SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES.
Oar title TO Oregon being based mainly
on the purchase Of Louisiana from France
and the rights Of slave property having ex.
is,ed IN that Territory al the period of lis
transfer 10 the United States, the sppllca
ton of the provisions OF the ordinance OF
1871 to Oregon, was legitimate subject
of congressional legislation, whenever q
territorial government should be created
there. Accordingly, slavery was lnierdic.

session ofCongress, AL the northern mem.
bers, and some even Of the Democrats from

Cass would likewise have done under simi

! No action of Congress is therefore requi.

free territories. they being already such by

says, ia that letter, that he is opposed to
the Interference of Congress with the CUES
ton Of slavery 10 the territories; and the
Vanbureni,es infer, hence, pledge TO vote
a bill excluding II thereirom. By parity
of reasoning then, he would be equally
pledged TO veto bill establishing it there,
because tina, would be still more palpabla
