~ Yes, Mr.. Julian was elected
by democratic votes,' and pro> |
slaveryism,' did reap the profit of
that result in the fact that he SO
voted for Speaker Of the House,
that Howell Cobb of Georgia, a
STAKEHOLDER, was elected Speaker,
over both Winthrop, of Mass. who
was opposed to slavery and it's
extension in our free territories,
and Wilmot, Of Pennyslvania, the
father Of the sWilmot Proviso.'
which nsasare the opponents OF
slavery, throughout the Union en-
dorssd! 1t will be recollected that
the contest, at that time. was on
the extension of the curse of sla-
very into our free territories-the
Territory Of Kansas, being the point
particularly aimed at and the then
battle-ground of slavery against
freedom. A Speaker was wanted
by those who desired to curse that
Territory with that Sum of oil vii
lainiss,' who would 50 organize the
Committee on Territories, with a
majority Of slave-crats, that their
report would be favorable to the
establishment there OF that specu-
liar institution' As We said i,
Howell Cobb WAS selected, and
George W Julian did what he bar
gained to do for the Democratic
votes he received, and thus as
sisted 'pro-slaveryism,' in its OBJ
lject to secure fitting tool to do
its work But, thank God, his
labors proved aborative by the
determined action of the brave
men, who emigrated from Massa-
chusetts, Indiana, and the balance
Of the free North and west, to the
Territory of Kansas; and who drove
the 'border~rufiians' and slavery
ont, and established freemen ant
liberty on that soil. Yes, indeed
spro-slaveryism d,d profit an iot'
by that result and but for th'
prompt action of the old Johl
Browns, the Jim Lanes. tho Henr,
Shambouries, the DIR. Averies, tn
BARRIERS and the Pcrserfields,
would have proved . success.
The incipient steps towards ea
tablishing slavery there was taken
by the aid of Mr.. Julian, and it
consummation was only thwarte
by and through 'border-rufflar
war, and the sacrifice of the live
OF brave and patriotic men. S
