Excerpt from the Republican Party Platform, 1860
That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom. That, as our
Repubican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory [Northwest Territory),
ordained that "no persons should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law," it
becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain the provision of the
Constitution against all attempts to violate it, and we deny the authority of Congress, of a territorial
legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States.

They were opposed to it.

Explanation:

The Republican party was formed by people opposed to slavery in the United States. Seeing however, that they could not abolish it in the U.S. due to the power of the Southern States in Congress, they opted instead to limit its spread into the U.S. territories that were yet to be states.

This excerpt shows them explaining why it was necessary that they limit slavery in the territories. The Republican party became increasingly powerful and this worried the Southern States so much so that when Republican Abraham Lincoln became President, they seceded because they thought he would move to abolish slavery in all of the U.S.
