Of he alayaxy question by taking II 0ut
/ Of that great rule Of self-gog sTamaas
Rhish applies 10 sll she other relations
Of liIa.m The very first proposition in
the Aahfazka bill wAa 70 show that the
Missouri Fastriasipns prohibiting the
peOple from dseidsng the slayaFy ques-
I siof fsE thSmselvass constituted aasex-

/ the principle OF self government, and
hence, thai sxssption should be re-
pealal, and the slavery question, like
all othag questions, submitted to the
people, 10 be decided for themselves.
SIR, that was she principle o. which
ths Nebraska bill was defended BIZ its
trends. IRStsad Of making the slavery
quesEiaB ap axeeRtIon, II removed an
odious exception which before existed.
Its whole object was to sbolish that
odious sxeeptioa, and make she rule
general, universal 10 ils application TO
all matters which vets local and l0mes"
sic, and not national OF fsaeFal For
this reason vas the language employed
which tae President has quoted, that Ehs
eighth section Of the Missouri act, COM
monty called the Missouri Compromise,
was repealed because it vas repngnant
to the principle Of non-inservention es.
tablighed By she compromise measures
Of 1850, 'sit being the true iaient aud
meaning Of this act MOTTO iegislate sla-
very iuso any Territory or Stats nor 20
exclude ~ therefEom, but 80 leave the
people thereof perfectly free TO form
and regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way, subject only 10 the
Constitution Of the United States.2 We
repealad the Missouri restriction be-
cause that #a4 confined 10 slavery. That
was the only exception there was to the
general principle Of self-g0TernneR:.-
That exception was taken away fJr tha
avowsd and express purpose OF tasklHg
the rule Of self government general ami
universal, SO that the people should form
and regulate all their domestic instItu.
tions in their own way.
Sir, what would this boasIed principle
Of popular soysT ignEy have bsRa worth,
fTt applled only 10 the negro, and did
not extend to the white mau DO you
think we could have aroused the symPa-
thies and she pasriotism Of this broad
Republic, and have carried the PsesI-
Dental election last year ia tho face Ct
q tremendous opposition, on the PrineI-
pie OF extending the right Of salf-g0T'
erument 30 the negro question, but deny
ing il as 10 all the relations affecting
white men, No, sir. We aroused The
patrlouam Of the country AMI carried
the election ia defence Of that great
principle, which allowed a. white men
