It was ominous of evil that every Southern Senator present, whether Whig or Democrat, without regard to past political distinctions, voted for the repeal, with the exception of Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, and Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, who voted against it; and that every Northern Democratic Senator present, uniting with the South, also voted for the repeal, with the exception of Messrs. Allen and James, of Rhode Island, and Mr. Walker, of Wisconsin, who voted against it. Con. Globe, 1853-4, p. 1321.

Brown, of Tennessee, deceased; and Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania, Attorney-General. The annual message throughout, before it was communicated to Congress, had been warmly apced the correct construction upon both messages, and therefore denounced them in severe terms.

They had hitherto stood aloof from secession, and had manifested an earnest desire not only to remain in the Union themselves, but to exert their powerful influence amended. Ibid., p. 70.
