BALI.
| consider this bill Tho Nebraska
Bill proposition in favor of freedom,
and am surprised that the North should
oppose, and the South support it.-Pres.
ident Pierce.
| congratulate the Senate on this en-.
phatic endorsement ofSquatter Sovereign
ty.-General Cass.
deny that slaves are property.--Sec.
rotary McClelland.
This bill effectually prevents the ad
mission Of another foot Of slave territory
into the Union.-Gen. Shields.
The great issue is, whether or not the
people Of Nebraska, shall be allowed to
settle the question ofslavery, or no slave
ry, for themselves. In Illinois we estab.
lish such constitutions as suit US; if you
like them come and dwell with US; if you
do not, stay away. The Nebraska bill
proposes to carry this principle into all
the territories Of the United States. 1t is
the great cardinal principle Of the Dem.
ocratie party.--Senator Douglas.
Under this bill the Southern slavehold.
er may go to the territories, but he must
leave his slaves behind. - The quick
moving Yankee squatter will have il
peopled and its institutions fixed before
the Shareholders Of the South could pack
their cumbtous household goods, hand
cuff their slaves, yoke their oxen and
start their emigrant trains.--Mr, w,
Montgomery, Of Pa.
A principle fixed and irrevocable in
spite of all the bowls of faction, is the
theory that each distinct inchoate State
of this Union shall determine for itself
what shall be its own institutions. In all
parts Of this Union, it must become the
unanimous conviction Of the people Of
these United States, that whether a State
Of this Union is, or is not, to regulate la
Dor in this or that manner, depends upon
the will of the people of that State or
Territory Attorney General Gushing.
In my opinion, the Kansas and Ne.
braska act recognizes the full force and
power, in all its vigor, of the right ofthc
people Of the territories to legslate on the
subject of slavery prior to their organiza
ton as a State Government, as fully and
completely as it is recognized the power
of the people of the States over the sub.
ject of all domestic questions not delega
ted to the Government. Gentlemen may
call it what they please, non .interven
ton, squatter sovereignty, or popular SOY
ereignty, it was a power Of the people
which they had never nelegated to the
Government, and in my opinion they, anc
they alone, should exercise it as vel
while in a territorial condition as in &
State Governmcnt.-Hon, G. w. Jones
of Tenn.
1t is a Islander upon the Demo cratic
party to say that it is in favor Of the ex
tension of slavery. --Boston Post.
am with you, hand and head, and hear
. and all my might.-Gov. Wise to thu
Buffalo Freesoilers.
t The Democratic party North ofus, ha
everywhere been beaten by the Republi
cans, or disorganized by the abolition
ism in its own ranks.--Pensylvanian.
f We pledge ourselves to use every el
i fort to extripate the evil fslavery.--Ohi
[ Democratic State Convention.
4 We shall spare no effort to prevent tn
extension Of slavery."-New York Soi
