Territories was an open one not yet settled by
the Supreme Court. but the platform declared
that 1.-The Constitution confers upon Congress
sovereign power over the Territories of the
United States" and that II was both the right
'and duty of Congress to prohibit in the Terri
tories those twin relics of barbarism, polyg-
amy and slavery. few months later the
Supreme Court In the Dred Scott case decided
that the Republican platform was wrong and
that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the
Territories, but nobody on that account thought
it improper or unwise for the Republicans in
asking the votes of the people to have said
what they hoped to do concerning slavery In
the Territories. The early Republicans even
went further, and in 1860, after the Dred Scott
decision, reaffirmed their view and expressed
dissent from ''the new dogma that the Consti-
tuition of its own force carries slavery into
"any or all of the Territories" How ridiculous,
in the light of these precedents, to drivel out or
a platform a reaffirmation of that doctrine of
sovereign power over Territories on the plea
that the Supreme Court might not uphold some
particular exercise of that power for which,
constitutional or unconstitutional, the Repub-
can party is responsible, having enacted it into
