From the beginning, my own mind was con-
WINGED hat this union was not only expedient,
but rigIt; and that, as practical, working men,
we could not do otherwise without deeply

well az our own characters ~ practical states
men. Others of our friends, equally honest
with myself, doubted the expediency of the
movement. 1t was feared that We should com.
promiss our consistency in our opposition to
the doctrine of squatter sovereignty. My hos
hlty te that doctrine is not in the least abated,
nor in the slightest degree compromised, so far
as l ckn see. That doctrine binds Congress to
sanctiUa any rascality which the Territorial
squatt-,rs may embody in their laws; and that
libertf and Slavery, horse stealing or polygs-
my, if. embodied in a Constitution, republican
in for >, is binding on Congress. Now, need
not seq that neither myself nor my constituents
