consent to it; and now We have got the
great principle, established in 1850, carried
out in the Kansas Nebraska bill, that Con
gress, AFTER REMOVING ALL OBJ
SIRCCTlONS, is not to intervene against
Us. This is tho old Southern Republican
principle, attained after hard and pro-
tracted struggle in 1850, and | say, il Con-

"We have been told by those who advocate
this line Of policy, that they do not desire to
interfere with slavery in the States where it

takes my property outright, or restricts me
in the enjoyment Of il. 80 as to render it Of
little or no value to me. Slavery
cannot be confined within certain specified
limits without producing the destruction Of
