His association wit i Slade thus Early begun continued lir Nugoli All the contests upon the fatuous 21st Rule. The history of that memorable Day Anil or. Belles connection therewith ends not with the Adjui rement. The Southern delegation met Afler the adjournment of the House in the Quot room of the committee on the District of Columbia and or. Patton of Virginia was directed to offer at the next meeting of the House the following Resolution As an amendment of the rules a resolved that All petitions memorials and papers touching the abolition of slavery or the buying Selling or transferring of slaves in any state District or territory of the United states he laity on the table without being debated printed read or referred and that no further action shall he had or. Benton continues a accordingly at the opening of the House or. Patton asked leave to submit the Resolution which was read for information. Or. Adams objected to the Grant of leave. Or. Patton then moved a suspension of the rules which motion required two thirds to sustain it and unless it obtained this salutary remedy for an alarming evil which was already in Force in the sen Columbia it appears that the expression of his abolition of unions is no longer confined to silent votes hut on the floor of the if extract the following from the congressional Globe a with regard to lilo consult Luliona Power of Congress Over this subject i would say that the Only doubt i have of the existence of the Power either to suppress the slave Traile or to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia is inspired by the respect i have for tint opinions of so Many distinguished and eminent men both in and out of Congress who hold that Congress has no such Power.

From the Montgomery .- the Bell sounds fatally at last. A sound has been at last clapped out of the Bell of . Or. John Bell has written a letter to or. Walts and one to or. Echols and others referring them to a compilation of extracts from speeches and letters running through a period of Twenty five years arguing we suppose that those Are the sgt leeches and letters Wlinich entitle him to the votes of Southern men.

Having been repeatedly is licit cd by our contemporary the .-Iimuiid a whip a a to inspect the boasted Jiro slavery record of John Bell we entered upon that duly with no Peculiar relish and have compile ted it fixed with no Little disgust. Proclaimed As or. Bell has been by his friends As the of the most sound men on the slavery question held no As the of the most Wise statesmen of our Colin try we had expected to have found a record of mathematical straightness unblemished in tie purity of Princi let Les by a single spot of favor to Aioli Louism. In All this we have been very very much disappointed. An attentive investigation of his record from 1826 to 1841 reveals him a acini abolitionists in the House of representatives anti from 1847 to 1859 in the Senate is one of those few Southern men who gave More attention to the a a sensibilities a of the North than to the principles of the South. The opponent of Henry Clay in 1850, and the supporter of Gen. Taylor the advocate of the omnibus Bill and the assailant of the report anti resolutions of the commit Ltd a of thirteen and a Suji Porter of the Homestead Bill these constitute the principle events in his Minim Porlant Public . John Bell entered the House of representatives in 1826 wit i High political Prin Cirdes unformed and his political status undetermined. The successful opponent of Felix Gamdy he a entered Congress a warm admirer of air. Calhoun and strongly of a used 0 the. Protective i system against upon the discussion of Llie ii cation a Zjr i a a As shivery to Aivil was proceeding to arraign the within the Stales and to make the Federal Congress the tribunal from Whit i to assail slavery in Virginia. Or. Ben Ion says visible commotion began to a tar Vail the House members rising clustering , Anil talking with animation. Air. Slade Contin tied anti was about Reading a judicial opinion in one of the Soti Hern , a Litchi defined i slave to he a chattel when or. Wise called him to order fur so leaking beside the questions the Stinn being ii ton the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and or. remarks going to Legal character As pro icily in a parliamentary tactics of every kind were .Snited to to Stop the indu Inita he Slade Force was even intimated if he did not ilc Sist Southern delegations retired from the Hall and finally or. Mckay of North Carolina a interposed an objection which i headed or. there was a Rule of the House that when a member was called to order he Sho take his Seal and if decided of he out of order he should not be allowed to speak again except on leave of the House the chair decided that or. Slade could not go on without leave of the House first obtained. continues a or. Run Char of North Carolina moved an adjournment. Or. Adams j. A anti Many others demanded the yeas and nays on this motion which were ordered and insulted in 106 yeas and 63 nays some 50 or 60 members having with drawn. This opposition to adjournment teas one of the worst features of that unhappy Days work the Ordy cute i of Keeting the House together being to increase irritation and multiply the chances for an outbreak. From the begin Ming Southern inem hrs had been in favor of it and essayed to accomplish if hut were required All their strength for unless two to one they were Defeated. Hap Lily the two to one were ready and on taking the Veas Anil nays demanded by an abolition member to keep his friends to the track and to Lipold the free slate anti abolitionists to their responsibility at Home the Vole stood 135 yeas to 60 nays the full two thirds and fifteen Over. A Btl is was one of the most important votes Ever delivered in the . Upon is inst depended the quiet of the mouse on the one Liand or on the of incr tic renewal and perpetration of the scenes of the Day before ending in breaking All deliberation and All National legislation. It was successful and that critical step being Ovici the of the Resolution but not secured by the co operation of or. Bell for says the historian a a the main question was put and carried but again on the yeas and nays to hold free state men to their responsibilities showing the same 63 in the negative with a few additional votes from the Iree state members. Thus w51s stifled and in future prevented in the House the inflammatory debates on these disturbing the political text Book a on the 28th of january 1840, the question was taken in the House on an amendment of altered by or. W. Cost Johnson to an amendment offered by or. J. Q. Adams to the rules. The amendment offered by or. Johnson was Carriell and was called the 21st Rule. It is As follows a that no petition memorial or .s-olution, or other paper praying the abolition of slavery in the District of co Ninhia or any state or territory of tic slave Traile Between the states or territories of the United states in which it now exists shall he received by this House or entertained Way in my judgement to make it desirable that unless by common consent the project of abolition Liall he wholly Given and abandon etl the remnant of slavery existing in the District shall be abolished at once at the present moment however the excite in slate of Public sentiment in the South growing out of territorial questions May seem to forbid such a a a. And again a i would be glad to see All cause of disturbance and Contention in the District wholly removed but let me say that this can never be done by the abolition of slavery unless it he accompanied by some Ade Moalc for the removal or the Eil Active c. Nirol of the slaves after they shall be emancipated. With this qualification and in order to test the of the North in regard to any Fullier and continued aggression upon Southern pro Yerty i would do contest to see soap eur in he dish id to dav.�? /6/i/. On the abolition of the slave Trade in that District he said a with regard to the proposition to suppress the slave Trade in the dist incl As already stated i had made my mind that it ought to be Ihne on seven al /6id. And again a if sir it were propos Eil now 4o eradicate slavery from the District and at the same time provide proper securities for tie removal or Eife control of the free Coloret Topi Lalion 1 am not prepared to say that the South ought to resist the measure. It Wou lil depend upon the spirit nod intention these he does not a mention in his Southern correspondence however they will serve his Pur it Ose very Well should he he questioned by his supporters in the North. What a pity for or. Bell it is that he i ii not write letters for the Southern Eye and confine those letters of a Southern circulation. And what a pity it is that he cannot so write for that it would be More respectful As Well As More satisfactory to you of accompany my answer with such an expression of my past course inasmuch As the Only reply i could make to All such letters would be hut Little More than a reference to it consistently with the i occupy before the having been placed in that position by a convention of enlightened patriots which deliberately resolved to adopt the Norelli if he could Only do this a no platform or i declaration of Princi Liis a a record certainly contains the raw material for inane featuring votes among All classes of politicians and would elect him triumphantly. But alas his whole record impartially Given shows him to have been sometimes for the South and sometimes against literally a fickle minded politicians trimming Las sails to catch Llie popular pies other than such As Are implied in the pledge to maintain the Constitution the Union and the Laws i consider that it would be a a a a renal repudiation of their views were i to give any new pledges or make any new declaration of principles. Such a collection or compilation As Breeze and always taking care of John Bell Liat of his vote of admission where docs or.
