I should have moved its rejection at the first reading. But the bill before us—for the two may be considered as one—does not come from that quar- ter. It comes from a free State, and under the adminis. tration of a President elected froma free Stato; and un- der that aspect of its origin I decmed it right to wait and hear what the members of the free States had to say to it. It was @ proposition from their own ranks to give up their half of the slavery compromise of 1820, and if they chose to do so, I did not see how the Southern members could refuse to accept it.
