Many of the leading Democratic Statesmen of the North were willing to accede to the proposition. The able and accomplished Statesman who now occupies the Presidential chair, the distinguished Senator from Illinois, together with many others, doubting the justice and propriety of the measure as an original enactment, were willing to adopt it, to quiet the disturbance in the pubhc mind, and give eace to the country. But under the pressure of a violent and ilesperate opposition, that fair, equal, ...and just proposal of the South "TO is not acceded to; and after a contest unexampled up to that t/ne in the history of the Confederacy for its rancor and bitterness, and through the untiring energy and exalted patriotism of Webster, Clay, Douglas, and their distinguished and eminent associates, the Compromise Measures of 1850 passed the Na- tional Legislature, striking at the root of thirty years of false and unconstitutional legislation — crushing out the erroneous and un- worthy precedent which had established in the Missouri question restriction and prohibition — and asserting the great principle of non-intervention by Congress in the matter of Slavery in the Territories of the U nited States, leaving the people at perfect lib- erty to enter all public domain with their property of every des- cription, subject only to the provisions of the Constitution of the Country ; with full power, upon the formation of a State govern- ment, regardless and irrespective of either arbitrary or imaginary lines ; each community to determine for itself, whether the African race should be free or subjected to a state of servitude by the organic law.
