Nebraska bill by covering another portion
Of Louisiana. allowing the people the same
privileges as in Utah, would repeal precise
ly on the same principle the prohibition Of
1890 over that part, the bill will cover, ex-
cept it be maintained that the older repeals
The latter law, which suppose no man will

address--though confused and mis'itied--
would hold out the idea that the compIom

The address says, in speaking of the Mis-
souri, act, 'for more than thirty years \
this compact has been universally regarded
and acted upon as lnviolable american law"
This broad "UNIvERsALLY REGARDED" is put
forth with all the assurance OF truth itself.
On the contrary the reverse is the fact,
taany at all times regarding it is an uncon-
sttutonal act. / will cite but two author
tiles 10 contradict the above assertion of the
address. S P. Chase says, (app. cong glob.
v. GO page 9l3, 'we cannot constitution
ally bind tie discretion ofa future congress" "
John P. Hale says, (ibid page I484 J Il

legislation here to make the parallel of 36.

free t,rritory." | will put Chase and Hale
of 1859 against Chase d Co. of 1854 -
Hale repudiates the line Of Sc, 80. and
Chase says we cannot cohstituonally bind
u future Congress. Yet in 1854 he says
in his address to the people of the United
States, that an act of 1890 is ''1NvIoLABLE
AMERICAN LAW law nrepealable BY
my FUTURE CoNeREss" through all time
Can there be h4ttcr contradiction thar
this? When it suited his case, he would
shout REPEAL, now he will shout lRREpEAL,
AnLE! Can you, fellow citizens, see any
"punc faith ~ this? While those who
put forth the same doctrine now. that these
men put forth four years ago, are held VI
as ''criminal betraysrs OF sacred rights" 0
making "atrocious plo,s," in the foules
language that atroci.y can invent.
The address depicts the consequences a.
