Northern Democrats on the other hand, accept the

though it repeats the /" Missouri Compromise" which

What, after all, is this popular sovereignty

The Nebraska bill disouns this principle Of popular
sovereignty One Gen. PIERCE, whose home is in New

the Executive and the judicial powers the greatest
of the powers Of all GOVERNMENTS for the popular sooe
