As respects s morality ofhs question, aitrespec's the
propr.ety OF passing this law, 1t Is my hrm conviction
that there is individual in the United States from
North TO South, from East to West Of Gay intelligence
who hes conviction that this law ought 10 pass CAears

NoID-is the author of this scheme measure that
southern and representative of southern State
would have ever attempted 70 bring forward There are
many allowances to be made for the southern savehoier
The people Of the South taught from their infancy %
consider iust system. The hrs cssol they received
from the father that begat and the mother that nursed
Them that il was ell right; AMI - many OF them have
grown up the light OF true liberty never having entered
their minds. They are meny Of them believe, as sin

infamous scheme. That man ought to be met, the
first time he comes 10 New-YOrk, with that
same sort of preparation By which certain deter
mred tories were met in the days OF the reyolal0n-wh
rail ard good coat of tar and feathers. Laughter ard
cheers That would not hurt the man do any material
injury to his person but putting an nGeii0e disgrace
uon him. carving him dozen rods and then dsnIssng
him to clean himsefas far as possible to clean such
being great lsughter would give him lesson that he
would forget. But the question recurs Nhlt
shall be done Now say, IN the hrst instance an re-
ioiced 10 perceive that these resolutions have partially
done that thing but they have not done with sufficient
funesshat the citizens of New York should first render
their grateful tribute the resoute and determined men
of the House OF Representatives who have for the mo-
nen eied Mr. RoH,RDsOS, so that the Nebraska bill IL
not yet passed. though he said should pass before this
time [Cheers.l They have well begun the battle and
defeated him thus far though they are minority though
the revenues of the United Satesshame on it that it
should be sO-have been used TO induce members who
gave better promise when this question first came before
Congress to sell thsr principles, to cell the honor
of their State and the birhright OF treemen
Such nfamy must not go unrebuked lCheers.l
But while many have been induced 70 depart from the
course OF action they first adopted members have stood
firm ard have thus far defeated the schemes OF the enc
mics of freedom. Now then let voice 20 from tins meet
ING those members who ere resolved TO do all they can
to accomplish this glorious object ard exhOr them by all
that is dear TO liberty to stand up till the last to form
themselves into cohorts keep up the sinss and keep
calling the yeas and nays upon unnporant questions until
the session ends, their enemies are defeated Creot
cheering But before they resort TO this means lei
them say 10 the advocates Of the bill let the question
abe submitted another Congress yet to be chosen under
the administration of Franklin Pierce, with Senate
known be favorable to IT, and You succeed after
the issue has been brought before the people, aud they
g. have sent their Representatives to Congress upon IT,
then We win cheerfuv acduiesce in the measure for
one declare that will submit the voice of the majority
when fairly given These traitors know that the people are
against thom that unless they enact this law Il will be
impossible pass it hereafter They expect to hold the
Senate for several years to come, and they know It VIII
require during oil that time 10 House
that will sut their purpose. The proper
way for Representatives to meet this question II the
House that law will be connect it with the Appro
pration bill and say by rreversable vote that tls
Nebraska repeating act that they insist upon passing
shall be repealed, this Government goes no further
lCheers. That is the proper mode or it will be soon.
lGreat cheering That is the course that may have 10
be pursued, although may be avoided if they will submit
the question to the people This question which, on
account of its magnitude and Importance should never be
passed bur by consulting the people In seventy years
from this time Nebraska and Kansas will be covered with
fifty millions Of people. Shall lay the foundation
