Now how does it work Why's Ew weeks ago.

State officers, their Legislatures aud their members
OF Congress, have every fitting occasion, raised
their voices for Equal Rights And where is the
occasion for any abolitionisl TO vote for third par

AT the last trial IN Congress, the gag rule would
have been repealed had there been in Congress 3
