Corgresa The crcumsi attending the passage OF
the Fugitive Slave bill having exposed the entire de-

In that spirit and with that knowledge, the Mis-
souri Compromise was repealed, and all the Western
Territory OF the United States larger IN area than al
Tie ,ei,led states was opened 10 the possibility Of

Of nat iol ahty, Of common honor and of common de-
cebcy. II deliberately did oeed which would
have caueed an individual to be hooted from

You kI Ow that every one OF tho slight pretenses OF
prott cion for free institutions in Mr.. Doug lass bill
was imne distely destroyed. You know that the bill
affected to allow the people of Ksnas TO settle their
own Govern ent, and you know hat the President of
the United States Senate which passed the bill himself
led bordes of men fiom Missouri and controlled the
elections against the people of Kansas. You know
that the delegates, 20 elected passed laws for the
T,nitory which outraged humanity, common
Sstes. You know that the people Of Kansas refused
to submit TO a Missouri mob. You know tha, the
President Of the United States endeavored to compel
ttat submission by means OF the National Army. II
