In doing this he accepted existing conditions, drifted along without contention with the pro-slavery people, and by unanimous approval became firmly established as leader of the party in the free and some of the slave States, notably Missouri, as much as he had been in Illinois. There was a strong sentiment on the part of many of our people in all parties of that time in favor of annexation, as a line of policy on this continent that should prevail. Doug- las held strongly to that belief, as Mr.... Webster did, who was Secretary of State in the Harrison Administration when it came into power in 1841. He continued in the Tyler suc- cession, which was well, as it gave him opportunity to com- plete the treaty with Britain on our northeastern boundary, and to retain all that was possible of the Oregon Territory. This was fortunate, for if the slaveholders' policy had pre- vailed in its entirety, Britain would probably have held not only a part, but all of the territory that is now the States of Oregon and Washington.
