The csl WA let out of the bag during the discussion

But in his second which followed, he conquered
his reserve and LET out the secret as follows
Mr. President will state to the Senate the views
had two objections to it, One that the Indian
title in that territory had not been extngushed al least
very small portion of It had been. Another was the
Missouri Compromise or as il is commonly called the
Slavery Restriction 1t was my opinion a, that timeand
am not very clear that subject-t at the law OF
ConcrOs when the State of Missouri was admitted into
the Union excluding Slavery from the Teritoty of Lou
siana north Of 80 deg 30 min would be enforced in that
territory unless specially rescinded and whether
that law was in accordance with the Constitution of the
United States not it would do its work and that work
would be 10 preclude Shareholders from going into that
territory But when came TO look into that question,
found that there prospect no hope of repeal OF
the Missouri Compromise excluding Slavery from that
territory Now Sir | am free to admit that at this
moment al this hour and for all time to come should
oppose the organization the settlement of that territory
unless my constituents and the constituents Of the whole
South OF the slave States OF the Union could 90 into 1t
upon the same footing. with equal rights aud equal
privileges carrying that species of property with them as
other people of this Union Yes Sir acknowledge that
that would have governed me but have no hope that the
restriction will ever be repealed
have always been of opinion that the first great error
committed in the political history Of this country was the
ordinance of l7s7 rendering the North west Territory free
territory. The next great error was the Missouri Com
promise But they are both irremediabe. There il no
remedy for them. We must sui init 70 them am pre-
pared 10 do IT, II i evident that the Missouri Compromise
cannot be repealed So far that question concerned
we might as well agree the admission of this territory
now As ne year. or five or ten years hence.
Mr. AtchisOn occupied the ground at the be-
ginning it seems as the Mississippi, South Carolina
and Texas Senator's did at the close of the Session
This gentleman apparently halted at the start under
the influence of the Southern propagandsts, but hs
sides being well pricked by the public sentiment OF his
own State, be withdrew bis opposition TO organizing
the Territory on the explanation given in theFxJract
above
II is here made very plain what the real opposition
TO the admission of Nebraska arises from. 1t is simply
because it is rte territory The Slavery propagandists
are ready enough for annexation OF Sars States but set
their early and late against everything like free
soil And these gentlemen have defeated, far, the
organization of Territorial Government for Nebraska
purely on this ground.
The tone Of recent discussion this topic makes it
manifest that those who have opposed the establish
ment OF the Territory of Nebraska intend 10 make
more determined and lawless opposition than ever.
Notwithstanding Slavery is excluded by the Missouri
Compromise from the territory north OF 80 30 It Is
stoutly and mpudenty urged that Slavery shall
tleess be permitted 10 Nebraska although the Terri
tory lies wholly north of this line Mr. Atchison re-
marks are not only conclusive as to what the Slavery
propagandsts want but are clear to the difficulties
that beset the way of these Unon-saving patriots.
The discussions to which we allude are eelers
thrown out TO ascertain how far the public mind is de-
OF degradation il may be counted to descend, and
what Outrages il may be expected to tolerate under
the existing egime OF anti-FreeSoil Democracy 1t is
loudly demanded that Cuba shall be annexed as a
Slave State, that California shall be divided, and a
Slave State carved out of the southern half and finally
that Nebraska lying all north. as ii does, OF 50 80
shall be opened to Slavery.
Let 10 one indulge the idea that this scheme as
CARDS California and Nebraska is chimerical They
are absolute and fixed objects which the Slavery pro-
pagandists are steadily aiming and methOdcay driving
The reagiaiOn of the Slavery question has been de-
liberately opened in this State in the war be-
tween tie Hards and SOfts. The secret history Of
this Increment is aot yet written There is in it
than appears on the surface There is in it than
simple revenge for slight in the distribution of the
public plumber in ii than opposition 70 the
men or the measures of this Administration. Ii is the
first step in a new organization, intended to make the
future Administrations OF this Government more
actively aud intensely ProSayery than they have
been--an organization which means to trample genu.
