convctng Of inconsistency Speaking Of the bill of the
Senator from Missouri, said
"The bill brought forward as viii be perceived by
those Who will examine null6es this Missouri compromise
principle in all the territory proposed to be purchased and
every acre OF placed in the plight aud condition

Speaking afterwards of my territorial BILL it was
originally draughsed, I said /:
proposed to pay to Texas specific sum- just onehaf Of

ownership of the publ lands situated in the country
monty called New Metco north of the line be

tory an which the right property in portion the public
lands thus to be purchased principle Of compromise
embodied in the resolutions Of annexation. This reservation
will be Mt once perceived arrangement which cannot
be dispensed with without incurrng the Of Immediately
multiplying the number of free States and deeply endaDger-
ing the whole Southern section Of the Union.
This had resolved to offer scheme Of conro-
mise which, with the establishment of Territorial Govern
ment in New Mexico in Desere and California and the ulti
mate admission of California State, when freed from her
present unfortunate organzson hoped might tend to settle
the vexed question Of the Wilmot provso forever"
Yes sir insisted then that no scheme of cession should
be proposed to Texas which did not cautiously
TO the Territory ,chch tie right of property in the
promise embodied tn The resolutions of annexation this
very thing done by the report Of the committee
and yet the honorable Senator from Alabama see
difference in this respect between the bill Of the Sena
tor from Missouri and the present Well sir, if am
fortunate 10 satisfy the honorable Senator from Ala

little less psudiced and quite much inclined to de-
