A great and powerful party resolved at last upon the restraining and control of slavery, so that it should not extend beyond the States and the area which it now occu' pies. But now, if we look at the Government of the United States, almost ever since the union, we shall find that the Soutliern power has been mostly dominant there. If you take six-and-lhirt}" years after the formation of the constitution, you 11 will find that for tliirtj-two of those years every President was a Southern man ; ...and if you take the period from 1823 until 1860, you will find that, on every election of President, the South voted in the majority. Well, we know what an election is in the United States for President. There is a most extended suffrage and there is a ballot-hox. The President and the House of Representatives are elected by the same electors, and generally they are elected at the same time ; and it follows, therefore, almost inevitably, that the House of Representatives is in complete accord in public policy with the President for the time being.
