Good Democr.,ic Authorisy. 80

Good Democratic Authority.
1t is well known to all who read the papers,
that the doctrine of the Democratic party Of the
present day, is that Congress has no power to
prohibit Slavery in the Territories. Indeed,
that is the great question at issue between the
Republican and Democratic parties; for if it is
once conceded that Congress has power to pre-,
vent the extension of Slavery, few if any could be
found in the North, who would doubt the policy
of SO doing. And if we can prove by good DEM
ocratic authority, that Congress has the power,
who oppose the Republican doctrines, not be-
cause they want slavery extended, but because
they believe Congress has no power to prevent
its extension, will surely feel the necessity of
abandoning their party and joining one whose
policy is consistent with Justice equity and free
dom, as well as law. In order to prove that
Congress has the power to prohibit Slavery in
the territories, wish to introduce the testimony
of one of the great leaders of the Iowa Democ-
racy-a man who, from the first organization of
Iowa Territory, down to the present time, has
been regarded, and think justly, as one Of the
first statesman and best lawyers of the west
man whose decision the Iowa Democracy sure
" cannot disregard. allude to Hon. Chales
Mason.
In the year 1889, while Mr.. Mason was Chief
Justice of Iowa Territory, this question was rails
ed before the Supreme Court, on the trial Of the
case of the negro Ralph, who came from Nilsson
ri into the Territory, with his masters consent
An attempt was made to take him back to bond
age Awrit Of habeas corpus was issued on
the ground that Ralph was free under the law
of 1920 or the Missouri Compromise. The slave
drivers attorney raised the question, and Judge
Mason in deciding it made use of the following
plain and unequivocal language:
Congress possesses the supreme power of
Regulation in relation to the Territories, and its
right to prohibit slavery, at least in relation to
slaves subsequently introduced, is doubtless legit-
| innate"
And again he says:
"The language Of the act of 1920, in relation
to the district of country in which this Territory
is embraced, is that Slavery therein shall be, and
is hereby forever prohibited This seems to us
an entire and final prohibition, not looking to
future legislation to render it effective. fSes
Norris Iowa Reports, page 6.
Judge Mason then believed precisely what the
Republicans now believe, and there was perhaps
not Democrat in that Territory at that time
who did not believe that Judge Mason was right
in hisdecision. Now there is perhaps mot one
who is not willing to denounce as corrupt dis.
unionists all who venture to express the same
opinion. And yet the Democracy is said to be
unchangeablel Oh, consistency thou art Jew
/ ell but one not found in the course of the Demo-
cratic party. In conclusion, ask every reason.
ing man if he does not believe Chief Justice Ma.
son decided rightly, and if he cannot see that the
doctrine contended for by the Republican party
is sustained by his decision. COMMON SENSE.

perhaps other good men could not, and would
