Judge by the standard of Henry Clay,
the opinion of Mr.. Lincoln, together
with the opinion of all the other great
men of the North, excepting possibly, n
few Democrats, for ought | know to the
contrary, is that, slavery is an evil which
they are unwilling to extend, and that
the power of exclusion exists, leaving
open the question of the necessity or ex-
pcdioncy exercising it. Now, what with
reference to the expcdiency of exercising
it? The opinion is expressed as distinctly
as can be, that since slavery docs not,
in point of fact, exist in the Territories,
and since they think it can only exist dy
affirmative legislation, they have no leg
islation, to ask unless lcgi Station is asked
on the other side; and hence that great
declaration of Mr.. Sherman, when he
was candidate for Speaker in the lIonsc
of Representatives, in the face of the
storm of villifcation and abuse with which
he was assailed blythe Democrats during
the whole of that long controversy
declaration which gentlemen may not bo
willino to repeat. but which it behoves
