Why, sir, for years the people of the free States have been struggling to restore the early policy of the government, prohibiting the introduction of slavery into the Terri- tories, and, after many defeats, they have at last triumphed at the polls. And now in the very hour of their victory it is demanded that their colors shall be hauled down, their flag surrendered, and they are not only required to give up their policy of pro- hibition, but to grant a constitutional recognition and protection... to slavery in all our present Territories, and in all we may acquire hereafter. The terms of peace are, an unconditional surrender ; that we shall pass directly from the position we have so long occupied on to the platform of the secessionists. We may not even halt at the quarters of the popular sovereigns, they being expected to join us as we pass in the grand pro- cession. And what is to be conceded to us for this great humiliation ? A prohibition of slavery where it is already shut out forever.
