90 Will some member OF Congress be kind
enough TO send rs copy of the map OF Texas
lately published We wish 10 see the bounda-

Meantime, we must frankly confess, that Mr..
Haywood's speech, ingenious as it is, has failed 10
convince us ui the propriety OF establishing the
:lthllcyree Of latitude as the new Compromise line
between Inc slave and The non slaveholdin3 STATES
The line oi tie Missouri Compromise was thc
3d. degree. E;cn tina, line We recollcct, was
very seriously resisted by many Of the Southern
people. They con,ended that such restriction
was contrary 10 The spirit oi the Constitution
which permitted States 10 come INTO Tie Union
without any restriction relative 10 slavery
They contend, TOO, that The line is unequal-bc-
cause il allows The Eon.slavcfolding States a
nuch Greater scope OF territory, extending 10 the
Pacific, ana embracing Oregon, than what lays
IN I'M, Sou,h OF the line Ii was also the esla-
hlisLcd line Of Texas at the time when the Flori-
Ia Treaty was ratified and when we exchanged
,Lot country for Florida. We humby conceive,
therefore. that we have right 10 call upon our
Northern brethren, il We are 10 abide by thu
Missouri Compromise in all future time, 10 re-
specl lis boundaries now when We are attempting
10 regain The territory which we possessed al
Inc time OF the ratified cession. For one, there
tore, with all respect TO The Senator from Norm
Carolina we object 10 his bill, because II iel'n-
ouishes y degrees OF latitude which ought 10
belong 10 the weakes, portion of the Union.-
we prefer MIR. Fosters bill 10 Mr.. Eaywood's,
which preserves The principle OF the Missouri
Compromise. which takes in Te1asas a State With
on any dclav-and which presents the PROPOSE
lion ri annexation in a simpler form, and sirpt.o
