John Bell, of Tennessee, on the Nebraska and Kansas Bill: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, May 24 and 25, 1854 Mr. Bell.1 I know' some Senators spoke of it'as itdoes not matter in what terms that compromise is denounced. My object was to know what was the great principle to be established by this bill; which was so'important that'honorable Senators would sacrifice their own opinions and principles upon 'other questions, in order to effect that object. 'my honorable friend from Missouri [mr. Atcpiison] said that if the bill contained a thousand objectionable features, they would not prevent him' from voting to get rid'of that 'infamous Missouri, compromise. -if such viewsa-if' that was the only ob'ect - had been avowed at the outset of this procee ing', how many supporters do you think the bill would have had even from the South? I believe, though I am not certain, that the honorable Senator from South Carolina [vir. Butler] expressed the same senti ments in his remarks upon the Nebraska bill, be fore it passed the Senate. That honorable Senator said, that to repeal the Missouri compromise Would be plucking a thorn from his side which had been a long time i'ankling there, and that that consideration, recommended the bill to his favor.
