THE TERRITORIES

In the Senate, on Thursday, Mr.. FooTE gave notice
that he would to-day monday ask ioEthe consideration
OF the resolution introduced by him. asserting the expe
diency ofestabshing at this session Territorial Go
vernment for California, Deseret and New Mexico 81
trust The said Senators will prepared to give Their
views at that time, and that no opposition will then be
made to its consideration
Subsequently Mr.. HALE, Of New Hampshire, moved
10 amend by adding the following:
Securing to the inhabitants OF those Territories all
the privileges and liberties secured the inhabitants OF
the Northwest Territory by the ordinance of july 10
1887"
Mr. FooTE replied to Mr.. HALE's motion:
lift be not out OF ORDER beg leave to remar that
should certainly have introduced the phraseoogy of the
amendment OF the gentleman from New Hampshire into
the original resolution had supposed that the uhabi-
tans OF those Territories would not have all the priy-
eges and Liberties secured to them under the constitution
OF the United States that could be possibly secured by
extending to the region which they occupy the ordi-
nance OF 1857 But being OF wholly different opinion
from the Senator from New Hampshire, did not think
Improper TO introduce any such language into the resolu-
on and shall OF vote against the amendment of
the gentleman, because deem it wholly unnecessary.
When the Senator learns the true state OF the public
mind IN those distant parts Of the Republic he will find
that he and his associates abourng for the benefit of
people whose strongest desire be relieved now and
hereafter from the mschieyous effects of their unsoIc
ted friendship and their burdensome patronage II will
be for him then determine whether he will persst in
imposing the yoke otthe Wmot proviso upon the uecks
of freemen Jealous OF their true liberties and an xious 10
avoid all connexon with a fierce controversy which
has already shaken the solid fabric OF the Republic TO rs
foundation.
So we presume, the Senate will have the slavery cues
ton in full blast to-day.
