In recent article, replying to the strict
ures OF some doughlace correspondent,
The Bur Oak talks in this plain
fashion:
We have no patience to talk about the
new tangled doctrine ofnon Intervention.
For an American Congress in this age
of the world to say by legal euaclmen,
that IT is Republican and right TO allow
. one part of mankind to enslave another
part, if they will vote to do so, is unnat-
, ural, unchristien, immoral and barba-
. rious. Within the States slavery exists
!. by local laws, aud Congress cannot con-
; slltutioaally interfere with it there. But
1t is the solemn duty of Congress to pre-
! vent its spread into terri,ories--i,s duty,
! because it is the representative of a
Christian people and Republican Gov.
ernment, Slavery is neither Christian
/ nor Republican.
: We do no. advocate needless agitation.
! Slavery cannot spread in the Union but
, by the aid of northern votes in Congress
: So far as il is necessary TO agitafe, to
! prevent that spread, We would agitate.
