ny tbe innaosnis not by any one human beoy living or

motion in Congress- silent secret lmping hAliing
creeping squinting mpsh moon-concsived the dark,
midwftd in committee room. and sprung upon Congress
end the country 10 the style in which Guy FATkes ntea Ted
to blow up the Parso en House with his FIVE hundred
barrels Of gunp0wder hid In the cs.' under the wood
Lang ter Ny answer TO such motion is to be found
III The whole voune of iry political life have stood up
on the Missouri Compromise for above s'y Year., ana
uetn to stand upon il to the end Of my life s1 IN dong
90 shell act not only according 10 my cherished con
Vcons OF duty but according TO the often declared con
ytotions Of the GDeral Assembly Of my State s sd
that the measures Of 1850 superseded h. Conproise Of
1920 II why treat still existing and there
fore to be repealed by an exception in order 20 get rid Of
h IL i.wss repealed IN $50, why do il again in
1854 Why kin the dead Bot il not suspended
but act Nedged and confirmed by every speaker in l30
that reerred 10 the subject and By every act thst
toned IT, 1bis being matter Of fact and proven by all
sorts Of testimony written and recorded it had 10
be given up through test Of political orthodoxy
long as itlsood snd something else pot in its place
1hereupon supervision tse Superseded by nconss
eucyOut Of the frying pan into the fire Lau ghter In
consistent signifies inability to stand together two things
which cannot stand together from and sisto Now.
what is the fact wh respect to the Compromises of s2O
and 1eJ0 Can they not stand together And II not,
why knock the down that il already down II is now
four ears since this inability to stand together took effect
and how do the two sets of measures make ont together at
the end of this time Perfectly well They both on
their standing bolt upright and viii stand 90 forever
unless Congress knocks OF the other OF them down
This fact known TO everybody and admitted by the
bill itself; for if the fret is inconsistent with the
second and unable TO stand, why ell this trou-
already fat his back on the ground Then comes
another reason that this Compromise OF 1870 inopera
tive and void If those who ag in its operation
should be content 1t in the very condition they wish
it useless powerless, inactive dead and no bar to the
empty, no'hng of It, Now, if the line of Sc deg 30
min is imperative and void it is in the CONDITION
Of a fence pulled down, ana the rails carried
away and the field leit open for the stock to en-
ter but the fence is not pulled down yet The
lire is not yet imperative and void. II is an ex'
listing substsntiaive line, alive and operating efec
ually 10 bar the progress of Slavery to the North
and will so continue to operate until Congress shall
s,op ts operation Then comes the final reason that
there never any such line in the world that It
was uneonstituora al and vod that il had existence
from the beginning and that it mut not be repealed ny
direct for that would be to ackno"dge It's previous
existence and nufy the constitutional argument ana
wi more terrible involve the authors Of the doctrine
in an Inconsistency Of their and thereby make them
selves imperative and void And this is the Analysis Of
the reason for the Nebraska BILL That part OF 1t whlch
If TO get rid Of the Compromise Of 1920 is untrue contra
dictOry suicidal and preposerous And why such FAR
rago Of nulles, incongruities and Inconsistencies
Purely and simply to throw upon others..uPon me me
blame of what tho bill itself is doing-the blame of
deetreying the Compromise Of 1890, and with It
desroying all confidence between the North and the
Soutb md arayng half the Union against the other
in deadly hostility is to be able TO throw blame where
II docs not belong And what is all this hoch potch ior
