be admitted into the Union as States with or
without slavery as the people thereof might de-
termne. These facts are claimed as prece-

sas 1t is for these reasons, and IN this sense
also, claimed that the principles of non-inteF
vention as adopted in 1850 should be regarded
as finaIity.
As Pennsyvanans we are not the advocates
ofthe extension of slavery, and we deny that
the principles OF the Nebraska and Kansas bill
produce that effect IT merely leaves it to the
people 10 determine this question for themselves.
Bot the soil, climate and productions OF that re-
gion are not adapted to slave labor. 1t is our
firm belief that slavery will not enter those ter
rtories. Those who are sensitive on this point
should not close their eyes to the evidence that
surrounds them. The indications are all oppo-
sed to its extension to that country. Such is
the belief Of the abrst men in the nation, those
who advocated and voted for the Nebraska and
Kansas bill, as well as those who voted against
it.

Mr.. Badger said

than have of Seeing it in Massachusetts,"
Mr.. Edward Everett said
81 am quite sure that everybody admits that
this is not to be slave-holding region"
Mr.. Hunter said
'sDoes any man believe that you will have
slave-hol5ing State in Kansas or Nebraska l
confess that for moment, permitted such an
illusion to rest uD0a my mind"
MIR. Bell said, that as respects the South, "if
