public are respectfully Invited to call at the room* of the Company, and examine the opeiation of the moet superior machine ever pre •anted to their notice.
It ia the result of three separata Inventors, each of whom dlatinct In himaelf, claim* originality "Hie first of whom la EL I AS HOWE, the firat inventor of Sewing Machine*, who introduced th« *hutile movement, without which every machine ia comparatively uaeleos. The next was THOMPSON, who adapted the machine to certain portions of tailora* work, and Mr. COON, by mettna of the peculiar formation of the ahultle combined with other recent improvements of hia own invention, haa mode a machine capable of doing any and all work thai can be effected by meana of tha needle. The machine now offered for aaie present* (he following dls(inc( and peculiar features:— l*t. It ia extremely atmple in It* construction, and In no way liable to get out of order.
Sd. The atitche* are uniform, perfect, and preaent a beautiful appearance never before attained by any machine. 3d. The eewlng done by thia machine is iror-
runtrd

Any and all kinds of work can be done on our machine with equal facility—eilk, linen, cotton or woollen fabrica and leather, each preeent the •ame beautiful appearance. 5th. By means of friction roller* the thread can be made tight or loose upon the cloth at the will of the operator. 6th. The length of the sUtchee can be graduated with maUtematica! enactneea by the operator, from the fine and delicate alltcb requisite in shirt makIng, linen bosoms, collars, ornamental work, etc., up to the coarsest (lilch taken In sole leather, etc. 7th. The finee( curvature# can be worked, and beautiful design* of flowers, baskets of fruit, representations of beaata, birds, etc., can be as elegantly and elaborately worked by the aid of this machine aa by the moat skillful seamstress In exiatence. The American Magnetic Sewing Machine

pteaatton of ita provisions. 1 deadrod to refer to tore points firat to thsoo whicn night be supposed to bear opon the qaestion of slavery.
The Coaunitte, on drafting (he bill, had la view tbe great anxiety which has been expressed by some members, of the Senate to protect the rights of the Iadiaas, and to prevent infringement upon them. By the provisions of the bill, I think we have so dearly sacceoded, ia that respect, as to obviate all potable objection span that score. The bill itself provides that it shall not operate apoa say of the rights or lands of the indiaua, nor shall they be included within the limit* of those territories, until they afoall by treaty with the United "tatea ex preset consent to come under the operations of the act, and be incorporated wldiin the limits of the territories. This provision certainly is broad enoagh, to protect all the rights of the Indiana aa to their paraoaa aad their properly.
Upon the other point, that pertaining to theqttcation of slavery iu tbe territories, it was the iulenUon of the committee to be explicit. We took tbe principles established by the comprotniee acts of I860 aa our guide, and intended to make each and every provision of Uie bill accord with those principles. Those measurea established and rest upon the great principles of self government, that the people should bo allowed to decide the qnesUoas of their domestic institution* for Uieinselves, subject only to inch limitations and restriction* are imposed by the Constitution of the United dtatea, instead of having thooi determined by an arbitrary or geographical line.
The original reported by the committee as a substitute for the bill, Introduced by the Senator from Iowa, [Mr. Dodgej was believed to have accotnplishdd this object. The amendment which was subsequently reported by us was only designed to render Utal clear and specific which seemed in the minds of aome, to admit of doubt and misconstrueliou. 1 some parts of the country the original substitute waa deemed and conatrued to be an annulment or a repeal of what has been known as the Missouri compromise, while in other parta it was otherwise construed. As the object of the com-
mil lee was lo conform to the principles established by the compromise measures of I8&0, and to carry those principles into effect in the territories, we thought it better te recite in the bill precisely what we understood to have been accomplished by those measures, vix that the Missouricomprotnise, having been supersvded by the legislation of 1950, has become and ought to be declared inoperative and hence we propose to leave the question lo the people of the States and the territories, subject only lo lo the liniititattons and provisaona of the ConsUtution.
Sir, this la all that I Indended to say, if the question had been taken np for consideration on Tussday last but since that tiina occurrences have transpired which compel me to go more fully into the discussion. It will be borne in mind that llto Senator from Ohio, [Mr. Chase] then objected to the consideration of the bill, and aaked for i(a postponement until thia day, on the ground that there had not been time lo underatand and consider iu provisions: and the Senator from Maaaachnsets [Mr. Snmner] suggested (hat (he postponement should be (or oue week for th*t' purpose These suggestions seeming to be reasonable, in the oplnlon of senators around me, I yielded to their request, and consented to the postponement of the bill until this day.
Sir, little did I suppose, at the time that I granted that act of courtesy to those senators, that they had drafted and published lo ihe world a document over their own Signatures, in which they arraigU'sd me as having been guilty of a criminal betrayal of my trust, aa haviug been guilty of an act of bad faith and had been engaged in an atrocious plot against the cause of free goverment— Little did I suppose that those two senators had been guilty of such conduct, when Uiey callod upon me to grant that courtesy, to give them an opportunity of investigating the substitute reported by the committee. 1 have since discovered thnt on (hat very moruing the
National Era,
the ab
olition organ In this city, contain an address, signed by certain abolition confederates, to the people, iu which the bill is grossly misrepresented, in which the action of ihtt committee is grossly perverted, In which our motives are arraigned and our character calumniated. And, sir, what is more, 1 find that there was a postscript added to the address, published that very morning, in which the principal amendment reported by the committee was set out, aod then coarse epithets applied to me by name. Sir, had I known those facts at the lime I granted that act of Indulgence, I should have responded ta the request of thoee senators in such terms as their couduct deserved, so far aa the rates of the Senate and a respect far my own
der to ahow tbe character of this document, of which I shall have much to say ia tbe coarse of my argument, 1 will read certain passages: "We anaiga thi* Mil a* a pes* violation af a sacred pledge} s* a criminal betrayal of pterioa* right* a* part tml parrel of aa atnwtoo* pM to exclude from a vast nooe-i-npied nglm emlmat* Ava the Old world, aod free labornr* from oar own Itrtaa aad ecamt II Into a dreary ragioa of daspotigm, tohabttad by awstefs sad *lava*.*'

Mr. ooolas. Sir, if the Seaator does interpose, ia violation of the rates of the Senate, a denial af the fact, It tnay be that I shall ba able to nail that deaial, as I shall tha atateaeata ia this add res* which are over hia own aignalnr?, as a wicked fabrtcatiou, aad prove it by the solemn legislation of this coautry.
Mr. ass. I call the Seaator ta order. Hie Pontoon*. The Seaator from Illinois la oertainlv oat of order.
Mr. Dotoui. Thaa I will ouly aay that I shall confine myself to this docamont, and prove its statements to be false by the legislation of tbe country. Certainly that te in order.
Mr. Cum. Voa cannot do it. Mr. DocaiAK.. The argument of this maaifeate is predicated upon itt assumption that the fathers of the republic was to prohibit slavery ia all the territory eeeded by the old Sutoe to the Union, and made LTuited States territory, for the purpose of being organized into new States. I take issue npon that statement. Such waa not the practioe in the eatfly history of the government. It Is true that in tbe territory northwest of the Ohio river slavery was prohibited by the ordinance of 17r7 but it ia also true that in tha territory south of the Ohio river, slavery was permitted and protected and it is also true that In the organisation of the territory of Mississippi, ia
the provisions of
1796,
the ordinance of
ware applied ta it, with
17£T7
exception of the sixUi article, which prohibited slavery. Then, air, you find on the *tatute-booki under Washington and the early President*, provisions of law showing that in the soulhwestern territories the right to hold slaves was clearly implied or recognised, while in the northwast territories it was prohibited. The only conclusion that can be fairly and honesUy drawn from that legislation is, that It was the policy of the fathers of the republic to prescribe a line of demarkation between free territoriea and alavo-holding territories by a natural or a geographical line, being sure flu be.
to make that li&e correspond, as noar aa migl to the laws of climate, of production, and all those other cauaea that would control lite institution and make it either deeireable or uffleaireabla to the people iuhnbiUng the respective territoriea
Sir, I wiah you to boar in miud, too, that this geographical line, "established by the fou* .era of the republic belwneu the free territoriea wnd slave territoriea, extended aa far weatwurd aa our territory then reached the object being to avoid all agitation upon Uie qaestion by aetUing that qligation forever, as far as our terri(ory extended, which waa (hen (o (he Mississippi river.
When, in 1803, we acquired from France lbs territojy known aa Louisiana, it became nooeaaary to legislate for the protection of the Inhabitants residing therein. It will be seen, by looking into the bill ealablishlng the territorial government in 1805 for the territory of New Orleans, embracing the same country now known as the State of Louisiana, that the ordinance of 1787 was expressly extended tb that territory, excepting the sixth section, whiclv prohibited slavery. That act implied that tha territory 'of New Orleans waa to be a alaveholtiing territory by making that exception iu the law. But, sir, when they came to form whal waa then called the territory of Louislana, subsequently known as the territory of Missouri, north of tbe thirty-third parallel, they used different language. They did not extend to it any of the provlalons of the ordinance of 1787.— They first provided that It ahonid be governed by laws made by the governor and tbe judgps, arid when iu 1812 Congress gave to that territory, uuder the name of the territory of Miasourl, a territorial government, the people were allowed to do as they pleased upon tha subject of slnvery, subject only to the limitations of the Constitution ol the United States. Now what Is the inference from that legislation? That slavery was,by Implicat lo«. recognised aouth of the thirty-third parallel and north of that the people were left lo rxercise their own judgment and do as (hey pleased upon the subject, without any Implication for or against the existence of the institution.
This continued lobe the condition of the country in the Miimouri Territory up (o 1820. when (he celebrated ac( which is uow called (lie Missouri compromise waa passed. Slavery did not existed in, nor waa it excluded from the country now known as Nebraska. There was no code of iawa upon the aubjeel of slavery' either way First, for the reason that slavery had never been Introduced Iota Louisiana, and established by po* iUve enactment it had grown up there by a sort of common law, and been supported and protected.— When a common law grows ap, when an Institution become* eatabllsed by direct enactment. It might have carried it so far as tbe political jurisdiction extended but be that as it may, by the act of 1812, creating the Territory of Missouri, th et territory wa*. allowed to legislate npon the sahject of slavery as it aaw proper, subject only to the limitation which 1 have stated and the country not inhabited or thrown open lo settlement was aet apart
Indian country and rendered subject te Indian Iawa. Hanoe, the local legislation of the Slate of Missouri did not raach into that Indian country, but was excluded from it by the Indian code and Indian laws. The municipal regulations el Missouri could net go there until the Indian title had bean extinguished, and the ao entry thrown opeii to shtliemaat. Such being the ease, the only legislation in existence la Nebraska Territory at the time that the Miseegri act passed, namely, 6th of Marsh, 1890, was a provision, in offset, th.tt the people shoa£d be allowed te do as lh»y pleased upon the subject ef slavery.
Tbe Territory ef Missouri having beea left in that legal cendiUea, positive opposition waa uie to (he bill to organise a State government, with a v*ew te Its adminrton into U*« lTaion end

It will be aeon that It contains a very remarkable provision, which U, that when States IVmj north ef 36 degrees 30 minutee apply for admission, slavery shall be prohibited ia their constitutions. I dresume no one pretends that Congress could have power thas lo fetter a State applying for admission into this Union bat it was necessary to preserve the principle «f the Missouri compromise line, in order that tt might aft»rwards be extended, and it waa aapponod that while Congrwas had no {tower to impose any each limitation, V«t aa that was a compact with the State of Texas, that Stale coo id consent for herself that, wheu any portion of hor ewn territory, nubject to her own jeriodicUonand control, applied for admission, iter constitution should be ia a particular form but that provision wuild not be binding on the new State one day after it was admitted Into the Union, "lite other provision was thai such Stale* as should lie south of 36 degrees 90 miautee should come into Ute Union with or without slavery aa each should decide in its constitution. Then, by that art, the Missouri compromise was extended indefinitely westward, ao far as lite State of Texas weut, that Is, to the Rio del Norte for our Government at tbe time recognised the Rio del Norte as its boundary. We recognised, in many ways, and among (hem by even paying Texas for i( ten millioua ol dollars, ia order that it might bo Included iu and form a portion of the Territory of New Mexico.
Ihen, air, in 184^, we acquired from Mexico the country between tha Rio del Norte aud (lie Pacific ocean. Immediately after that acquisition, the Senate, on my own motion, voted iuio a bill a provision (o exteud (he Missouri compromise iniefiniteiy westward to (he Pacific ocean, Iu ihe same sense and With (he nsme understanding witii which i( was originally adopted. That provisiou passed tills body by a decided majorty, 1 think by teu at least, and went to the llotise of Representatives, aud waa defeated there by northern votea.
Now, sir, lot a* pause and conalder for a moment. Ti»e first litne that the principles of the Missouri compromise wore ever abandoned, the first time tliey were ever rejected by Cougrves, was by the defeat of that provision in the House of Represeutalivea in 1H. By whom wit* that defeat effectedT By northern votes with freesoil proclivities. It was the defeat of thai Missouri compromise that reopened the slavery agitation with all Its fury. It was the defeat of llint Missouri compromise lhat created the tremendous struggle of 18&0. was (he drfuat of that Missouri compromise that created the necessity for makiug a new compromise in 1450. 11 id we been fulthfui to the principles of the Missouri compromise iu 184^ till* question would not have arisen. Who was it thnt was faithless? I undertake to say it was the very men who now lutUal Ih-il the Missouri compromise wes a solemn compact and shonld never be violated or departed from. Every man who la now assailing the principle of the bill uuder consideration, ao Iwr aa 1 am advised, was oppowed to the Missouri compromise In 1H48. The very men who uow arraign ma for a departure from the Missouri compromise are the men who successfully violated It, repudiated it and caused It (o he superseded by (he compromise measures of 1850. bir.Jt Is with railier bad grace that the men who proved Inilhless themselvos should charge upon me aad others, who were ever faithful, the rosponsi bill ilea and consequences of their own (rouchery.
Then, air, as I before remarked, the defeai of (he Miaaourl cotnpromisf In 1H4^ haviug created (ha necossity lor the establishment of a new oue in 1850, lei us see what that compromise was.
Tho leading feature of the compromise of 1850 was congressional non-lntervenCnn «.i to slavery In the Territories, that lh*» people In the T«rrito ries, and of all the Stales were lo he allowed to do as they pleased upon the subject of slavery, subject ouly to the ptovlsious of the Constitution of Uie United Steles.
That, sir, wits the leading feature of tb* compromise measures of 1850. Phase mwurw, therefore, abandoned the tdeaof a g.wgraphicsl line aa the boundary between free Stites a8,1 slave States abandoned It because compelled to do it from an inability to ma
IU
tain It and in lieu of thsl substi
tuted a great principle of self-government, which would allow the people to do as they thought proper. Now the question Is, when lhat new compromise, resting upon lhat great fundamental principle of freedom,-was established, was it not au abandonmenl of tiie old oue—lite geographical Hue? Was it not a supereedara of the old one within the very language of the suhatitute for the bill which ia now uuder confederation? 1 say it did supersede It, because it applied ila provision* aa Weil to the uorth as to South of 36 degrens 30 minutes. It established a principle which was equally applicable lo the country north as welt as aouth of the parallel of 36 degrees 30 minutes—a principle of universal application. Tbe author* of thi* abolition manifesto attempted to refute this pressmptioo, and maintain that the compromise of 1850 did not supersede lhat of 1830, by quoting the proviso to tha first section of tha act to establish the Texan boundary, and create the Territory of New Mexico. Thai proviso was added, by way of seaoudment, on motion of Mr. Mason, of Virginia.
I repeat, thai in order to rebut Ute presumption, as before staled, that the Miasonri compromise waa abandoned aud superceded by the principle* of the compromise of 18S«, tiiesa coufetiarMtes cite the following amendmeat, offered to the hill to establish the boundary of Texas aad create the Territory ef New Mcxieo in 1850.

Do they not supersede it.1 ff the^dd. lhe« the aHdreas whieh has been put forth tethe world brthem coaiedenatee is an utrariona fataohood. If they do not, then what do ihey metn when they eharg* me with having, in the substitute first raaorted free* the committee, rejtealel It, with having annulled H, with having violated it, when 1 only eopi*.l Utoae preejaa words. I copied the praise words into my bill,as repnrtei from the rommiltee. whieh were contained in ih- New M«xi«e bill. T'hey say «ny biM anuitls the Missouri compromise. If it does.

I am now dealing with the (roth ind veracity of a combination of men wlto hive asaemblod in seoret caucus upon ibeSabhatit day to arraign ray conduct and belie my motives. I say, therefore, ttiat th-lr manifesto la a slander ellher «y for It *.ivs (hat (he Mi**oa I compromise was not's«ip-raH|«td~hy iht measures ol 1850, ami then ll says thnt th* sima words in my bill do r«p*»l ani snnnl It. Th most be adjudged guilty of one falseiioo 1 In order to aaataiu Ihe other aosertion.
Now, sir, 1 propose la go little furth er, an.^ ahow what was (ha r.-nl nteairing of (he mnnndm-iit of the senator from Virginlt, oWt of which ih«so gentlemen have maunfandimd a» much capu.il irf the newspaper pntss, an.l »va sn^oee iod by thnt misrepresxuuiiou In procuring an rxpr-.M»ion of opiuion from tho State of K!»*!.• M,»nd in opiMMitiou lo this bill. I will st a* what Its in -a-iiiig }•».
Did It inwin that lite States north of 36 |..» min. should have a clause iu their conatitutlan* proliibttiug slavery? I have idiown that it di.l not mean that, boaause the aanie act any sf im they might como in with sluvery, if ti»ey s'«w proper. I say it could not mean that lorau.uii:r roaton: fho same section t.ontaiuing lhal pr«ivi«,i out off all lit .t part of Texas north of 36 dog. 3,1 ,nin., and heno.» there was nothing for l( to Oj^ratx upon, ,|(J not, therefore, relate to (ha country nut
t,iF
What
did it relate to? Why, II meant simply tliiia: 0y the joint resolution of 1S45,
Tox
wis nation I,
with ihe right to farm four additional llt tier territory aud such Staloa wire south of .'Hi' ileg. 30 min. were to com# In with or without aiavery, as iliey saw proper aud Iu a,.wh Stn* or .Statea as were north of that liua slavery should lb* prohibited. Wneti we ha I cut otf id I north of 31? leg. 30 min., and thus circumscribed the boundary and diminished ihe territory of Pex.-u, thrt qmillion arose, how musty Slates will Tex*a be rniitl.«l I./ uuder (hlsclronmscriiMHl boundary. Certainly not four, II will be argued. Wny ii xsause the original resolution of annexation provide,! tint one of tlie Stoles, if not more, should lie north of 36 deg. 0 min. It would leave it, toen, doubtful wh -thor Texas was emitted to two or lhr«o a idltiou il Stateaa under the circumscribed lioundnry.
In order to put that matter nt rrst. In ord.»r lo nako a fiual seiilemeiK, iu order (o have ll explicitly cuderetood what was the iiixiiiiiug of Congre^x, tbe seuator from Virgiul ort'ire.l tlie nmeulmxiit that uotlilng theriu coitiaiued should impilr tint provision, either a* to tho utimW of St.ites or otherwise, thai is, that Texas should he euililed to (lie sama numlier of Suum with liar reditoed bound w" ries as she would have bo,n entitled to imdeV h«r larger boundaries and those State* alrill Coin* In' with or without slavery, as they might prefer,belngr ail *ou(h of 3b degress 30 iniuuies, mi uothiiiK to' impair that right siiall l*» luferrei from ilia pwsage of Ihe act Such, sir, is the meaning of thn( proposition. Any otiier oontriicilon »f it would stultify the Very diameter ami purpose of Its mover, the senator t'rotu Virjiuli. Smth, then, w«A not only the Intent of the mover, but such the' gal efffCt of the law aud I say tbul no man, af ler roa«iiug tha oilier seotloiis of the bill, ibo«t lo which 1 have referred, can doubl I'nit such wue both tho intent aud tha lejril etfV.i of lint law.
Then I submit lo the Senate If I iuva nol convicted till inifosto, Issued hy the nboliliou con-fitdi'riili-a, of boing a gritaa fnUli^Mllon of tlie law* of the land, aud hy tliit »lii!i :.itluu llint mi urrouedits and injurious Improsston iias ne.,u created upon the public liiinJ. 1 am sorty lo bocompellmi to indulge Iu language of sovorily but there ia im' other lailgu tgL thai is adeq it.) to oxpreM (Mr ii^tiMiinii with which' I tills itti'»pt, nol only lo ml*lenl the public, but lo uriilj(ii my clinrat-ter by doliberate lalaiticatlou of (ho pttollc s(i(utes and lh« public records.
In order la give greater planafblllly lo the falsification of llin term* of lh« com^ro iilae iivtwuro* of 1850, the confederate* nlno dcclnre In ilimr imiiifeato tliat ihey (lh» territorial hills for the organizutioii of Utah and N»w Mexico) ''iipplle-i lb the territory acquired from VI •slco,und totnat only. Tliey were intended as a «i'lll«iii.Mit of Ih-t ouiuroversy growing out of thai n:qtli-hf mi, an I of that cuuiraversy only. They mu»i aUo.l or fail by their owu morlts." 1 submit to tiia Senate if there hn Intelligent man Iu Amerioa who does not kuow that lhaf declaration i« fai«ift-«d by tile »UI.iI»m from which ih«»y ara quuted. 'Fliey say iiiat the privi»lm4 that bill woe coufiued to the territory acquired from Mexico, when tbe very s«otiu! of the law from which they quoted tisat proviso did purchase a part of that very territory from the Httie of Tease. Aud the iii-xt section of tho I is included tha^ territory, in the new Territory of Mexico, it took a small portion also of the old LoitUinnu purchtse, and added lhat lo tho Territory of N*w iVt"(ioo, and made up the rest out of lite Maxiuau acquisitions. T'lien, *lr, your xbiUite* sliaw, whan applied lo the map of Ihecountry, that the Territory of New M«xlco waa composed of country acquired from Mexico, and also of territory ii.':|u|reii iro'ii' Texas, end niso of territory acqUireU I'r intrt anti yet In defiance of lhat statute, and In f.iUificatlon of Its terms, we are tot.i, In or.i«r to Uie people, that the blila wero couiin-sd lo the purchase tn.Kie Iroin Mexico alone au I Iu order to give it a greater solemnity, they repeat it :«1ce, (earing tnat it would not Ik» !-•!i v.sd m« fil-st ti n.,.1 What is more, the Territory of (J tn e'oa uil confined to tlie country ot-quirod from •xoto Tn it territory, as is weil kuosru to every
