California having agreed upon a constitution excluding slave- * wae admitted with her extensive boundariea far below the compromise line, Congress thus not only recognizing the right of her people to etching act for themselves, but sanctioning what they had volunteered to do. ‘Who does not see that in passing the Kansas and Nebraska bill @ongress is merely continuing, in | 1864, the policy commenced in 1850? The country eerorel at policy. Whigs and democrats alike endorsed it, and treated it as a finality. And why? because they found its legislation, as ap- plied to the Territories, just and expedient. What was and expedient in regard to Utah and New Mexico then must surely be quite as dient in regard to Kansas and Nebraska now. What was done in 1850 was at the time under- stood to be a final adjustment of all the old sectional issues between the North and South. It was in- tended to establish fixed principles for the settle- ment of all of them. The men who approved of it, or acquiesced init, were equally bound by that ap- pedir or, acquiescence to stand by and maintain what Congress did in 1850 in regard to Utah, New Mexico, and California, and to sustain the same sort of legislation in regard to Territories to be organized hereafter.’ It would be a strange approval of the legislation of 1850, which should improve the first ae and expe- opportunity in Congress to vote down the great principles settled by that legislation. one ve politicians who talk about the “finality” e mise, as if, being s finality, it must no longer be treated as a living thing—as if because it ‘was designed asa final adjustment, it could not here- after be applied to the adjustment of anything—as ifasa y, it must, forsooth, be construed to have made an end, not of old sectional discords for the settlement of which it established a principle, but | simply of itself. The same class of questions which were finally settled as to one Territory, being revived as to another, would seem naturally enough to come urder the same rule of adjustment. But no: the compromise of 1850 was a final adjustment, and therefore, as to the future, adjusts nothing. 1 believe in no such reasoning. A clear, rational, general rule in relation to slavery in the Territories, results from the legislation of 1850. The true friends of the compromise approve of that rule. They do not regard ca. —_ saat ‘but as eee rative. principle ceful adjustment for the fhture, as it has teen for the past. Iregard the compromise of 1850 asa finality— not on the groun’ “ted, but because everlasting erpies “are Embodied in it, which are to “ ope- rate unspent,” until there is an end, a finality, to the local questions and controversies to which those principles apply. Small, indeed, would have been our cause of re- paar over the glorious settlement of 1850 if a few special objects only were embraced in it, and it had shebiea no equitable rule for the settlement of fu- re controversies. This narrow view of the legis- lation of 1860 is contrary to the dictates of common sense. It was not on account of Utah, New Mexico, or golden California, even, that the land rejoiced. It because North and South, after twenty years of fierce contention, dangerous to the country and — to its best interests, had found out a plat- upon which they could stand together. It was because they had not only settled old controversies, but estal just principles, by the observance of which new controversies should be prevented. [Correspondence of the Charleston Standard.)
