They (kansas and Nebraska) are free
now. as we understand it. and will remain
so until slavery is introduced by the law,
either Of the territorial legislature or by
the state constitution. Ifthere are slaves
there now. which is probable. held as
such by masters voluntarily taking them
there, they are entitled to be free.-Dem-
OCrat.
1t is only about two weeks since the
Democrat stated that slavery existed on
ly by brute force in violation of law, and
that it had never any place been cstab-
lished by law, yet now it gravely informs
its readers that slavery will not go into
Nebraska or Kansas until some law is
passed creating it. And. moreover, if as
it states, the slaves now in those terri
tories arc free because there is no law
making them slaves, why arc they not
just as free in South Carolina or Georgia.
for there is no more law i'll those states
making them slaves. according to its own
admissions, than there is in Nebraska.
And if slavery does exist by b1Wte force
alone as it has informed us, will it not
condesccnd to inform us further in plain
terms, why it may not exist by brute
force just as we'll in Kansas as a few miles
east in Missouri. We think the position
Of the Democrat on this question is de-
cidcdly mixed"
