The indignation of party who have shown
themselves VIGOROUSLY INSCRIPTIONS in re-

Barnbarners' Convention, against the cx>
tension of Slavery. will do him more credit
with honest men, than any previous docu>
menl from his pen. HIS views on this most
important subject, are here ably pre-
sened, aud are the same entertained anh

the Wing party, for years. This portion
OF the Letter is important, no. by reason
Of its advocacy Of any new principle or
policy, but because the sentiments ex>

Monument will be between the Smithsonian
