(Specially Prepared for the Western News
paper l'n on.]
The annually recurring Memorial
Day is nowhere more patriotically ob
served than in Kansas and Nebraska.
When the call came for volunteers, those
young territories were among the first
to respond, and the regiments they
furnished fought with bravery and gal
lantry inferior to none. They were es
sentially loyal territories, and their few
thousand inhabitants furnished more
recruits to the population than many
New England and Middle states. Then,
too, Nebraska and Kansas are largely
settled by the veterans of the civil war
and their descendants—more largely
than sister commonwealths east and
west. It is bat natural, therefore, that
the most hallowed holiday, the tribute
of a nation to the loyalty of its defend
ers, should be so patriotically kept in
these two states.
Hut aside from feelings of gratitude
to the fallen, and of reverence to de
parted comrades, Memorial Day pos
sesses a peculiar interest'for the citizens
of Nebraska and Kansas—not less patri
otic or grateful because so particularly
local. It was a most felicitous chance
that placed Memorial Day on the an
niversary of the Nebraska and Kan
sas bill, for it is certainly fitting to
observe the last sacred rites of our civil
war on the anniversary of one of the
material factors in preparing the nation
avi vuai war. ±ne dui aia more man
organize two frontier territories; it
pushed aside the compromises of the
past, and joined slavery and freedom
in mortal combat
In 1844, public attention was first di
rected to the “Nebraska Country,” as
the vast prairies of the Louisiana pur
chase yet unorganized, extending from
the Missouri to the Rockies, and from
the compromise line 3ti degrees 30 min
utes to the British possessions were
popularly called. At that time, peti
tions were presented to congress, ask
ing that this country be organized into
a territory with the name "Nebraska.”
Though advocated by such a man as
Stephen A. Douglas, the prayer of the
petitions was totally unheeded. The
vast expanse—greater in extent than
the present two largest states—was
given over to the murderous Indian
tribes, and had no white inhabitants
who were not legally trespassers. The
trackless plains were unexplored and
popularly supposed to be an arid waste.
But with the wild rush to the west in
’40, the country became better known;
the Indians more under subjection; and
settlers multiplied akuig the rivers of
the prairies no longer regarded as des
ert. With the increase <of population,
came a more favorable reception to the
requests for the organization of a trans
Missouri territory, La oh -congress up
to the thirty-second considered the mat
ter, but until the second session of that
congress, the proposals -did not get be
yond the committee stage.
A week alter -the opening of
that session, on the 13 th of De
cember, 1852, Representative Wil
lard P. Rail, of Missouri, intro
duced a bill for -the organization of the
‘•Territory at the Platte” to comprise
what in former proposals had been
-called “Nebraska.” For nearly two
months the -bill was >under the consid
eration of the committee on territories,
which then reported it back with the
raise changed to "Nebraska.”
The bill met the bitterest opposition
of the -southern -members. By the
terms of .the Missouri compromise of
1820. the territorial location of Ne
braska would eventually secure its ad
mission as a free state. Tb is the south
ern members were determined to pre
if MM._l_ at_>. » «

been favored by war and by legislation,
it was-still insatiate. The war of 1812,
the Missonri-compromise. the annexa
tion of Texas, .the Mexican war, the
compromises of 1850, had all been
brought about by ithe efforts of the
slave-bolding south, and intended to
redound to seational advantage. Yet
the south had lost by ail these attempts
The north ,now had control of the sen
ate, and the slave power could no longer
dietatemeasureskwithout making north
ern alliances For these reasons, the
south resisted further extensions of free
state territory, and as long as the Mis
souri compromise remained effective,
would oppose .the organization of the
Nebraska country from motives of
policy.
Many northern .members were op
posed to .the-passage of the bill on ac
count of its conflicting with existing
treaties with the Indian .tribes guaran
teeing them .the occupancy of the land.
Again, .they .argued that the population
eras inaufliaicnt, and to organize such
a territory would only impose a need
less burden upon the national treasury.
If it was urged that the country was
now populated by .thousands of indus
trious inhabitants, ithey answered that
the laws of .the times made all Buch
trespassers and law tweakers.
In tlie committee of the whole house,
the rejection .of the bill was recom
mended, but in seine unexplicable man
ner, its friends managed to prevent its
defeat at that stage, .and scoured its
passage by a vote of tiS.to 43.
On the next day the bill was sent to
the senate. There it met a strongly
organized opposition determined <on its
defeat. In the usual course, it was re
ferred to Senator Douglas' committee
on territories, and after that all efforts
to secure a report were unavailing, in
the closing hours of the session the
friends of the bill became desperate.
On the last day but one, a motion to
take it up for action was lost by a close
vote, 30 to 25. The next day, in the
last hours, another attempt was made
to bring up the bill. This time its
friends were but too successful, for
it was taken up and tabled to prevent
further waste of the few precious mo
ments left of the dying session by their
filibustering.
> On the following day, Franklin
llsrce was inaugurated president. Mr.
Pitrw was a democrat, a resident of
New Hampshire. Ilia election over
Ueneral Scott, the whiff candidate, had
been so triumphant that the nation
had (food cause W express its astonish'
meat. The campaign had been with
out issues Both parties were in union
in regarding the compromise measures
of IS jo, relative to the admission of
California, as a final settlement of the
slavery question. Each presidential
candidate expressed his hope that the
dangerous discussion had been forever
closed, and the inauffurai address of
Pierce declared the strife ended, and
• expressed the president’s determination
to prevent its renewal.
Kor several months, the country en
joyed a second era of good feeling.
The politicians of the day had no
troublesome issues of national impor
tance over which to quurrel. Pierce
was popular, and exercised rare tact in
the selection of his cabinet advisers.
. But the slavery question was only ap
parently settled, for a few months later
the agitation was to be renewed in all
its terrible strength and animosity by
the faction which had most strenuously
insisted on the finality of the comprom
ises oflgja
On the 5th of December, 1833, the 33d
congress met in its first session. The
organization of the senate had scarcely
been completed when an Iowa Senator,
Augustus C. Dodge, gave notice of
his intention to introduce a bill for the
organization of the territory of Ne
braska. The nextday President Pierce
submitted his message to congress.
After congratulating the country on
the successful settlement of the slavery
question as raised by the acquisition of
vast territory through the Mexican
war, he expressed a hope that the dis
! cussion was over, and announced his
I determination to prevent any further
! shock to the confederacy thereby.
I On the 14th, Senator Dodge intro
| duced his bill On examination it was
i iuuuu iv uc atiituu v lucuucui nnu
| the one so sarcastically killed at the
close of the preceding session. Noth
ing was said in any way as to slavery.
By implication, the Missouri compro
mise would govern, an’d the new terri
tory would come in us a free state.
After the first and second readings,
the bill was referred to the committee
on territories, with Douglas again
chairman. The next day after com
mitment, it was reported back with a
number of amendments Some of
these caused a mild sensation, for they
seemed plain enough, yet their import
was scarcely credible. On the 4th of
January, 1854, the committee made a
special report which left no doubt as to
the meaning of the amendments. The
committee unequivocally declared the
compromise of 1820 no longer oper
tive, it having been repealed as
inconsistent with 'the compromise
measures of 182a The latter,
the committee said, rested “upon
the great principles of self government,
that the people should be allowed to
decide the questions of their local in
stitutions for themselves." As a corol
lary, the right of congress to interfere
with slavery was denied.
An indignant protest came from every
hamlet and city of the north. For
more than thirty years, the compromise
of 1820 had stood so revered that it
seemed almost a part of the constitu
tion. At the time of its adoption, noth
ing else could have saved the country
from civil war. Though there had been
talk of its repeal, such had never been
seriously regarded. If such a compact
could be thrust aside from caprice, what,
assurance was there that the constitu
tion, the lives, the liberties of the na
tion were safe? It was as Sumner said;
the conscience of the people was
aroused.
The sudden, audacious change in the
bill is accounted for in two ways. By
some, it is alleged that in the preceding
congress, a conspiracy had been found
to give the south additional slave terri
tory. This theory supposes that the
Hall bill of that congress had been
killed to make way for a measure more
favorable to the slavery interests. This
seems plausible, as the new congress
was seated a day after the first bill was
tabled, and was well known to be of
strong slavery sympathies. Then,
many supposed tnat Mr. Dougins’
ambition for the Presidency had
led him to associate himself with
the most radical element of the domi
nant slaveocracy. But from whatever
motives amended, the committee's re
port speedily changed the conditions
and made those who had formerly
championed the measure its most uu
111* l n
On the second day after the special
report, Archibald Dixon. the late Whig
Governor of Kentucky and the succes
sor of llenry Clay in the senate, gave
notice that when the Nebraska bill
should come before the senate, he
would more it© amend, so that "The
Missouri-Compromise shall be repealed,
and that the .citizens of the several
states shall be at liberty to take and
hold their slaves within any of the ter
ritories.” Ills amendment was soon in
disfavor with those who would, if
trank, haveexpressed their satisfaction
with it. The uommittee had taken the
stand that .the.compromise of is'ju was
already repealed; Dixon's amendment
was too candid .in .openly raising the
real issue of repeal. Hut even if con
cealed in a mass of technical verbiage,
the only question before congress and
the country wassthe repeal of the Mis
souri compromise.
Four months the stormy debates pro
gressed. Each day made the issne
clearer on dhe .extension or limitation
of slavery. During the discussion,
agents of the Nebraska country arrived
in Washington, with petitions asking
the division of the proposed territory,
and suggesting that to avoid divid
ing the Cherokee country the boundary
be placed at 37-deg. instead of 30 deg.
30 min. These suggestions, recommend
ed by the lowatuad Missouri delegations,
weru adopted by the committee, and
the proposed territory .divided along
the 40th parallel into "Kansas” in
the south and "Nebraska'’ in the north.
This division further excited the
north. The avowed purpose of the
south was to secune Kansas, the south
ern territory, and to contemptuously
give Nebraska to the free states. Fur
ther, the two territories would be twice
i us expensive as one, and one territorial
| government was thought to be a need
j less luxury. The slave-holders coveted
i Kansas It was of easy ucc#ss to Mis
| souri and Texas, slave states, it was
by climate better adapted to the Degro.
Nebraska was too frigid, and too much
surrounded by free territory to be of
great desirability to them, liut the
north was determined to prevent either
territory becoming slavery ground, and
desperately contested every inch.
The bill passed the senate after four
months debate,substantially as reported
by the committee. An intendment by
I Senator Chase, making the apparent
I issue just what the disguised issue was,
| the repeal of the Clay compromise, was
i defeated. Senator Clayton of Delaware,
1 on the day before the passage of the
! hill, amended by disfranchising and
! making ineligible to office foreigners
i who had merely declared their in
; ten lions' of becoming citizens With
this amendment, the bill passed by
! a wte of 3? to 14. The southern
I whips joined the democratic senator*
! in supporting the measure, now a test
| of loyalty to the administration.
, On Jauuary 31st, a week or so after
; the report of the committee dividing
the proposed territory into Knnsaa and
Nebraska, Chairman Richardson of the
house committee on territories, reported
a bill which had been recommended by
; a majority of theoomraittce, and which
, became the subject of ns much debate
as the senate bill. The condition of
the public mind, in the meantime, soems
j incredibly excited. Citizens of every
| condition; clergymonof every creed; so
cieties of every kind; legislatures of
many states petitioned congress in op
position to the bilk The excitement
| about the time the bill passed the sen
ate was intense, but as unpopular
| amendments appeared to insure its do
i feat in the house, the public mind once
more becamo qnieted. The discussion
was resumed on the Sth of May, after
Mr. Richardson offered the senate bill
as an amendment to the coinmittee'a
bill. Public interest was re-awakened
in an intensified degree. That fort
night of national anxiety was never
equalled in any time of peace or war.
On the 33d of May, the bill was placed
on its final passage in the house. A
last desperate effort was made to pre
vent a vote. Every conceivable means
of dilatory procedure was tried in vain
to prevent the inevitable. The house
was in session nearly twelve hours, and
in that time no less than twenty-nine
roll calls were demanded and ordered.
Just-before midnight, the roll was called
for the last time, and the house commit
tee's substitute bill passed by a vote of
113 to 10U This bill was Identioal with
the senate measure la all its provis
ions, except the Clayton amendment,
which was ommitted.
on the 33th, tb$ senate took up the
house substitute The opposition rec
ognized the uselessness of further at*
temp to* secure its defeat, and sol
emnly warned the majority of the
effects of the odious measure. It was
finally passed at the end of a thirteen
hour session. No roll call was ordered,
but the dilatory motions during the
night session showed that the bill had
neither made nor lost votes since its
first passage by the senate. The final
passage was really at 1 o'clock on Sun
day morning, the 2«th day of May, but
the senate was still sitting in the legis
lative session of the 25th. Thursday,
the 30th of May, 1851, President Pierce
approved the bill. The long struggle
ceased with universal ill feeling that
lasted until the close of the war struck
at the root of the trouble; Bnd two more
frontier territories were duly organ
ized.
The effects of the bill seem scarcely
conceivable. The whig party was wiped
out of existence, and the democratic
party suffered most terrible northern
losses. A new party sprang up, a big
oted, secret organization that soon
sank back into forgetfulness. Party
lines were then in reality drawn on the
slavery or bondage of the negro, what
ever were the nominal issues. The dis
cussion may have been unnecessarily
revived, but its effect was tremendous.
In the forty years of their organized
government, Nebraska and Kansas
have made most marvelous progress
Although shorn of much of their former
territory, the population is now mill
ions to the thousands of those days
The rough ox cart has given way to
the luxurious overland flyer; the pine
