OF the speeches we cannot make room Tor more
than the following extract from that OF Mr. Oid-
diDgs:
II fine Missouri Compromise, excluding Slavery
from inc Northwest worked like charm. The en-
fire West sprang up az by enchantment into giganc
empire. When was such miracle ever seen before
In s5 there was not civilized haoilaton In the great
Northwest, west of the Ohio River. 1t was an I'M.
broken wilderness Now there are carved out of that
territory FIVE great States richer in all the elements Oh
national grandeur than any despotsm 10 al Europe
But there came a change over the spirit oil Tue drea
