Later in the day came some amendments
in relation 10 Slavery, and the members just
then seemed 10 think that they had each a
constituency at home.
Mr.. Adams of Miss, desired TO identify
The Missouri compromise with The Oregon.
wherefore il was not easy 10 see, except for
those who looked beyond the moment. The
motion was, therefore, submitted by way Of
amendment, that the plane line OF derarca-
ton was North and South between So and
30.
This was not clear enough 10 satisfy all, &
some of the Southern members persuaded
the mover 10 Withdraw il.
Mr., Burt Of S. c.. tried his hand at the
subject; ami submitted in substance that
'fndsmuch as the Oregon territory was mol tn
Of sc, 80. the line Of the Missouri Comprom-
Use, Slavery was prohibited.
The recognition Of the Missouri line was
palpably the object Of both of the men,
bers.
Mr.. Hamlin of Me-, said he should moi
oppose the amendment, though the Nilsson
ri compromise had no more 10 do with the
Oregon Territory. than with the West India
Islands He held, too, that the Missouri
Compromise had reference only tn the terri
tory in The Union. at the time it was made
The time had now..come. however, that there
was but one opinion in the free states OF the
Institution of slavery-not another inch of
slave territory could be added 10 the Union,
and wo unto the man from the free states
who runs counter 10 this opinion. No man
could stand up here and resist it Slavery
should be kept from all new territory, and
unless it was kept out by law. it would creep
into il rs Satan crept into Paradise.
This from man who voted for The annex
aiiou of Texas. but Mr.. HamIin felt j, nee
essary 10 explain this act. His judgement
told him that it would have prohibited the
extension by law OF the Institution of Sla-
very over that portion of Texas lying north
OF &c, 30. But the answer received was that
there could be no Slaves there, because the
climate and country would keep them out.
Subsequent events. however, had shown
that Slavery would be spread over the
whole OF Texas.
The members had now aroused from their
Inpor. Eyes were brisling. aud the fire of
iebate was kindling as a flamc,-aII how
