J The amendment which he offered to the Kai Nebraska hill was intended to have precisely the same effect, and was the counterpart of the propo- sition of the Senator from Mis issippi, offered as an amendment to the compromise measures of 1850, that the Territorial Legislature should have the power to protect, but not to exclude or i prohibit slavery. When this amendment was' offered by Mr. Chase it stood in the position of an amendment to an amendment. The n shows that Mr. Pratt, of Maryland, a...ppealed to Governor Chase to accept an additional amend- ment, by inserting the words "or introduce" after the word "prohibit, " so that it would read that the people of a Territory might prohibit or introduce slavery. Governor Chase's amendment being an amendnmet to an amendment, the propo- sition of Mr. Pratt was out of order. Mr. Si:w- ard, of New York, made the point of order, which was sustained by the Chair, and conse- quently Governor Chase having refused to a scepl the words "or introduce, " it was not in order to move the amendment.
