Of the Montana by that class OF persons
who were authorized organize the Territory OF Idaho
Mr. svssss Irep) q Mass asked what class q per-
Mr. MosRrL answered. thsy ci.xens Of the United
States aud such white nhaoitauts had declared
their intention become such. He understood II 70
mean white citizens. rue difference between tho two
houses was the Hohse allowed all free white males
n twenty years VOTE and the Senate restricted
that privilege to citizens OF the United states In order
10 secure the passage bin committees or the
" houses agreed to this new and after The
Territ organized the whole question OF suffrage
would rest with the Territorial authority.
MIR SUMNER said tho whole question OF suffrage before
the Senate was whether should adhere 10 that which
vas right or consent to that which wrong. He
hoped the Senate would adhere TO It's original pos ton
Mr. MORRILL, explained that this practical quas-

report o. the committee simply because he ana not oe
lievc there was necessity for any Territorial gov
eminent in thai portion or Idaho. the population was
not enough 70 ente them TO It, 10 was willing that
the subject should fail md to the next session
Mr. WADE, (rep1 or Ohio said that while he held az
settled principle that the black in republican
ernent like ours had the same inabc right to vote ms
. white man, he considered the original Senate amend
ment the mere shadow Of shade anda miserable abb
straction. 10 coald be deuded by the shadow
Of things There negroca In this Territory. and
there likely any. Whenever tho ques-
tion should be raised affect any rights white
oolored. hs should stand where always had stood.
Mr. Hale, (repl ON. H., differed from The Senator
izng the Northwestern Territory, to show thai our
fathers had wise foresight in providing NOT only Tor tho
present. but for tho future Of the Territories though
~
slave territory a. the time Of the passage the
there held by French Canadians and Others
Mr.. HALE replied that far as regards the condition
when its Territorial government was organized Was
wtderpese and We sat here week after week contend
Tte abstraction holding against the demand Of
Southern Senators that the prohibition Of slavery should
gust and refused their demand and il Senators since
that time had stood where We stood, 20 should
have bad 20 compromise in 1850, and no rebellion
for the new Territory would be tho policy ages

Mr.. AoKRnA reiterated that this bill would not disran-
chisc any account Of his color there

New HAMPSHIRE while favorng ths imprac,icable
sSS no e.
Mr.. HALE said the Senator mistaken. Mr. Morrill,
was the last man from whom he expected TO hear such
old whg 0octrine In the discussion on the Wilmot
written law Of God had decreed that slavery
re-snacs the laws Of Cod He r HALEY thought at the
time that that very made the practica-
country a. were then, and he should act upon them
according 70 tho light God gave him as they respectively
Mr. NsexnH, topp) OF Oregon hoped the Senate would
not concur with tho Senator from Now Hampshire and
allow the bill TO be lost BE had no particular interest
10 the subject far as the concerned but be
did take interest In the white people there, whom
DO supposed row numbered sixty to seventy thousand
mos4y engaged In mining pursuits The object OF the
bill 10 give good Rovornmont to this people, II
would also be TO the advantage Of the government
abng IL more eectually TO carry out its laws, and
peciaily to collect It's revenue TAX.
Mr. SUMNER bad no hesitation In saying that the prnc
than the passage Of the BIN II was proposed exclude
the African race from suffrage and the argument made
the old we'll slavery arguments onhe subject He
was opposed TO the nfrinGment OF human rights, and
especially In the formation Of now community.
