proposition so bold, so unlocked for 80 startling
and yet so pregnant as this, should have some
plea of necessity He denied the necessity for
any such BILL He alluded TO the condition OF fhe
Indians and The rights guaranteed Them by the ma
ton in this territory. The Indians must go, and
wheref They cannot go westward they cannot
return They must remain in Nebraska While
they remained there, the Missouri compromise
could harm one.
He commended that the Missouri line was in
tended TO apply to the Louisiana territory alone.
No one, then, supposed that foreign territory was
10 be acquired out of which slave States were 10
be formed. If it did extend further, he would
like to know Il. II might be important hereafter
when China bemame annexed TO the United
States,
souri, compromise. and held il TO be indisputabe.
He urged that, TO preserve peace and harmony,
senators ought not 10 wage the war of slavery
against freedom. II was an error TO suppose that
any act of Congress could suppress slavery agita-
ton, or keep down the sentiment of freedom
which animated the people of the non slavehold-
ing States. II could not be done. Four years
ago the Wilmot provso was buried beneath the
floors of the Senate, and its obsequies were per-
formed with pomp and ceremony, and yet TO-
day il was stalking through the halls OF Congress
clad in completest steel.
He continued his remarks till nearly four
o'clock.
Mr. PETIT obtained the floor, and said he
would speak on Monday,
Mr. SUMNER said he desired 10 speak on the
bill and would be glad TO follow the senator from
Indiana on Tuesday next. %
The bill was then postponed, .H
And tie Senate adjourned till Monday.

these States shall be severed There are times
when we should all speak plainly. He would say
TO the gentleman from Georgia and 10 others OF
the south that ifthey claim that one Of the objects
of government is to make a. conquest OF territory
from other nations which has been dedicated to
freedom, in order that the institution oil slavery
may be extended over III and If il is TO be declared
one OF the great purposes Of government that the
Institution Of slavery shall be propagated and per-
petuated in that way, when this principle is fixed,
then set him down as disunonist.
He then repeed the charge that he was free
soil agitator, and replied TO portion of the re-
marks of Mr.. STEPHENS. He believed that there
was no express authority in the Constitution for
the enactment of such law as the Missouri COM
PROMISE yet he believed occasions might arise
which requires the enactment of extra consttu-
tional measures, in the ease of the Louisiana
purchase. He quoted from Thomas Jefferson
and other eminent authorities, TO show that il was
the intention of the revolutionary patriots TO put
check on slavery. and commended thar Congress
has power TO exclude slavery from the territories
Mr.. KERR addressed the commtie in support
of the compromise measures of 1850. As a
southern man, he felt himself specially bound TO
stand by them and under no circumstances would
he impair the solemn obligation. Gentlemen
might say what they pleased about peace and
quiet but there was no other mode 10 obtain peace
and quiet except that proposed in the Nebraska
bi--the right of the people to establish their
own institutions. As a welkown Union man,
his motto was liberty aud equality, or DEATH lie
had no idea of yielding 10 the Union, TO be OPP
pressed Until the north fully understand this,
they will not cease 10 Cypress the south. The
south must plant itself on the Constitution and
equal rights, or il will never be able 10 make a
successful resistance 10 those who proclaim the
the principles Of the higher law" and defy all
government authority when it comes in conflict
with their own private purposes.
Mr.. GIDDINGS made some explanations in re-
lation TO the louisiana purchase.
The committe rose, and
The House adjourned until Monday.
