THE wILMor PRoviso AND Mr.. POLK
When the Missouri discussion took place
there were many persons who denied The
constitutional right Of Congress to prohib
il slavery in the territories OF the United
States. There were others who insisted
equally as violently, that Congress had
that power. The line Of SO 80 was bnai.
ly adopted, not as a constitutional line, toI
strangely enough the extreme Of both par
: ! lies contend that it violated the Constitu
ton, but as a compromise, for the sake o
peace. The Democrats ofihe South hav
j always protested to belong to tina, ex,rem
> which declared that the Constitution al
: lowed any citizen to carry his property
. slaves or any other description, into aoy c
i. the territories belonging 10 the U. State:
. They have protested also, to be Statistic
with the compromise, because II secure
e peace, and prevented the Union from bein
!. wrecked amid the jarrius elements OF fac
ton. They have always protested agains
the consii,utionality of the compromise.
q Mr.. Polk, their own nominee, shot
II they and their platform have endorsed q
the exponent of their opinions, has sisne

,e of compromise, bu. absolutely and u
