I stand by them all: " We still tell all the owners of this pulslic domain to enter and enjoy it, both in the North and the South, with property of every sort ; exercise the fuU'powers of American freemen ; legislate for yourselves to any and every extent, and upon . Any and every subject allowed by our common Constitution. " This is put in large letters. I approve every word of it now. I think it very sound. I do not know what it is put in the speech of the Senator from Illinois for, unless it... is to be used in order to cover some generality; to be used by people who have not quite dis- crimination enough to know the difi'erence between legislating according to the Constitu- tion and legislating against the Constitution. Again, he quotes, and in very large letters: " I thought it was the duty of the Government to protect slave property in the Territories until they should come into the Union as States, and then let ttiem do as they pleased. There was not a large party to sustain this doctrine ; but I believed it was right tlien, and believe so now.
