According to the Senator's argument I could show him that Illinois was committed to the doctrine of federal protection to property in the Territories and the remedy of secession us a State right ; committed irrevocably, unmistakably, with no right to plead any ignorance of the poii'i il creed of the individual, or the meaning of his words. In 1852 — I refer to it with pride — Illinois did me the honor to vote consistently for me, for the Vice- Presidency, up to tlui time of iidjoiirnment ; thou...gh in 1850, and in 1851, I had fiopa HI these nets which have been spoken of, and the Si nator lias admitted my consistency in opinions which were avowed with at least such perspicuity as left nobody in doubt as to my pq sit ion. Did Illinois then adopt my theory of pro- tection in the Territories, or of the right of State secession? No, Sir. I hold them to no such conse- quences. Some of the old inhabitants of Illinois may have remembered me when their northern frontier was a wilderness, when they and I had kind relations in the face of hostile Indians.
