District Convention, to nominate candidate
for Congress. The delegates were instruc-
ted 10 vote for Thos. l.. ANDERSON, who be-
ing present, made speech, thanking his
friends for the honor conferred upon him,
and for their confidence in him, and declined

governed by its we'll known and well defined
conservative and Republican principles.

Of the Nebraska Territory for the purpose
and that we endorse and are in favor of the
Bill, now pending in the House of Repre-
sentatives, which has passed the Senate, and
was introduced therein by Senator Douglas
Of Illinois, believing as we do that said bill
asserts the true wing doc rine on the sub
ject of slavery, which is this, that the people
of the Territories are competent to regulate
their own domestic institutions in their own
way and time, and that Congress never
ought to prohibit slavery in the territories of
the United States, or to interfere with it di-
rectly or indirectly therein or elsewhere.
