I never would consent to it under any supposed obligation under the organic act of 1850, or any compact anywhere. I say that New Mexico should come before this Congress, or whatever Congress she approaches, for ad- mission as other States come ; and when she comes, she shall be tried upon her merits. If she is found watiting in any of the particulars which were so pertinaciously required of Kansas, she shall not have admission to this Union by my vote or my influence. And yet, we are entreated ...to yield this small Territory to slavery, and to settle this question upon that basis. Commerce approaches us, and takes us upon a very high hill, and shows us these broad and splendid fields of cotton, with their rivulets of silver, and the golden sunsets beyond, and asks us if we cannot give even this boon to satisfy the South. Commerce would say, --Cheat the South, if you will ; but get the bill passed, and the Union saved, and then start your emigration societies, and your means for making it what you avow it is your design to make it here on this floor — a free Mate.
