well in Congress. We are united in opp 'sition to the
Democratic party which profeses 10 be in favor Of
having the People rule but it he- fortified all claims

cratic party brought in q MEASURE to repeal the M'-
people in any way They did repeal it md we have had
no,hrrg hut dissensi0n since. All this Territory
Of KaDsas had been looked upon Free TERRITORY, but
the Shareholders determined it should be given up to
Slavery. and this party have done all they could To
! further that determination. IT, the Presidential elec

State had gone in the Presdet tial election as IT went
