Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, Vol. 5: Comprising Portions of His Diary From 1795 to 1848 March 1st, 1820. - I was at the President´s. The Missouri slave question has come to its crisis in Congress. The majorities in the two Mouses are on opposite sides, and there are Committees of Conference to effect a compromise. 2d. The compromise of the slave question was this day completed in Congress. The Senate have carried their whole point, barely consenting to the formality of separating the bill for the admission of the State of Maine into the Union from that for authorizing the people of the Territory of Missouri to form a State Government. The condition that slavery should be prohibited by their Constitution, which the House of Representatives had inserted, they have abandoned. Missouri and Arkansas will be slave States, but to the Missouri bill a section is annexed, prohibiting slavery in the remaining part of the Louisiana cession north of latitude 36° 30´. This compromise, as it is called, was finally carried this evening by a vote of ninety to eighty-seven in the House of Representatives, after successive days and almost nights of stormy debate. 3d. Went with Mrs. Adams to the Capitol Hill, and viewed Sully´s picture of the passage of the Delaware by General Washington, 25th December, 1776, now exhibited in the building lately occupied by the two Houses of Congress.
