Last week wo closed with a quotation
f rdm the Hen. Reveedt Joiirtsox. In
addition we might quote from the debates
in Cngress during the consideration of
the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, as sustaining
our position, sufficient o fill the entire
columns of our paper for weeks. Every
roan who spoke upon the subject, without
a tingle exception, declaring it to be "the
true intent and meaning cf the act to
neither legislate slavery into or out of the
fectiy free, to 'regulate, that, matter - in
their' own way.."-.- Their language is not
to be roisunicrstood ; - they said plainly
that our right to legislate upon the- sub
ject cf slavery existed as' well while in a
Territorial existence, as at the time we
- met in a Constitutional ConTention.
. e cannot refrain from making a few
extracts rom ipeeches made by advocates
of the hillas follows, viz : -.'.;
.In the House of Representatives, Feb.
17th, 1S54; Hon. A. S. Stephens of Ge
"The whole question of tlarery or no
slavery was to- be left to the peojle of ihe
Territories whether North or South of
36 30 min., or any other line."
, "We now call upon this House and the
country to carry out in good faith, and
pre effect to the spirit and.intent of those
important measures of Territorial legis-
hex
. Again on the 17th of Jan. lS56j Mr. i
Stephens said:
"I shall never negative any law they
may pass, if it is the result of fair legis
lation expressive of the. popular will. I
am. willing that the Territorial Legida
ture may act upon i the, subject when and
how- they may think proper." ... : .
' Hon. George" E.' Badger' of North
Carolina,1 in a speech delivered in the
- United States Senate cn the 15ih day of
Feb. 1S54, said: ... ,i
The clause as it stands is ample. It
. iuimits the whole authority to the Terri
tory. If the pecvle of the Territories choose to
exclude slavery bo far from considering
it a wrong done to me or my constituents
I thall not complain cf it. It is their busi-
rsess." . , . '
. Again, on the 2d of March, 1654, Mr.
Badger said: - . -
'But with regard to that question we
hare agreed seme of us because we
thought it the only right mode, and some
because we thick . it a' right mode,' and
under existingcircumstances the prefera
ble mode to confer this power upon ' the
people cf the. Territories."
Mr. Butler,, of South Cat jlina. in the
U. S.' Senate on the 2d cf March, 1S54,
fiid: ' 1 '
r , - i -
. "New I believe that under the provis
icn cf this (Kansas-Nebraska) bill, and
of the Utah and New Mexico bills ; there
trill be a perfect carte Blanche given to
the Territorial Legislatures to legislate
es they may think proper."
Mr.- Toombs -of Geonriasaid in the
Senate Feb: 2S1S5G: ;; " ;:;;
V We intend that the actual bona fide
. f ettlcrs cf Kansas shall be protected in
the full exercise of all their rights of
freemen;: that unaided and uncontrolled
they shall freely and of their own will
legislate for themselves to every extent
allowed by, the-Constitution while they
Jiave a' Territorial UovernmenU"
r .
Hon. George WV Jones of Tennessee
jn the House of Representatives, Dec
2J, XSoo referring to this subject said :
. "Then, Sir, you may call it by what
name you please.
It is, sir, the power of the people to
rovern themselves, and they, and they
alcne, shall exercise it, in my opinion, as
well while ia a Territorial condition asm
the position cf a State.
I belivs that the great principle the
right cf the people" in the Territories as
"well as in the Sta.ies,'io form and regu
late their dorr.f stic institutions ' in their
cwn way, is clearly and unequivocally
embodied ia the Kansas Nebraska Act,
end if it is net, it should have been.
Believing that it was the living vital prin
cipal of the Act, I voted for it."
Hen. Howell Cobb, Secretary of the
Treasury, in a speech rt West Chester,
Pennsylvania, on the, i9th day of Sep
tember, 1SJ3, used tl.2 : folic -ricg. lan
guage: ; ; .. "'
, "I would not plant slavery on any por
tion of. God's earth, against the will cf
the people. The Government of the
United States should not force Slavery on
the people of either the Territriesor the
States, against the will cf .the people.
The majority of the people by the action
of the Territorial Legislature will decide
the question ; and all must abide the de
cision when made." ' - '
Governor Black, in speech before the
Pennsylvania Democratic State Conven
tion in ISuO, used the following very
plain and not to : be misunderstood lan
guage: . . ;. ; .. ;, .. ; .
'I say, that the great question of slav
ery is now to be met, became the issue
is a national one, and whenever it comes
the Democratic . Party is not afraid to
meet it.: And on what grounds will they
meet it? On the grounds of Popular
Sovereignty in the Territories as well as
in the' States cn the ground that the
people have the right to establish what
ever sort of domestic government they
please within their own borders, whether
they exist as a republic independent, as a
republic connected, or as a Territory es
tablished under our system by an act of
general government in Congress assem
bled. '. Now, sir, we go into this Conven
tion, asserting that the people of every
Territory in this Union have the right to
establish whatever form of domestic gov
ernment they please, provided that they
keep within the limits of the Constitu
tion. If they choose to prohibit slavery,
they can do it. If theychooss to tolerate
and establish it, they can do it. The
general government can take no notice of
it, as I contend, either at the time it ex
ists in a Territory, or when that Terri
tory knocks at the coor of the Union for
admission as a State. rApplause.l"
Even last fall, when the Executive took
part in the Delegate campaign in this
Territory, in a public speech in this city,
he advanced the same doctrine, in sub
stance as follows :
, "The Dred Scott decision does not
bring slavery into Nebraska; it does cot
extend slavery anywhere. It gives the
people of the States the right to go to the
Territories with their property. The ci
tizen cf Iowa may bring his property, and
the citizen of Missouri his slaves. But
whether their sroparty will be protected
here depends upon the local law. -The
doctrine that slavery is extended over the
Territories, by virtue of that decisioni is
not in the Dred Scott decision; , and any
person who asserts the contrary, does so
either through gross ignorance or willful
misrepresentation."
"But there is no use quoting further to
prove what was the interpretation of the
Kansas-Nebraska Act by its friends at
time of its passage, and up to the presen
tation of the Kansas Lecompton Constitu
tion ; they all agreed that it was the poli
cy to transfer the slavery question from
the Halls of Congress to the peopla of
the Territories to be formed into new
States, and that at any period in their ex
istence they had a perfect right to dojust
as they pleased in regard to it, through
their Territorial Legislature either pro
hibit or establish. Mr. Buchanan knows
this to be the fact. Gov. Black knows it,
and so does every other intelligent man
in the country. It was by and of this in-
erpretation and construction that Mr.
Buchanan, and those under him, now hold
he position they do. , Any other con
struction would have overwhelmingly de
eated .the Democratic party at the . last
Presidential campaign.
Senator Iverson, of Georgia, the other
day, in the United States Senate, "let the
cat out of the bag." Hear him :
"But, sir, the history of emigration in
o the lerntones tor the last ten or
twelve years, has taught the southern
people a severe and salutary lesson. It
has opened their eyes to the inevitable
effects and fatal results of the 'squatter
sovereignty' doctrine of General Cass
and his northern friends. The settlement
and fate of California satisfied me and
the whole South, that under that doctrine
as the established policy of the govern
ment, the southern people, with their
slave property, would be as effectually
excluded from all the public Territories
as they could possibly be by the Wilmot
proviso. The emigration to Calif oruia
was under the general impression and
understanding that Congress would not
interfere to change the local Mexican
law which prohibited slavery, but would
leave the people to establish and regu
late their domestic institutions in their
own way. Congress, in fact, refused and
neglected to establish any territorial gov
eminent, but left the people, who swarm
ed into that country frcm the grea
northeru free-soil hive, to set up a .gov
ernment of their own", and admitted her
into the Union with an anti-slavery con
stitution." ...
The only way this "vexed question" can
ever be peaceably and harmoniously set
tled, is to !eave it to the people not Gov.
Bla'Vjp ki. Jf people, however- dir 2ct
ly interest. d. Let then settle i: in t'ieir
own way. If they want ! very, ; it' no
body's buunss; let thera hava it; if
they do not ttant it, it must not be forced
upon them.
Now, we ask in the name of high
Heaven, what was accomplished by the
compromise measure of the Kansas-Nebraska
Act, if we, in a Territorial exist
ence, have not the power to prohibit or
establish slavery in Nebraska as we,, see
proper? No sane man or party; ever
called in question the right or power of a
Territory, when they had met "in "Con
vention to frame a State? Convention,' to
act upon the slavery question they al
ways had that pacer.; Then, we repeat,
what additional power or rights did they
acquire by virtue of the organic acts of
the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska,
if we are to receive , as gospel the doc
trines now advanced by President Bucha
nan, Governor Black, and others who
sustain their positions ? Have the people
been willfully humbugged ? IJas any hew
light been had on this great question? Or
are political tricksters afraid to trust the
people in governing themselves! We
shall see. The people are singular folks
in some things they will have their own
way they will rule somehow; and
strange as it may seem, conclude they are
capable of self-government read, act,
think, and vote for themselves have abo
lished the office of dictator, and discard
ed that portion of political creeds which
required to "go it blind." . .
For reasons heretofore given, we find
our present article sufficiently lengthy for
a single issue, and will resume the sub-
ect again next week. ' ,r ; ' '

, Ter j Knowing.
An anonymous writer in the last num
ber of the Nemaha City Herald, signing
himself "A' Republican," appears to be
greatly exercised in regard to "Mr. Fur
nas." We hope we have done or said
nothing in our public or private capacity
to' disturb the equilibrium, or peaceful
slumbers of ;A Republican," or anybody
else, Now, please, don't fret! ,
Seriously, we have no objection what-
ever; admit it to be the perfect' right of
"A. Republican," or any one ' else who
wishes, to examine closely, and criticise
severely, if they see proper, -our public
and political acts. But we do object, and
shall not submit, to being misrepresented
by any one, especially when he doing so,
has not the manliness to attach his
name to an article of that character; but
skulks behind a fictitious signature, and
from his hiding place hurls before the
public what he cannot but know is false.
We are unwilling to admit that any one
professing to have common sense, could
be so consumately ignorant as not to know
that the charge "Because he gave Whyte,
Holladay and Neal, the preference in a
ferry charter over 85 of our best citizens
as petitioners for the same," is false from
beginning to end ! This is the only por
tion of "A Republican's" labored article
we deem of sufficient importance to no
tice for .we suppose he honestly believes
all else he says, and we would not dis
turb him for the world. We would not
even notice this ferry matter had we not
been informed that there has been "more
talk" in regard to it than the simple : re
ference to it in the, article referred to,
and that too by one who should be the
last to say a word censuring us; and of
tch om and touching some other matters 'an
opportunity may yet present itself to say
more, and to a better advantage than'
through the columns of a newspaper
That n wrong impression may not go
abroad, we will very briefly- give 'our
readers the facts in regard to the ferry
charter matter.. . At the session of the
Legislature 1858, Allen L. Coate .sent
us an Act of 'his own getting tip, entitled
"An act to amend an act entitled an art
to establish a Ferry across the Missouri
River at the mouth of the Little Nema
ha, approved March 9,'. 1S55." ' The
amendatory act, as sent iis; proyided no
time at which the rights under the char
ter commenced or terminated, and would,
had it passed in that shape, have been of
no use whatever to Mr. Coate or any one
else. We therefore offered an amend
ment pro'iding that the privileges should
extend for a period of twenty-five years.
We were unable to secure its passage in
that shape ; but did get it through writh
"fifteen years" inserted in place of twen
ty-five years. With this exception, the
bill was passed by the Legislature -just
as it vas gotten up and sent us, accompa
nied by the ; "85 names." A few days
after we received, a petition from citizens
of Aspinwall, asking a charter for a ferry
across the Missouri River at that point.
vision incorporated in the Aspinwall
charter, there cT.be no conflicting
wh"i2ver, asan i rlligent man can see
j reference to. the-Wo charters. We
.ave already given this little affair more
:pac 'and attction.than it demands, and
hope it may prove satisfactory to those
who are gcverned by other than a delight
in finding fault., and misrepresenting.

however, show a new turn in affairs. -At

Should this be done, and the Rep

nearly played out all around, and that a
