Lut for this limitation the slave Males got la I' mure than uu equivalent in being allowed iu the .National Congress and lu Presidential elec tions three votes for every livu slaves, Slaves do not vote, but their masters vole for them.

He couldn't do it ten years ago, nor twenty years ago, nor ut any time since Ohio ex isted ns a state in tho Union. Why is this so? Does not the Constitution "prevail equally over ull the Union?

So was Iowa and whut r giit has Iowa, any more than Kansas, to d .scrim, mite against slave prop erty so as to deprive citizens of any portion of the Union of their iMt.oual and constitu tional rights? This discr.miimtioii against slave property us regards emigration into free States, wo luivo thus shown, has al ways existed, anil never by the South been considered a hardship. And why? L c mse, perhaps, the citizens of thu slave States felt, the privilege to vote 0:1 their slaves, that species of property hud ubtii lli d iccul.iir und transcendent nilvnnlnge over all other properly in tho Union, thut more than compensates lor its 0110 restrict, on, to w.t: that it should not enter into uud esluu l.sh itself in five States. If the South is tired of this disciiiniun- tiou against slave property, which has ex isted since the government wus established, uud desires it abandoned, then the South should propose to uhnudoii uNo the privd- 'es that such properly eiijovs. hiuvly it is only fair that property should, iu point of fact, become equal belore it claims to go as equal iniocoiuiuou terr.tory 01 llio 1 11:011. il tho South decline the 0110 low cuu it fairly claim tiie othei?

Inasmuch ns the entire Democratic par ol' tiie free Stabs are as decidedly op posed as even the Ucpuhl.cun party, to the extension ot slavery over territory previ ously free, it is quite evident that Congress wdl never intervene to protect slave proper ly iu the Terr.tories. Sueh being the fact, those Southern men, who object lo Mr. Hates as u slavery restrictionist, might well ask ttiemselvis whether more of honor or advantage is gained by asking what cannot be hid, and submitt ug to the fatal neces s iyof denial nnddeicat; or usking only that the present limits, privileges, u:ul guar antees of slavery be niainta,ned, and obtain ing it with the che.rful nud hearty concur rence of nine tenths of ull parties iu the Union.
