the breaking up of their places Of refuge. And In
this cause the blood and sweat OF freemen must
he poured out without limit; unless we yet succeed
in preventing Annexation.
Bot look at the Courier's argument: Weare to stop
the Foreign Slave-trade of Texas by Annexation.
That Is stopped already Texas has no, for year.
lawfully admitted slaves except from the United
States And this trade will be enormously increased
by Annexation Many man will sell his own chill
dren to die under the whip in the distant and pestl'
ent cane breaks Of Texas many professed Chris
ian will sell wives away from their husbands, tender
children from their parents to die OF anguish expo
sure and fevcrs on the plantations OF the Brassos
and Colorado. And this mighty aggregate OF crime
and misery will press heavily on the souls OF
hose pretended devo,ees Of Freedom who saw the
iniqaiy approaching, knew its character, yet did
nothing or less than their utmost, to prevent IT.
All the Couriers illustrations rightly read, refute
its argument Slavery every where is and ever was
most aggravated Just where it is was most proht'
able There is no, a slave in Virginia or Maryland
who doe. not shudder at the thought Of being sen'

So OF the Courers two-hundred acre argument
If Slavery were legally confined to the original Thir

Any man holding one hundred negroes in bondage,
