eqtially, manifested (even a 'id load threats

to divide the new empire beween freedom
- and slaverY, was sustained by a majority of
the. Democrats-- from the free States. But
there was no portion 'of the Democratic par
ty of the North in that , day, that would not
have spurned the thought of perinitting the
institution of slavery to enter any of the free
territories of the United Statos ; no portion
of that'party here that ever :inceived of Cal
