the true Union as it can only be
preserved by restoring to Kansas :
the freedom of which she i robbed, j
and guarding Liberty against any fur- j

it was clearly unnecessary, where by local,

that if a doubt existed a to its exclusion,

me by a page from the desk. It is bat a
repetition of the first interrogatory, with.
; the addition of a statemeut of fact. Ia
! regard to that statement, I will say that
1 it is doubted whether the institution of
Slavery existed in these Territories at tho
time they were acquired. Without going
into the question whether France, by thw
decree of 1794, abolished the institution
j of SIveV cre, I will say that, if it were,
"CCCS3ary that the Congreai of the United
; ates hon!d interdict that institution in
i those Territories in order to make them
free, I think that Congress was right ia
doing it. If it were necessary, in order
to give to the South thc right to carry the
institution of Slavery there, that the in
