Of this amendment for the that all restrictions are I'M
necessary absolutely unnecessary and such restrictions
give offence and create kind of resentment as they create
degree of dissatisfaction, and desire to avoid all dissa-
tsfacon far cam by avoiding all measures that cause
it. and which in my judgment wholly unnecessary, shall
vote voted former occasion, and shall support
the amendment offered by the honorable member from Lous
ana repeat again, do it upon the exact grounds upon
which declared upon the 7h day of March that should
sist the Wilmot proviso-the precise grounds.
Sir does strike other Senators as strikes me,
but there be any qualification to that general remark which
made the opinion which expressed the 9TH Of March,
that every foot of territory of the United States has fixed
character for slavery slavery if there be any qua6
cation to that remark it has arisen here from what to
be ndspoion define the boundaries Of New Mexico;
that is all the danger there Is All that is part OF Texas
by the resolutions Of ls45 thrown under the general
character Of Texan territory and it, for Of defining
the boundaries Of New Mexico by any proceeding process
hereafter, by any event hereafter let say TO gentlemen,
that if any portion which they do believe be Texas
should be considered become Texas then, far that quail
caon OF my remark is applicable And therefore, do feel
had occasion to say three days ago. that Of the
utmost importance pass this BILL to the end that there may
be definite boundary fixed now and fixed forever, between
the territory of New Mexico and Texas the limits Of
New Mexico and the limits of Texas. Here the question
lies If gentlemen wish act efficiently for their pur
poses, here it is in my poor Judgment that they called
upon act And the thing be done and done at once,
is to fix the boundaries Of New Mexico
Mr. President, when see gentlemen from my own part Of
the country, doubt from motives Of the highest character
and for most conscientious purposes concurng in any
of these great questions with myself that am
taking myself degree Of responsibility The
fact that gentlemen with whom have been accustomed to
in the Senate took different view Of their own duties in the
case, naturally led reconsider my course,
to re examine my own opinions to Judge my own udg
ment And now, sir that have gone through this process
without prejudice, hope-and certainly have done
under the greatest feeling of regret being called upon by
sense Of duty TO take which may dissasy to
whom should always be DESTROYS of rendering nv public
and every event and action of my public life accept
ab,e-yet cannot part from my settled opinions
leave consequences to themselves. II is great emergency
great EFFICIENCY that this country is placed in shall
deavor preserve proper regard my consistency
And here let say that neither here elsewhere has
thing been advanced to show that on this subject have said
or done any thing inconsistent in the slightest degree with
any speech, sentiment or letter, declaration that ever

object; and cannot, therefore, easily conceive why the
honorable Senator from Mississippi M Foors) has magin

and to make known the country by the vote we are about

DONATION OF LANDS.
Mr. JONES. Mr.. President, rise to ask favor of the
Senate and is but seldom that make calls upon the
time Of this body, hope the indulgence will be accorded to
move you to take and consider at this time, though
not strictly in the order Of business bill No 20, to grant al
sections Of the public lands to aid the State of Iowa
to construct railroad from Dubuque, via Iowa city and
keokuk, in Iowa. This bill Mr. President as have amend
ed and prepared it. is made TO conform in its provisions TO
the bill making grant of land the State of Illinois to aid
that State in the construction Of what is called the Central
Railroad have puposely made its provisions conform TO
the bill passed for Illinois, in order that there may be no ne
cessiy for amendment discussion in relation TO its prov
sons and principles the whole having been fully discussed in
this body the time of the passage OF that BILL This BILL
amended by my colleague and myself with the consent Of
the Committee Public Lands unes the two bills reported
from that committee providing for grants Of land to construct
railroad from Dubuque to Ktokuk, and one from DaVen
port, via Iowa city, the Missouri river The quantity OF
land proposed be appropriated as can estimate
the same, with the data now gven-the whole country
through which the proposed roads TO be constructed not
being yet suveyed-is about million four hundred and
fifty thousand being some seventy or eighty thousand
less than that granted sister State Of Illinois
The bill taken up and read, together with substitute
reported amendment by the committee, and an amend
ment TO the amendment which offered by Mr. JoSEs
Mr.. HAMLIN. There are two three things which
desire know before vote on this BILL and presume the
Senator from Iowa give the information desire
wish to know, FIRST the number Of appropriated by the
amendment proposed by the Senator from Iowa. and second
desire to know whether there any provision in either Of
the amendments, or in the original b-for believe this
