These men are not blind. 1t is now a,
quite manifest from their words and con- {
duct, that after watching with eagle eyes {
the whole course of things at home and
abroad for the last half dozen years, they
have identified the movements Of the abo-
lition cause with the march Of human i'm
provement; and they are as sure Of the
consummation of the former, as of the
continued advancement OF the latter. They
See in the distance the mighty car rolling
on upon them, whose earthquake power
will shake their rotten fabric to the ground I
and grind it to powder.
As for slavery in the District Of Colum-
bia, the present aspect of things affords no
cause for despair The present is believ-
ed to be the last Congress in which so few
will stand up to defend the right Of Pc
tition. 1t is confidently believed that in
every future session the number will be
increased ofthose who, either from a sense
of duty owed to their eonsciences, their
country OF their God or from due re-
gard to the wishes Of their constituents,
will stand forth, first against such outrage
Gus tyranny and shameful inconsistency as
now reign in the lower House of Con-
gress, and then for the suppression of the
bloody traffic on the national domain
There must be the same reaction here that
there has been in regard to mobs; for the
rights of the people are as ruthless y and
as unconsttutionalIy invaded in some of
the treatment which their petitions and the
bearers oftheir petitions have received, as
in the past outbreakings ofthe Iawless rab-
Bile, the tools of Northern aristocracy.-
The remedy is one; bnt the machinery by
which it is applied in the latter instance is
more complicated. The remedy is with
. the people, But instead ofappIying it with
, their own Lands directly, as in the former
! case, they must now make use Of instru
. ments. 1.-THE instruments already formed
: cannot be made willing and obedient, then
others must be created. This will take &
;, little time, but if need be, it can, and mus,
4 and will be done.

have been developed showing that tn

IN southwestern charnel house which this M

Of Of Northern members Of Congress- VIII
