Of the Council also voted for the bill But five
Of the Council support the veto, and these Elk

Judges, the Attorneys and the Marshals, and YET

Douglas wishes to make it appear that the
Revelation arose out Of the question Of Slavery.
He should read history better. The great cause
was the question of taxation without represen-
tation. and in the Declaration Of Independence
one Of the complaints made against King George
vas-"He has made judges dependent on his
wilalone;'-juss what is done 10 the Kansas
Nebraska Act.
The speaker irrecapituiased the history Of Ter
ritorial organizations, showing that in every
instance up to the last, slavery was excluded BY
the respective acts Of organization. In tho
course Of his remarks he showed that in annex
ing Texas 4 resolution was adopted. excluding
slavery from that portion OF Ihe Territory north
of SO deg. 80 min. An amendment was also
adopted, providing that in case new States
shocld be formed out Of the Territory Of Texas
living north Of SO deg. 80 min, slavery should
be prohibited in such States. The father Of this
amendment was Stephen a. Douglas, the spos-
tie of the Non-iaterventon and Popular Sover-
eighty doctrine. 44 fs6
In commenting on the bred Scott decision, he
remarked that Chief Justice Marshall long ago
decided that Congress had combined Federal
and State jurisdiction over the Territories. Why
should the Supreme Court at this later day set
up its extra;judicial decision in direct opposition
to The long settled interpretations given by the
Fathers Of the Republic?
There is great cry of non-intervention
raised. Who are the men who commenced in
teryention? None other than these same pOpu.
lar sovereignty men. When the compromise
measures of 1850 we're accepted, it was agreed
that the slavery question should not again be
opened up. Yet in 1854 these men "interyened"
by repeating the compromise and beginning the
6ght anew. Having done this, they cry out
"non-interventions9 1t il a. if q house breaker
were TO come into your house, turn you out Of
doors, and then tell you there must be no inter.
yention. He has peaceable possession Of the
house and you must not interfere with him.
Freedom having been thrown out of the window,
and avery let in a. the door, there must be no
'intervensionni to restore freedom to its rights!
Every vote given by the Northern Democracy
but serves to exteno the area OF slavery. The
Democratic Congressman from the North, when
they go into caucus, are in hopeless minority.
/ They must vote according to Southern dictation
or they will be read out Of church. One in every
sixty of the white population OF the courtry is a
Shareholder. To be a Democrat in this day is
to vote for the one man against the interests Of
the tfty-nine. Will you do il? Will you SO
disgrace yourself as to give additional power TO
the slavery extensionists!
y The policy Of the Republican party il simply
chs: 10 let the slaves in the Slave States remain
as they afe-ws do not profess to have any
right 10 NEEDLE with them. But we do claim to
have right to SO frame the laws for the organ
izaton Of the new Territories that the best in
tesests OF the people Of the Territories and the
whole nation shall be properly protected. y
