It ia proper to state, however, while .we hold
PeßKwwjiiw Senators to an account, that rumor as*

But, as above intimated, we cannot credit this
tumor. - It i» not the usual course of tboWhfgi to
oppose the nominees of their own party, without

A oourse of lhis kind, would do an immense in*

I lUinofajeatricting slavery north of the line 36deg. 1
I SOmdauTand leaving It open south of that line, ei
; to admit it or not to admit IL Well, sir, tbe bill
finally passed. Tbe committees of conference of
i the twwHooses recommended the detachment of
l the two esses, and the passage of the Missouri
bill with the danse 36deg<3Qmin. in it; sad so it
ao went to Missouri, so it for s moment
quieted the country, by means of the introduction

amongst those who voted lor the line 36deg. 30

I my friend from Alabama, Mr. King, in the Senate,
1 fib. Pinckney, from Maryland, and indeed tbe
, majority cl the Bou(bem Senators voted in favor

bat I h*vp very little doubt that I voted, in com

|tioe, Inaspiritof compromise, it is tree, of the I
line SSdeg. 30min. 1 I
Well, air, ao the matter ended in 1620. During i
that tear Miasouri held her Convention, adopted i
her Coostitmioh, sent her delegates to Congress, I
soiHnff to be admitted into the Uaien, but she had i
■ elanse in her constitution containing a
proMbttiOA of free people of color from that Btate..
She came here with her Constitution eoatsiaing !
' that prohibition, and immediately the Northern I
members took exception to U. Tbe Same which
had been repressed during the previous session,
now bunt forth with double violence throughout |
1 tbe whole Union. Legislative bodies all got to 1
mfi** to keep out Missouri, In consequence of
her interdiction of free people of color from within
her limits* I did not arrive at Congress that set
; doa Jill January, and when I got here I found
both bodies' completely paralysed in cotme
sequence of the struggle to exclude Missouri
from the Union -in eoaseqaence of that prohibt-
sir. I made the first effort In the House to |
settle it. I asked for a committee of thirteen;
and a ef thirties was granted to me,
representing all tbe old States of the Union. Th°
eomtatttee met. 1 presented to them a resolution, •
which eras adopted by tbe committee and report*;
ed Hauan—not unlike the one to which i
will ttesently call the attention of the Senate—
and we should have earned It in the House but
far the votes of Mr. Randolph, ot Virginia, Mr.
Edwards, of North Carolina, and Mr. Barton, of
North Carolina—<wo of the three, I believe, no
longer living. These throe Southern votes were
fr*in»t the compromise which was prepared
by the committee, or rather by myself, as chair
min of the committee of thirteen, and defeated tt.
W«l! sir, in that condition the thing remained
far several days. The greatest anxiety pervaded
tbe country—the public mind was unsettled—.
men wcreuohappy —there was a large majority
of the Home then, as E hope and unit there ta
now a large majority Congress, in favor of an eqnh .
table aeooomodatio# or settlement of the quest
fion; and the rewdotiou would htve been .adopted,,
1 believe, but when it casus to lb* vote-by yeas
and nays, unfortunately then—mote ppfortoaite- 1
ly tben,l hope, than now, if there should bo occa.
■fea for it now—there were fow Curtiuses and I

the two Houses, that of the House to consist cf
twenty th*** members, (the cumber cl the Senate
I do aoi recalled,) and that this com

time Mr. Taylor, of New york, was in the chair,
and Mr. Taylor was tbe very man who had first
nroaind tbe restriction upon Missouri. He pro
aba yboold only be admitted on the
principle of lb* of 1737. I proposed,
therefore, that tbe commute pa jpporaied by bil

Well, air, tha resolution was finally adopted. I
eaa etata, without reading it, what ijta provisions
are. ft declares that, if theft be any provision In

eopstitutfon of the jolted Butes, Missouri sbsll

«Sp ptoyiriepa of fiat ooutttotiou which are in-
compatible with the constitution of the United

and tmhemio act, the President of the United
States—who was at that time Mr. Moaroe—«h*U
make proclamation of the fact; and thereupon,
and vithoot any further legiilsuon of CoafraOi
Missouri shall be admitted Into the Union.
: Now, air, 1 want to call year to this
period of history, and to the transactions which
took place donna the progress of the diacossion
upon the resolution. •
Daring the discossion which took place' in the
House at that time, from day to day, and from
night to night—for the discussions frequently ran
into the night—wh who were for n^*ni t,tn g Mis*
■ourt into the Union said to oar brethren from the
North, ** Why, gentlemen, if there be any provK
sion In the constitution of Miasouri which is re*
pageant to the constitution of the United States,
; it ia a nullity. The constitution of the United
States, by vinuo.ofits own operation—its own self
operation—*vacates iL Any tribunal ou eatth be*
fore which the question may be brought, must pro*
uoonco the constitution of the United Rfitf para*
mount, and must prononnco ia invalid the repog*
nnnt provisions of the constitution of Missouri."
Well, sir, the .argument was turned, and twisted,
and used in every posaible variety of form. All
was la vain. An inflexible majority stood out to
tee last against the admission oi Missouri; and
yet the resolution—
Mr. Underwood. I have U here.
Mr. Clay. If you will read it, I shall be obliged
to yoQ.
Mr. Underwood read the resolution as follows:
Resolution providiogfor the admission of the State
of Missouri into the Union on a certain condi
tion. 1
Resolved by the Senate and Hoata of Represents
tivea or the United States of America in Congress as
sembled, That Misaonri shall be admitted into thts
Union on an equal footing with the original State* ia
all respects wha'ever, upon the fundamental condition
that the fosith clause of the SSth section of the third.
article of the eoattitatlon. sabmitied on the part of
said State to Congress, shall never be construed to as*
thorixe the passage of any law, and that no law shall
be passed ia conformity thereto, by which any eltizen
of either of the Btaiet in this Union shall be exelnded
from the enjoyment of any of the privileges andim*
munhies to whieh such ciliien is entitled under the
Constitution of the United Btales: Provided, That the
Legislature of the said State, by a solemn pablie act,
shall deolare the assent of the said Stale to the said
fundamental condition, and shall transmit to the Presi
dent of the United States, an or before the fourth Mon
day in November next, an authentic copy of tbo said
act; upon the receipt whereof, the President, by pro
clamation, shall announce the fact; whereupon, and
without any farther proceeding on the part of Con
gress, the admission of the said Buto into this Union
shall be considered complete.
(Approved, March S, 1831.
Mr. Olay. There Is the resolution, air, and you
see it is precisel? what I have staled. After all
thi* excitement throughout the country, reaching
to such an alarming point, that the Union itself
was supposed to be in the moat Imminent peril
and danger, the parties were satlfied by the decla
ration of an inconieaiab'e principle of constitution
al law, that when the constitution of a Stato is vio*
lative in it* provisions of tbs constitution of the
United States, the constitution of the UniiedState*
is paramount, and the constitution of the Btate, in
that particular, is a nullity and void. That was
aIL They wanted something as a justification, and
thts appeared, at least, a justification ol the course
they took. There is a great deu! of langnag there
of a high soundipg chsrnctrr—that it shall be s
fundamental set, a solemn act, an authentic set;
but, after all, when vou eoma to strip it of its ver
biage, It is nothing but the announcement of the
principle that the constitution of the United States
is paramount over the local coauitalion of any
ono of the Btstea of the Uoion.
Mr. President. 1 may draw from that transaction
in our history which we are now examining, this
moral; that now, as then, if we will only suffer
our resson to have its scope and away sod to still
end hush the passion and excitement that hois been
created by (be occasion, the difficulty will be man
than ball temoved, In the settlement, upon just
and amicable principles, of any questions which
unhappily divide us at this moment.
But, sir, I wish to coutrsuthe plan of accommo
dation which is proposed by me with that which
is offered by the Missouri compromise Une being
extended io the Pacific ocean, and to ask of gen*
ilecaen from the Bouth, and gentlemen from the
North, too, whieh is most proper, which most
jus', and to which there is the least cans* of ob»
jociioa.
Now, sir, what was done by the Missouri line?
Slavery was positively interdicted, north of that
Uuc. The question of the admission or exclusion
of slavery south of that lino was not settled.—
There was no provision that alavery should be
introduced or established south of that Use. .In
point of fad, it existed <n ell the territory south of
the line of 30 deg. 39 min., embracing Arkansas
end Louisians. It wnsu t necessary then, it is
true, to insert a clause admitting slavery 0 that
time. But, air, if there is a power to Interdict,
there is a power to admit; and I put it to gentle*
men from the South, are they prepared to do sat
isfied with the lioeof36 deg-30 min, interdicting
slavery to tbo north of U, and giving them no guar
anty forthe pcK&cesion of slavery south of that llnel
The honorable Senator from Mississippi told us
the other day that he was not prepared to be' tala
itfied with that compromise line. He told us, if I
understood him rightly, that nothing short of a pos
ilive introduction—
Mr. Foote. Recognition.
Mr. Clay. That nothing short ofa positive re*
cognition of slavery south or the Une of <36 deg.
90 min. would satisfy him. Well, Is there any
body who believes that you could get twenty votes
in ibis body, car a proportional number la ths oth*
er House, to a declaration in favor of the recogni
tion oi slavery south of the line of 39 deg. 30 min?
It is Impossible. AU that you can get, nil that
you can expect to get, afi that was proposed at the
last session, was action on the north of the Une,
and noa-action os regards slavery sooth of that
line. It is interdicted on one side, without any
corresponding provision for Its ndmisrion on the
other side of the line of 39 deg. 30 min. r
Now, sir, when 1 come to consider the subject,
and to compare the provisions of the Use of 39 deg.
30 min —toe Missouri compromise liop>—with the
plan which I propose for the sesommodation of
this question, what said ! to myself? Why, if I
offer the tine of 30 deg. 30 min., interdicting slav
ery north of U,and leaving the question open south
of that line, 1 offer that which la illusory to (he
Soatb. I offer that which will dpooive (hem, If
they suppose that atayery will be introduced south
of that line. It la better for (hem, J said to mjeeff
—it is better for the whole South, that there should
be ooj; action on both sides, than that there thoold
be action imrodaeigg slavery on one tide, without
action for the admission of slavery on the other
side of the Une. la it not so? What, theo, is
gained by the Sostb,{fthe Miesopri Uooisextend
ed to the Pacific, with an interdeetion of slater?
north of it? Why, sir, one of the very arguments
which ha* been most often and most seriously
urged by lha 5 jqth i;cs been this, that we do not
want you to legislate upfin the tuojeet ti all: yos
ought not in touch jt; you have no power over It.
i do not eoocur, as is well known from what I
'have said opon this occasion, in this view b! the
Sublet. But that is the Southern argument. We
do not’want yau tq lc~jsj(je at all on the subject
of slaveryj'bofifyoq adopt the Missouri line |nd :
extend it to the Pacific, and iplerd/ct ajavery nortp
of that line, you do legislate upon the subject of
alavery.aad you legislate without a corresponding
ot legislation upon the subject of lla*
very
interdicting sia/ewnajib pf the Ijne, the principle
of equality would requirA that thdry should be
legislation admitting slavery aouth of the lioe.
Sir, I have said that I never could vote for it,
and 1 repeat that I never can, and never will vote
for it; and no earthly power shall ever make me
veto ;o plant alavery where alavery does not exist.
Still, ir f ih‘-Yv by » m#iorUy---coij there oujht to
be such • rnsjurity—fb/intaroiAing davery V»th
of tho lioe, there ought to be ah eqos!
ifequtlity aod jastice be done to tie Sohih—to

pos4s, though I cannot concur In (ha actios, yet 1
would lie onedftWJisufi qrtaiq tfoy disturbance,
I would be ode of th‘d first’ lo acqoesce la ttfch

would be better to keep the wbolo of these terri
