TRUMBULL. We mean no degradation to the South. I am sorry that the word "South" has been used with regard to this alleged right to extend Slavery to a Territory. I tried yester- day to explain that the South is made up of a great many persons who are not slaveholders, by tar many mure than the slaveholders, and therefore 1 do not know what right those who hold slaves have to arrogate to themselves that they are the South. They are a portion of the • South, and a small portion only, about one- t...wentieth part, as shown by the census. The Senator asks if this platform of principles is only intended to apply to the Territories. Most assuredly the Republican party had its origin in the question of Slavery in regard (o the Territo- ries. It was the departure from the policy of this Government, from the day of its foundation down to 1S54, which gave rise to che Republican . 1 riy. It was an organization in reference to the question of Slavery in the Territories, and nowhere else. There is nothing in this platform in regard to the question of Slavery in the States of this Union; and, lest I forget it, permit me to say that I speak not for the Republican party, except as its platform speaks.
