they sanction the application OF the Mis-
soHri Compromise to the Territories; and
our Senators are instructed to vote accord
This is ell that is-required Of our
distinguished Senator, and this he calls con-
to put 'shim out Of their wsy, and
out of the way of him who plots q dissolu-
|tion Of the Union" "Disobedience was
|foreseen and provided against ne says
What disobedience was foreseen and rrovi-
|ded against? That he would not give the
negative votes required of him, BY the reSo-
to wit: against the Wiksot Pro-
|cts0, or If il suits the Senator's taste bet
ter, the Jefferson PrOriso? SC. The mem
.bers Of the General Assembly not only FORE
saw his prochvity to GreesOilism and pro-
vided against it, but they had seen with re-
'grst and establishment, the Senator at the
preceding session of Congress, voting for
every slavery restriction, almost, that was
proposed either in season or out Of season.
They knew that he had separated himself
from the Southern Senators, end they found
him voting and cooperating with a small
squad of Free Soil Senator'S, from some of
the Northern States. They knew that he
had given votes that were q little too strong
for some hearty free soil men. Among the
votes thus given, I here insert a few copied
from the Journals, without farther comment:

the authority Of the Provisional Govern
|ment established BY the people thereof"
