The Coon Skinner of July 18th. 1913,
very cleverly shows mp how Southern
members OF Congress have always acted
in regard to the organization of Territories.
1t says very truthfully:
The people of Oregon had passed a
law against the admission of slaves into
that territory. The Southern Senators
therefore refused to give territorial gov
ernment to the people of Oregon unless
the right should be conceded and declared
in favor of Slavery in Oregon and all other
Territory acquired and to be acquired. -
Month after month has elapsed. willie the
people of Oregon were suffering the mur-
derous assaults of Indians and all action
of Congress has been delayed, in order to
enable Southern Senators to carry all their
points relative to "niggersm." The Coon
Simmer of July 22d, 1913. says that
"Gen. Taylor happens to be the very first
man who has extended Slavery into the
region between the Nueces and the Rio
Grande" .In addi
tion to his one hundred thousand dollars
worth of slaves in Mississippi. he has in
vested eighteen thousand dollars more in
human souls, upon his new plantation"
