the country the blessings Of slavery, and the

in relation 10 the present condition and future
prospects of the country the present session
some Of them do not return after the present Con
gress and those are particularly dcsirous TO devote
u.s. much time as possible 10 matters Of public inn
portance. at the rate OF eight dollars per diem.
still with an their audable desire Of sacrificing
their ease their comfort and their pecuniary .n-
,erest upon the altar OF public good, there are
some things that the LocoFoc majority no the
senate viii not accomplish this season. They
will ao, pass the OREGON bin into n law with the
auti-Slavcry section stricken ont they viii nat
admit California and New Mexico into the Union
as Territories with Slavery, or the direct or ndl-
rect possession of Slavery, as am accompaniment :,
they VIII net drive or smuggle through congress
the Missouri Compromise act. All these things
may be doue and viii be done, when CAS- is
elected President, but not tlIi that time.
