? sVsisrrlliitinuts JOruiG. We have at length foin-l 'iiiif fur some attention to the progress m.-nie in Oonjjivss upon the Nebraska question. Of the manner in whifth ill! * it?! <! i: til Ii-i < In itfhrl'l i::? :i:!.: i"~ ?> r1 one ol the principles involved i;i it, wo luvo already spoken. Mr. !.)<mio}.'i<5 had i!;o|^^r ? !i M a.day, dm . 30th;' in iiiMtiiin-iit of nBrpurpo ex'sv-s-o before, o[ explaining the nitwits <i the hoi. ' 'a . the the li);li ol Jan., however, an ! at the lime when the first postponement <?; this bill o.mured, ^Tr. ("hast' ji:i ! otliers had addressed a cir cnlar to their folhiw-cilifctMS at lite Nortli, denouncing that provision of the biii wireli excluded tiie sixth section of the .Mis-ouri Compromise from t!its teriitory, and assuming anions other tilings, that tin policy ofthefalii ers of tlie Republic w is to proh'hit slavery in 4 all the territory ceded i?y l!:.* u!J States t?> the Union. To this muiifesto t!ie speech of Jj.-natoi* Douglas is addressed. Sa !i. he says, was not the piaetice in t!:e emly history of tlie ^uvernittenr. It is tr i , tli.it i:i lite territory north, west of the Ohio ri'.vr slavorv was prohibited by the ordinance . f ]?s? ; hut it is also true that in the territory sm:t!i of the Ohio rivet, to wit, the territory of Tennessee, slavery was permitted :?pr?ife tod j ami it is a!s<> tsue that in tin'* organhH'im ?>f the tetritoiw ol missi-sippi. in 170S, the pr'WMous of tho ordinance of I7N7 \ve-? npp'i"<l t" it, with t'i exception of the ???.x'!i *irt ?-!??. which prohibited slavery. which exhibits that the light to hold slaves South was cle.irly recognized as was its prohibition North, ami this implies tin* intention to prescribe a line of division between slave and free Slates as near as possible, in accordance with natural laws. This line extends as far westward as our teivitrrw then reached ; the object being to avoid all agitation upon the slavery question by settling that question for ever, as far as our territory extended, which was then to the Mississippi river. When Louisiana was purchased, the ordi nance of 17S7 was extendid to it, ex ept the sixth section, which prohibited slavery. !>ut ?tr with respect to Missouii, they did not extend the ordinance of 17S7 to ifcal all. Tiiey lirst provided that it should he governed by laws made l>y the governor and tin*judges: and when in 1812, Congress gave to that teiiitory under the name of the tenitory of .Mi -to;;ii, si territorial government, the p.op'e were at lowed to do as they pleased upon the subj et of slavery, subject only to (.be limitations of the Constitution of the Hailed .States. S ave ?\t tit iic 1i\.' i ?>???!'< ?? I/, n i-i i <*/! !?i /.?/! Sli"*i 111 of the thirty third p-u-aile!; and, North oft hut, the people were left to exercise their ??\vit judgment atul do.as they phased upon tin- sishje-t. without any implication for or against the oxistenee of t!ic iiistiuliun. When Missouri was admitted into tin- Union, this same policy of a dividing line was lirst ox tended as far as our possessions then readied. This lino was further recognized in the act admitting Texas, the third article of ivhich is as follows: "New States, of convenient size, not exceeding four in number, in addilion to said State i of Texas, having sufficient population, may hereafter, by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under t!ie provision of the Federal Constitution. And such Stateas may be formed out of that portion ol said territory, lying South of ot> degrees 30 uiio ; utes, North latitude, cotuniouly known as the Missouri compromise line, shall he admitted into the Union, with or without slavery, as the people of each State asking admission mav desire. And in such State or Slates as shall li-- i formed out ol said territory, North of said .Missouii compromise line, slavery or iiivoiuu tary servitude (except fo; crime) shad he po Iiihitetl." So far the policy extended steadily to the West, until 1S-1S, when he (Mr. Dongh-i?) vo ' ted into a hiil a provision for extending the compromise through 1 and acquire.1 of Mexico. The measure passed the Senate, but failed in the Uouse, and there ?li- progress of tin principle of territorial division -topped. Then came tl:e tumbles; and, in IS."!) another line of policy was adopt, d. and then i: ; Was daterurncd that the people of the territories and of ail the States, were to In- allowed to do ns they pleased upon li:c subject ofsdavcl-y, subject only t" t:j?? provisions of the Conslitution of tlie I niled Sla'cs. That was the leading feature of tlio com- | promise measures of 1S5Q. Those, measures : therefore, abaudoried t!ie idea of a geographical linens the boundary between lice.State-, and slave States; abandoned it because compelled to (I i it from an iuabil'ty to maintain it; and, in li>-u of that, substituted a great ptim-iple of self-government, which would allow the pen| le t<? clo as thex th >u?!it proper, and this without regard l<? whether !!.' territory was old or now. It was not the sc'th-mei.t ?-f-ut ex isting ciifticui'V, but the* substitution fit a nev, and distinct line <>l r>? 1 i v with ref rence l<> the further extension of domestic slavery. That such ?as the eflcrt and pur- <><e of the compromise, is to found in i!i i t tt every man in either hgu-c, who was in i'.vn of the compromi e, is no w i:i favor of ti.i; I.!!!. If this bill does i of e.\j ress the sniiil of the compromise, it could not have the unanimous support of men who carried t'i>Hffea^i^^^ Effkct of tiii: NT::ii:.\sk\ movi:m;;.\t? .\l leading Democrat i.ov^in Wa: hingion, - \ - tin (lie New ?ci!\ (' iiitii'fI'cinl, a ; .( !
