his eloquent, far reaching and forclb'e
speech.

represented. has ,riumphed over the
power of liberty and free labor. Our
Offices of honor and profit have been
almost by shareholders,

to the fostering of slave labor, a. the
expense of free labor. The system
of internal improvements. as carried
ON by the General Government-the
land bill-a national currency. and a.
bove all, the Tariff, have all been pros
,ra,ed at the feet of the slave power
And now, when the people of the
North seem TO be opening their eyes to
the real sacrifices which they have

mocracy. to the rule of Slavery, by the
ruinous results of the reduction OF HE
