Territories, compelling the admissio of SIa-
very into all the Territories, no matter how
large majority Of the people may be opposed
to it, and protecting it there in defiance of
"popuIar sovereignty" is the new demand of

ton in political circles now is, Will Douglas
submit to this requirement, and thus renew his
former fealty to the South?
