that had either repealed had laid the foundation
for repeating the restriction of 1920 by the compromises

The bill was sent to the Senate and fell into the hands
of the honorable chairman and he reported it back to
the body with the recommendation that it should pass
without amendment. He strenuous in his efforts to
bring to the consideration Of the Senate and secure
its passage. He then addressed the Senate at length
and said that it was an act very dear to his heart 1t

Not word did the Senator sly about the wonderful
workings Of the of 1850 in subverson of the
9th section. He tells that the bill underwent tho
rough investigation, both in the House and by his COM
mittee and he then to have made discovery Of

do not envy the position in which these facts place
the honorable chairman. Did he suppose in 1850 that
we were subverting the 9Th section laying the oun

fearful responsibilities under the deluson that the terri
