Territories, we can heartily agree that if there be
no such power in Congress, it must certainly in
here in the people Of the Territories.
But when Congress came to act on the Nebraska
BILL and this very power was in question. aud
Douglas had finally fixed bis section, declaring that
this bill was intended to leave the people thereof
perfectly free to form aud regulate their domestic
" institutions in their own way, subject only to the
Constitution Of the United States, Cass having
recorded his vote in favor of this proposition Gov
Chase Of Ohio moved 10 add the following

70 govern themselves voting to uphold the authority
and enforce the acts Of the Border Ruthan conyen-
ticle at Shawnee Mission claiming to be Terrific
rial Legislature of Kansas, when all men do know
that il was elected by Missouri conspiratOrs and IN
vaders for the express purpose of sitting the voice
of Kansas and imposing avery upon her against
her will And, though Gen. Cass admitted and
proclaimed the atrocty Of some of it's enaciments,
he vet voted to sustain the authority of the usurpefs
who passed them, thus perpetuatDg the usurpaton
and oppression by the power of Federal posses and
regiments of Dragons
IL were superfuOus to trace the close OF this
career of apostasy and debasement. Throughout
the late canvass Gen Cass, though seyenty-tour
years old, has stumped Michigan from village to vii
lage doing his utmost to confuse and pervert the
understandings of the People and make them be-

ainies BY which Slavery has been forced upon sub

Common Schools and are habitual readers of news

rebuked the aged sophist by an overwhelming
majority, and his place viii be filled BY true
hearted Republican after the 4th of March next.
He is worse beaten at home than Toucey, or Pierce,
