That was Mr.. ClNy's doctrine in 1850,
and il was Democratic doctrine then, too,
it is Democratic doctrine now. Mr.. Brcck.
inridge indOrses it, Mr.. Douglas and Mr..
Lincoln repudiate it. Not until the
people of Territory have attained to a
condition which entitlc them to admission
as State" have they right, according
to the doctrine of Mr.. Clay, "to decide
for themselves the question Of the allow.

Mr.: Douglas takes the opposite ground,
and SO does Mr.. Lincoln.
