he, they are excluded. The bill in the
makes no provision for carving ont
20 terms OF the compact, but leaves in
B6ubt the right Of the Southern people,
| throughout all the territory proposed to be pur-
| chased; whilst many who support the bill de-
clare that in effect 1t excludes entirely the
people otthe Southern States from all the ter
ritory purchased. The least evil therefore the
bill can bring to the people OF the Southern
h,, h,r
rassment and litigation.
But you will have very inadequate con-
ccption of the Importance OF the territory taken
from Texas by the bill, if you coniine your
views TO Texas. II you will look at the map
OF the United States, you viii perceive that
the territory proposed to be surrendered by
Texas lies throughout its whole extent along
the western frontier OF the Indian territory.
This isnow save-holdlng country: and must
be considered as part OF the South Place
along their whole western boundary two nom

But this is not the end OF your concessions ey

people. Slavery existed IN the District OF Co.
