1t was, ALSO insisted chat Che doctrine of
popular sovereignty required the repeal ,of
the prohibition This was mere abuse of
terms. The true idea Of popular sovereign
ty deman Is as primary essential condition

rights. There can be no genuine popular
sovereignty where a portion Of the popula-
ton is -enslaved. The prohibition Of slavery
is therefore "a necessary pre- requisite to a
real sovereignty OF the people. In, the
sense OF the apologlsts for repeal popular
sovereignty sigplhess nothing but the right
