Then, that action was very unuecessaiy. There is no doubt that, if gentlemen desire to make issues amongst themselves, that is a matter for their consideration. No man can mistake the expressions of that bill; and those expressions were not put in there for any such purpose as is now pretend- ed by some; and I can tell you why. The very provision of the New Mexico and Utah act, wherein it was provided that tbey"^should be admitted either with or without slavery, as should be provided in the con...stitutions when they came to form a State — that very expression was already in the Kansas-Nebraska act, eight sec- tions before the other words to which I have alluded. It was all provided ftir be- fore you came to the repealing provision. That was not there, then, for any such purpose. It evidently does mean, as il provides, that the people there, while a Ter- ritory, and as a Territory, should settle the matter in their own way. I will not now enter into the question whether they could or could not; but that was tiie Dower given.
