wishing to employ the army and navy OF the -
n;,od States in the forcibc liberation OF tho
slaves. Tho many calumnes, and lnsinuations

those who arc so nsidiously attempting to ProJu-

to-day, that they are presumlhg too much upon
popular crcdulity, and their own significance,
when they set themselves up as tho exclusive
guardians Of the honor and welfare of tho State,
and undertake to dcnounce and ostraclse me rs
an enemy to the country. Having some small
interest in the soil, as we'll in tho good namo of
tho commonwealth, with all my humility and
love Of equality, cannot but give utteranco 20
somo touches of contempt and indignation TO
those feeders upon the crumbs which fall from o.
thor mems tables, who affect much sensibihty
about The property Of tho country. If there IS in
our state something improper or dangerous to be
talked or written about, | put it TO ovcry true and
manly koniuckan, if that thing is not improper
and dangerous in its existence among US! And
if So is no who undertakes to remove tho evil tho
man, who, seeing the wrong, for tho sake of pop
uar,y, and a narrow self-ntoresi, in opposition
to tho welfare of the great mass of the people.

coward, and truly deserving tho cxecratlon of his
countrymen! lam not ashamed to admit that, Il
am the uncornpromsing foe of tyranny, wncrcv-

tornal enemy of slavery. At tho Same time,
oxporienco-taught cha rity warns me to lose mono
of my sympathy for the Shareholder, because of
his misfortune or his fault; and whilst would be
Just tho Black, am FREQ to confess, that every
