platform, and from the letter Of acceptance Of
Col. Fremont, it will be seen what was the pro-
fessed position of the Republican party on the
question Of slavery IN the Territories. By the
extract which follows it will be seen the Repub-
lcahs in Congress not only repudatc the plat
form of their party and the position Of their can
didate for the Presidency, but also recognize
the existence Of slaveryin Kansas. 1t will be
seen by the extracts of Dunn's bill already quo
ted, that they continue in force the civil laws
passed in the Territory. These civil lawscos-
Germ slaves and slavery. Or course this will
then legalize these civil enactments. The 24tf
section of the BILL after restoring tho Missouri
Compromise line. then contains the following
proviso:
provided, however, That any person latgf,liy
held TO service in said territories shall not be dis.
charged from such service BY such repeal and revi-
OM of said eighth section If such person shall be
permanently removed from such Territory or Ter
,itories prior TO the first day of Jananry 1858;
AND ANY CHILD OR CHILDREN BORN
IN EITHER OF SAID TERRITORIES, OR
ANY FEMALE LAWFULLY HELD TO
SERVICE, IF IN LIKE MANNER RENO.
WE'D WITHOUT SAID TERRITORIES BE.
FORE THE EXPIRATION OF THAT DATE
SHALL NOT BE BY REASON OF ANY
THING IN THIS ACT, EMANCIPATED
FROM ANY SERVICE 1T MIGHT HAVE
OWED HAD THIS ACT NEVER REEN
tpASSEOU
THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW EXTENDED OVER THE
-ea7 TERRITORY
The Fugitive Slave ,aw passed by Congress
during Mr.. Filmore's administration, and which
these Republicans have always held up as the
most infamous enactment of modern legislation
is extended over these Territories by the fol.
lowing proviso, also taken from the 24th sec.
ton of Dunn's bill. . .a.. s..
"Ana providea further, THAT ANY PER
SON LAWFULLY HELD TO SERVICE IN
ANNOTHER STATEOR TERRITORY OF
THE UNITED STATES AND ESCAPING
INTO EITHER TrHE TERRITORY OF
KANSAS OR NEBRASKA, MAY BE RE
CLAIMED AND REMOVED TO THE PER.
SON OR PLACE WHERE SUCH SERVICE
IS DUE UNDER ANY LAW OF THE UNI
TED STATES WHICH SHALL BE IN
FORCE UPON THE SUBJECT"
} WHAT LETTER THOUGHT OF 1T.
AS we said last week, Letter snufed the dan
ger, and would not go the bill. For his noble
stand against it, solitary and alone as he was
he deserves the thanks of all true Democrats.
In a letter to one of his friends he says
"We passed Dunns bill for Kansas yester
day in very Objectionable manner. 1t has ma
ny good provisions; but it eutends the Fugiti,
SlaU: LatD ouer Kansas and Nebraska, and per
petuates slavery there until 1858, and makes al
children born therein up TO that hn1e Of SLAVE moth
ers, SLAVES. This was too much fer me-
have always said-and now repeat my pledg
es--that Twill never vote to recognize slavery
will never vote to make any human being
slave. l will never vote to extend slavery one
single foot. | will never vote for the Fugitive
Slave Law or its extension over any free terrific
ry. Therefore Uoted against Dunn's Bill, soil
tary aysd alone Of all our party"
CONCLUSION.
