up in opposition to the ground taken BY his COL
league. Mr. j. further argued that the Missouri
Compromise was virtually repealed by the bill for
the organization of the Territory of Mexico in 1850
and yet that bill received the vote of his colleague
He went on to discuss the the question of popular
sovereignty, and contended that all power was
derived from the people, Congress could possess no
power higher than that which the people had them
selves. They could give more than they possess
ed; and he replied with great force to the argument
that the people OF territory have right to form
government, but must come to Congress and pet-
tion for liberty so to do. Mr. j. inquired whether
his colleague would vote for the admission of Kan
sas into the Union under the LecomptOn constitution
nconsequence of those instructions or without them
Mr.. Bell replied that he would not in consequence
of any instructions of the legislature, unless he
should be convinced that those instructions were
founded upon full understanding of the subject in
all its bearings and consequences. The expressions
OF opinion by State legislature were always enti-
tied to certain degree of respect; and the great
question with him would be, will the admission of
Kansas give peace and quiet to the country not
He was deeply interested in that question. If it
would give peace, he was for it; and if not, he
against it firmly, now and forever. He thought the
speech of his colleague the strongest argument
against the admission of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Constitution that he had heard in this body.
Mr. johnson asked, in the name of common sense
What mode could be resOrted to TO ascertain the
wishes of the people of Tennessee if it had not
already been ascertained? The people had spoken
on the subject again and again. As to the re.
mdIh vi MS coueague that those resolutions were
an insult to him, he disclamed the part of those
who offered them any intention of that sort. He
proceeded to consider the subject of slavery in
philosophical point of view, necessary result of
the circumstances in which men placed, and
thelr various mental and physical organizations. and
drew contrast between the course of himself and
MS colleague on the questions affecting the rights
and institutions of the South. He hoped all would
agree, North and South, to have no more compro-
mses but to abide by the constitution: there never
could be a compromise without sacrifice of prnci-
pie and right.
Mr.. Bell rejoined, commenting in severe terms on
some portions of the remarks Of his colleague, and
yielded the floor with the understanding that he
should be allowed to conclude tomorrow.
& Mr. Green asked that by unanimous consent, the
Dill for the admission of Kansas into the Union
might be made the special order for one o'clock on
Thursday next He remarked that it would be well
to assign an early period for its consideration as
1t was an important subject

quently lost; whereupon
