The Logic of Slavery.

=
Ichanan goes about the work Of declafin:
Slavery a national institution has in j
something inhuman and revolving. Tn
logic is miserable as the conclusion is Out
rageous. Three sentences tell the story
He says:
"The Congress of the u. S. had mos
wisely declared tito be the true inten
land meaning of this act-the act organic
ing The TeFritory-notto legislate SLAYER,
into any Territory, Q TO exclude it there
from, but to leave it to the poopla Thereof,
perfectls free to form and regulate thei
domestic institutions in their own way
subject only to the Constitution Of Tho u.
IS.
As a natural consequence, Congress has
also prescribed by the same act that when
the Territory Of Kansas shall be admitted
as 8 State, it shall be received into the u.
Mon, with or without Slavery, as theil
Constitution may prescribe at the time o
their admission. ~ tr
Slavery existed at that period and still
exists in Kansas under the Constitution q
the us. This point has at last been9de.
lcided by the highest tribunal known to
our laws. How it could have ever beer
seriously doubted is a mystery"
That is-Congrcss, in the Kansas Ne
braska Bill, intended to leave The people
free to admit or exclude Slavery as they
pleased-subject only to the Constitution
Of the o. S. which carries Slusery into
all the Territories. -) e.sae7 4. rsi Il

tout Slavery, as its Constitution shall pre-

Itis.so plain that Slavery EXISTS noU
in KansasTas 10 be "a mystery that il
could ever have been doubted"
Sdch is Mr.. .B~uchanan's logic-such, his
tJo~claration. Such is the doctrine of The
Democratic party acknowledging the Kan

a sham. Such. is its boasted SqnatterSov-
