GAS am situated here with the whole
field Of battle before me, where think

arrayed on both sides, l may perhaps be
excused for giving you short statements
Of the facts on which l arrive at certain
conclusions, in regard TO the policy which
ought to be pursued BY the friends Of hu,

trodden African his natural rights, has but
recently been agi;ated TO any extent among
Us and when first presented il was NOT
understood by the people generally From
this fact, feel bound to place but little
stress upon any declaration made against
Abolition or Abolitionisis, al time when
their views were not understood. On this

and the acts of their friends of late, and
the present time.

as enemies to slavery. The Van Buren,
party constantly speak of the Wings as
Abolilionists, and use their efforts 10 ere.
ate divisions among the Northern and
Southern Wings on that account.
The Globe and leading politicians Of

most bitter contempt, and scott at and vi.
