A. DOUGLAS, African slavery. During the whole of this period domestic tranquil- lity and fraternal feeling prevailed. Second. From 1820, when the Missouri compromise was adopted, to 1848 and 1850, when it was repudiated and finally abandoned, all- the Territories were organized with reference to the policy of an equitable partition between the two sections upon the line of 3G° 30'. During this period there was no serious difficulty upon the territorial question, 80 long as the Missouri compromi...se was adhered to, and carried out in good faith. Third. From 1850, when the original doctrine of non-intervention, as it prevailed during the first thirty years, was re-established as the policy of the Government in the organization of Territories, and the admission of new States, to the present time, there has been a constant struggle, except for a short interval, to overthrow and repudiate the policy and principles of the compromise measures of 1850, for the pur- pose of returning to the old doctrine of congressional intervention for the prohibition of slavery in all the Territories, south as well as north of the Missouri line, regardless of the wishes and condition of the peo- ple inhabiting the country.
