SEMI= NUMBER THREE t-- To THE PEOPLE OP PENNSYLVANIA • FP/hot VitizeßS:—The manner of organizing the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, you will agree with us, is not necessarily an issue in this contest—it is not • subject connected with the duties of a State Executive It is scarcely pos sible that the election of a Governor, whoever i lmay sueoeed, is to have any practical bearing up on the future policy of those territories—and surely no man will be so unreasonable as to hold the Governor of Pennalvania accountable in any official sense for what Congress has already done on this subject It is a subject with which that officer has had, and can have, officially, nothing whatever to do. As a member of the Demoertic , party it must be presumed that he takes an in terest in public affairs, and has not been an in attentive observer that there has existed a diver sity of opinion in relation to certain features of this measure Since the origin of our government, with oc casional intervals, the question of slavery in some of its phases, ham been a subject of violent and at times dangerous controversy in Congress, awns chi, the peace of the people and the existence of the national confederacy Its adjustment within the territories has led to the most threat ning struggles These were invariably renewed by every new acquisition of territory In 1820, the act of Congress fixing the Missouri line was adopted interdicting the extension of slavery north of 36 deg. 30 min as a means of settling the controversy growing out of the acquisition of Louisiana from France in 1803 In 1845 this line was extended over Texas, which had just been annexed to the United States and seemed to answer the purpose of an adjustment In 1.44' , , however, when it was proposed to ex tend this parallel of 36 deg 30 min from the Rio del Norte to the Pacific, it was defeated iu the House of Representatives, after having pass ed the Senate by a majority of ten votes The agitation in the country SO Q II became general, and by 18.50 it had assumed an alarming aspect. The good and great men of all parties, forgetting former differences and cuustrained by a noble spirit of patriothen. mined ILI a common effort to allay the mighty surging of au excited public sentiment Foremost in alit- great work was the eloi l utnt and patriotic Clay, sustained by Cass, Webster, King and others A series of acts %sue passed, familiarly known as the Compro mise Measures, which were acceptable to the peo ple and were ardently maintained One of these acts organized the territories of New Mexico and Utah, on the principles of non intervention—on the plan of allowing the people to decide fur themselves whether they would have the institution of slavery or not The whole eountry seemed satifieil with the doctrine of uou intervention by Congress, in the regulation of the domestic institutions of the territories, in cluding that of slavery Without stopping to inquire into the constitutional power of Congress to legislate on the subject ur to what extent that power might be .xert ised. the people regirded it as wise and politic to remove this topic of angry and dangerous coutroversy out of Congress, and confide it to those who may occupy the territo ries We may however remark that the slues tiou of authority in the passage of the ordinance I - l' .-- '• Cempromiee or any slavery restrietiou whatever. under our pre sent ~orietitiiiien Under the C, m _ federation the iustitutiou of slavery was, not re 1 os. iu three several }articular cognizedo-under the Ist In fixing the basis ,nltititi and C , institutiou direct taxation deratiug t.,reige sire. trade until isoe. 31 In pro piing to the rendition of fugitives treLU labor It it even be clear that Congress is p os sessed of ample power to legislate on the subject and edam Gen CASs and other i:ne is nt st m ou e t n ly of de t n h iL e sl I forego its exercise The resort to this mode of county it was proper to adjustment in 1..50, seemed most auspicious for the honor, the dignity, and peace of the States —for the happiness and prosperity of the people, and above all, for the stability of our National rotes uttr..a.•••••n ,:. ) it, • n -I • • :non'. -*,' •A .Nutt-Nri , f 1.1%4 :I , I. 1.. 11 ,,, 1il t lk , ' . ire it:iui,i it A,. 1% , '.I tit i , I`l: .
