Mr.. Douglas moved that the bill be taken up:
upon which motion the ayes and noes were call. !
ed for i
The vote being % against 2s, the Chair, Mr..
breckenridge, voted affirmatively, conseqaent- j
ly the bill was before the Senate. II
The pending motion was TrumbuIl's that tho
consideration be postponed until December :
next. Il
Mr. Fitzpatrick spoke in favor Of postponing t
IN hopes that an enabling act may be passed :
and a census taken. T Iii
Mr. Gmin, Of Cal, warmly urged fminedate {
admittance and referred to the poll book to show :
that Oregon has an ample population and is e
able 70 maintain State Government Refer j
ring to the clause in the Constitution prohibit b
ing Cinnamon from voting, Mr. Gwin defended t
II on the ground that the Chinese are pes,a e
lent, degraded, slavsh race, and that many Of q
them are slaves OF masters in China--they take d
away gold while contributing nothing TO in-
dustry of country in Caliiornia-their evidence !
Is not received in court of law--they are not I
citizens Of the United States, and Oregon has Z
done right a. regards both Chinese and negroes. 9
Mr.. Douglas replied, every step in the f0rma-
ton Of her constitution and application for ad-
mission was legally submitted and ratified by
majority of the people Of Oregon, why then a
should she nor be admitted? Simply. because (
she has not the required population. He be-
lieved that Oregon had more than Kansas He =
might not think she had 81, 900; but be did not a
believe she would not have it in December. II
would be better therefore to test the admission
by direct vote. For the motion to postpone n
to December is merely equivalent to keeping
her ont. He was opposed to drawing distnc- Q
tions between those two States Of Oregon and .
kansas--opposed to saying that one has right Z
TO come in without sufficient population and an /
enabling act, and that the other shall not. Or
egon has fulfilled every requirement spSoifed q
10 the Presdents message. She submitted Y
every stop Of that proposition to the people,
and had avoided every one Of the informaiities e
which we're urged % an important objection to d
the admission Of Kansas, and be was ready for y
the general rule which he had struggled for for p
years; that in future all new Ststes must have v
the required population, and to enforce thet q
rule strictly in all coming time. II is unjust to
the people Of Oregon to keep them in suspense, q
unaware OF the condition whether they are 10 Q

Ar. Trumbull argued that Kansas being ad-
mi'ted 70 pacify the notion, which was in civil
war, there was no reason why the rule should !,
be applied to Oregon.
Mr. Douglas replied II admission on eaey 2
terms was held out q reward OF rebellion,
Oregon couldresort TO that AZ well as any other. ,
Hut the Oreg0nians are = low abiding people.
and that very reason, il for no other, should 7
have the restriction removed. The important
interest Of the Pacific shore required more re.
presentation in Congress- p
Mr. Seward protested against making an ex-
csption Of Oregon dependent On another be-
tween II and Kansas. He war determined on Y
voting for its present admission apart from the
