power insists that even under this pro-
vision the people of the territory of
Kansas have no power to exclude slavery
theretrom until another express act of
Congress gives them the power to form

sition as the Chief Executive Of an en-
| lghtened and free nation, by counten-
ancing and otherwise aiding the out
laws from the neighboring State of Mis-
souri,, who have under various pretexts,
from time to time, invaded the Territory
disturbing its peace, outraged its elect
