Hon. Roger A. Pryor in late speech IN

"Be that as it may, protest against the
assumption that an opinion on Territorial
power shall be made test of political fdeli-
ty. can understand how the enemies of
Democracy may employ and aggravate the
issue as wedge to rend asunder the unity
of our party; but cannot comprehend how
any Democrat can assist in the suicidal ope-
ration. In all political organizations there
must be some open questions. 1t is impos-
sible to enfo, CO an exact conformity of opin-
ion upon every subject of speculation. The
policy of the Democratic party has been to
tolerate difference of opinion in this matter
of Territorial power"
Now, on the other hand, large portion
of the Democracy of the South, contend that
this question of Territorial power is vital
one that upon it the battle of the South
must be fought-and that 50 far from its
being an "open question" upon which dit
ferences of opinion can be allowed, it is the
issue about which there must be no dispute
and no yielding.
