Mr. Pratt, (whig,) of Md, said if the object of the Serator really wes to give the people fall power, why did be not insert in his amendment after the word pro hibit, the worés " or introcuse?’ {t would then leave them the power to do eith ’ Jonus, (whig) of Teon.. aeid the Sepator either sought to perfec’ tha bill or emberrasa it. If the awent- ment was edeptes, would the Senator vote for it? Tae Senator refered te arrwer. It wes clearly an attempt to embarrass the bill, snd the frierds of the measure ought to vote it and al! others down. Mr. C1 id be could not vote for the hill but he had the right to move emendments whieh, if aCopted, would render it less objectionable. He did not believe ibe pecple cf the Territories could conetitationally iutro- Cuce slavery, but he Cerired them to have the power to protect themeeivos from it He had numerous other gimendmerts to offer to the bill. Mr. Bancen, (whig) of N C—The effect and odject of the amendment was to deprive it of one-half of ita force. It was to limit the power of the Foagl to the prohibition of slavery. Why would not the Senator agree to cive them the power to introduce #8 well as to prohibii? He raid he would epeak to morrow at length on the bill, and in its favor Mr. Bnowy, (dem.) of Miss, raid he weuld ask for ten minutes at some time upon this polat. He was one of thore who did not believe the propls of the Territories had apy right to legislate to th Kr Cass, (dem,) of Mich., said the amend nent pre- sented an important question, which would have to be ret. It wes the power of. the people to legislate for themvelves. This bill gave them that power fally, pro- vided the constitution allowed it. If the covstitution did not allow it, then the power given by the bill was nugs- ter Mr. Borime, (dem ) of 8, C., eald that if Congress had Bo power to Jegisla‘eon this subject, as he believed it had not, then the peeple of tne Territories could have no de rivetive power un ier any act of Congress, Mr. Cass—I differ from you in toto. Mr. Waurae said be was oppored to the nqualified veto which this bill gives to the Governor of the Territory. Mr Dovorss, (dem ) of L1., emid that taat matter would be aitended to hereafter.
