It was slave territory, and it was not as much as the South was entitled to in proportion to numbers. Yet, this manifest measure of justice was denied, and "no compromise with an oppressive slave oligarchy," was the cry — the cry of the wolf that accused the lamb of muddying the water.

The proportion of slave territory was therefore about four square miles of the former to one of the latter. Let this fact be borne in mind, the proportion of slave territory to free territory was about four to one. Amon
