conditions. First, that the abolition should
be gradual Second that it should be on q
vote of the majority of qualified voters in
the District: and third, that compensation
should be mado to unwilling owners.

rHE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
In regard to the Fugitive Slave law,
have never hestated to say, aud do not
hesitate to say that think, under the Con.
stitulion Of the United States, the people
OF the United States are entitled to Con-
gressional Fugitive Slave law. Having
said that, have had nothing to soy in re.
gard the existing Fugitive Slave law,
further than that think it should have
beed framed so ns to be free from semc OF
the objections that pertain to it, without
lcssening It's efficiency. Aud iuasmuch as
we'are now in an agitation in regard TO an
alienation or modification Of that law, l
would not be the man to introduce it as o
new subject Of agitation upon the general
question of slavery.
ADMISSION OF SLAVE STATES.
In regard to the other question, OF
whether am pledged to the admission oI
any more Slave States in the Union state
to yon very frankly that would be exceed,
ingly sorry ever to be put in position Of
having to pass upon that question -
/ should be exceedingly glad to know
hat there woud never be another slave
i State admitted into the Union but J
must add that if Slavery shall be Kept out
of the Territories during the territorial eX'
istence of any one given Territory, and then
the people shall, having fair chance ana
n clear field, when they come 10 adopt the
Constitution, do such an extraordinary
thing as TO adopt a Slave Constitution, un-
Influenced by the actual presence OF the in
stitution among them, soc no alternative,
if We own the country, but to admit them
