Eg- Douglas holds the decision of tn

Eg- Douglas holds the decision of the supreme court in contempt. Breckinridge recognizes it as high and binding authority. True Dem.
 Douglas has so much respect for the Su preme Court and the democratic platform that he said he would abide, to the letter, the decision of the court, as it had decided, or might hereafter decide, and stand to the Cincinnati platform without the dottng of an i, or crossing of t. Read this and see if it sounds like contempt of the Supreme Court t-Notionol Democrot
 True, Mr. Douglas did agree to abide the decision of the supreme court. Cass and other northern statesmen who held similar views, also pledged themselves to- abide by it; the decision was made and Gen. Cass, with others as true and patri- otic, accepted it as final and satisfactory settlement of the great question in issue before the country. What was Doug las position? did he abide such decision as he had promised? No; on the contrary, he declared that mo matter What migM 6e Me decision of Me supreme court, still the right of the people of territory to exclude sla- very existed" Does not this show that Mr. Douglas holds the opinion of the court'in contempt?
 "But the Dred Scott decision is, that Con- gress has not that power." i. e., to pro- hibit slavery, and Douglas stands to that decision.-National Democrat
 Yes, and it is also announced in the Dred Scott decision that a TERRITORY has not 'thot povsr." Does Douglas stand to that?
