ise We in Convention but in Congress and do
not admit geographical division of parties in this chamber
although the Committee Of Thirteen formed upon that
prncipesix from the South, half dozen from the North
and from the borders of both. recognise no such
parties. know no North, and know South and
repulse and repudae thing forever Condemned

mysfies me- The bills ordinary legislation the
hands Of their aathos they become sacred compromise
the hands OF their new possessos They seemed be Of
account as laws: they become national panacea COM

The poet tells that will smell sweet by any other
name That be true of roses but of compromises In
smell
and here is the proof The Senator from Illinois Mr. DoUs-
brought in three of these bills they emitted no smell
The Senator from Virginia M MAsos) brought in anoh-
er of them--no smell in that The Senator from Missouri
who speaks to the Senate, brought in the ihdiito,
smell about it. The oactory Of the nation never
scented their existence But they jumbed to-
gether and called compromise, than the nation filed with

Now, all this is perfectly ineligible to me-
exactly shows precisely how the root is either

OF the old tho young This may be the case with
these bills To me it looks like clue to the mystery
but decide nothing and wait patiently for the solution which
