II IS said, by way Of for what is about to be
the North The senator from South Carolina Mr.. Bur-
LER declared and did The senator from North Caro-
lima, Mr. BApGyn. How / When2 Wherei BY what
has the Morn violated the Missouri Compromised Was
not Arkansas admitted slave State Have Florida
and Texas beer admitted slave States though they
in the compact Has any State south Of SO deg 30
mn applied r and been refused admission into the Unoni
No, the North has kept her faith. She he's redeemed
| her pledge to he very letter.
Blu, northern senator's and representatives voted
4 ri Ark Opd M
promise measures of 1885, and insisted the application
Of the Wno proviso the Territories of New Mexico and
Utah But what of this' There obligation yo-
lated it WIS not in the bond that individual members
should not rumble when territory acquired for
the purposed creating slave States By the compro-
mise Of 1920 the North bound herself by implied obli-
galion, that Ill territory south of 36 deg 80 min should
into tn Union slave States and has kept
faith ~By 10 same compromise the South bound hcnelf
by an expires obligation that all territory north OF this line
should be qevcr free but she aborng break the
faith whchshc had pledged and that too after she has
azed the Eneh Of all the stpuations made in her favor
and Tiers besides State after State south of Sc deg
80 min ha been admitted and in none OF them has sa-
very been 7rohbited Territory which the Missouri
Compromls did operate has been acquired formed into
States and brought into the Union. Florida ard Texas
have been Omitted slave States but still the South is
not content and unjust enough charge the North
/ with yoluon of the Missouri Compromise. Aiming at
Its total repe she nevertheless bames the North for having
acknowledgements when slave States have presented
themselves pr admission into the Union!
But Mr. RESIDENT is the conduct of the South, in this
/
extract the from the eye of the North had she
better the beam from her owni And before she
charges the North with breach of the COMPROMISE, a
breach who, at most consists dissatisfaction
casionay oppressed by northern members the adms-
sion Of slay States ought she desst from the CT
fort she is DIV making TO repeal altogether Does the
South thinkthe North will charge which

II Mr. BRODHEAD. Will my colleague permit me
intrrupthim for moment understand he will not be
here Tomorrow when shall reply his remarks; and
therefor wish ask him to-day why, il he regards the

sion thatmy colleague voted against the Missouri Com
promise on every occasion, whilst he voted for the Will
mot proriso had hoped that northern wing would
have go,c for this bill, and hoped that that one would
have been my respected colleague.
Mr. COOPER. The question proposed by my colleague
easily answered One why did not vote to ex
tend the Missouri Compromise 10 tho Pacific was that the
commc Of thirteen had reported series OF measures
which De majority Of that committee desired TO carry
that thscompromisc only applicable TO the territory "a
which twas applied the time was adopted and not g
terory acquired subsequently, But without recurring u
the have given for not voting TO extend the Ms
sourC mproise line the Pacific, my colleague will see
trust hat there is some difference between voting agans
the repea OF law applicable TO subject and voting N
favor of extending 1T 70 another As to my colleagues ref
