his same subject were no later than six
1r eight months ago may be learned from the
OllowIng statement, made in his well known
speech delivered at Frankfort, kentucky, On

ion of public affairs l can see no motive to |
hrust the Territorial question on the Con-
Tesslonal arena that has Us origin IN a feeling
toydHy to the CRton. At present the slave
y question. or this aspect of it, is not before

entative proposes legislation upon it. No
complaint of violated rights comes from any
Territory. No evidence is offered that the
Constitution, the laws, and the courts are not
competent to protect personal right and pri-
rate property. Hence, while would never
