THE NATIONAL ERA, WASHINGTON, B. c. AUGUST 49, 1850

To buy peace on such terms is not merely dis
honorable, but the danger is as great as the dis
grace. The people will hold their representatives
who bind them to this bargain to rigid account
ability.
At the risk Of fatiguing our readers, we must
add one further objection to the Senate line, which
seems to us weighty, but which has not been adj
verified TO, so far as we are aware. The Senate
line leaves sixty thousand square miles south Of
Red River, and thirty thousand square miles
above, between our present Indian country and
New Mexico, in the possession of Texas For
long time to come, this country must be inhabited
by Indian tribes. They are left within the State
Of Texas. Who can tell what difficulties, what
troubles, what expenses. this arrangement may
entail upon u.s. Those who know anything OF the
history of the Indians in Georgia and Alabama
can con;ac.rra

THE IEFFERSON PROVING.


The clause of a territorial bill prohibiting the
introduction Of slavery is now generally denom-
mated the Wilmot Proviso. The truth is, that
Mr.. Jefferson first conceived the idea Of such
proviso, and was the first to propose it as prac-
tical measure. On the LIST Of March, 1854, a
Committee of Congress, Mr.. Jefferson being
Chairman, reported plan of government for
all the territory of the United States coded and
nhA eAiAJ This Nlsp oqpteWplated the division
of the whole into States, with the following pro-
viso: Provided, that after the year 1900 Of the
Christian Era, there shall be neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude, otherwise than in the
punishment of crimes whereof the party shall be
convicted to have been personally guilty.
The Ordinance of 1887 contained the Proviso
modified by clause authorizing the reclamation
of fugitves from service in the original States es-
capped into the Territories.
1t was this Proviso Of Jefferson which David
Wimot, on the Sth Of August 1916, offered as an
amendment to the Two Millions BILL and it was
the Provso of Jefferson which Mr.. Chase offered
to the bill providing Territorial Government
for New Mexico, four years later, in the Senate
of the United States.
The 22d section of that bill contained several
provisions restricting the action Of the Terrific
rial Legislature, the last Of which was prohibi
ton against imposing higher taxes on the lands of
.-..Ie Of residents Mr. Chase
moved to amend this section by inserting after
III. -z.1 = -IcS3f=ssn 4. 4 .,-s- q NJ
shall there be in said Territory either slavery or
involuntary servitude otherwise than in the pun
ishment of crime whereof the party shall be duly
convicted to have been personally guilty" and
said I'll do not intend to make speech upon this
amendment, but wish to say to the Senate and
to the country, that this amendment is in the
precise words-only 30 far modified as to adapt
them to their position in this bill-of the Proviso
of MIR. Jefferson, now extant in his own hand
writing to the original plan of government for
the entire territory of the United Statesn
The difference between the vote in 1884 and
1850 is striking The Jefferson Proviso in 1884
received the votes of six States against three and
sixteen delegates against seven. In 1850 it re-
ceived the votes of thirteen States against fifteen
and of twenty Senators against twenty-five. Two
States, New York and South Carolina, were not
represented in the vote, and fifteen Senator'S we're
absent or did not vote. OF these, five would have
voted for and ten against the Proviso. This would
seem to be sad evidence of degeneracy, and yet
we cannot but believe that the public at large
are now more antislavery than the leaders,
whereas, in that day, the leaders were more anti
slavery than the people O.

bear testimony against the institution, are de-
TERED from doing 80 for fear OF being sus-
pected of having sffnities with those men OF
the free States who are engaged in this bust
ness. The masses Of mankind are not in the
habit of making nice distinctions; and they are
too frequently obtuse to such as are obvious
upon a moments examination. IL q man is I'M
derstood to be opposed to slavery, to have a
conscience on that subject, he naturally becomes
an object of suspicion to the Southern people.
II is for this reason that too many Southern
men who have expressed sentiments unfriendly
to slavery have taken great pains to disclaim
all sympathy for the slaves; it is only the inter
ests of the whites that they care for, they would
have us believe; but We are disposed to give
them credit for little humanity, even at the ex-
pense of their candor. This state of things-the
bitter prejudice against everything which looks
to the abolition of slavery which causes the friends
of the slave like Peter, to deny the truth that is
in them is in great degree owing to the excesses.

But, lastly, We dissent from this bill, and SOL
emily protest against it's passage, because, in
sanctioning measures so contrary to former pre-
cedent, TO obvious policy to the spirit and intent
Of the Constitution of the United States for the
purpose Of excluding the slavebolding States
from the territory thus to be erected into State
this Government in effect declares that the exclu
sion Of slavery from the territory Of the United
States is an object so high and important as to
justify a disregard, not only Of all the princi-
Piles of sound policy, but also of the Constitution
itself Against this conclusion we must now and
forever protest. it is destructive Of the safety
and liberties of those whose rights have been
committed TO our care-fatal to the peace and
equality of the States which we represent-and
must lead, if persisted in, to the dissolution Of
that COnfederdcy in which the slaveholding
States have never sought more than equality
and in which they will not be content to remain
with less.

THE TEN MILLIONS AND THE HOUSE,.

The National Inelligencer presents daily COL
umn after column of extracts from the newspa-
per press, intended to operate on the House of
Representatives in favor of the gratuity of one
hundred thousand square miles, or sixty-four
millions of acres Of land, to Texas and Slavery,
and ten millions Of dollars besides, to buy peace
We have stated our views of this measure in
another column. The attention of the country
cannot be too earnestly called to it.
OF the extracts published in the IntelHyencer,
those from the slave States are exutant, while
those from the free States are submissive, though
reluctant None are given from the almost num-
berless presses which decidedly condemn the
measure, while the deprecatory tone of the cita-
tions from the free State press clearly reveal
the deep dissatisfaction of the people, which is
sure to overwhelm most of those Northern Rep
resentatives who venture to support it,
To the House the Imelhgeacer says: 1t is not,
therefore, to be doubted, that if nothing occur
to mar the prospect, the bills which have passed
the Senate will pass elsewhere, and become laws.
The members of the House of Representatives
are servants who know their Lords will and who
mean to do it."
By the Lords" of the House. the Iatellgen.
GER doubtless intended the People, though the
sentence, taken by ITSELF would suggest differ
ent idea an idea, too, we fear, more in conso-
nance with the actual state of things The House,
this session, has better represented the Senate
than the People. 1t has paid, thus far, greater
Difference to the wishes of the Senate than to
the wishes of the People. If now, under the
pressure Of this Administration, it ratifes the
action of the Senate on the Surrender bill, its
e servants who did their Lords will"
Let those who will vote to surrender to Texas
and slavery, land and money without stint. They
will be surely remembered. The very men who,
out of Congress, now urge the deed will hereaf-
ter be foremost to condemn it. and say, chad ne
been there, we would not have done this shameful
thing. Elect US, and see if ne submit to the des-
potsm of the slave power"
There is no excuse for the surrender. Texas
threatens, to be sure. Yes, Texas, with an agent
at the Capital, begging for two regiments to pro-
tect her frontier from the Indians threatens the
United States Texas, with hardly thirty thou
sand voters, unable to protect herself from the
Indians, talks of sending eight thousand soldiers
to Santa Fe. Texas, bankrupt and appealing to
the United States to assume and pay her debt,
talks Of raising and maintaining an army against
the National Government.
The Constitution and law provide the punish
ment of treason. Let the House Of Representa-
tives disregard impOtent menace, and Senatorial
example, and Administration influence, and silly
buster, and do their own duty according to their
own convictions, to their country and their God

THE MASS MEETING At MACON.

The general ratification mass meeting when
was to take place at Macon on the 22d instant,
aud which was to bring together 10000 red-ho'
disunonists, has resulted in total failure, The
object of the meeting was to ratify the doings oil
that other abortion, the Nashville Convention
and Notwithstanding the excitement and Jury
which is said to prevail in the Southern States
the dsunionists could only bring together hneen
hundred people, one-third of whom were opposed
TO the proceeding, and were drawn TO the place
by curiosity Such Is the account we gather from
the Georgia papers II will be remembered that
