Slavery in Territories,

oAaV0Iy IN 1exI1toTlo0.
"Slavery cannot exist practically where the
majority Of the PEOPLE are opposed. TO it, for
they will refuse to pass laws for its protection !:
nor can it be excluded where majority are
favorable to it, for they will have it projected
by necessary legislation.
"They ought to pass laws in every Territory,
when the Territory is open to settlement and
shareholders 60 there to project slave property
But If they decline to pass such laws, what is
tho remedy9 None, sir."-Hon. J. L. Orr,
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives.
81 have held that in Territorial capacity
the settlers had not the right to exclude slavery:
yet majority Of the people in Territory will
decide the question. after all.
"If a majority of the people ola Territory are
opposed to the institution, they will refuse to
pass laws for its protection, and it will not 90
there. f30e the contrary, they are in favor Of
It, they pass laws for its protection, and it goes
there. Hon. San. A. Smith, of Tennessee.
although my own opinion is that the peo.
pie, under the limitations of the Constitution,
have not the righ'ful power to exclude slavs:y,
SO long as they remain in Territorial condi.
ton yet am willing that they may determine
it for themselves, and when they please. 1
shall never negative any law they may pass, If
it is the result Of fair legislative expression of
the popular will. Never! I am willing that
the Territorial Legislature may act upon the
subject when and how they may think proper
Hon. Alsx H. Stephens, of Georgia
~ care not how the Supreme Court may dc.
eide the question as to the right of the owner
of slave to take him there when he gets him
there the question is whether he can hold him
as slave. II there Is friendly legislation to
protect his right, then he can if there is the
absence OF friendly legislation protecting his
right, it is as positive aud efect,al an exclus.
ion as positive prohibition Hon. s. Il. Doug
las. of Illinois.
"If the inhabitants of any Territory should
refuse to enact such laws and police regulations
as would give securitys to their property or to
his, it would he rendered more or less yaluless,
in proportion 10 the difficulties Of holding it
without such protection. In the case ofproper
ty in the labor Of man, or what is usually called
slave property, the insecurity would be as great
that the owner could not ordinarily retain it.
.-sss. .hcIsn. -. -;e.. .,.,s ,s'a.,n. the
owner would be practically debarred by the cir
cumstances Of the case, from taking slave prop.
erty into a Territory where the sense of the in
habitants was opposed to its introduction. So
much for the oft-repeated fallacy of forcing
slavery upon any community. Hon. Je1erson
Dsuis, of Mississippi.
"If they will not legislate at ali in favor of
slavery, it is IS bad as legislating against it |:
a mastery inactivity being as bad As the most
unfriendly legislation.'- Washinqton Stste,,

This certifes that am Tanner and Currier
by trade, and have worked at the business over
forty years. have had large experience in

lately tanned and finished large quantities Of
leather by Edwin Daniels Improved Process.
and would hereby certify that the Daniels Pro-
cess makes leather of nm excellent quality and
IN . very shost space az time and that the ex-
pcnse 10 not large. The time occupied in tan
ming the different kinds Of leather. is about a.
follows
Sole leather. so days; Harness, 20 dav. :
Upper, Is days Calfskin, 10 days.
The amount of Japonica (the main ineredi.
ent) required for the different kinds of leather
after the liquor 10 made, the watts saturated
and the business is established, is about az fol.
lows:
For Calf.skins. ~ lbs.. for Upper, 4 lbs.
Harness and Sole leather at the same rate, in
proportion to the weight of the hides.
The hides are prepared by soaking, lining
and batting the same ~ in the old process !:
and after qeing tanned, are finished in the usual
way.
lhave tanned excellent upper leather by this
process in IL to Is days, calfskins in I TO 8
days The leather carries stuffing as well as
any bark tanned leather ever saw, and weighs
we'll, 1t finishes we'll, looks better than Oak
tanned leather, and wears the best of any leath.
or ever tanned.
The watts. and other fixtures required by this
process are very simple. and not one tenth as
expensive as in the old methods with bark. /
am very, much pleased with the process and
the leather, and believe it to be q great improve
