bread for him self and family, it was fit hat he
should sit speecbess by order in the balcony at the
Buchanan Ratification and hear Douglas berate all
the Barnburners tried to do after this fashion:
81 will show you that James Buchanan and myself
have occupied for years past, since came into
public life, precisely the position upon this Sav
cry question from the beginning to The end. Bear in
miro that in le45 Congress passed an act tor the an
nexaion of Texas to this Republic; and if you will
look at the journals OF Congress, you will hnd that
offered proposition to extend the Missouri Conpro-
mise line through Texas indefinitely as far as the Ter
rtory should extend. That act passed with that pro-
vision in it, and Mr.. Buchanan who was in Mr. Pok's
Cabinet at the time, approved Of it Applausel. In
the course of events, war between Mexico aud the
United States grew out of It, the justice Of which Mr..
Buchanan asserted a member OF Mr.. Folks Csbi.

and bis State rights, when 1t was made as an in

approved without twothirds vote, at a time when
the SavehOldng and Free States were exactly tied in
the Senate. Knowing that the object OF Mr.. Wllno
in offering the proposition to force US to an ingo
nous and ign0minOus peace with foreign power
resistedAt with all my might, and offered III lieu OF IL
amendment TO extend the Missouri COMPROMISE line
of SO deg. 30 min. 10 the Pacific ocean, in the same
sense and with the understanding with which II
was originally adopted. In October, lSi7, James Bu-
cbanan addressed letter to the Harvest Home cele'
bration Of Bucks county, Pennsyyaqia, in which he
urged the extension of that same line Of SO deg 80 mn
called the Missouri compromise to the Paclbc ocean
in the same manner as had proposed.

the same unde rstandine with which it Originally

Of Rtpest natives rejected that proposition by almost
a sectional vote-by Northera vores, composed Of
