Mr.DOU GI4AS said thai Tuesday last, when he de-
sired opn this discussion he had proposed to speak
about fifteen minutes, il explanation OF 80 points in this
bill These points first with respect to the Indians
end tie second that part relating to slaves. The
Committee in preparing the BILL desired to protect the
rights and titles OF the Indians from any infringement
lie thought this had been done BY the bill 1t
secured to the Indians all their rights, until such
time as they might hereafter by treaty agree IT, be ncor
rorated within the territory On the other point it was
the object and desire of the Committee be equally
pict They had taken the principles of the Compromise
acts Of their guide and had made each and every
provision Of this bill accord with those principles These
principles were based upon and recognized to us fullest
extent the great right Of the people 10 efgovernmen
anu leaving the people Of the Territories the privilege
Of governing Themselves free of al control except by
the Constitution of the United States and limited and re
stced upon particular subject by their position north
or south of any arbitrary geographical line. The recent
bill reported by the Committee had for it, object make
uncertainty In some places the first bill was
understood repeating the Missouri Compromise, and in
others not doing As this bill was intended by
tie Committee TO carry out fully the principles Of the
Compromise Of 1880 and they considered that Compro
mise had superseded the Missouri Compromise. that fact
had better be plainly and distinctly stated This all
lie had intended to say had the discussion gone last
