Mr. WADE. There certainly is a kind of opposition made to the admission of this State that I did not contemplate, and as long as I have been on this ComTerritor I never have known so many technicalities interposed to such a measure. What are the tech nical dilficulties in the way of these people getting into the Union? Gentlemen have be. come very critical and very nice, and they scrutinize these proceedings very much as they would an indictment if a man was indicted for murder. They scrutinize it in the same way. 1st we passed an enabling act whereby we left it in the discretion of the Governor of Nobraska to assemble the people there together, and to form a constitution at his discretion. They met. Now, what should he have done? They say he should not have assembled the Legislature at all; that was abad way of doing the business. He brought the legislature together. They prescribed the mo e of takin the sense of the people upon this subject; and in their law they went on to provide the way and manner in which the people should vote upon the subject of the constitution. They made a constitution, they submitted it to the people, and the certificate shows that they voted upon it; the vote is given; and now all that can be said against it is that the vote was not. as large as gentle incn think it on lit to be upon an important subject; and they insinuate that this action was not under the enabling set. What is the resumption? We enabled them to go forward) and make a.constitution, authorizing the Governor to perform the business ad liliilum, for we did not restrict him as to time, place, circumstance, or manner; we left all to im. He went on and he submitted the question to a vote. A constitution was made; it was submitted to the people by a vote; they adopted it; and yet it is said they did not act under the enabling act. The people had the constitution before them; itivas duly published; everybody knew what it. was; the election was held upon its adoption, and the Governor cer tifies to us the result of that election; and now for the technicality. Do not gentlemen know that States have been admitted into this Union without any enabling act? Was there any when Michigan came in? Have not gentlemen read the elaborate and able opinion of the AttyGen, Mr. Butler, upon that subject at the time in which he‘came to the conclusion, and the Tresident and Congress sustained him throughout, that an enabling act was not essential, that we might take a constitution that a people had made of their own will and in their oWn way, and if they had made ii constitution that was satisfactory to them, Congress could approve of it as well after it was made as enable them to go forward and make it beforehand? It makes no difference, not but what this was made and designed to be made in accurdance with our enabling act; but if it were otherwise hero is a plain, fair constitution submitted to that people, the certificate of the Governor as to the votes they gave, and nothing except the ghost of a rumor to show that it was not fairly done; and now what shall we do? Shall we defeat the will of these people who have sent their Senators here to represent them by the assent and approval of the whole community that voted for their constitution? You hear no remonstrance, nothing from the Territory of Nebraska, but you hear it from Indiana. Indiana is afraid that the people of Nebraska are going to suffer somehow. The people of Nebraska are not apprehensive nbout that. Here are her Senators, able mcii; thero isa Representative in the other House already, prompt, and eager to 2nd the votes of the majority that ratified this constitution; and yet gentlemen from other States become the guard ians of these people and think they have made some mistake there and ought not;to have voted for their constitution, or it was somehowanot submitted to them properly. They do not say so. 'I do not wish to continue this talk about referring this bill back for us to investigate whether there is fraud in the election or not, upon no suspicion of any sort except that a gentleman says he has heard or read in some paper that there was some fraud. I hope we shall have a vote and I hope we shall admit the State.
