The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1867-01-19

| my friend from Wisconsin will but look over
| the record that have made in the Thirty
| Eighth and ThirtyNinth Congress he will
| not, feel assured, charge me with any de-
sire to impede the triumphant march of the
| pioneer. Ga the contrary, no measures that
| have sustained have given ,he more pleas
ure, either at the time or upon subsequent
reflection, than those to encourage the for
nation and to receganizc the existence Of the
new States Of the great West; and care
rot how soon that section may SO far increase
| in population and strength as to be able to
outnumber with her representatives all the

Nebraska He asserts that all men Of what

apply that principle TO all the remaining
, Territories and to require that all of them
shall make it a cardinal provision in their

new constitution before admitting her into
the Union. She has already complied in
the terms Of her constitution, with every
| stipulation Of Cur enabling act, as she in
terprcted it. The Senator from Massachus
| cts has said that in the enabling act Con
gress declared that Nebraska should conform
to the principles of the Declaration Of hide
pendence. | admit it; but | ask him in all
candor whether At the time those words were
inserted in the enabling act he contenled,
or cta intimated, that they imposed US a
condition precedent 10 the admission of the
State that black men should be allowed to
vote. DID the Senator give any such init
