Mr. SAULSBURY. I shall occupy the at tention of the Senate but a moment. I wish simply to say that if I could vote for the admission of Colorado under the circumstances, I should do so with great pleasure; because I find one fact connected with the history and character of that people that commends itself to my most favomble consideration. I find that there are at least 8 or 9 sensible men in that Territory to one of a contrary character; because when the proposition to allow negro suffrage was submitted to the people of that Territory, there were 4, 102, accordin to the statement laid on our tables, oppose to it, and only 4761unatics in the whole lerritory in favor of it. [Laughter] That is a fact that commends itself to my most favorable consideration; and had Colorado, in my judgment, a sufficient number of inhabitants to be entitled to admission into the Union, I would most cheerfully vote for her admission, because I think she has presented in this vote the evidence of the good sense of her people. Mr. President, the bill under consideration proposes to admit Colorado into the Union. The very statement of the reposition awak ens some very serious thoughts for reflection. There are 11 States that I thought were in this Union, that] never knew were out of the Union, some of them original actors in the formation of this Government and without whose action the Federal Union never would have been formedfwhose representatives today are knocking at ymr doors for admission into this Hall and you reject them. You present a proposition to the Congress of the U.S. proposing to recognize them as members of the federal Union upon certain terms and conditions. Then, sir, where is the Union into which you propose to admitColorado? Is it into the Union formed by your fathers? No, sir; butyou propose to admit her into a Union with some of the States, but not into a Union composed of all the States. Iprefer that when Colorado shall be admitted into the Union, she shall be admitted into the Union as we have heretofore understood and known it to be, as our fathers intended it should be, and not into a artial Union with a certain limited number of States. I shall not detain the Senate by any argument on this subject. I shall contentmy self with voting against the bill.
