most peaceful, loyal, and constitutional manner. We
committed no offence-wc were guilty OF no crime -
we DESTROYED 10 property-we niBTcd no mans per

cannot continue slaves; they become too powerful tor
their opprCssOrs; and their progress towards

aud commits 10 crime; and having once already sue
ceedcd by these means our next success is equally
certain If we adopt the vrtudus andrresstible
means. Electors of Clare, have been Illegally in
