Yes, sir, although Missouri applied in the early part of 1818 for admission, it was not until the 26th of February, 1821, after many trials and dangers in her way, that her admission was con- summated. And what occurred, Mr. Chairman, during the clamor of opposition against the admis- sion of Missouri into the Union? An immense territory was ceded to Spain to conciliate this north- ern influence. Texas — the State which I have the honor in part to represent, and the title of the Uni- ted States... to which, in the language of John duin- cy Adams, "was as clear as their title to the Island of Orleans" — was ceded by this same Mr. Adams, then Secretary of State, to Spain, on the 22d of- February, 1819, in part, for the relinquishment of the right of Spain to the territory of Oregon. Here icas slave territory bargained away for free.
