hucal strength! II Southern Senators begin by
making this concession, there must be some show
OF reason on that side. And is il to bc supposed
'nat the members from the non sIav.holdno States
VIII yield the point! AS to- tho Missouri COM
promise, the obvious reply which will BIO made
VIII be, that that compromise was made with ref
erence TO tho territory which was then included
in me Union, aud not to future acquisitions by
purchase or conquest. In case of such division,
shall we have gained any thing by having non
eiavehoiding States of the Union on our south
western border instead of "a foreign non-slavehold-
ing Siatee decidedly prefer the latter; for it
IS not to be denied that our Northern brethren, in
TINS respect at least, ga little more than kH and
little less than kind" often commit outrages
upon our rights which would no, be submitted to
from foreign Power; and, besides, il non-slave-
holding States Of the Union established
there, we should have the dangerous element of
political and party feeling, which would not ex-
Isl In the case OF foreign nonslavehoding State.
But the real question is not between Texas for
oign non-slaveholding State, and Texas divided
Into an equal number Of slaveholding and non
slavehOlding States Of the Union; hut it is be-
tween Texas thus divided, If admitted into the
Union, and Texas, il not annexed, an undivided
sIaveholding country. My life upon it, Texas
Will not consent; five per cent. Of her population
tcan never be brought to consent to the abolition
OF slavery. And we should thus have slave
holding Republic on our border, with similar in
s'itutions and interests, and which must from ne
cessity be our friend and ally, and which would
serve as breakwater between us and our non
slaveholdng neighbor, and would guard our from
tier; 10 use familiar illustration, enjoying all
the advantage which do with my neighbor whose
farnjons mine. while he has to keep up the fence,
which nevertheless protects my crop much as
II does his own. But il II is really intended that
all the States to be created of Texas are TO be
admitted as siaveholdng States, why was it not
80 stipulated in the treaty---why was it not thus
nominated in the bondl" Was it intended 10
4teai march on the non-slaveholding States-io
be silent now upon that point, and hereafter to in
slst upon it? If so, it should have been remem-
bcred that in the body which must decide tina,
