The Mormon Territory of Deseret has formed
Constitution and got up memorial applying for ad-
mission as State The Constitution is said to be
brief, plain and contains nothing about slavery. It
announces free liberation for all religions.
The House Committee on Territories has reported
proposition for the admission of Kansas as State,
of course with view of making free State of it.
The plan reported by Judge Douglas, Of the Senate
Committee, is the proper one: That as soon as
Kansas has the proper number of inhabitants to
entitle her to representative in Congress-ninety
four thousand-a convention shall then be legally
called to form Constitution, and fthe Constitution
SO formed contains no provision opposed to the Con-
sttution of the United States or republican form of
government she shall be admitted.

Mr.. Everett-Did not Mr. Clay draw up that pro-
vision?
Mr. Badger-I do not know. think recollect
hearing Mr. Clay once this floor say, in substance,
that he laughed in his sleeve at the idea that people
were SO easily satisfied.
Mr.. Butler-I beard him say It.
Mr.. Badger.-Now, Mr.. President propose to
come to the inquiry whether the principle of the
legislation of 1920 has not been in fact departed
from, overturned, and repudiated. First, sir, call
your attention to an amendment moved in the Sen.
ate to the bill to establish the territorial government
Of Oregon. By reference to the journal of August
10th, ls4s, it will be seen {:
"On motion by Mr.. Douglas to amend the BILL section

the line Of 36 deg 80 min of north latitude known
as the Missouri compromise line defined by the eighth

tended to compromise and ADJUST the question be-
tween the different portions of the Union then and
forever.
Am right in this? think So There is moth
ing in the act of Congress, there is nothing that
know of in the contemporary discussions in either
of the Houses of Congress upon the subject, which
goes to show that the two Houses considered that
there something particular in regard to the ter
ritory coded by France and that what would be
right with regard to that would be wrong with re-
gard to territory which might be coded by another
power. But then we have the Texan annexation
commentary upon it. When Texas came into the
Union, the Missouri compromise line was taken up
and extended through her, as a matter of course;
and, as 1.-THE Missouri compromise line" under that
name, as compromise line, just as applicable in
principle to Texas as to the particular territory to
which 1t had been originally applied The first
an act OF legislation Of course, it would govern
nothing except what we had. The second was an
act OF legislation. 1t took up and applied the rule,
which was introduced into the first act, under the
name OF the Missouri compromise lne," and ap-
pgu IL 70 the new territory, as matter of course.
10 my understanding, it is clear that when the
missouri compromise line was established it was in
| tended to apply to all the territory of the United
States. If we had had other territory acquired
from Spain, or conquered from Mexico or ceded by
Mexico at thattme, this line would, Of course have
been extended to it. think it is demonstrable-
from the grounds of dctation and resistance on the
one sde and the other from the terms in which this
contest issued from the of the case and from
the subsequent legislation of Congress- for which no
reason under Heaven can be given except that they
were carrying out an established principle-that the
principle OF legislation embodied in the Missouri
compromise was this: That line in the territories
should be selected, and slavery excluded on the one
SIDE, and lmPliedly allowed on the other; and that

Tue SUBJECT Oh slavery.
1t is supposed, by gentlemen on both sides of the
Chamber, that the amendment made Yesterday on
the motion of the honorable Senator from Illinois
gives entirely Objectionable character to the bill.
and we invoked to refuse to give it our sanction
because it involves violation of the pghted faith
of the nation 1t is said that this provision is re.
peal of the Missouri COMPROMISED that to repeal the
Missouri compromise is to violate common under.
standing by which the different portions of this
country became bound to each other thirty years
ago; and that, therefore, cannot adopt that pro-
vision consistently with the principles of good faith
If that were so, for one say, without hesitation,
that nothing can be compensation to US for the vi
oation of the principles of good faith but then we
have to consider whether any such violation is in
voved in the BILL propose to show that it is not
and that the language of the amendment, as incor.
porated into the bill, is true in fact and that the
consequence deduced from it in the particular pro.
vision, is just consequence and that the declara.
and void is the appropriate method and language
which should be used for the purpose of producing
the effect designed by this measure.
It becomes necessary in order that I should do
this to recall the attention of the Senate somewhat
to the nature and history of the Missouri compro.
mise.
Sir, the nature of that compromise has been.
think, signally misunderstood. 1t is act Of leg.

John G. Breckenridge.

A correspondent of the New York Jour
nal Of Commerce writes to correct some
mistatements with regardto John c. Brock
inridge, the Vice President elect, and gives
the following biographical sketch:
Major Breckinridge's father, the late Jo-
seph Cabell Breckenridge, most eminent
citizen of Kentucky, died at an early age, in
1928, leaving his only son John, an infant
not quite three years old; leaving several
daughters and young widow, who was a
daughter of DR.. Samuel Stanhope Smith, of
New Jersey, grand daughter of DR.. John
Witherspoon, Of Revolutionary memory,
and q lneal descendant Of the great John
Knox, the Scotch Reformer. From the
death of his father, till he graduated at the
college of Danvile, under the care Of his
brother-in-law, DIR. John c. Young, then
and now President of that College-which
he did when about seventeen years old-he
was supported by his fathers MOTHER
That venerable lady, now nearly 80 years
of age, was left a widow in early life by
the death Of that John Breckenridge who
was so distinguished leader Of the old
Democratic party in the days of Adams and
Jefferson. and has devoted all her subse-
quent life and ample fortune 10 acts of gen.
crosby, and TO her children and their pos
terity-having lived to bless four genera
tiods of them.
!. As soon as Major Breckenridge quit col
lege he commenced the study of law with
Judge VIM. Owsley; and it was this gen.
tlemaD who afterwards, as Governor of
Kentucky, gave him the commission of Ma
jor in one Of the Kentucky regiments which
went to Mexico, an extraordinary mark of
personal confidence, as was thought at the
time, fully sustained by the young mans
conduct in the army. Before he was of
full age, or about that time, he and Thomas
w. Bullock, Esq, a native of Kentucky,
and now lawyer of Lexington, in that
State, commenced the practice of the law
at Burlington, Iowa; whence, after year
or two, both Of them returned TO Kentucky,
and Major Breckenridge married Miss
Burch, of Scott county, 60 lady of moder-
ale fortune but great excellence and set
tied in the county town of that county,
(Georgetown,) in the practice of the law.
Not long afterwards he removed to Lexing-
ton, where, l believe he was born, and
where he has resided for ten or twelve years
past. He was elected twice to the Legis-
lature of Kentucky, twice to Congress, and
now Vice President. He is a lawyer in
full practice; about SO years old; possessed
Of moderate, perhaps hardly competent for
tune, considering his public position, and is
the father OF five or six young children
This is just the unvarnished truth of the
career of Major B. from his birth till thi.
day.
