Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Power of Congress Over the Territories: Speech of Hon. Lewis Cass, of Michigan, in Senate of the United States, March 13 and 14, 1850
Mr. Foote. Do I understand the Senator from New York as saying Mr. Jefferson asserted that the northern Democracy was the natural ally of slavery? He never said such a word.
Mr. Cass. I will not touch upon that ques tion; but [will ask the Senator from New York in relation to another point - and that is, if he meant it in the sense which Mr. Jefferson, or whoever may have used it, intended? The one was ia tended as a commendation for their attachment to constitutional principles - the other as a slur upon a great party.
