In relation to the Kelly Law u:rSus the Sub
| Treasury, Mr. Dennison MED rmphStlcolly that
. he ever said the Kelly law was the best law
that could b! devised to protect the Treasury,
aud he does not malntr in 1t, but insisted hat il
is better than the Sub Treasury law in ore alton

was the author of the present Fugitive Slave Act.
! This measure originated with Mason, OF Virginia,
and was incorporated with the report OF the
committee ul Thirteen, and thus came before

! In l8l7, the Ohio Legislature instructed our
iSenator 10 vote for the Wilmut Proviso, or its
equivalent, to be attached to the Oregon Bill,

Douglass says there Is no unity in the D'mo-
cratic parry on the subject ut Territorial Gov
errment. Some say the Constitution carries sia-
very into all the Territories, and that Congress
should project it, while Others say Congress has
no power over it, rnd third class, incuiing
Douglas, SAYS something or nothing about the
people establishing or excluding slavery at will,
which is said to b. Sqaater Sovereignty. Watch
view Ranney takes, he (D'nniso sony cannot say.
but is willing to understand him as a uGn.ner'
ventionist OF ths Douglas creed. This sou OF
non-intrrvCntion is practically fraud--I is
only non intervention by Congress, while it
leaves room for Executive Intervention.
If the Kansas-N bra ,kn bill was intended to

Upon the question OF requiring taxes to be psi'
