I bill avoided action by Congress, batettll a p to that day,
' no one bad ariTaneod the doctrine that tbe Missouri Com

7th of Jannary, tbe act reported on tbe 4th wae publish

act we* again published la iha Sentinel with a twenty
Brit nectioo. Even thla section did not expressly allow

woold be remembered that tbe bill Bret appeared la theSe

Was then a Senat r present who waa la the Senate in

tbtre wai any snpereedore of the Missouri oompro

Senator from Virginia to say whether he then, rr at
any lima np to tbe 24!h of January, eeer heard such
doctrine exerted by any ore? When tbe flrit bill waa
reported 6,000 crp'es of the report of the commltteo
woie printed ana distributed. In that report the bill we*
justified cn very different grcuad* trim what it waa in
tbe aptecb of the Sena'or a far day* ago. Tbe Senator
had made an toane a* to the oorrectnesa of tbe itatement
Ociitl toed In tbe addre** ?lgned by the indapondrnt dems

partlcolare. It waa founded on troth. The Senator
?sight aa well attack Gibraltar. It waa Impregnable in
all It* particular i. The flrtt point waa that the oemoro

Mtxieo, and that by itippreialng tome facta and falti 'ylog
other*, there had been a plantl?le case made oat by the
addrrs*. That tbe* a it* were oonS ed to th* territory
aoqulred from Mexico tbe Serator denied. Th? c mmlc
