4 ADWS FMENF.o g -- .Hai
We have often wondered al the course
the Submission. leaders in this stale, have
pursued with reference to the question OF
slaVafy in she territories. The history Of
parties ia this country affords 40 parallel TO-
the completeness Of ths sun:nerset which
they have turned. Ia l543 they defined
tho'bolieyOf General Cas-; 10 be that OF
lesVin the question 70 be decided by hpaI
ing, auOrgaNized population; and properly
denounced H., as more insulting and wong
fll 10 the South lhan' the Wiih0l PrOvlsO.
The Democrats cOncurred with them in
this Opinioni Of the doctrine, bU bitterly de-
MED that Il was Advocated BY General Cas-;
and they pointed tO'his unfortunate NIchO-
con letter in which he declared that ''the
territories do not pOasess the attributes Il
sOVsreigHly," and consequently could no
decide the question whether or not slavery
should bec0ins an instiu iOn Of the country.
They contended that his doctine looked 10
the established 6fterritOrial governments la
aaceotdAnco with the previous policy OF tn.
eounlry; and that aftsr the people had be-
come Ssitlsd-.and had passed through the
usual territorial PuPilage-they should be
aulhOrizsdby Congress 80 establish Their
own organic laws.
Thus tOth parties were arrayed agains
the d0cirine which was carried out by the
last Congress. The Wings denounced it i
.any-Ihing more frequently and fercely lhal
did the Democrats. As a specimen Of thei
views upon this subject, we will direct th,
attention Of the reader 10 the following ex
tract Of q letter addressed by General Pa
trick Henry Of Madison 70 the editor Of th'
SomhrOn, dated September the 18th ls4s

loAt the sans time, therefore, that he (Geu
ofAt Cass) abandOns the WilmOt PrOvs
dha measure Of Congress, AMI thus 81
psases the South, he dex,eTously shows {
Gho North how the principle OF the PrUvs
NAV be carried out by leaving il to the pee
pie who will be affected BY this question,
adiust Il uPon their own responsibility an
"a their owR manner. This is, by the lerr
