In the United States Senate on the 2sh OF May 1885,
in view Of the legislation then contemplated OF the pro-
gress which the Compromise OF 1850 had then made and
of the which the discussions had taken in that
body. Mr. Hale complained that, among the leading
members OF the Senate not one had been found to stand
up and advocate that old ordinance OF the old Congress
older than the constitution" %" has," he said been
denounced infamous and again We sit quietly here
and hear the faith Of fathers and the dongs OF this Con-
gress, from lis earliest moment up TO l548 denounced as il.
famous, and NOT WORD is SAID IN REPLY" Such was
the language of John P. Hale How does this agree
with the position taken by Senators Chase Everett, and
others, that no idea Of abandoning the Missouri Com
promise was entertained or suggested during all the dis
cussions OF 1902 What the Missouri Compromise
but the ordinance of 17s7 extended to new Territories
According TO Mr.. Hale, this whole policy-and indeed
entire legislation the subject of slavery down to
ls4s-had been denounced in the Senate as infamous,
and there leading member of that body 10 de-

this subject in 1854, il clear that John p Hale
must have alsifed in regard to il in 1850
But Mr. Hale went further. fhe greatest difficulty" be

and subsequent legislation of like character down to

thing is, BURY 1T OUT OF SIGHT" So, upon the
authority of John p. Hale, such course had been taken
early the 2sh Of May 1850, that the ordinance and
the Missouri Compromise were absolutely dead and

political allies 10 that 10 all that year. no, finger
