We naintain that the term Free Territories meant

slavery from all tie pHbEe domain, it would have

plication distinction between tive Territories as
clearly ma broadly defined a. A.t between the
Free end Slave States respectively This reoln-

and this is the doctrine broached by many
prominent Democrats, who are now seeking Ia
bring the Northern and southern wings OF that
party togcther-that there was nothing I \ prac-

And now, what after all was there in the pro

again by the Democracy. Did pU its abolition

FresoI Platform, and did they not unite sgs in to
secure theelection Of Pierce, and vcre they not

Cincinnati Convention. and did they aat again
unite upon the Democratic candldateg In short,

Our neighbor may we'll tremb,e at the n ppre-
