the position of Judge Dougias is not novel, we
give below the remarks attributed to him, together with extracts from the speevhes of a num
ber of other gentlemen, who hold to views precisely similar.
. Douglas, in auswer to a question propounded
. by Lincoln, said :
. ‘The next question Mr, Lincola propounded
}tome is: ‘Cau the people of a Territory ex(clude slavery from their limits, by any fair
. means, before it’ comes into the baton asa
. State’? TI auswer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoin
. bas heard me answer a hundred times, on every stuinp in Tilinois, that, iu my opinion, the
. people of a Territory can, by lawful means, ex. clude slavery before it comes in as a State. Mr,
. Lincoln kuew that l had given that answer
over aud over again. He beard me argue the
. Nebraska Bill on that principle, all over the
. State, in 1854-55 aud °56, and he has now no
excuse to pretend to have any doubt upon that
. Subject. Whatever the Supreme Court may
. hereafter decide, as to the abstract question of
. whether slavery may go in under the Constitu. tion or not, the people of a Territory have the
. luwiul means to admit it or exetude it, as they
please ; for the reason that slavery cannot exist
u day or an hour woywhere unless supported by
local pohee regulations, furnishing remedies
aod means of enforcing the right to hold slaves.
Those local and police reguiatious can ouly be
