MISSOURI QUESTION.
Wednesday, January ID.
MR. MEI.LKN’S REMARKS
[cosoi.unr.n.]
Hot, Mr. President, we are informed
that In the Louisiana treaty there is an ar
ticle,by which Congress are forbidden to
tone* or impose Buy conditions on the ad
mission ol a state into the Union, compo
sed of a part of the territory ceded by that
treaty to the Upited Slates, even if they
cwuM be SnpnuneiTto possess the authority
claimed, if there had been no such article
in the treaty. This point deserves con
sideration. The thirst article in the trea
ty is in these worilsi
"The inhabitants of the ceded territory
Shall he incorporated into the Union of
tile United Stales, and admitted ns soon
as possible, according to the principles of
the Federal constitution, te the enjoyment
of all the rights, advantages, and immu
nities of citizens of the United States;
anil in the mean time shall lie maintained
and protected in the full enjoyment of
their liberty, property and the religion
which they profess.”
The latter branch of this article seems
to have no particular bearing mi die point
Onilcr immediate examination. What,
then, is the fair import of the main provi-
Soof the article? I’nunderstand IhisqueK-
tiun, we must see who are die parties tn
this compart: on the one side Fiance
the. other the United Slates. The treaty
related tt a portion of country purchased
by the Uiilod States, without the inter
vention if any individual state, or any
conncctim wiili their individual rights or
interests. The subject malterof the com
pact being wholly of a federal charge e?
the porchatc by thu federal government,
and for the use anti benefit of the United
Slate# exclusively, the first and natural
presiipiptisu is. that the stipulations tin the
part of the United States hail relation to
those subjects w^ich were under their im
mediate control—not that they' were de-
•ignetl tn embrace all kinds of'ditto regd-
latious; fof there is the same reason to
suppose Try were intended to embrace
aH. ns aiiy particiilar portion. Applying n y further
these principles and rules ofconstruction!
we are fond or ted to what peptba tn m«i it
br n f«Hp # rant>n«l, iTnil satisfactory inter
pretation. The inhabitants an* to he ad
mitted it to the Union according to the
federal Constitution. Those priuciples’re-
quire that their new government shall be
republican. The admission shall be by
tin act of Congress, passed and sanction
ed, as the Federal constitution requires;
ami when admitted, they shall be subject
to the laws ill (’ongress,‘in tin* saint* man
ner us the inhabitants of the existing states
of the Union.
this Senate, or of the people at large, still
those opinions have been honestly formed,
and are entertained with sincerity; they
are, therefore, entitled to respectful con
sideration, and, 1 doubt not, will receive
it.
In all parts of the United States; sla
very is admitted to be a Bore evil: an af
fliction to the country where it exists. On
this point no proof is necesswy: ami it
would seem to be a proposition, not ad
mitting of a denial, that we ought, on c-
vorv principle, to do all in our power to
prevent the extension of this evil, lievoml
its present limits, though we cannot ban
ish it from those states where it is already
too deeply rooted. As yet, the slave
population of Missouri is not numerous}
and the inhibition for which I am con
tending, would .soon render that popula
tion of little importance, compared with
the free white inhabitants, who, in the
course of a few years, would spread over
the state; cultivate its rich ami vnluable
lands; introduce and establish habits of
industry among all classes} ami give that
spring and si iiit of enterprise to tlie whole,
which freedom only can give: that splf*
interest which prompts to exertions; an
interest which a slave cannot feel; inti
whose labors, for flint very reason, are
spiritless; as they promise him nothing.
Mr. President, it should be remember
ed that we are not legislating for a year,
or for the period of our own lives; but
for centuries to come: not in respect to
Missouri, merely, but to that almost
boundless region beyond the Mississippi,
over which our dominion bow extends.
We are, then, by our decision, preparing
evils or blessings Ibr an extensive coun
try and for posterity.
Rot, sir, all the existing states have a
political interest in the present question,
which it is their duty to'guard. It is a
well known fact, that, in forming our
constitution a balmier was intended by
giving to tin* small states a representation
in the Senate equal to that of the larger
states, and settling the principle of ic-
presentation as it now stands in regard to
the mixed population of the -southern
states. This was intended and consider
ed as equality. The limits of the then U.
State* and their territories were known;
timl the operation of the principle, in re
spect to new states to he formed within
those limits, was understood and antici
pated. Rut this balance, this equality,
will be destroyed, should the same prin-
| cipie be extended beyond the Missio.Appi;
to an immense country, beyond the range
ever in the contemplation of the Conven
tion. Rut, without pursuing this idea a-
1 will here mftire an argument
which, ^on h former occasion, lias been
usen o»r admitting slaves into Missouri.
It is said, that, by diffusing them over
larger surface than they now occupy, and
transplanting them to this new country,
their condition will be essentially amelio
rated; and, if there be dangers arising
from their increase in the Atlantic state*,
the method proposed will lessen or remove
that danger. In answer to these reasons
let it be observed that there is sufficien
room in the states beyond the mountains
... . and on this side of the Mississippi, fo

proceed upon the principle assumed by the
opposers of the restriction, and permit the
vast country heyond the Misuigsinpi tot>e
peopled by xlaves, the market will be sup-
plied in a small proportion ohly, by th"
increase of the slave popuhition of the ex
isting states. No, sir; Africa will fur
nish mbst of those supplies; and, in deft
a nee or ovation of all our laws, the wretch
ed victims of cruel and unfeeling avarice
p.ii icuiar. In some states xlnverv is law- will be introduced by thousands and tens
fu ; in others unlawful. It would. «hn»a_ nfthousnudK, to darken this region, and
shall we Bay of war? Congress has deem
ed it necessary, and may deem it so again,
for the protection of our country’s rights
and honor; atill it is a melancholy truth,
that private losses and misfortunes are
the certain co. sequences, and countless
miseries are ever round in Its train. Alt
these, however, are deemed subordinate
considerations, in the midst of patriotic
feelings, or are forgotten in the prospect
of vindicated rights, success and glory.—
And, while we are admiring the laurels nf
the hern, we are unconscious that they
have been earned at the expence ofltlie
widow, the fatherless, and the broken
hearted, by the ruin of ail their hopes.
Rut, Mr. President, therein another ar
gument entitled to our respectful conside
ration, because it results from the course
of conduct which Congress hav pursued
since 1808, They passed laws prohibit
iug the importation of slaves, as soon as
the constitutional restriction on their pn
wer was removed by lapse of time: and
since then, there has been a laudable,
continued, and united exertion to put an
end to this infernal traffic, which the Pre
sident, in his message, has described as
disgrace to any civilized country. Laws
have been multiplied; penalties Increased
in severity; the utmost vigilance enjoined
or. the officers of the government and our
public armed ships employed to give effect
to these laws; and yet all iheac arrange
ments and exertions have proved ineffeq
tual. Avarice and cruelty are busily en
gaged, and their arts are still successful.
Slaves are still inhumanly hurried to our
shores and fraudently introduced into our
s‘ates or territories, notwithstanding all
our endeavors to prevent it: this bein
die notorious fact, what is to be done?-
Congress have repeatedly given to this
country, and to the world, pledges of their
anxious wish and their determination to
nit down this scandalous violation of their
aws. Let Congress, then, and our lasvs
consistent. There is one way, and
only one, in which we can accomplish
the noble object in view: it is our duty to
esort to it: shut up the .market complete-
v: prohibit slavery in all the states to he
formed beyond the Mississippi: and the
point will be soon gained. By removing
the cause, we shall prevent the effect: by
destroying the market, we can destroy the
trade. The inipftt ter of Slaves is actuated
by an insatiable thirst for gain: totally
regardless of all principle in accomplish
ing his designs. Let us meet him on Sis
own ground; destroy njl possibility of
profit, anil he will soon abandon his em
ployment; at least \ve shall have expelled
him from our shores, so that our own
counlry will no longer be the scene of his
abominations. Our wetiteen Htotoa, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Ala
bama, can be amply supplied with slaves
from those states bordering on the Atlan
tic: they need no supplies from abroad.—
As proof of this, 1 call the attention of the
Senate to the unanimous voice of Con
gress, on various occasions, prohibiting
the importation of slaves,: and the readi
ness with wlifcli these prohibitory laws
have been enacted. If further proof be
necessary, the increase of the slave po
pulation in the old states, as shewn by
the census, will remove all doubt on this
head. *
IN SENATE.
Tuesday, February 15.
Mr. Robert*, from the committee of
claims, reported a bill for the relief of
Bowie and Kurtz, and others; which was
rend.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Ruggles, was taken up and agreed to; and
The resolution offered by Mr. Dicker-
son, was postponed until to-morrow.
After disposing of several petitions
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the
MISSOURI SUBJECT.
Mr. Pinkney, of .Maryland, rose and ad
dressed the Senate nearly three hours
against the restriction, anil in-reply to the
remarks of Mr. King, of New-Vork.—
When he had concluded, the subject was
postponed on motion of Mr. Otis: and

invasion; and all other advantages and
immunities which are of a federal nature.
Federal lights and immunities are the
same throughout the Union; their source
is the same: these universal rights and ad
vantages are intended in the article un
der consideration.
But the right to hold slaves is not one
of this description; because the laws of the
gtates are repugnant to each other in this
particular. In some states -dnverv is law
ful; in others unlawful. It would, thcre-
'fin e, be lining violence to the lane,

HOUSE OF UF.FHESF.NTATIVES.
[\ (li.cmnent was laid before the House
Saturday last before the adjournment,
whHi was not noticed in our statement
of the proceedings; it was a report uf the
Secretary of the Treasury transmitting
abstracts of the receipts and expenditures
of the General Post Olfice, from 1st Jan
uary, 1814, tn Slst March, 1818, in obe
dience to a resolution of the 28th ult.;
winch report was ordered to lie ou the ta
ble and.be printed.
Mr. JYewton, from the committee on
commerce, reported a bill to impose a new
tonnage of French ships and vessels;
and >
Mr. lYeiotnn, from the same committee,
reported also a bill concerning navigation
aud to repeal the act of April, 18, 1818,
concerning navigation; which bills were
severally twice rend and committed.
On motion of Mr. Tindall, it was
liemlived. That the letter from the Sec
retary of State of the fill Feb. 1820, trans
mitting a list of the newspapers in which
(lie laws ol the United States are publish!
ed, and an estimate of the expense of such
publication, be referred to a select com
mittee, and that the same committee en
quire into +he expediency of repealing nr
amending the acts requiring the publica
tion of the laws in the newspapers.
This motion of Mr. P. was grouqdedon
the belief that the expenses of promulga
ting the acts of Congress in newspapers
had increased to an unreasonable and im
proper extent, and that the laws on the
subject required repeal or modification,
so as to reduce this expense.
The resolution was referred to a com
mittee of three members,
On mution of Mr. /Talker, of N. C. it
was
Resolved, That the committee on the
Public I,amis be instructed to enquire in
to the expediency of limiting the quantity
of public lands hereafter to be exposed
tn sale at the several Laird office# of tile
United States.
On motion of Mr. Ross, the committee
on the Post Office and Post Roads, were
instructed to enquire into the expediency
of establishing a post route from Festuwn,
in Clermont county, through Bethel, Will
iamsburg aud Lebanon, to Dayton, ill
Ohio.
Mr. Cnnk submitted the following reso
lution for consideration:
4 . , r - yuige of lire and die in slavery. And, even if this
o rta V, to give it a construction lead- ] should not be th case, the time must
l ig o enn iismii and contradiction. I sub-1 come, when this species nf population will
be so abundant that in all parts of the
Chuntrv where slavery shall be permitted
to exist, by its continual increase, it will
mit, whether it can he a fair mode of rea-
sutiing, tn impute tn contracting pat ties
an intention inconsistent with their pow-
* , ' s !, when the words nf the compact can
be fairly Satisfied hy a diflferent construc
tion, and une corresponding with the ob
ject evidently in view? In a word, the
treaty provide* for the enjoyment of oil
those lights and privileges’ necessarily
belonging to a member nl the Union; that
is, federal powers: those which are cha-
rarleristic attributes nf an independent
Slate in the confederacy: such powers as
render .Massachusetts as independent as
Virginia; though the former has no right
tn held slaves, and the latter has that
right, and exercises it.
From the foregoing considerations, I am
led to the conclusion that (’ongrees pos
sess the constitutional and unrestricted
rinht to prohibit the further introduction
ol slaveiv inlo Missouri, hv annexing
Such prohibition, as a condition of her
admission into the Union.
The second question is, whether it is
expedient for Congress to carry this pow•
•r intoexecution? This enquiry opens a
a most extensive field: it presents facts
as interesting to humanitv as thev are to
the essential and lasting prosperity of
the country. The enquiry invites the
heart to *he indulgence of svmp-xthv and
Commiseration, in contemplating the mis
eries of slavery, and its unwelcome ef
fects III) society. But, sir, this is not the
time or the pl.ee to advance sentiments,
Or employ expressions calculated to awa-
produrr the same surplus and same dan
ger whieh are seen and apprehended in
partirnlar sections of the country. Ac
cording to this theory, ’therefore, ofeme-
liomting ilie slaves bv spreading them
over an extensive surface, the only effect
is to postpone the evil day. Mow much
better will it be, sir, to pursue a course
of restriction and gradual emancipation,
so that this evil day may never arrive.
I am sensible it is often urged that the
contemplated prohibition will lessen the
value of slaves and operate indirectly up
on the rights of the proprietors, and to
their prejudice. Suppose this to be true:
the answer, I apprehend, is a9 satisfactory
as it is obvious. Sir, it can never be wise
or correct legislation to authorise or per
mit the extension of an acknowledged
nufi/ir evil, tor the sake of any private iii-
dividual advantages. This would be con
trary to the very principles «n which our
government and all good governments,
are lounded—-that is, tin* welfare and hap
piness or the great whole. We are con-
tinunllv witnessing the operation of this
prtiicipjr. In how mnnv instances, durino-
the operation of our embargo laws, and
the restrictive system to which nur gov
ernment though; it proper „ m | necessary
to resort, were the hopes, prospects, and
property of individuals, sacrificed tqr the
public goodr How manv hundreds were
reduced to penury by the sudden derange-
Mr. President, much more might be
urged in considering this question uf ex
pediency; but the subject is, iit many res
pects, a delicate one. I therefore, forbear:
resolving never to pass those bounds which
discretion slid good feeling have prescrib
ed, and which have, thus far, during the
debate, been respectfully observed by
others.
It may be useful, however, to remark,
generally, that thrnnghout the civilized
world, we have evidence of an unfeigned
disposition to diffuse instruction among
the uuinformed.nml by the offices of kind
ness, and the hopes and promises of reli
gion, to increase the coin lot fs and happi
ness of mankind: this mild and merciiul
disposition is displayed in our own coun-
try*, in n manner interesting to the heart,
and presents a strong inducement for Con
gress to join in every measure leading to
such desirable results. But, I fear, sir, I
am trespassing ton far on the time and pa
tience of the Senate: the subject is impor
tant, and this is my apology. I will close
in a few moments.
In virtue of the ordinance of 1787, as I
before observed, Ohio, Indiana, and llli
nois, were admitted into the Union, un
der an interdiction of slavery. Those
states are fast rising into importance;
f ieopled by hardy freemen; conscious of
heir situation, and congratulating them
selves in being happily exempted train the
operation of a principle, which might es
sentially impair their strength, ami dimi
nish their comforts, I doubt not, sir,
that, if the people of those states were
now to speak to us their opinions and
feelings, they would add strength to the
arguments which I have been urging. I
go further: I have no question that, if tile
proposed amendment should be adopted,
and Missouri commence her career ol in
dependence, under an inhibition of fur
ther slavery, within ten years from this
time her people will rejoice in a retro
spective view of the dangers they had es
caped: ami look forward with pride and
congdence in the consciousness of their
increasing prosperity. Nay, sir, I go fur
ther still: I believe that the millions who
may hereafter inhabit our western region,
extending to the Pacific Ocean, will feel
and enjoy the same benign effects in their
social and political relations, and that
they, and successive generations after
them, “will rise up and call us blessed.”
(Debate to be continued.}
Resolved, That the committee of Wavs
and Means be im-tru-fod to enquire into
the expediency of repealing so much of
the first section of an act entitled “An
act making appropriations for the sup
port of Government for the year 1819,”
3 raved March 3, 1819, as pledges tile " ver ‘
reserved for laving out and making
roads to the states of Indiana ami Illinois,
for the repayment of the monies appropri
ated and advanced by the United States,
for constructing the United Slates’ road
from Cumberland to the Ohio river, and
of appropriating the same to defray the
expenses of laying out and making a road
from the Ohio river opposite to Wheeling,
by Columbus, in the state of Ohio, and
by tne permanent Seat of Government of
Indiana; on the most eligible route, to
Vandalin, in the state of Illinois.
In offering this resolution to the consid
eration of the house, Mr. Toole begged
leave to ask its attention to the act there
referred tn. By that act the fund reser
ved for the improvement of roads leading
to the states of Indianna and Illinois, had
been pledged fur the repayment of the
money appropriated bv Congress for the
completion of the Cnmberland road
This road was commenced, Mr. C. belie
ved, ten or twelve years ago. By the acts
of 1816 and 1818, authorizing the admis
sion of Indiana aud Illinois, respectively,
two per cent, on the net proceeds arising
train the sale of the public lands in those
states was reserved by Congress tn the
laving out and making nf roads leading to
those states, respectively; and in consid
eration of this appropriation made bv Con
gress, with others, which were understood
on all hands, to be for the benefit of those
states, respectively, the states surrender
ed a part of their sovereignty: they agreed
that the lands of the United States, then
remaining to he sold, should be free from
taxation for five years after the day nf sale
and in Illinois the bounty lands given to
the soldies of the late army, were also to
be exempted from taxation for three years
from the date of their patents This sur
render of the sovereign right of Illinois to
tax the lands thus exempted, was, Mr.
C. said, the consideration given fur the
road fund now under consideration, as
well as some other advantages which were
granted to her, and for which she is grate
ful to the government. This, with the
other propositions mu te bv Congress, were
now matters of compact between Illinois
and the United States; and to divert this:
could not but think it was intended to flows
Illinois would consider a violation of that
compact.
To appropriate that fund to the making
of a road terminating ut Wheeling, a point
several hundred miles from the border of
the state, never cnuld be an appropriation
in unison with the intention cither of Con
gress or of the state of Illinois. As well,
Mr. C, said, might you appropriate it to
the making of a l oad leading Irani St. Fee
to Missouri, uniting those two sovereign*
ties, as to the object for which it stands
pledged; for this would be a road lending
towards Illinois. From an examination
of the subject, Mr. C. said lie found that
the revenue which Illinois would derive
from n tax on the lands which may be sold
within the state, and on the bounty land,
which she cannot now derive, in conse
quence of this compact, would, at a. rea
sonable rale, amount to about 280,000 dol
lars, a large proportion of which would
now be subject tn be called into her cof
fers, and nf which she really stood in great
need. Could it be contended, Mr. C. ask
ed, that this food, which was reserved to
Indiana and Illinois, respectively, to make
roads leading to them, in the one case
about ten, and the other twelve years af
ter the Cumberland road was commenced,
was at that time intended, or understood,
either by those states or by the United
State#, to be subject to defray the expen*
ces nt that roads' It cnuld not be possible.
It seemed, Mr. C. said, much more likely
to have been reserved for tile purposes
contemplated by the resolution which lie
had offered, to extend that road to the
borders of those states respectively; anlft
unless it was so appropriated, nr nt least
in making road# lending to, aud not to
wards them, lie did think they would have
just cause of complaint against the govern
ment. Since the admission of those slate*
Mr. C. believed a fund of about 50,000
dollars had already accrued from the safe
nt lands, which should be now lying in the
national treasury. This sum, a!tlioug|i it
would not complete the road, would de
fray the expence of making and laying it
out, and go far towards opening it, so as
to render it passable; and as the fund con
tinued to increase, it might be employed
to complete it. Indeed, Baid Mr. C. it
seems to me to be so obvious that the in
tention uf Congress was, that this money
should be appropriated to the improve
ment of roads, to facilitate the entrance
into those stntes, that reasoning cannot
make it plainer; and any diversion of it
to any other object, therefore, is a viola
tion of the compact between those state*
and the United States. He trusted thbt
(he resolution would be considered and
adopted. j
The resolution was then considered ar.i
adopted, without n division.
Mr. Cook ojTered also tile following re
solution for consideration:
Retained, That the committee on the
public lands be instructed to enquire in*o
the expediency of providing by law for
(he payment of so much of the money
arising from the sale of the public lamia
in the state of Illinois, since the fih<! day
ot January, 1819, as has been reserved by
jaw for the encouragement of learning, to
said state.
Mr. C. observed, that the object of Ihia
resolution was, simply to enable th? state
of Illinois tn obtain the three per cent,
fund arising from the sale of public lands
which had been reserved by Congress to
be appropriated by 'he state to the en
couragement of learnini This course,
he said, had been considered ntfeesnrv,
since the Secretary of the Treasury might
not otherwise feel authorised to pay it
I his, Mr, C. said, was the course
taken hy Indiana to obtain her road fund,
reserved ill the same way.
This resolution was also adopted with
out a division.
On motion of Mr. /Toodbeidge, the re
port of the committee on public lands un
favorable tn the petition of sundry inhabi-
tauts of Michigan, late soldiers in the ar
my, was taken up, and, with the petition,
recommitted to the same committee for
re-consideration.
The Speaker laid befbre the House a
communication from the Commissioners
of Navy Hospitals, transmitting the in
formation requested by the resolution of
Mr. Silsbee, adopted on the 31st of Janu.
ary.
The Spenker also laid before the House
a report from the Secretary of the Tma.
surv, made in obedience to the resolution
of the 4th instant, offered by Mr. Ran
dolph,directingthe Secretary of the Trea
sury to report such measures as in hi*
opinion may be expedient to enforce the
more speedy payment of public monies
due from individuals and corporate bodies
ill the United Stntes.
These reports were respectively order
ed to lie on the table.
MISSOURI BILL.
The House then again resolved itself
into a committee of the whole, Mr. Bald
win in the chair, on this bill.
Mr. Rankin, of Mississippi, took .the
Hoor, and spoke more (ban an hour against
the Restriction.
Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, took the
other side of (he question, and spoke about
an hour in favor of the Restriction.
Mr. Cnthbert, of Georgia, followed, and
occupied the floor also about an hour
against the Restriction; when
The committee rose, on motion of Mr.
