Portrait and biographical album of Jackson County, Michigan : containing full page portraits and biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens of the County together with portraits & biographies of all the governors of the State and of the presidents of the United States . the spring; of 1854, during the administration ofGovernor Paisons, the Republican party, at leastas a Slate organization, was first formed in the LfnitedStates under the oaks at Jackson, by anti-slaverymen of both the old parties. Great excitement pre-vailed at this time, occasioned by the settling ofKansas, and the issue thereby brought up, whetherslavery should exist there. For the purposeof permit-ting slavery there, the Missouri compromise (whichlimited slavery to the south of 36 30) was re-repealed, under the leadership of Stephen A, was repealed by a bill admitting Kansas andNebraska into the Union, as Territories, and those opposed to this repeal measure were in shortcalled anti-Nebraska men. The epithets, Ne-braska and anti-Nebraska, were temporally em-ployed to designate the slavery and anti-slave:yparties, pending the desolution of the old Democraticand Whig parties and the organization of the and Republican parties of the GO VERNORS OF MICHIGAN. «37
