Mr.. Chase moved 10 amend the section as
it now stood, by adding thereto the follow
ing words ''under which the people of the
territories through their appropriate rep
resentatives, may, if they see fit, prohibit
slavery therein"
Mr.. Chase said the bill was avowedly
based on the principle Of leaving the ques-
tion to the people to decide for themselves.
He desired now to provide, that there might
be no difference hereafter as to the meaning
of the bill, that the people had the power
to protect themselves from slavery.
Mr.. Pratt said if the object of the Sena-
tor really was to give the people full pow
ers, why did he not insert after the word
prohibit, ''or introduce?n It would thus
leave them the power TO do either.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, said the Sena-
tor either sought TO perfect the bill or en-
barrass it. If the amendment was adopted
would the Senator vote for it? The Sena-
ator refused to answer. 1t was clearly an
attempt to embarrass the bill, and the friends
Of the measure ought to vote it and all 9th.
ers down.
Mr.. Chase said he could not vote for the
bill but he had the right TO move amend
ments, which if adopted, would render i
less Objectionable. He did not believe the
people of the territories could constitution
ally introduce slavery, but he desired then
TO have the power to protect Themselves
from it. He had numerous other amend
ments to offer TO it.
Mr.. Badger said the effect and object o
the amendment was to deprive it of on
+ half its force. It was to limit the power Q
the people to the prohibition of slavery
Why would not the Senator agree to Civ
them the power TO introduce as we'll as pro
hibit slavery? He said he would speak 10

Ny. Brown said he would ask for te
} minutes at some tune upon this point. II
was one of those who did not believe tn
people of the Territories had any right t

0 Mr.. Cass said the amendment presentc
, an important question, which would have t
e be met. 1t was the power of the people t
f legislate for themselves. This bill gay
them the power, fully-provided the Coz
stitution allowed it. If the constitution di
not allow it, then the power given by ii
e bill was nugatory.

JoHy VAY Bunls, Esq New York;

TIE NEBRASKA DILL.-The northern
papers are raising mighty outcry about
the violation of the sacred Missouri com
promise, as proposed by the Nebraska bill.
These same papers had none Of this rever-
ence for the sanotity Of compromises when
they disregarded The spirit of the Missouri
compromise in the case Of California, and
they have manifested none of it in dealing
with the compromise of 1850. II fact,
most of them repudiated and spat upon that
compromise, and even to the present day
deny it all binding force. They are, there
fore, condemned out of their own mouths.
But the compromise OF 1850 was 'final
settlement, in principle and substance" of
the whole subject of slavery by Congress.
1t was SO understood by the whole country.
1t was supported on the one side in that
cOnv ction, and opposed on the other. If it
did moi in words, it did in substance annu
any conflicting law on the stetute-book.
We have no disposition to reopen tho
discussion of the slavery question. We are
sick and disguised with it. But when
question is presented directly involving the
equal rights of the Southern States under
the Constitution, we have TO hesitation as to
our course. We may distrust the motives
oi those who start the question, and des-
pise their professions of patriotism; but that
will not dispose us TO submit TO injustice.
The Southern States have an equal right
with the North TO all the territories of the
Union, and we would maintain it on every
proper occasion. There is nothing in the
social or moral organization of the hireling
States which entities them to a superiority
over us. We don't want war of word,
about it, but the thing itself we viii noller Z
render Richmond Wing. Nm

NO. L.

and such l am sure is the general sentiment
of the south. We want nothing but to be
let alone; we do not expect or desire that
the people Of The north should fall in love
with slavery. We believe the institution
to be q good one, you think differently; let
each enjoy his own opinion, and refrain from
any interference with the rights or pre-
iudices of the other The sentiments which
you have heard me express on the stump are
not mine only, but those of the southern
people, almost without exception. Agitation
in any form is what we object to, and the
politician who terminates asubject which
we fondly hoped was buried forever mis-
calculates sadly if he expects to be received
with favor by us.
All that I considered necessary in the Nc
braska bill was that i. should he an exact
copy of the New Mexico bill, except, of
course, the name and description Of bcunda-
ries. You are aware that am fully COM
mitted against the doctrines Of Gen. Cass'
Nicholson letter, yet we both voted cheer
fully for the New Mexico bill. 1t seems
TO be common ground, upon which dll re-
asonable men might stand It eft the sub
ject Of slavery where the constitution left it
and did not invade the province of the
courts 10 decide in advance what that con-
stitution meant.
am too much engaged with professional
duties TO pay much attention to politics, but
+ I have seen enough 10 be certain that the
I Nebraska bill, as reported by Mr.. Douglas,
will pass, and Think can forcsee the con-
sequences. That they will be anything but
agreeable seems too clear to admit of doubt
A hoodgate will be opened, and torrent
turned loose uron the country, which will
sweep away in its devastating course every
vestige Of the compromise of 1880. do
not speake of its immediate effects; look be-
yOnd. For the present it may be looked up
on at the South as boon, and by portion
of the North as a triumph over fanaticism
