tons of this republic in one wide spread
scene Of desolation and ruin. Principles
were industriously promulgated. the direct
tendency Of which, was, to lull the con-
science OF the nation into a still deeper and
more deaih-like slumber-transferTin the
guilt Of S.ave-holding to former genera
ton and exonerating the free States from
any participation Of the crime.
