that of the North without repeating that Compromise The
South could take the description property there that
the North could that there perfect equality in this
respect in relation to all such property was recognised
such by the universal law of the land
He was willing to agree with the gentleman from Ala
bama Mr. PHILLIPS, that the Missouri Compromise
legal enactment which repealable by Congressthat il
not legally binding compact bnt although it was
not binding in the courts of law was binding in the
court Of honor
Mr. PHILLIPS said he sontended it was not binding in

the North in 1921.
Mr. BANKS said the Compromise of 1920 based upon

The South had taken that part of the Compromise which
belonged to her and now the gentleman denied that which
He denied that the bin contained any clause which au-
horized the majority Of the people Of that Territory to
choose their own government and therefore it could not

Mr. " continued at length to argue in favor of the

the question OF slavery by shutting its agitation out Of the
walls Of Congress
Mr.. PARKER, Of Indiana declared himself decided oP
ponent of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise He said
