it occurred to conquerors that
the prisoners could be put to
better use than to kill them, and
SO they were made slaves of,
and compelled to de the work
of their masters. The warriors
were too proud to work, and be-
fore the slave came, the women,
as among the North American
Indians, performed t h ser

Out of this alteration in the
tribal life, came, in time, the in
stitutiOn of labor, and with it
the institution of marriage. The
slave could not own any prop
erty or other valuable things,
but it occurred to him that he
could take a woman, and by
mutual consent. live together
after the order of nature, and
their children would be their
own in spite of all the conven-
tons, or laws of men. That
was the commencement of the

Mr.. Calhoun and his followers

on the idea that real govern

the states and not in the United

down from colonial days, and
was the cause of the vigorous
opposition of some of the states,
notably Virginia, to the ratif

policy in its last analysis. is
made manifest in the Calhoun
notification resolutions in South
Carolina, in the decade of ls3O.
and the civil war in the decade
of 1860.
President jackson, when con

The discussions that followed
the admission Of Missouri into
the Union, were not conducted
on lines of this kind, but were
confined to those of moral sen
timent, and humanitarian con
siderations, almost exclusively.
Out on these tenantless prairies
of Nebraska, a profound silence
was maintained on the whole

their FAR reaching effect Was
not understood until some time
afterwards. The inst occurred
oa the lGta DAY Of june d that
same red letter year. 10. at
the capitol OF one OF the great
middle western states, It was
on the occasion of one Of the
political conventions of t e
country, and the one all absorb
iue question before it, was the
aggressive policy of the south,
aided By It's friend, in the north,
to extend its peculiar pet insti
tuition into tie western terri
tories. On that day t h er e
stepped from out the o%bscurity
of 1.-THE people, a tail, angular,
sad faced, bomely man. who
spoke in a voice that has since
been demonstrated to be the
right one, and the people speed
ily came to follow it, As the
waters do the moon. silently,
on their errand of mytery all
around the world. What he
said was not, so far a. words
themselves are concerned, par
ticularly original, but the APP
pliCation he made Of the famil-
lar illustration, that 4 ''house
divided against itself cannot
stand, was SO new, so apt, and
SO thoroughly descriptive of the
situation of affairs in the Coun-
try, that it became a new figure
OF speech and what followed,
the dullest of the dull, could
easily understand. That this
nation must become all one
thing, or all the other was the
conclusion of the great man
who was talking, and though
such a result would follow such
Il premise as a syllogistic con
clusiOn, seemed selfevident, yet
the mass of men took it as a
real revelation, and felt that,
Willie they had vaguely known
it all the time, it required the
terse statement of the fact they
had just heard, to give it form
and substance, as Il truth estab-
lished, in their consciousness.
1t was a new departure, for it
told every man his own secret,
and all wondered that it had
never been told before. Later.
on in that same year, the same
obscure man threw down the
gauntlet to the mighty leader of
the opposite idea, met him in a
series Of o II t discussions
through the state, and left not
Il shred of the fallicy of the so
called popular, or squatter
sovereignty doctrine, that so
much noise h a d been made
about, Tor more than tour years.
He not only destroyed and Who'll
ly wrecked the political for
tunes of his antagonist, but he
also ruined the great party that
for forty years had nursed and
pampered the institution that
had come to be the monster dis
turber of the peace of the Amer
lean Republic, and which Mr..
Lincoln said must become law
full in every part OF the country,
North as we'll as South, o
cease to exist in any part of it.
1t took only the five following
years to make that prophecy a
fixed and eternal fact.
