Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1852-08-13

and still others that justify a directly opposite
conclusion from that sought to be established
For instance, it is said
Congress admitted Utah under laws prohibi.
ting slavery" Congress admitted New Next
co under the same laws"
Now these laws prohibiting slavery are not
our laws, for Congress refused to pass any such
laws, but old Mexican laws in force before the
acquisition of the territory, which laws souther.
nerS deny the force of, as do also, the decisions
OF the courts. VIM. r. KING, the candidate Of
the editor Of the Democrat fox Vice President,
says:
ST, have no appre hension of the force Of
Mexican law, and if | choose 10 remove with nv
property into that territory would not be deter
red one moment by the apprehension of any such
law"
What then becomes ofthese facts? Congress
was asked TO pass laws prohibiting slavery in this
territory, because such opinions as WIN. R. King
holds. were in effect, the law of the land, which
Congress refused thus giving new sanction and
force TO Kings construction ofthe law. Yet the
editor or the Democrat quotes this refusal OF Con-
gress to prohibit slavery, as among the c,den-
ces of the free spirit of the Government. Need
We analyze these facts further?
But suppose it were, as the editor of the De-
mocrat claims, that the tendency of the govern
ment has been for freedom since its establishment
is not the reason so much the stronger why we
should now oppose Pierce and King. No one
contends, probably, that they are opposed to sla-
very and in favor of freedom. They are ultra
representatives Of the slave power, and it behovcs
Us if the government has been in the path of free
dom, 10 keep it so by defeating these men. But
it has not been so.
The state of the case is just here. Since its
organization, our government has been sustain
ing and unfolding slavery, and stimulating its
strength all the time to an equality with the free
power, until few years past, when slavery has
demanded something more than this equality !;
claims the liberty to 90 when and where it plea
scs; to plant itself on whatever soil will nourish
it, and appropriate whatever territory it desires;
which involves Of course the complete control of
the government. and this is what creates the pre-
sent strife, and is really the question involved in
this contest
The editor of the Democrat belongs to an or
ganization which has been suborned to help on
this work lie estecms devotion to the party of
more Importance than devotion to the country:
we don't. We will 60 with the party as long as
it goes for Democratic principles, and when it
stops, as it has done, we shall go right on, as we
are doing.
