ries.3 [ Cheers That great struggle re-.
suited intthe EadDption of what Is known as
the compromise measures Of 1850. These
measures were the joint acii1n Of The whig
party ard the democratic party. and their
adoption was o triumph over northern aboli.
tionists and southern disunionists.
Wehave The .eame issue presented to US
now that we had thea. Non Intervention
BY Congress was the principle then agreed
10, and that is the doctrine Of the democratic
party now. plflthete are any old line wings

1852, they did not incorporate this plank Of,
non Intervention by CoDgtess with slavery

In our convention VI the same year, we did
not pledge cur faith 10 the same principle.
If Cheers | IL is true, that many democrats
Iron the extreme South had opposed that
principle in the struggle two years before.
They appealed 10 their people to sustain
Them Id their resistance To- the compromise
measures OF 1850, and, wherever thataappesl
was made, it was answered by rebuke from
the people. The ultraists and secessionists
of the South, ii the great contest Of 1851.

Their own States to acquiesce in this princl-
