon tlie opposition which
have made to tlie extension of the
few
United Stales had made a decision mat the
Constitution did not extend to the Territories
hut by an act of Congress. I was incredulous,
and I am now incredulous, that any tribunal
pretending to have a knowledge ofoursystem
of government should profess such a monstrous
absurdity. Such a decision as that would be
a significant omen. But, sir, I for one say it
ought not, and never can prevail. The Ter
ritories belong to us. They are ours, as repre
sentatives of die States of the Union. We are
the representatives of certain States of this
Union, and whatever authority the United
Slates have in the Territories extends to ns as
well as to others. It is through the authority
of the Constitution that they have become ours.
Sir, there are some fjtiesti.ms that do not ad
mit of argument. This is one of them. The
mere statement carries with it the proof of the
fact.
1 am rejoiced to hear gentlemen by implica
tion acknowledge that if the Constitution be
there, we are under its shield. The South
wants no higher or stronger grounds to stand
upon. Vou have put us upon high grounds.
You have admitted that the only means of de
fending your claims, and refusing ours, is to
deny tiie existence of the Constitution in the
Territories. The gentleman from Massachu
setts, I say, only partially acknowledges it.
lie acknowledges that the great fundamental
principles of our Government may be carried
there, lie is right in that. Now, sir, is
there a more fundamental principle than this—
that this is a Federal Union; that the States, as
parts of the Union, are States to which the
Territory belongs in that capacity tinder the
Constitution? Is there a more fundamental
principle than this—that there is a perfect
equality between the memb 'rs of the Federal
Union in all respects ? There can he none,
sir. The Constitution forbids all discrimina
tion which would subject one portion of the
Union—nearly half the entire number—to the
other portion upon any auction. ■
wr.-r.i. [,..fT l , g t -.rupr.'i:n itmggh imi
ready to listen, if gentlemen choose to go on
and show us by u hat ingenuity they can make
out their case. It is a mere assertion to say
that the Constitution does not extend to the
j territories, l’rove that proposition. Prove that
j it does not extend; that it is incapable of
being extended.
I hold the whole course of this debate
to be triumphant upon this point. We are
put upon higher grounds. We have much
narrower grounds. It will he more easily
understood where wo stand, when it is
admitted that we are only outsted by ousting
the Constitution.

IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED
AMONG THE MANY important discoveries
and improvements of the present age, the
; undersigned lias it in his power to oiler to those
! afflicted, a remedy for Cancer, a disease liereto
| fore deemed incurable. This remedy was dis
i covered by l)r. 1!. Shepard, of Vermont, and
! made successful in his own case, after vigilant
■ trial and failure of ail other popular remedies with
; in Iris reach. Who, together with the undersign
ed, have made application of said remedy to many
1 eases whir astonishing success. This remedy is
! free from all mineral, or vegetable poisons, and
has been applied with eafety aud success to Cnn
i cer of the tongue.
i The undersigned carries the evidence of the
I astonishing power of this remedy, who was af
l dieted near ten years with a Cancer of the Eye,
| and after a trial of Corrosive sublimate, Arsenic,
| and various vegetable extracts, and washes, wilh
! out benefit, the remedy now' offered was implied
! and a sound and permanent cure of near three
years standing is the result.
This remedy is deemed certain in its hanpv ef
fect, if timely application is made, before the dis-
I ease reaches internal organs, or the case aggra
i vated by improper remedies.
CAUTION.—The undersigned has been an
I eye witness to many cases of this dreadful malady,
1 ■ and has seen various methods of treatment, aiid
' believes all propositions to cure without 'win, as
delusive, as no such case has met his obse-vatiou.
There are some cases, from the organs impli

remedies that have been used, may expect a cau

’ i It cannot be too forcibly impressed on those

1 now pledge inv honor, and refer to my liume

this remedy, in my opinion, has no equal, having

Mr. Crenshaw’s Recommendation.
Craicfordville, May 6, 1847.
I may say to the planters who may favor Mr
Hammack with their patronage, I will exert all
the ability I have in superintending the shop; and
every Gin sent from it shall be in complete order,
and warranted to be the cheapest Gin ever *iFered
|to the public. From my long experience in the
j business, 1 know they cannot be surpassed, al
though agents for other shops have resorted tothe
! oiiteniptible practice of slandering me, and say
ing my Gins have prostrated me, though it is net
true. 11l full confirmation of what I say, I offer
i a few certificates from gentlemen who have used
my Gins, and could furnish many more of this
kind if reqnired.
Certificates*
April 24, 1647.—Pear Sir: I have used the
gin bought of you for two years, and I very cheer
lully recommend it to the cotton planters of Ogle
thorpe and other counties of Georgia. It turn*
off" sufficiently fast to make good cotton. It be
ing 50 saws will throw out about 800 lbs. of lint
a day. The quality of the cotton has in Augusta
ranged a half cent higher at each of my sales than
other sales of those days, and it has been pro
nounced, by those considered competent to judge,
as in no way inferior to the Carver gin.
Yours, very respectfully
F. MERRIWETHER.
Oglethorpe County, April 23, 1847. I have
used, for the last three years, a machine that was
made by S. R. Crenshaw, of Crawfordville. I
consider it one of the best gins 1 have ever seen.
Two small mules will gin, with a great deal ol
ease, three bales per day, and 1 do not think there
is a gin in Georgia that can excel it in making
fine cotton In fact, Mr. Crenshaw has sold a
great many gins in this comity and Elbert, and 1
think every man who has purchased is perfectly
satisfied. All of his gins which have been sold in
this county, and they are not a few, run light,
pick fast, and w hat is better than all, when the
cotton is carried to market, it sells for the very
highest prire.

saw mi-friction cotton gin, which makes suped
rior 'otion to any gin I have ever had. I carriea
to Augusta a part of my crop last fall, which was
pronounced by on# of the best judges of cotton
n Augusta, to be the finest lot that was in Ins
warehouse. Two of mv neighbors lately sold
their crops, ginned on lily gi.'\ end obtained five
eighths of a cent per lb. above the uiaTirsgoriee
1 have not yet sold my cotton, but feel eoniaT?)*-»
of getting the highest market price when I do
sell. From all that 1 know of Mr. Uaininack’s
make of gins, and there are several in operation
around me, I would say to those wishing to pur
chase, they would do well to try his before pur
chasing elsewhere
MURTHA GRIFFIN,
Taliaferro Co., Ga., March. 1848.—1 hereby
certify that I purchased of J 1). Hammack, last
year, a forty saw anti-friction cotton gin, Which
I performed as well as any gin I have ever seen
■ tried. It made cotton equal, in my opinion, to
that of any of the Carvergins, which are so high
ly praised for their cotton. My gin and giuhouse
were consumed by fire, and as a report lias gone
abroad that the house was fired by the gill, I lake
Ibis opportunity to say, injustice to Mr. llam
mack, that it is false. 1 think 1 can with confi
dence recommend his gins to those wishing to pur
chase, for this reason: his work is all done by a
few and experienced hands, insleud of rough work
men, as is generally the case where there arc
j great many gins made.

Wilkea Co., Ga., March 26, 1848.—51 r. J. D
Hammack : This is to certify that I purchased ol
Mr. Crenshaw a 45 saw anti-friction cotton gin,
which performs as well as any gin I know. It
was easy, and free of heat, and What is better
| makes good cotton. I obtain for my cotton the
best market price, which is what the farmers
I should generally look to in the pieparationof their
cotton for market. lIEN.I. WALLACE.
Warren Co., Ga., March 28, 1848. This is
to certify that l purchased a forty-four saw cot
ton gin, of the box kind, from .4; D. Haminack,
last year, which performs well/ making as good
cotton as any gin that lam acquainted with. It
runs light and free of heat. The lioxes I consider
equal to any now ai us*. I Save ginned as much
as 1000 lbs. of clean cotton pCr dav on it. To all
who wish to purchase a good gin, I would say try
them before going elsewhere.
RADFORD GUNN
Crawjordville, May 4, 1847.—Mr. J. D. Ham

last year, a forty-five saw anti-friction cotton gin,
which performed well, and makes as good cotton,
hi my opinion, as the Carver gin.
