In his speech at Lexington KY, in September,
1896, printed under his own eye, in one of his
friendly presses, the Lexington lntellgencer, and
also printed in Niles Register, of the 18th Sept
1886, Mr. Clay says: | consider slavery as a
"a curse to the master wrong, grevous
wrong to the slave. In the abstract it is all wrong
and no possible contingency can make it right"
Here Mr.. Clay deliberately denounces slavery as
sd curse" "a 'orong," "d grjeUous ,0rong 10 The
saUe" and to cap the climax he adds, no possible
contingency can make dr;gh." What stronger en-.
couragement can Abolition ask than this Men
of the South do you consider that you, as charged
by Mr. Clay, are offering "a grievous wrong to the
save~ If so, write the irrevocable sentence of
your own acknowledged guilt and self degradation,
by electng to the highest office in your gift, the
very man who has thus condemned, rebuked and
denounced you And when you hive done the
deed, and the rejoicing shouts of Vermont and
Massachusetts,, and the other Wing States of the
North, triumphant, by your aid over your friends,
the PROSTATE Democracy of the North, shall pro-
claim to you, in the language Of your President,
ABOLlSH SbANEhf, WHICH you yourselves VIII lUuS
have declared GA GRIEvoUs WRONG TO THE SLAVE"
AND NO POSSIBLE CONTINGENCY CAN MAKE IT
RIGHT" what will be your answer, and how will
you escape the sentence Of your own self condem-
nation? Reflect, Then, Wings of the South, our
brethren and fellow citizens, pause and consider
well all the dreadful consequences, before you sink
us all together into one common abyss of ruin and
degradation.

Washington City, September %, 1874
Such Fellow Citizens, is the character of the
Document which Locoocolsm sends broadcast
through the Slave States, to rally that section of
the Union in favor of Candidate nominated en-
pressly to strengthen, extend and perpetuate the
DOMINION OF SLAVERY, and against Hen
ry Clay.
What, then, is the duty of the North? What
course shall we take? How should Freemen vote?
We leave intelligent, patriotic, liberty loving Elcc-
tors to answer these questions at the Ballot Box.
POSTSCRIPT.
Since the above was sent to the COM
positor, a loco trick has been discovered,
in reference to this Address of the Dem
ocratic Association of Washington, DC"
which is to be equalled only by the trick
of the great organ of the loco foco party,
Ito wit the Washington Globe in send
ING anti-tariff matter to the South and
omltng it from its Northern edition. -
Precious rascals What confidence can
the loco foco party have in its recognized
leaders, when they are caught in such
Misunderstanding 1t is certain that some
body is to be duped by them-either the
South or the North and will honest and
well meaning men Of the loco foco party
in the North, run the risk of being the
dupes of such knavcs But to the trick:
Immediately on the appearance of this
Address, at the North, republished for
distribution there by the Wing committee
at Washington, the Globe came out with
card from the officers of the association,
in which they say
"This is a base forgery. We hare an.
thorj=ed no such use Of the title Of car As
ISOLATION 10 ana document issued under tho
auspices Of the Wing Congressional tranE-
ing Committee. If, therefore, the Democ-
racy of the Free States should find any
document of the character such as the H.
tie of this might indicate in circulation
amongst them, they will denounce it as a
Wing forgery, and treat the trick as it de-
serves"
Upon the appearance of this card, the
Hon. Willis Green of Ky. (of the Wing
comnitee,) comes out in full and per-
feet exposure of the iniquity of locofoco
ism in high places. This charge of for
gerry proves to be mcre bubble, founded
upon the words above in 1ialic. They had
not indeed authorized the Whig Commit
tee to print this document for the North.
but the locoloco committee had issued il
for exclusive circulation in the South
Mr. Green sent an agent to purchase a large
quantity of the loco loco edition, but was
refused, and therefore he procured true
reprint of the loco foco document for dis
tribution throughout the country. Robert
]. Walker, U. S. Senator, locofoco COM
mttee-man, and leader in the Texas
schemes the reputed author of the adj
dress. He had it printed for the South
had il folded in the document room of the
Senate, and thence carefully carried tc
his own room, ready for circulation at the
South and at The South, the locos do no
pretend to deny the authenticity of the
document. 1t was only when their owl
electioneering matter had been sent to
The North, that they attempted TO repudiate
it. Trickery and double-dealing like thi'
need no comments.
A single question to every freeman =
When the very author of The Texas scheme
avows that E" the only hope of the South
the only hope Of Slavery-is TO defea
Mr.. Clay and carry annexation, and ap
peals on these grounds TO the Slavcocrac!
to rally against Mr.. Clay--we ask if
is not the only safe and consistent cours'
of every friend of freedom to exert his ut
most to support Mr.. Clay Through Mr.
Clay, the Slaveocracy strike their heavies
