I will simply ask the Senator if it is not Indian territory ? Mr. BELL. But the other is Indian territory also. Mr. CHASE Mr. BELL, policy. Mr. CHASE. The territory south of 36° 30' was Indian territory, and proposed to be left as such by the bill. The bill, if it is passed, would convert the territory north of 36° 30' into organ- ized territory, excluding from it, of course, those portions which are inhabited by Indian tribes not ceded by treaty. Mr. BELL. No man, from thereadingof that addres...s, would have supposed that the territory north of 36° 30' was admitted to be Indian terri- tory. "To resume my argument. It so happened that this territory was divided into equal parts by the line of- the Missouri compromise, 360 3G'; thus taking from the South a territorial area sufficient to form one more slave State, and from the North a territory large enough to form one more free State, according to the terms of the Missouri com- promise. The great object of securing a country for the exclusive and perpetual inheritance of the Indian tribes, when driven from their original posses- sions, was thus accomplished without any jealousy between the North and the South, growing out of the slave question.
