Gov. Wise, of Virginia, with equa

opposition TO Douglas. The Govefuo
demands the recognition by the Charles
ton Convention of the power and duty o
Congress to protect slave property in th'
territories, and the rights OF slave holder

The following is our position on tb

III. Congress hes the power to protec
slavery in the Territories but has no
power to destroy or impair.
g. The inhabitants Of territory canno

We advocate protection to prt pert

But ifan attempt be made to destro

that Congress and the other branches 4
