Meet Tonight, Pick Nominees CONCORD (AP) The New Hampshire General Court largest state legislature in the nation--convenes its 1961 session tomorrow. But most of the opening day action will be decided at Republican caucuses tonight. Overwhelming GOP majorities in both branches of the 423-member Legislature will meet to nominate a Senate president and a House speaker. They'll also name their candidates for secretary of state and state treasurer the two constitutional officers elected by the Legislature. Because Republicans outnumber Democrats 18-6 in the Senate and 259-139 in the House, the GOP nominees are virtually certain of winning election when the lawmakers officially assemble.

Like most issues human beings have to handle It extremely complicated and its implications were not always clear, but in fhe main it hid lo do with (he existence (n America of thn Institution of chattel slavery. There were of course olhcr issues In that year, but in one way or another they all seemed (o revolve around this question of slavery. There was no unanimity of feeling, because the institution Itself affected different people in such different waji. In the cotton stales of the Deep South slavery in I8fi0 was a going concern, immensely profil- ahle lo a small but powerful gtoup, buttressed by all sorts of prejudices and habits of mind; an institution, furthermore, that was so deeply imbedded in the social and economic of tbe cotton South a no one could sec how to get rid of it without causing a shattering convulsion. In the more northerly (ier of southern stales slavery was slowly but visibly withering on the vine.

It was still something everyone was adjusted (o, and people (ended lo approach it with their emotions rather than with their minds, but it was not ciuitc the here as in thc Dfcp South. North of Ihe Mason and Dlion Line slavery had been discarded altogether, nnd more and more people were coming to feel Ilial It ought to be abolished everywhere as speedllr as possible. Sentiment was by no means united, ho-jcver; (here were many people in Ihe North who disliked slavery but were perfectly willing to go along with it on Ihe ground that it was really a problem for the Southerners. For a long lime Ihis slavery problem had seemed loo hot (n handle, and consequently il had not been handled.

Not even the Republicans argued a the federal government had any authority (o limit or abolish thc institu- lion in the separate states. The whole problem revolved around the territorial issue and it was already becoming obvious thai slavery was nol going to put down lasting roots in the lerrilorics no matter whal the federal government might rto.
