St. Charles City Republican intelligencer. [volume] (St. Charles City [Charles City], Iowa) 1857-1861, 1861-03-14

Mr. Vandevcr-I do not think the
gentleman has varied the proposition
materially from what stated it to be.
think the country is we'll satisfied
to-day rs to what was the proposition .
Of the minority Of the Charleston con-
vention. 1t was based on the rc8olu /
tions introduced by the senator from .
Mississippi, in the Senate of the Uni .
ted States. Mr.. Calhoun himself made |
the same demand i0v specific rrotcc-
ton and guarantees for slave proper
ty in the Territories, which no other |
property had. My friend from Mis-
souri, says hc was in favor Of leaving |
it to the people Of the Territory but
the minority Of the Charleston con-
vention would leave it neither to the
people nor to Congress but claimed /.
it was guaranteed to them indcpcud-
ent Of the people and Congress Of the .
United States. am justified, there
fore, in making the declaration, that
the turning point in that convention
was on the question of protecting
slavery in the Territories, regardless
of the wishes Of the people Of the
Territory, or the power Of Congress to
exclude it.
| now come back to the point at
which | was interrupted. The issue
having been thus fairly made to the
country having been decided against
slavery protcCtiynists in their own sec
ton, in their own Democratic convcn-
ton, being in hopeless minority in
the country, these men now seek to
present this question again for our
consideration. Since the election
they have been busiIy at work, by
their insidious wilcs and misrcprescn-
tations.
Mr.. Harris of Virginia-I ask, in
all courtesy, to interrupt the gcntle-
man.
Mr.. Vandcvcr I cannot give way.
Mr. Harris Of Nirginia--l want to
