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

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

justice in turning me out of the church—and
you can do it as soon as you please."
