Keep il before the people---

Adams, and Daniel ID, Tompkins, gave their
deliberate opinions to the President on the
passage Of the Missouri Compromise, pro-
hibiting Slavery in part of the national
territory, that the act was constitutional.
KEEP II BEroRE THE PEoPLE-That Doug
lass and Cass and Richardson confess to hay-
ing given votes sustaining that compromise in
respect to the prohibition of Slavery, and
declare their votes to have been right and
constitutional.
KEEP IT BEFoRE THE pEorLE-That the
whole Southern delegation in Congress in
1913 voted TO extend the line Of the Nilsson
ri Compromise, prohibiting Slavery north of
81 deg. 30 min, to the Pacific, thereby con-
Tossing the constitutionality Of such prohi-
bition.
KEEP IT BEroRE THE PEoPLE-That the Su-
preme Court Of the United States have rem
derod decisions to the same purport, and the
commentaries of Kent and Story establish
the fact of such right.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEoPLE-That the
Slave Democracy of to-day denounces the
exercise Of such authority as demonstrations
a. says Slavery and Freedom stand on an
equal footing, and that the ''squatter sover-
eigns" have not the power themselves to ex-
clade Slavery from the territories, for il is
carried there By the Constitution and is be-
yond their reach; that the Republican party
seek dissolution Of the Union BY despoiling
portion of the States Of their constitution
al rights, in seeking to prohibit Slavery in tho
territories, as the almost unbroken authority
q jursts and statesman down the present
day say they have right to do; that they
denounee us as BLACK Republicans" DIS
unionlsts, ''Constituton-breake !" for no
ofher and no better cause.
KEEP II e2roRE rHE prorIr-That the
Slave Democracy, by reckless disregard Of
that wellsettled and long established doc
troe and Of the Compromise established
under T. have displayed their inconsistency,
Their Willingness to serve the Slayc-power TO
any extent, their utter recklessness of the
rupture of public peace ana the obligation
OF public pledges to abiae bY the Compro-
mise Of 1850, ana are responsible for tho
present agitation which was thereby precipi-
tated upon the country.
KEEP II BEFORE THE PEorlE-That the De-
mocracy, whose one great principle in 1856
Is the preservation Of the integrity Of Slave
property every where, in the Slave States,
the national arritory, and even in transit
through Free States, which consorts with
avowel seeessionists and disunionists, oa.ras
70 be the party par excellence Of Human
Rights, the special friend and defender Of
the Union
