To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sixth section of the same act provides that the legislative power and authority of this said Territory of 'Sew Mexico shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation con- sistent with the Constitution of the_IJnited States and the provisions uf the act, not excepting slavery. Thus the New Mexican Bill, from which they make that quotation, contains the provision that New Mexico, including that part of Texas which was cut off, should come into the Union with or without slavery, as it saw... proper ; and in the meantime that the Territorial legislature should have ail the authority over the subject of slavery that they had over any other subject, restricted only by the limitation of the Constitution of the United States and the provisions of the act. Now, I ask those senators, do not those provisions repeal the Missouri Compromise, so far as it applied to the country out off from Texas? Do they not annul it? Do they. not supersede it? If they do, then the address which has been put forth to the world by these confederates is an atrocious falsehood.
