G Mr.. DoOlittle said. We mad lived togeth-

on two ideas. lst That the Federal Gov

: ing States should make aggressions on slave
/ ry in the States; and the other, that neith-
= er the Federal Government nor the citizens
OF the slaveholding States should make any
aggressions, nor undertake to overthrow
freedom IN the territories. If these condi-

| new doctrine. He said the South had S4,- /
900, 900, 600 in this kind of property. Is it I
