nrst one and new within itself In that light IL was
treated on solemn occasion, by President Polk In
ms message approving the Oregon Territorial Act in ls4s
the last year OF his ADMINISTRATION and which act pro
hbite Slavery in Oegon-he took occasion 10 refer 70 h
Texas Compromise, and present it a. an independent
measure growing out of the circumstances and the
same spirit which had produced the Missouri Compromis
and like ~ not TO be violated without endangerng the
Union. In that message he said
when Texas was admitted into our Union the same
spirit OF compromise which guided our predecessors In
the admission OF Missouri quarter OF century before
prevailed without any serious opposition The Joint Res
oiuhon tor annexng Texas the United States approy
ed March ], ls+5 provides That such States as NAV be-
formed out OF that portion of said Territory living south OF
SO 80 north latitude, commonly known az the Missouri
Compromise line, shall be admitted To the Union with or
Sihout Slavery the people Of each State .skng ~.
mission may desire And IN such State States As shall
De formed ont of TIE Territory north OF the said Comma
mise line, slavery involuntary servtude Cexeept tor
crime shall be prohibited"
And he wing thus quoted the act and shown that the
Texas Compromise. like its great predecessor als settled
great Slavery agitation, M Polk goes on to class the
two compromises together to invoke equal perpetuy to
each, and TO iorete equal dangers to the Union from the
violation OF either-saying:
Ought We TO disturb the Missouri and Texas Cam
promises! Ought at this late day. in attempting TO
ahhu What has been 80 long established and acquesced
