coast are hemmed in to their own narrow limits
oy hoslle forts along the mountain ridges; that
between the North and the South there were nei.
ther commercial nor moral sympathy; that at
every state line passports were dema nded and
tariff set--who must not shrink from describing
The terrible consequences; the stagnution of trade
the silence Of broheriy counsel; the constant feuds
the multiplication of armies; the Cain.like, exter
minatlng wars; the overthrow of law by military
dlcaors; the utter ruin of all that makes us pros.
porous at home and respected abroad the sure
catastrophe, moral and national death! Oh that
those who for any reason talk lightly of dissoving
the Union, would consider the immense greater
evils such rupture would inevitably cause, the
awful guilt it would bring upon themselves
w hatever may be cant of words, 10 lover of law
could ever kindle the torch of such incend 10 rism
no lover of peace such fratr icdal slaughter, no
lover OF freedom plot for such general slavery no
lover OF God undermine the eminent watch tower
whose light is now shedding over the world such
bright promise of a universal brotherhood. Were
II possible that an American womb could be so
cursed as to bring forth so dabolica monster,
and the malignant Frost ratus could be successful,

and benevolent, and beloved by all who knew him.
Ills political life was short but successful. We
believe he first entered the arena in forty seven,
when he was elected Senator for Pulaski and Prai-
rie counties. In forty-eight he was the whg can
didate for Governor, and received larger vote
than his most sanguine friends anticipated. And
under the present administration, he received the

civil, social, political, and religious privilege that
tends to develope and ennoble man. He is exclud-
ed from all offices and honors, and is only permit
ted to accumulate gold that he may be robbed of
it by the minions of Spain.
He is made tender of slaves, whose sweat and
blood fill the Golfers of Spain, and who are array
ed as a(baance power against him. Upon suspi-
cion, he may be dragged from his hearth and altar
at midnight, without form of law save tho bayo.
nets that serve despot's will, and be thrust into
dungeon. from whence few emerge. His for.
tune and life are the sport Of a tyrant. He lives
but to be taxed and scoffed. He is an outlaw on
his own so-he has no country, no home, no de-
fence, which tyrant may not strip from him at
pleasure. He is spied, hunted, and tortured For
all these things--these abuses and suflerings-
