Z" East Hampton, August 10th, 1913.
/" Gentlemen have received your invita-
ton to attend meeting at Goshen on the
18th inst, aud regret exceeding that am
compelled to decline it. have Just returned
to my family, after a session OF congress of
more than eight months, and my health, as
well as my private business, which has been
totally neglected, req uires that should have
a few weeks of reposc alter the long coniine-
mcpt and labor to which | have been sub
iccted.
I" In your efforts aud dcslro to maintain
the cause of free territory and free labor,
fully and cordially symnthlsc. The last
hours OF the late session of Congress were
signalized by gratifying triumph Of the
friends OF freedom in the territories in the cx-
clusion OF slavery forever from Oregon. The
question Of power is settled beyond dispute.
No man can hereafter say, with any hope of
response from the public judgment, that
Congress may not, without violating the CON
stitution, prohibit slavery in the territories
of the United States. This is great point
gained. The whole question solves itself
into one of cxlcdicney and it is to BE- hoped
Cor the honor OF the country, that Il majority
oil the American people aud OF their repre-
scntatives in Congress, will never admit that
any considerations of cxpcdicn3y will justify
the establishment OF slavery IN territory whore
1t docs not exist. This is the question to be
presented at the next session Of Congress in
organizing territorial governments for Cali
fornil and New Mexico. fhc contest for
freedom in the territories is not yet over -.
1t will be renewed with increased ,igor
with pleasure all demonstrations OF opinion
in favor oi principles which cannot be rclin
pushed without inllieting severe blow ON
the general prosperity, aud casting a deep
reproach ON the public reputation.
