When Dunn's bill ented to Repub-
ican he says Oh 1t was only intended
to recognize what already exists in Kansas.
Slavery is there, and Dmn's bill only pro-
vides for its removal in 1858 from Kan.
sas
Now if this be so. how is it in NeJrdsk a
here there are no slaves, and no pretence
of any law fer the institution of slavery?
How is it in the Indian Territory, annexed
to Kansas by Dunn's bill--which is yet un-
organized and were no slavery exists
In Kansas, the Republicans say, all the
laws in relation to slaves are bogus, because
from bogus Legislature. If so, how can
slavery exist in Kansas Not at all, except
by Dunn's bill.
The Republican platform Of 1856 says,
"that the Constitution conlers upon Congress
sovereign power over the territories for their
governments" and in its exercise the Repub-
lican House of Representatives have said,
slaves shall be held in Kansas, Nebraska,
&C., till 1858, and all children born therein
up to that time, of slave mothers, shall be
slaves forever, and removable into perpetu-
al hereditary bondage.-O. Statesman.

why Democrats were not DUNN
for!

The Journdlea cannot imagine why the Dem
ocrats from the slave States should vote
against Dunn's bill, if that bill would have
put Slavery into Kansas and Nebraska
Read the Kansas bill and you will find
out 1t says that the people shall be left
"peJectly free" on the subject of slavery
and Congress shall not intervene.
Southern men opposes.the Wilmot Proviso,
because that interviewed against Slavery
They wanted no "odious restriction" as Clay
called it. In Clay's speech, which we pub.
lish on Sept. 20, he says =.
"Prior TO the last session Of Congress, at
the preceding session and even no longer
than twelve months ago, .he great effort Of
the South was TO avoid the Wimot Proviso
being engrafted on territorial bills"
Hence the South could we'll say when
Dunn came up 20 put Slavery into Kansas:
mo Mr., Dunn, toe can't vote for it. The
North has l44 members of Congress, we
have only 90. If we say Congress may
control il, they may put slavery out as we'll
as in. They may have more Wilmot Pro-
visos. We were done with such things
in 1880. Ohio Statesman.

why tiIIIs5S.

While the Journal iswriting its long leaders
about Dunn's bill let it ponder the question:
why slavery was allowed foothold in
Kansas, Nebraska and the Indian Territory
till 1858? ..
What good will making slaves free after
that time, do, if before or at that time Kan
sas be made ready for perpetual ground, till
1859?
Suppose Kansas is ready for admission "a
she will be, by 1853, is not Dunn's bill which
allows Shareholders chance, without risk.

in Ohio better recommend to their negro

while they are so rampant against southern
slavery and the fugitive slave law, that they
had better look to their own State, and

Lewis D. Campbell the Black Republicans

in his "Brook letter." written some years

like the rest of the Black Repub-
