when, both representatives and citizens they intend 70
disregard and in the language OF Greeley spit upon it
every requirement aud obligation.
Mr. ID bad ncser doubted the reasonable and reyou

caamiiits which would beall the country II their docn
and practices were 10 obtain ascendency They claim
be the disciples OF progress and what arr

the manumisson Of foar millions of negroes and then per
feet equality and amaigamatiOn with twenty millions Of
whites for you viii bear Ia mind, rom their most en-
lighened leaders down 10 their deuded followers they are
for the abolition Of all distinctions on account OF color for
clothing the negro with the right Of suffrage for his cleo
ton 10 any Office for receiving him al the social board
and for allowing their and daughters to ntermarry
with the blacks. An these things and many more Of the
like character the objects which they seek TO accom-
plish In my opinion, The most DOWNWARD progress the
most hclish dannable and Internal propositions which
were ever conceived those for which they contend
ing But worse ifpossble than all this they ins
ing into the minds OF their children not only contempt
\ for constitution and law, but feeling which shall
prompt them urge the negro 20 revolt and nsurreco
and to view with complacency all the horrors OF SAS
DoNNoo MASSACRE in our southern slaes-makng heroes
OF those brutal Africans no may have cut the throa and

Mr. D. said that he had gone 10 Congress to repre-
sent NIGGERs laughter lthat neither the constitution
the laws of Iowa contemplated from their phrase
oogy that any such duty would devolve upon an Iowa
representative. When he supported "A measure which
cured in the broadest the rights of aESior
whom il seemed to hn the government had been formed
nothing cond be asked Of hin. Behold, again the
utter inconsistency of the aboliioniss and their allies In
the indulgence of their hatred to the who
happen TO negro they will vote TO deprive him
the right TO frame his own domestic institutions, and the
very next moment will confer the right of suffrage
and the right OF free iarm upon all negroes who may
emigrate to Nebraska and kansasthus filling up those
Territories If they had the power with ree-negro popu-
lation.

Mr. ID. said he believed he had performed some acts
service for the people of Iowa whilst he their repre-
sentative He had obtained many appropriations for the
exnguhment of Indian titles within the borders of Iowa
numerous appropriations for roads and bridges whilst
were Territory--approprati for the Rapids and
4O0000acre grant of land for the Improvement OF the
DeMoine; yet all of these did he esteem 10 be
equal to the benefits which would nure his State from
the passage OF the Nebraska-Kansas bill. 1t had been
urged for ten years it absolutely necessary the
success of the great national thoronghare to the Pacific
the construction of which he regarded question
of time But who visionary to suppose that it could
be DONE through wilderness of several thousand miles
without government and in the possession of savage
The boundary lines between the Territories ad
vanageously arranged for State There would prob
ably be an annual disbursement Immediately upon our
western border of one hundred thousand dollars for
territorial expenses, roads, and Indians the benefit Of
which to infant Missouri river towns ana seeientsh
ncalculable But in the great matter of railroad thor
oughares through State the opening up settlement
OF Nebraska, the building of towns and roads and
the banks of the Missouri will do for what the settle
ment of Iowa did for Illinois and Wisconsinadvane the
settlement of State and the development of its re-
sources AT least quarter of century
But it will be said that all these things could have been
accomplished without the repeal CT the Missouri restriction;
TO this answer aud do not believe they could For
upwards Of ten years the Nebraska bill had been pending
in one or both houses of Congress in the Senate there
no PREVIOUS quEsTIos nor power other than physical
durance to bring the body vote This fact alone leads
frequently the loss bills in favor of which there may
be majority. The journals also show that at previous
session of Congress Truman Smith, of Connecticut Gov
Davis and other northern wings when the battle
upon the Nebraska BILL which had then passed the House
without repeating the Missouri restrctionsepaated from
the friends of the bill and voted lay upon the table
This mark you, TOO, bill but for one Territory lts
seat of government would have been al Fort eavenwort
and its system of roads ard would all have
been tributary to St Louis and other parts of Missouri
If the Senate had been full might have passed bill
organizing the whole of the Territory by strictly section
al or geographical vote vote which he given
without causing animosities such eiauger the UAo
All the amendments and provisions Of the bill which Mr.
Douglas reported from the Committee Territories would
have been offered by southern members who would have
produced and speeches upon the compromise
measures in 1850, showing that then willing
leave the question of slavery to be determined by the New
Mexicans and Mormons but would refuse to refer
to intelligent and patriotic neghbors destined settle
decision of the question.
The men Of The South who combined with Hale, Seward
Co. to defeat the compromise of 1850 declared
TO their constituents that nsncere and dishonest,
