Tic argument upon the leading measures

exception of the single question Of the
admission Of Kansas, and upon thai

on the principle embraced in the Kansas
Nebraska Act, but simple upon the besi
mode Of carrying that principle into effect
/ We found, too, that uqon this single
question Of disagreement, there were nc
