In the repub an platform, which believe the gentle

very cassed together and denounced twin relics OF
barbarism Washington Jefferson, and Madison who aid

world the great principles which lie at the foundation Of
our government Shareholders and Shareholders until
their death; and the members of the republican party who
stand up aud declare slavery the relic OF barbars The
twin-sster Of poygamy and deny that our government
was made for white men have the boldness 10 the free
Stltes 10 claim nationality OF principles and organization
while asssog the institutions of one half Of the Union,
the memories OF its greatest men, and denouncng them as

If Understand the doctrine of the republican party they
hold that slavery exists only By reason of positive law
that soon slave touches free territory he becomes
free If So why the necessity OF Missouri restriction
do not wonder that southern democrats and FIJI
tenacious of their rghts. They have Sl5000
gered by fanatics in the North Suppose the northern
tories threaeud with destruction this party now

not northern defend this invasion of their rights?
The southern claims the right carry his property
to the Territories under the constitution II he is right
then the Missouri restriction was unconstitutional. So
that whether survey this question from the northern
standpoint the southern the controversy amounts to
| nothing. z. \. . .... ..s,... .....,.

DECEMBER IL, ls56--Dsbate continued.
Mr. ORR. had intended to have participated in
this debate lest pat the OF tbs President had
been referred to the Committee OF the Whole he state
OF the Union and ordered be printed. This debate in
the House is unususl and therefore the very day
which opened voted to sustn the demsnd Tor the
vous question on the motion TO refer. am only induced
TO say anything In consequences of what has fallen
from my distinguished friend on Kentucky, Mr. H. MAR
sHALL4l who has just taken his seat Before comuienee
however, would like to inquire of my honorable friend
from Kentucky whether If he had been member OF the
st Congress- he would have voted for the passage of the
Kansas aud Nebraska bill !?
Mr. H. MARSHALL Does the gentleman want me to
answer
Mr.. ORR Certainly not
Mr.. II. MARSHALL will say this in reply to the
slavery with the southern construction of the Kansas
and Nebraska BILL would have voted for IL; with the
northern construction would not have voted for it,
/ Mr. ORR Every gentleman who occupied seat in this
nall when that bill came 10 be passed upon had 10 deter
mine for himself what construction 1t susceptible Of
Now, desire to know Of the gentleman from Kentucky
whether IL be had then been member OF the House, what
construction he would have given II, and whether upon
that construction he would have voted for agaust 2
Mr.. H. MARSHALL If the gentleman wants me to con-
srne the bill, | will do it,
Mr.. ORR | would like to have the gentleman answer
| the question TO make Ii ineligible.
| Mr.. II. MARSHALL am like the democrats 1t seems
| that cannot make myself ineligible But viii explain
In my opinion, The nineteenth clause believe IL i OF the
Nebraska bill contains guarantee that the States to be
formed out of the Territory shall be admitted with
without slavery the constitution of such Stale shall IL
self determine That regard as conclusive and sufficient
| on the subject.
In regard 10 the proyiso contained In the
se5tion " bad been here should have done the gen
tleman from Tennessee from the Nashville district Mr.
Z1LooFFKn did, aud good many other old wings DID;
should have construed that prOvso consiseat with
the express guarantee In the ninettehlh section and
therefore with this construction should have voted for
the bill But when fnd distinguished of the demo-
cratic party attempting 10 gyea subsequent construction
TO the BILL and destroy the guarantee thus given by intro
duciug the and dubious principle of sqnatter
ereignyI say, that IL that is TO be ,he construction
Of that b place my foot right there, aud against
| the Nebraska bill
Mr.. ORR The gentleman has not answered my ques-
| ton yet
| Mr. H. MARSHALL Then cannot.
Mr. ORR 1 hope the gentleman will answer my ques-
4 ton, either one way the other. IL is matter OF
consequence so far as the point at which wish arrive
concerned what constructions may have subsequently,
been given Every member of the House, the time OF
the passage of the Nebraska BILL construed for himself
and ask the gentleman from Kentucky whether with the
construction he would have given H. he would have voted
! for it7
Mr. H. MARSHALL. rf Il docs not carry with II the
power Of the people Of the Territories exclude slavery
before The time tor their admission States would have
voted for the bill. II II does, would have voted against
1t and should have ascerained certainly which ground
taken before ! voted,
Mr. ORR The gentleman from Kentucky has ability
and experience enough know that when he q mem-
Der Of this House vote he docs IL according the
convictions OF his own judgment and conscience and
from the constructions which subsequent Congresses and
subsequent parties may give 10 the under copsde
ration But viii put the question to tho gentleman from
Kentucky in another form. Would tho gentleman vote
now 10 repeal the Nebraska bill
Mr.. III. MARSHALL. | will answer the gentleman in
this way guided by the attempts that being made BY
the northern democracy 10 consrue the bill way and
of the extreme southern democracy the bill in
repeal that clause of the bill upon which the differ
ence Of opinion arises.
