Well in the long battle waged upon this subiec. the
South has now the vantage-ground under judicial
sanction But in the application OF the principe Of
popular sovereignty they made the bargain snd

expect them to do as intend DONG" live UP to tho

/ have been surprised to hear gentlemen on .ts sde

itself is compromise. The Federal Constitution s
great compromise. Calhoun, Clay, Webster, and he
greatest minds the country ever produced, originated
and supported compromises. In my Judgment, - sr
as the extension of Slavery into new territory Is COD
cened the repeal of the Missouri COMPROMISE vas The
most fatal error the South committed; aud b..
Ieye that if Mr.. Calhoun had been living he would
have opposed that repeal. Duty and good faith nov
require the South 10 live up TO the bono and IL IN the
competition of emigration, they should be beaten ce'
tain 1T that they cannot be any worse oil than they
now are If they always protected in their nights

of the country have been to the extension Of
Slavery into free territory.
