But protecting say that regretted exceedingly
the OF the distinguished from North Caro-
lima, Mr. BApaEs for do think that upon every question
oflegslation or prneiple---
Mr.. BUTLER observe that the senator from North
Carolina is not here understood him say thai as the
senator from Ohio Mr.. CHAnl had distinctly adyer-
sed himself to the Senate, 10 the North and the South
that he was an enemy this BILL the from North
Carolina therefore would receive any amendment from
him. because il must be hostile 10 the bill That was
his proposition as understood H.
Mr.. STUART. | do not doubt that; chat was his prom
oson But should like TO ask any genteman-as would
ask the distinguished senator from North Carolina himself
If he hereto tell me calmly and cooly he would re-
fuse receive suggestion from his personal enemy
upon earth, simply because 1t came from that enemy
should differ from the senator from North Carolina in
regard 10 the effect Of the action Of the senator from Ohio
Everybody knows do not agree with him not at all
though respect him very much.
But would call the attention of the Senate what oe-
cured here the other day The gentleman from Ohio INTRO
duced amendment to strike out that portion Of the bin
which declared that the legislation Of 80 in principle super
seeded the legislation of 20 And believe that nobody ex-
cep my colleague and myself who IN not down here IA
aboons,, voted for il, And YET, within eight minutes
the from Illinois Mr.. DouclAs got Up and moved
an amendment which did strike out but also substituted
another declaration that IL inconsistent with il, and
those very gentlemen voted for H. Nov, sir thought
them and think now, that the remark which made to The
Senate that day sound one, that would give
such did not need any explanation The decara-

voted for ii, because it inconsistent principle. The
excluded slavery and the other proposed leave the

fasy the Specification Of The English language before that
be true Now, that il proposition Illustrative Of The
doctrine of the senator from North Carolina.
do not know what amendments the senator from Ohio
may have in store lie may have some very good ones.
IA have said before, de not agree with him at ALI do
agree with his political principles; and may say, all
good feeling towards that senator that think the opposition
he and his associates have made relation TO this bill has
made than votes in this Senate in favor Of it,
Why, sir you in the have put, In tho argu
men of the senator from North Caroa that gentlemen
absolutely afraid to touch amendment, 10 look one
eonside any proposition that from the
from Ohio. Now, If other senator in this body had
moved that amendment, such sthe disin-
gushed senator from Delaware, Mr. CLArroN,] there
would have been objection, rather, more otectos
| TO this bill than the,e is to-day. 8
MIR. CHASE If the honorable senator will permit me,
will say that among the amendments which propose to
offer to this b the very one which he has indicated his
lighted have offered by the honorable senator from
Michigan Mr. STUART, whose connexion with The msor-
ity party this chamber viii give weight than it
would have If it came from and will say regard
to every amendment have 10 offer should be extremely
glad 10 have them come from some other quarter But
| from what other quarter are they 10 come! tH
Mr.. STUART. | wish the understand from
that in sentiment, in feeling and in cxprsson desire
and design disrespect to him his opinions
the least do mention this with any such yiew and
that s all have say upon the subject alluded to the
fact merely as being, in my Judgment an existing fact.
But my object, as told the Senate in rising, make
the point that should back The condition
of the BILL that amendments to the amendment to the
Amendment pending might be made, and distinct
proposition put because do not desire gvea here
which will place in false position. shall vote for
every single proposition which renders clear and distinct
and nnequivoca the main object Of this bio confer upon
the territorial organization the power legsate upon this
4 question well as upon all others.
