THE PROGRESS OF sLAvERY.---sourHER
DEMANDS AND NORTHERN CONCESSIONS.
One of the first acts Of the Govern
ment was the adoption Of tho Ordinanc,
of 1877, prohibiting slavery in all tn,
Territories. This measure was introduc
cd by Washington, Madison, Monroe
Randolph aud Patrich Henry of Virgin
ia, and many other distinguished Anti
Slavery patriots in the South The,
would not permit the word slavery" te
stain the pure pages of tie Constitution
Even the word "seryitude" was, on mo
tion of Mr.. Randolph, stricken out, and
Service substituted, by unanimous
vote. The Convention adhered every.
thing that sounded or savorod of slavery
Such was the beginning. What is the
end? Let us see:
|. Since the adoption of this resolu-
tlon, 10 less than nine States with slave
ry have been admitted, some of them Gre
ated out y the very Territory thus ded-
icated to freedom, and always with the
aid of Northern votes.
,. The following territory has since
been acquired by war or purchase, for the
purpose Of making more Slave States -
First, Louisiana, bought for Sl5, 900, 600;
second, Florida, costing in money and
Indian wars not yet over, rot less than
SO, 900, 900; third, Texas, by anncxa-
tlon, payment of her debt and the conse-
puent Mexican war, losses, expenses, and
bounty lands, S280,O0o,oUO, making
31o,Ooo,oOO paid mostly by the Free
States for Slave Territory Loss by the
voluntary surrender to the British from
~ deg. to 81 deg 40 min. north la;i-
tudc, because it would be free and not
slave Territory, say $50,OO0,0o0 more,
and with tho aid of northern votes -
What Cuba, Central America, and all
Mexico is to cost 10 make slave States, Is
In the future.
,. The admission of Missouri as
slave State, and adoption in 1920 of the
Missouri Compromise line, giving all the
territory dedicated to freedom by the res
olution of 1877 to slavery south Of IS
deg. 30 mia rorth latitude, this too
when the North had a majority Of 2i
votes in Congress,
+. Every concession but whcts the ap-
petite for new demands. at d next in or
der is the passage in 1880 of the Fugi-
tive Slave LEW with the support Of
Northern votes, to crafty and propitiate
the South, AS a ''tinaity'' ond payment ia
full Of the demands Of slavery to "save
the U0.or.'
). Finding threats If dissolvnc the
Union successful, they try it again. Next
they demand THAI the whole of the Terri
tories Of the United States shall be open
Cd to Slavery by the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise line, leaving the peo-
pc of the Territories free to adopt or re-
ject STAY cry, ar they might think proper;
and this was to be another "Gnalty "a
final concession by the North 10 the
South---vis: ths total abolition of She
resolution Of 1887 This, also, vas car.
risd by Northern votes.
g. But Kansas having rejected slavery.
they now determine to repudia,e their
own doctrine and Popular Sovereignty.
40 lately and strongly advocated by the
South, is now rejected, and they deter
mine to force Il Slave Constitution on
Kansas; but, defeated in this, they are
finally enabled, by the aid of Northern
votes aud Executive influence, to pass
tho English bill, permitting Kansas to
come in as Slave State with porula-
tion OF 10000, and requiring 90, 900 to
come in as Free State.
l. Kansas having spurned the bribe,
now 1t is determined, aud with the aid
OF the Supreme Court, the President and
the United States army, to force slavery
upon Kansas aud into all the Territories
aud States Of the Union, on the ground
that slavery is not local but national, and
has right to exist under the constitu-
ton Of the United States wherever it ex-
tends, and that all laws, ''organic or 9th
erwlsc,' in the language of tho official
paper at Washington, against slavery are
unconstitutional aud vold,' no State or
Territory has right to resist the au-
thority of the Constitution and the Su-
prcme Court. If they succeed IN this it
must be "inal;ty,' for it establishes
slavery throughout the Union, now aud
forever, lfthcy carry this BY the North
orn doughfaces they become slaves them
selves to their Southern masters. Win
they d. It? Wig not make thi@ last
concession to save the Union, which the
President tells us is agaio in great dan
