the United States are by-word and re-
nroach among the nations of the earth. And
this is not ala government OF the people,
and vet government deaf to all entreaty ;
on this subject; The voice of petition Is
stiied-the cries of the oppressed are I'M
heeded-and the shackles OF unrequIted ser
vitude would be rendered perpetual, even by
! the representatives of the Tree States! And
not only so-but the subject is refused DIS
cussion, the privilege of speech, and the
| freedom of the press unrestralned; and the
advocates of the rights OF man, the defend
ers of the principles Of our Declaration OF |
Independence, are insuted and abused as |
iasurrectionists, fanatics, disunionists, and |
murderers And why 2 Because we would
interfere, say they, with the peculiar anStl-
tuition Of the South We interfere with no
institutions that are founded In justice, and
promote the best interests OF man but OF
injustice and oppression, avarice and cruelty,
ignorance and vice, robbery and lewdness,
in whatever shape or connection, we-are
the uncompromising enemies. And what
: ever we would disapprove in individuals,
, we would disapprobate In communities,
however numerous or digniied. 1t is no
, mitigation Of an offence, that maLy are en-
gagged In it, or that it has long been practic-
!. ed. Though hand join in hand, the wicked

iquity and bare-faced Inconsistencies as ac-
company slavery in all its length and breadth.
