mined intention on the part a the An,Slavery men
Of the North to defeat the object Of the Compromise Of
1870 He attributed this TO the lAstred Of the Rspub

az provided for in the Kansas Nebraska BIZ
MIR. GOODWIN N. VI, strongly condemned the
effort to force upon the people OF Kansas institutions
which they sbhor, and to plant Slavery there The
President and bis Cabinet, in thus doing were en-
geged in work OF fraud, violence and usurpston
and confirming the prediction Of the epposers Of the
Kansas Nebraska BILL the design Of which bill was to
plant Slavery in that Territory.
MIR. hlLLSON VA, who voted against the
kaDsas bratka bill, said that he could look back
upon the last four years it'll the feeling that he had
no responsibility for the disturbances in the country
The transfer OF the Slavery question to the people Of
the Territory produced these conyu lsOhs. The Gov
eminent Of the Territory the mere creature Of
Congress; it had sefe existent independent power
lie was opposed to squater sovereignty. The decara
ton Of the Supreme Court Of the unconstt utonaty of
the Missouri Compromise secured tie right to hold
slaves in the Territory, but the Kansas Nebraska bill
threw advertisements around the question. That bill
as a new compromise was wore than the Missouri
Compromise
