Mr. CHASE moved to amend the section as u now
stood by adding thereto the following words; Under
which the people Of the Territories through the sPpo
.r;ste renreseptatives may II they see ht prohibit
~Ssyery therein" He said the bill was avowedly based
on the principle Of leaving the question 10 the people 10
decide for the nseves He desired 10 provide that
mere might be no difference hereafter as - the meaning
Of the bin that the people had the power to protect them
selves from Slavery
M, PRATT said if the object of the Senator really
10 give the people full power why did he not insert in his
amendment after the word prohibit, the words or intro
1duce I" IL would then leave them the power 10 DO
either.
Mr. JONES Tenn, sod the Senator either sought to
narfect the b or embarrass it, If NE amendment was
adopted would the Senator vote for Inc senator re-
fused 10 answer 1t clearly attempt 70 enbarrass
the bill and the friends of the measure ought 10 VoIe
and all others down.
Mr. CHASE said he could not vote for the o, put ne
had the right to move amendments whicn II sdOP,eu,
would render it less Objectionable. He did not 0eeVene
reople of the Territories could eentutonally itrocuce
syery but he desired them to have the power to protect
themselves fromit He had numerous other amendments
TO offer 10 the bill.
Mr. BADGER-The effect and object Of the amendment
was to deprive it of one half Of s force was 70 limit
the power of the people to the prohibition OF Slavery
Why would not the Senator agree to gave hen the power
10 introduce well to prohibit lie SAID ne would
speak to morrow at length the bill and in its favor
Mr. BROWN said he would ask for ten minutes al some
fine upon this point He one Of those who dd not
believe the people Of the Territories had any right TO legs
late to the exclusion of Slavery.
Mr. CASS said the amendment presented an important
question which would have to be met IL was the power
Of the people legslate for themselves This bill gave
them that power fully, provided the Constitution allowed
n IL the Constitution did not allow it then the power
given by the bill was nugatory.
Mr. BUTLER said that if Congress had no power to e-
Vslate on this subject he believed had NOT then the
eople of the Territories could have no dervave power
under any act of Congress
Mr., CkSS-I differ from You, in tote.
Mr. WELLER said he was opposed 10 the unquaited
veto which this bill gives the Governor of the Territory
Mr. DOUG LAS said that that matter would be attended
TO hereafter. ,..,
Mr.. BADGER got the floor whom the Senate adjourned
