Excerpt from The Landmark of Freedom: Speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, Against the Repeal of the Missouri Prohibition of Slavery North of 36 30, in the Senate, February 21, 1854 But I do not dwell on these things. These pretences have been already amply refuted by able Senators who have prece ded me. It is clear, beyond contradiction, that the Prohibition ofslavery in this Terri tory has not been superseded or in any way contravened by the Slavery Acts of 1850. The proposition before you is, therefore, original in its character, without sanction from any former legislation, and it must, accordingly, be judged by its merits, as an original proposition.
