What was said when the Missouri CJmpromSe

Then, a. now, when It was approaching It's pas

How was il received when 1t passed The bells
rang, the cannous were fired, and every do non
stra,on Of Joy throughout the whole LAID, was made
upon the settlement Of the Ai.Soar ComPtomBe.
Nor is it true, as has been unkillly suggested,
that Northern men were Obliged 70 remain az nome
and incur the disgleasuTe Of their constituents -
There was Henry Baldwin Of Pittsburgh Henry
r. Storrs Of NeW.YOrk, and others, II had time to
enumsrste them, who voted for the settlement
of the Missouri question and who retained the con
ldence and affection Of their respective oonsstn-

as understood him-to throw out something BY
way OF menace to Northern Senators, 10 make
them sEeTve from the patriotic duty which lies be-
fore them Of healing the agisi.iou Of the country.
They did not los the confidence OF their country.

Yes cir, the Missouri Com romise vas received
with exultaton aud joy. Not the reception Of
the Treaty Of Peace, negOt sted A. Ghent, nor
any other event which has occurred during my
progress in public life, ever gave sucl uloolni'
ed and universal satisfaction a. Tue settlement
of the Missouri Compromise. We may, argue
from ike causes-likc effects. Then, indeed, there
was great exci.emant-then, indeed all tie lie
gislhtures OF the North called out for the exclusion
Of Missouri and al the Legislatures OF tho South
called out for her admission Sc STATE. Inen, as
now the country was agtated Ike the ocean IN the
midst u turbulent storm. But now more than
then. has this agitation been increased-Iow, more
Than then are there dangers which exist and II the
controversy remains unsettled, more aggravated,
ard more to be dreaded. The idea Of disunion then
was scarcely a low whisper. Now, i has become
familiar language in certain portions Of the coln'
try. The public mind and the public heart are be.
coming ismi'iarized with that most dangerous and
fatal f al events the diIunion Of the States.
People be gin TO contend that this is mob 80 bad
thing rs they supposed. Like the progress In ali
human events, as We approach danger II dlsaP-
pears il diminishes in our conception, and we no
longer regard il with the awful apprehension oil
consequences tina! we did before We cane IN con-
tact with it. Everywhere, now, there Is state
Of things, degree OF alarm and Apprehension and
determination 10 fight SIS they regard It, against
the ageressons OF the North, that do NOT 50 de-
mon,irate Itself a, the period Of the AilSour Com
promise. IL WAS followed in consequence Of the
adoption the measure which settled the dhic1lIy
OF Missouri, by peace harmony, and traa4alAi1y'
So now infer from the greater anouht OF danger
that if you adopt the measures under consideration
they too, will be followed by the same amount
OF conteutment, satisfaction peace and tranquility,
which ensued after the Missouri Compromise.
Again, another Instance Of Compromise Which
was attended with tie haPpiest effects | mean
the Compromise, in 1913, Of the Tariff. | colld
