The organization of Ne- braska was not needed by the Westward movement, as there were still in Missouri thousands of acres of unoccupied land, but it was indispensable to a Missouri terminus for the Pacific railroad. Under Benton's inspiration, numerous meetings were held in western Missouri, which sent memorials to Con- gress asking the immediate organization of Nebraska. The development of a similar movement in Iowa has not yet been traced in detail; but between 1850 and 1853, under the leade...rship of Senators Dodge and Jones, numerous public meet- ings were held in the western part of the state, requesting the immediate organization of Nebraska. Hadley D. Johnson says that he removed from Indiana to Council Bluffs in 1850 with the expectation that it would be the eastern terminus of the transcontinental railroad; and that, with this end in view, he supported in the Iowa senate in 1852 the petition for land grants for three Iowa railroads converging there. * Thus it appears that the validity of the Missouri Compromise had for some time son was allied with the Calhoun wing of the Democrats, and would not have fathered a bill which assumed to establish popular sovereignty.
