He is responded to by John P. Hale of New Hampshire, who, to the humor of the rest of the chamber, claims that Mason is taking the publication of petty "resolutions" much too seriously.

Title A name given to the resource December 14th, 1859 Resolution to form Senate Committee to Investigate the Harper's Ferry Invasion Subject The topic of the resource Harper's Ferry, United States Senate, Senate Investigation, Description An account of the resource Transcriptions of the floor minutes in which the Senate debated and deliberated on a resolution, submitted by Senator James Mason of Virginia, to form a select Senate Committee to investigate the recent Harper's Ferry incident. A brief exchange between Senator Mason and Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio is worthy of note: Wade voiced a few objections to the spirit of the resolutions, claiming that they would only serve to further excite the already high tensions in the country in the wake of Harper's Ferry. Mason assured Wade that the Select Committee would only seek to investigate the causes and material facts of the Harper's Ferry incident as fully as possible, rather than the Northern complicity suspected by the South. Sectional tensions between North and South reached a fever pitch nevertheless, and the Country tumbled along towards its inexorable and bloody destiny.

Subject The topic of the resource Harper's Ferry, United States Senate, James Murray Mason, Senate Investigation, Select Committee Description An account of the resource On June 15th, 1860, Mason read the report of the Senate Select Committee on the Harper's Ferry Invasion. While the material facts of the invasion was a relatively straightforward matter of receiving sworn testimonies from surviving witnesses (both town residents and survivors of Brown's company), the Committee also sought to investigate the precise nature and degree of material and financial support that John Brown received from Abolitionist groups and individuals. As the effects of John Brown's raid rippled throughout the nation, the Senate investigation became just as much an interrogation of Abolitionism as it was an interrogation into the raid itself.

Title A name given to the resource Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky: Report of the Committee of Thirteen Delivered in the Senate, May 8th 1850. with a response from Senator James Mason of Virginia. Subject The topic of the resource United States Senate, The Congressional Globe, the Slavery Question, Henry Clay, James Murray Mason Description An account of the resource On January 29th, 1850, Henry Clay rose to introduce a series of measures intended to resolve the divisive “slavery question” once and for all. A series of debates would ensue over the rest of the year over the resolutions, making the Compromise of 1850 the central focus of the 31st Congress. A committee of 13 was formed to deliberate on the resolutions and present their findings to the rest of the Senate. Henry Clay read the report of this committee to Senate on May 8th, 1850. At every turn, Mason stood opposed to the "Compromise Measures" as a whole, taking issue with any effort to bar Slavery from the western territories, bring in more free states into the Union, or to ban slavery in any location (such as the District of Columbia,) citing concerns of fugitive slaves from Virginia being given extra incentive to flee to the North, placing even greater financial burden on his slaveholding constituents. On both January 29th and on May 8th, Mason was recorded as speaking up in opposition after Senator Clay's remarks.
