law Of God and they are 10 be the Judges. They say
that the clause which recognizes property in slaves is
in violation of the Divine law and is not to be obeyed
Then the Senator devotes part OF his speech TO

Union must be taken for naught, unless accom-

the Constitution shall be maintained invlolae IN all its
parts not only that which suits the North but whether

sttuton binds you TO every word and sy able In It,
and you have right TO say any clause in violation
of the Divine law. What commentary IS this pretext

| Mr.. TRUMBULL said his colleague might find out
that be an equally poor exponent OF Democracy.
He regarded rather unsound on that eide OF the
chamber. The Republicans Of Illinois never asserted
such doctrines and he would tell his colleague his
teeth that if he made such charges, they were wholly
untrue and without foundation. he did believe, with
the Declaration of Independence, that all men in
state of nature free and equal, but that society
created the inequalities. The Kansas-Nebraska BIZ
