22, 1850. THE COMPROMISE REJECTED 65 pecially his reference to the Nashville Convention as a revolu- tionary step, would be used by submissionists against South Car- olina and the resistance movement. ''Such men spoil all move- ments, ' ' he wrote in disgust. 10 In the meantime, Congress had paid little attention to the so-called ultimatum of the Nashville Convention. The death of Taylor and the succession of Fillmore to the presidency, with Webster as his Secretary of State, insured the succes...s of Clay's plan of adjustment. On July 31, the bill for the territorial or- ganization of Utah without the prohibition of slavery passed the Senate. Within the course of the next two months five separate bills, containing substantially Clay's proposals, were accepted by both houses. On September 20, the last of these, providing for the suppression of the slave trade in the District of Colum- bia, became a law. In the House the South Carolina delegation supported only the fugitive-slave bill. The time had now come to test the sincerity of those who had pledged resistance to the Wilmot Proviso, to the admission of California with her constitution prohibiting slavery, and to the prohibition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia.
