Nebraska act Of 1854. was a distinct, unequiv-

Congress had power and ought to exercise it.
to exclude slavery from territories north of
certain latitude, and implicitly admitting it on
the other side. Congress was not to legislnte
slavery into or exclude it from any Territory

Nebraska act means this and nothing more.
