The Senate Committee, to whom the bill was referred, reported the same to the Senate on the 19th of February, when that body voted first upon a motion to strike out of the proviso all after the word " convicted," which was carried by a vote of 32 to 7. It then voted to strike out the first entire clause, which prevailed -22 to 16, thereby defeating the proviso.
The House declined to concur in the action of the Senate, and the bill was again returned to that body, which in turn refused to recede from its position. The bill was lost and Congress adjourned. This

was most unfortunate for the country. The people having already been wrought up to fever heat over the agitation of the que-tion in the National Couneils, now became intensely excited. The press added fuel to the flame, and the progress of events seemed rapidly Reading to the dawnfall of our nationality.
A long interval of nine months was to ensue before the meeting of Congress. The body indicated by its vote upon the " Missouri Ques- tion," that the two great sections of the country were politically divided upon the subject of slavery. The restrictive elause, which it was sought to impose upon Missouri as a condition of her admission, would in all probability, be one of the conditions of the admission of the Territory of Arkansas. The public mind was in a state of great doubt and uncertainty up to the meeting of Congress, which took place on the 6th of December, 1819. The memorial of the Legisla- tive Conneil and House of Representatives of the Missouri Territory, praying for admission into the Union, was presented to the Senate by Mr. Smith, of South Carolina. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Some three weeks having passed without any action thereon by the Senate, the bill was taken up and discussed by the llouse until the 19th of February, when the bill from the Senate for the admission of Maine was considered. The bill for the admission of Maine included the " Missouri Question," by an amendment which read as follows :
"And be it further enacted, That in all that territory ceded by France to the United States, under the name of Louisiana, which lies north of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes, north latitude (except- ing such part thereof as is) included within the limits of the State, contemplated by this act, slavery and involuntary servitude, other- wise than in the punishment of crimes, whereof the party shall have been convicted, shall be and is hereby forever prohibited ; Provided, always, That any person escaping into the same from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed, in any State or Territory of the United States, such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed and conveyed to the person claiming his or her labor or services as aforesaid."
The Senate adopted this amendment, which formed the basis of the " Missouri Compromise," modified afterward by striking out the words, " excepting only such part thereof."
The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 24 to 20. On the 2d day of March the House took up the bill and amendments for consideration, and by a vote of 134 to 42 concurred in the Senate amendment, and

the bill being passed by the two Houses, constituted section 8, of "An Act to authorize the people of the Missouri Territory to form a Constitution and State Government, and for the admission of such Stato into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, and to prohilft slavery in certain territory."
This aet was approved March 6, 1820. Missouri then contained tif- teen organized counties. By act of Congress the people of said State were authorized to hold an election on the first Monday, and two suc- eeeding days thereafter in May, 1820, to select representatives to a State convention. This convention met in St. Louis on the 12th of June, following the election in May, and concluded its labors on the 19th of July, 1820. David Barton was its President, and Wm. G. Pettis, Secretary. There were forty-one members of this convention, men of ability and statesmanship, as the admirable constitution which they framed amply testifies. Their names and the counties repre- sented by them are as follows : -
Cape Girardeau. - Stephen Byrd, James Evans, Richard S. Thomas, Alexander Buckner and Joseph MeFerron.
Cooper. - Robert P. Clark, Robert Wallace, Win. Lillard.
Franklin. - John G. Heath.

Washington. - John Rice Jones, Samuel Perry, John Hutchings. Wayne. - Elijah Bettis.
On the 13th of November, 1820, Congress met again, and on the sixth of the same month Mr. Scott, the delegate from Missouri, pre- sented to the House the Constitution as framed by the convention.

The same was referred to a select committee, who made thereon a favorable report.
The admission of the State, however, was resisted, because it was claimed that its constitution sanctioned slavery, and authorized the Logidleture to pass laws preventing free negroes and mulattoes from settling in the State. The report of the committee to whom was referred the Constitution of Missouri was accompanied by a preanible and resolutions, offered by Mr. Lowndes, of South Carolina. The preamble and resolutions were stricken out.
The application of the State for admission shared the same fate in the Senate. The question was referred to a select committee, who, on the 29th of November, reported in favor of admitting the State. The debate, which followed, continued for two weeks, and finally Mi. Eaton, of Tennessee, offered an amendment to the resolution as fol- lows : -
" Provide.1, That nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to give the assent of Congress to any provision in the Constitution of Missouri, if any such there be, which contravenes that clause in the Constitution of the United States, which declares that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States."
The resolution, as amended, was adopted. The resolution and proviso were again taken up and discussed at great length, when the committee agreed to report the resolution to the House.
The question on agreeing to the amendment, as reported from the committee of the whole, was lost in the House. A similar resolution afterward passed the Senate, but was again rejected in the House. Then it was that that great statesman and pure patriot, Henry Clay, of Kentucky, feeling that the hour had come when angry discussions should cease,
" With grave Aspect he rose, and in his rising seem'd A pillar of state ; deep on his front engraver Deliberation sat and public care : And princely counsel in his face yet shone Majestic " *
* *
proposed that the question of Missouri's admission be referred to a committee consisting of twenty-three persons (a number equal to the number of States then composing the Union ), be appointed to act in conjunction with a committee of the Senate to consider and report whether Missouri should be admitted, etc.
36
HISTORY OF MISSOURI.
The motion prevailed ; the committee was appointed and Mr. Clay made its chairman. The Senate selected seven of its members to act with the committee of twenty-three, and on the 20th of February the following report was made by that committee : -
" Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled : That Missouri shall be admitted into the Union, on an equal footing with the original States, in all respects whatever, upon the fundamental condition that the fourth clanse, of the twenty-sixth section of the third article of the Constitution submitted on the part of said State to Congress, shall never be construed to authorize the passage of any law, and that no law shall be passed in conformity thereto, by which any citizen of either of the States in this Union shall be excluded from the enjoy- ment of any of the privileges and immunities to which such citizen is entitled, under the Constitution of the United States ; provided, That the Legislature of said State, by a Solemn Public Act, shall declare the assent of the said State, to the said fundamental condition, and shall transmit to the President of the United States, on or before the fourth Monday in November next, an authentic copy of the said act ; upon the receipt whereof, the President, by proclamation. shall an- nounce the fact ; whereupon, and without any further proceeding on the part of Congress, the admission of the said State into the Union shall be considered complete."
This resolution, after a brief debate, was adopted in the House, and passed the Senate on the 28th of February, 1821.
At a special session of the Legislature held in St. Charles, in June following, a Solemn Publie Act was adopted, giving its assent to the conditions of admission, as expressed in the resolution of Mr. Clay. August 10th, 1821, President Monroe announced by proclamation the admission of Missouri into the Union to be complete.

CHAPTER VII.
MISSOURI AS A STATE.
1
First Election for Governor and other State Officers - Senators and Representatives to General Assembly -Sheriffs and Coroners -- U. S. Senators - Representatives in Congress - Supreme Court Judges - Counties Organized - Capital Moved to St. Charles - Official Record of Territorial and State Officers.
By the Constitution adopted by the Convention on the 19th of July, 1820, the General Assembly was required to meet in St. Louis on the third Monday in September of that year, and an election was ordered to be held on the 28th of August for the election of a Governor and other State officers, Senators and Representatives to the General Assembly, Sheriff's and Coroners, United States Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress.
It will be seen that Missouri had not as yet been admitted as a State, but in anticipation of that event, and according to the provi- sions of the constitution, the election was held, and the General As- sembly convened.
William Clark (who had been Governor of the Territory ) and Alexander McNair were the candidates for Governor. McNair re- ceived 6,576 votes, Clark 2,556, total vote of the State 9,132. There were three candidates for Lieutenant-Governor, to wit : William H. Ashley, Nathaniel Cook and Henry Elliot. Ashley received 3,907 votes, Cook 3,212, Elliot 931. A Representative was to be elected for the residue of the Sixteenth Congress and one for the Seventeenth. John Scott who was at the time Territorial delegate, was elected to both Congresses without opposition.
The General Assembly elected in August met on the 19th of Sep- tember, 1820, and organized by electing James Caldwell, of Ste. Genevieve, speaker, and John MeArthur clerk ; William H. Ashley, Lieutenant-Governor, President of the Senate; Silas Bent, President, pro tem.
Mathias McGirk, John D. Cook, and John R. Jones were appointed Supreme Judges, each to hold office until sixty-five years of age.
Joshua Barton was appointed Secretary of State ; Peter Didier, State Treasurer ; Elward Bates, Attorney-General, and William Christie, Auditor of Public Accounts.
38
HISTORY OF MISSOURI.
David Barton and Thomas H. Benton were elected by the General Assembly to the United States Senate.
At this session of the Legislature the counties of Boone, Callaway, Chariton, Cole, Gasconade, Lillard, Perry, Ralls, Ray and Saline were organized.
We should like to give in details the meetings and proceedings of the different Legislatures which followed ; the elections for Govern- ors and other State officers ; the elections for Congressmen and United States Senators, but for want of space we can only present in a con- densed form the official record of the Territorial and State officers.
