for Congress in that district at the last election

In my discussion OF the Kansas Nebraska bill,
thus far have considered il as if the Slavehold-
could, under its, provisions emigrate to the
new territories carrying with him and holding
his slaves, but such is not the fact The slave.
holder may go there, bat he must leave his slaves

implicit obedience and to be waited upon by 9th.
must do his own bidding and become his own
servant.
''Slavery is creature of law. Without a law

introduce slavery into the territories, give up his
