Chairman. At this period of time the whole government of the country was under the influ- ence and power of the slave oligarchy. The executive, legislative and judicial depart- ments all were required to do its bidding, and were prompt in the execution of every order. We now approach the year 1848. This year is memorable for two great political events : 1st. A new political faith was got up for the Demo- cratic party — by the South, of course. It ap- peared in a letter written by General Cass, ...the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, to Mr. Nicolson, of Tennessee. It obtained the sobri- quet of "Squatter Sovereignty. " It was got up by the slave power for the occasion, and subse- quently abandoned by it. It left it optional with the inhabitants of the territories whether free- dom or slavery should prevail. The popular cant of submitting to the will of the people, was dwelt upon with unusual energy. It made no difference that the doctrine ran directly counter to the well established opinions of all parties of earlier days.
