MR. BADGER. Jdr President, like my hon orable friend from vMassachunett", Mr- Ever xrr, I had a strong, and to my mind, insupera ble objection to the substitute to the bill as it u orirlnalW renorted to the Senate, upon the ly reported "to the Senate, upon th i thought that it did not effectual! maintaining the puMtc faith of th cround that n - , a . 1 T nrovida for maiotamme the pu he Sation -towards the Indians, and heir posseae ms, within the boundaries of these Territories, fcikehim, I felt, and feel, that every measure, ak( only of justice, but of kindness and con sideration, should be extended to the' remnants of those men who were originallj powerful and Warlike ; who once possessed a large pwrtion of the original States of the Union ; but who now, dwindled in number, and enfeebled in power, have, under our authority, been gathered upon this territory west of the Mississippi, far from the original homes'of their ancestors, under a guarantee that they should not be dispossessed of their new possessions. I thought the substitute as originally report ed did not, in effect, provide for requiring from these Indian tribes a free and voluntary con sent, before territorial governments should be! established over thein. Not doubting at all that I it was the intention of the honorable chairman ! who reported this bill, and of the committee at the head of which he is, to afford such guaran tees for a free consent on the part of the In dians, and to assure to them the exercise of a real free will in determining upon the question, I still thought that, as the bill stood, -there would be no guaranty to accomplish that pur pose. I thought, and I still think, that, if we suppose these territorial governments establish ed, and the Governors of the Territories r. s pectively made tx officio the superintendents of Indian Affairs, with all the appliances and means of those territorial governments brought to bear with, in fact, an overpowering force upon the exercise of the will of thone tribes, it would be a mockery to uxk them to consent, when the practical power of refusal was in substance withheld. Therefore, if the substitute had remained in its original condi tion, no earthly consideration would have in duced me to give it my support ; for I consider a fair and untainted reputation, as it is the moat -valuable possession of an individual in private life, the strongest safeguard of a nation. But, sir, that substitute, upon the suggestion of the Committee on Indian Aflf.iirs, upon amendments proposed by its chairman, has been relieved of Piose obnoxious provisions, and I think it does now substantially assure to us the exercise of a free and independent will on the part o( the Indian tribes. AW control over them is entirely taken from the territorial authorities. Though included -i.rnphiell y within the bounds of these Territories, politi cally they are to all purposes out of theui, and are not, in any respect, brought into contact with, and. will not have any transactions, or business, or dealings, with the territorial au thorities, as such. Jhe lull, entire ana com plete jurisdiction of the President of the United States, and the officers of his appointment, irre- spectivc entirely of the territorial organization, J is continued and reserved ; and the acts passed for their security are re-enacted, and re-affirm ; ed ; and every reasonable precaution has been : made to satisfy that plain demand up.n, our ho- j nor, that what is asked from them thej shall j be at liberty to refuse. j I know, sir, every gentleman is obliged to j know, that every Indian tribe is more or less subject to influences in the transaction of bu.-i- j tness respecting their condition and their pro- j perty, which it is not in the power of the Con- gress of the United States entirt ly to dissipate and remove. It is possible that the President j of the United States, acting under the audio- ' rity conferred upon him by law, and reserved j to him by this bill, may appoint agents who ; will be guilty of the most unworthy contrivau- , ces, means of compulsion, or acts of persuasion, ' which may result in really depriving the In dian of the fair and just exercise ol his own in- dependent will ; but I am not to presume that I any such use will be made of p wer. A Presi dent of the United States, who would be guilty of such conduct, would be justly handed down ! to posterity with indelible ignominy upon his ' character, and stand recorded - to the remotest ; generations as a reproach to t'le character of ; the country which gave him birth, and honored him with its confidence. As this, however, is I not to be presumed, and isnot to be believed. I ' say that I think all reasonable precautions have been taken, which can be demanded of us, to insure a fair, and just, and free exercise of the power of assent or dissent. Again, Mr. President, I sympathized in the view expressed by fuy honorable friend from iJassachusetta, Mr, vrett, that perhaps there1 was no necessity for immediate action in respect to the establishment of these Territo ries, and that we might, without an v. serious detriment to the public good, have- allowed the present state of things to continue for a few years longer ; but then I agree with him, that this is, at last, but a question of time. The very necessities of the case, the developments of ihe country, our acquisitions on the Pacific, the rUsh of the white population, with or without the approbation of Congress, ' render it but a question of time; arid I am far from being cer tain bat that it is better, this being, as I think, practically the undoubted state of thingr, that we should, by some timely and wise legislation, endeavor to do effectually now, what perhaps we may not be able to accomnlish a few hence extend the restraining influence of our j elusion and permission attached to it; and there lawsover this popBlationi-and that, on the j fur. oul of 'hese two positions followed the en whol, it is not at alj.unlikely that it is for the I actmcnt contained in . that statute, that above interests of the tribes themselves that we should i 3G 30' slavery should be prtdiibited, with., the " puoiio-iattuiuen, jr. president, being, as I think, sufficiently relieved from all just im- Eatation, the question . with regard to time eing -one , of comparative unimportance, and, for the reasons which I have mentioned, not weighing, at all ertnts strongly, against the present adoption of some just system in refer- - . ... m -- . .. w we: lerruoriee, tne question-then a.:... :. u. . i ! - . . i .... ... i., ) .uwsnijuilllg IB IUM Dill Wtllc should induce me to reject it; or are its nrov ich )Ti.

It is the la-it section of the act" passed on-the 6tb dav of March. 1820. entitled "An actio author ize- the people ot tlia Missouri Territory to form. n. -oosi i tm mo ami Nmt frovernnient. ana ior the admision of such State into the' Union on an equal looting with the original States, and1 ro j prohibit slavery m certain 'ierritories. act authorized the meetifiirnf a contention in the month of June, after its passage, to'consider tue propriety 01 auopting a state constitution, and if the convention should deem it proper to adopt a State constitution, and if that consti tution were republican in its term's, according to the Constitution of the United States, the. Suite of Missouri should be admitted upon an equal footing with the original States; and tlieh, at the conclusion of the act, comes this' section: "Sec. 8. An.1 b it further aacfed. That in all that territory cvded by Fruiter Ui tlie I'uiird St tee, under the nam of Louiikuk, wliii h lie-uo.-i.ti of 36 30' north latitude, not in cluded within tlir limit ofthe State contemplated by thiaaft, larery nuJ iuvoluiKui.i vrtitude, othurwine than in ,th puuinhinenl ol riim.-. lien., ilie par ie - hull 6ve been do iy oonvicbid. shall . an I i - l.. r-!i.-.i reViT!probibitod:',to--Tided, alway, 1 bat n jr mi. o-iii.f iit tb aaiBe,xroai whom labor or etrtii-e i tuwijily i-luiiufJ in any Stataor Ter ritory of the UuiirU Sttf. -ufh fiiitiTv may be-lawfully rr rlaimed, and ronvrywi to the erou claimlug hi labor or er vic aa aforeaaid. , Mj honorable friend from Connecticut, Mr. Smith, in the argument which ho offered here, said that this prohibition was, upon the face of it, intended to apply to territorial organize ttons, and not to Status. Now, .1 say that it. is plain that it w as intended to apply tj all organ izations of government, States or Territories. In the first phice, the expression is "all that territory." What territory ? Not a territorial political organization, not a portion or district of country, in which a political government had been established under the authority of the U nited States; but obviously the word "territo ry" was used in the sense of land or domain ; and it ui-ant ali that domain which the United States aequirt'd by cession from France under the name of Louisiana. I u regard to all that territory, or all that domain, what is the pro vision of this section ? "Xnat slavery and in voluntary servitude shall be, and is hereby, for ever prohibited," without reference to any mu tations in the political condition of the. domain, but it is to l "forever prohibited." Again, aside from the absurdity of suppo sing that this strong and emphatic language, "forever prohibited," was intended to mean "until they become States," how, upon any system ol interpretation, can you, consistently with the view offered by the Senator from Con necticut, make the exception of "the State con templated by this act?" If the enactment was to prohibit slavery in territorial political or ganizations, and not in States, how does it hap pen tl.ut out of the territorial organisations wo exce pted the very State which the act provides should come into the Union? Uut. sir, the history of ti e time shows what this provision meant. It was a contest whether Missouri should not be compelled by her constitution to exclude slaverv. Th an- i lagonism was between those who said that Mis- aouri should be allowed to do as she pleased, I and those who aid Missouri should be con I trolled in regard to what she should do when ! she came into the Union. The arrangement ; effected was to dn what? Not to lave to Mis ; souri a privilege which every body admitted I she bad.Jmt t leave to Missouri a right which ! siie claimed, the existence of which right was : denied, and to relieve her from the retrietion or condition which it was proposed bv the op- ponents of the extension of slavery to impose upon her admission into the Union. I But, sir, the meaning to be gathered from this j provision is clear, (entirely independent of these two sources for ascertaining its sense,) if we ! recur to the corresponding provision introduced ! into the joint resolution for the annexation of l-xa. that provision is id these words: -New States ufeouvc-uU-nt size, not exoeedinp four in num ; lr. in aJililion ts..id suite fTrxa, having sufficient popn- lalkm. may lwr,-ftrr. by the consent oraid State, be formed i out of the territory therrof, which hall be entitled to admis- ( m-'u uim?r uic- rui 01 me leueral Constitution.

That was aclear construction put by Congress, in the year 1845, upon the meaning and inter pretation of the exclusion contained in the act fr the admission of Missouri, passed in 1820. The last applies as a restriction to States, ex pressly by name as "States," and the other is a perpetual restriction upon certain described 'territory" or domain, without the slightest re ference to the political mutations through which it might pass. In the next place, Mr. President, I think it is abundantly evident that the Missouri compro mise was founded upon a certain principle. My friend from Massachusetts said, that he did not see how w could with correctness Use the language that the restriction in the eighth iieo of the Missouri bill was inconsistent with the principle of non-intervention established by the legislation of 1850. I think ujy friend erred. I uuuerstood by "principle" any fundamental truth, anv original oostulate. nnvfirat fro om which others are deduced, either as prin ;.les or rules of conduct. For eitmnlo i t i. ci obvious that this principle, postulate, funda mental truth, original position, was aasUoied in 1820 in-the passage of the Missouri compromise act, to wit : that Congress should have power to establish a geographical line, and to permit slavery on one side the line and excluding itn the other ;and further, thatU was expedient that Mien a une soouia oe selected, and such an ex implication that sooth of 363fX it miehl exiat.4 ti.... ; . t .1 . ... . , .m i i cinun tne view . wnicn .1 have of j now been incorporated into .the bill,, by.the prcssion "principle of non-intervention rec " , Miviiun iu Liie tf mi infii r trhmh t.

The first was no act of legislation. Of cohrse, it could governnothing except what'.we bad.-r The second was an act of legislation; It took up and applied tVe rule, which was introduced into the first act; Under its name of "the M sou'rl cimprbmise Hne;' and applied jl to owfori-rtnr 'as'a matter of course. To Anv onderstanding.it is clear that when th Missouri compruuuee Jine was e9iHousucu, . - . -ii .t.. : . . . t line would.' of Couree.have been extended to it I ttnnk-jt is dfimonstrable-ifr,om. the.,grounds of-dietatlen and resistance on the one side and the other; from the terms In which vfcis contest issued.- from the reasori of the case, tand" from the subsequent legislation of Cvrrgrees, for which no reason under Heaven can be given, except that they were carrying out an established L principle that the. principle of legislation em bodied in the Missouri compromise Was this: That ST-Moe in. the territoiies should be selected, and slavery excluded on one side, arid implied-, ly allowed'on the other; and that as we acquired future territory, we should apply that line. One modification of this existing "power, which ha been one, I thnk,-ne of - very long discovery, is this: That.m truth and reality any exclusion of a power of a State either to admit or to ex clude slavery imposed by the Government of the United States must be vain, idle, and inop' erative, as an act of power. It is obvious, as I have said, thai the men of 1820 thought other wise Whether they intended or supposed that jthia restriction .would operate praprio rigore, without further legislation, as an exercise of rightful power on the part of Congress, binding by its own proper efficacy; or whether they ex pected as each new State within this dtmain in which slavery was prohibited should come into the Union, a ''fundamental condition," as it is called, should be annexed to its admission; and whether they supposed that that fundamental condition would itself operate so as. in a proper sense, to restrict the power, or would merely im pose an obligation of good faith upon the au thorities of the State, we know not; but, to my understanding, it is plain that they intended the exclusion to apply to this domain under all po litical organizations, and for all time, to be car ried out in one or other of these manners. ?Vow, Mr. President, I propose to show that this principle, upon which the legislation of 1820 was based, was repudiated -by the legisla tion of 1850. 1 propose to show that the appli cation of -the Missouri compromise to State and Territory was insisted upon by the southern members of the Senate iu many, very many cases; that we flaked nothing, we sought notli ing, but the simple recognition of the Missouri compromise line, us carried still further out up' on it-i origiual principle, and that it was refus ed us; and that the territorial governments es tablished in 18j0 were constructed in utter dis regard of the Missouri compromise. If I can succeed in showing that, I shall then contend that it is unreasonable, that it is idle, it is ab surd 1 use the terms in no offensive sense for gentlemen to call upon us to maintain a com promise which has been repudiated and disa vowed by themselves. Before proceeding to examine that legislation, I wish to call the attention of the Senate, for a moment, to what I consider the very small re spect that was paid to what is called the Mis souri compromise in less than a year after it was enacted. On the Gth of March, 1820, this bill was approved, and under it Missouri was to come into the Union as a State, on an equal footing with the oringinal States. Well, sir, her convention met; they formed a constitution; they sent it here. Nobody disputed that it was a republican constitution, and the Senate pas sed a bi 1 immediately lor the admission of Missouri, or declaring her admitted into the Union, upon an equal footing with the original State. It went down to the House. What be came of it? it was rejected by tho House. Upon what principle was it rejected? Now, sir, consider one moment. We arc told that in the sessiou of 1819-'20 there was a difficulty about the admission of Missouri, be cause the representatives of certain portions of the United States wishedto dictate to that State the exclusion of slavery; and finally it was agreed that the State should be admitted into the Union with the exercise of her own power and discretion upon that subject, provided that slavery should be excluded from the rest of the territorial domain acquired by the cession from France. That was the bargain. Well, then, does it not follow, beyond all doubt, that if that bargain was to be carried out, Missouri should have been instantly admitted after the forma tion of a republican constitution? But this was not done. The bill to admit her was rejected; and rejected why? Because she had introdu ced into her constitution a provision authori zing or directing her Legislature to provide by law to prevent the immigration of free negroes and mulattoes into the State. It was insisted that free negroes aud mulattoes were citizens of tne united States, and had a right, under the Constitution of the United States, to go into Missouri; an.d. inasmuch as .this prohibition was contrary to the Constitution of the United States they refused to admit'Missouri into the Union. - . ' Welt now," look at this matter. If this pro vision in the constitution of Missouri was not in violation of -the constitution f the United States;, she bad the power to make i ; and as far. as' these .objecting, representatives were concerned, she bad a gght to make t. If she did. not think that free negroes and mulattoes were the best associates for her white or her black population, she had a right, by a provi sion of law, to select the company, color, and description that should be allowed ta come within her borders ? and therefore, it was an attempt to impose a new condition upon the Statein defiance of the solemn comrr;.: a.

The advice wSs trite, for it was Franklin's in another shape Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves ;" but it cannot be often repeated. Men are continu ally indulging in small expenses ; sayiog to' themselves that it is only a trifle, yet forgetting' that the aggregate is serious that even the sea shore is made up of petty grains of sands. -Ten cents a day even is thirty six dollars and a half a year, and that is the interest on a capitaT'of six hundred dollars. The men who saves ten cents a day only, is so much richer than he who does not, as if he owned a life estate in a house worth six hundred dollars. A romantic story of female devotedness has just been circulated at Valence. It is stated that a Prussian 'woman, named Hipson, has been working in male attire, as navvie on the railways, for more than fire years. She had an infirm husband and four children ; the family were starting ; she disguised herself, worked hard, and had her" wages advanced for her as eiduity : with her earnings she supported her pretended "father and " brother and sisters. her husband and her children. When her se cret was discovered, gifts poured in, upon 'her from the neighborhood, and work more suited to her sex has been provided. REGISTER POWER 1 PRESS AND JOB OFFICE.
