may close their eyes upon the fac, that they
have been dupcd, cheated and achippsd into
the support Of the peculiar hvorhe OF The
SouthernSlaveocrals-..they may now vainly
attempt to hold in allegiance the power they
have aided in creating,-but like the Ger

breath ed again the breath of lie and given
all its former strength and vigor. What,
we ask, but the ultra Stare pO,rer, placed

1t was through the influence Of this power
that he was first northumberland with the
aid of the traitors Of the North they have
succeeded in triumphing over US, and our
own Interests are like to be sa ,rif led. 1t is
this power that now rules the presents will
rule the coming administrations and its object
is to extend itself by the annexation of Tex

facts already before the people prove
this beyond all controversy. The very
statements and confessions Of that power,
prove it. 1t stands blazoncd forth with
their own pens and is now on record as a
part of our coun'ry's history. How long
are the freemen Of the North to remain
blind in this matler2 How long is a poll
cy ex elusi,ely to favor the slave power Of
this country to be forced upon us ? and how
long are doughfaces of,heNonh! to be found
ever ready TO cooperate with that power
TO bind us to it John Randolph; said for
ever, aud tho he was at The time secuted

there was at least Joresight,-if not meth.
