In all unfortunate hour, say. then,
the Sabine was m; de the line Of houn-

suits of that decision. We see our

luton on account Of This very ttrr,to-
ry, unwisely given up by Mr.. Monroe;
we see the slave institutions of the
South in danger Of being overturned
by tie establishment of "a free state in
the Texan region; we see that extern
