offer OF compromise and the North ought so to consider
il. and should appreciate il.

anpathles Of the free States against 1t, hough they en-
ertan exalted opinion OF the integrity, honor. and

justice and the credit perceive ia her support OF the
compromise law OF 1850 painful waiver of her opinion
and feelings for the sake Of harmony and good will be-
tween her and the South and for the sake Of glor
Gus and happy Union.
The Nebraska bill is no violation of the Missouri
Compromise but only the substituting for il another and
better compromise. The spirit and effect OF the Com
promise of 1850 undoubtedly, (whether thought
intended at The time pot) virtual repeal Of ths
Missouri Compromise. The Compromise Of 1850 repeiedI
with scorn the Wimot-proviso principle, and thereby
overiopped the Missouri Compromise it regarded ter
ory north OF the latitude OF 80 deg 80 min The estab
fishing OF that line being the unfair principle, the
Nebraska bill therefore, is merely declaratory satsts
Of what is already law, and should be construed by
the Supreme Court, and presume would be.
