Union theacned yes, threatened and for what Heaven
forbid the wicked purposes designed They ARE no less
than BY unlawful means slaves into free ne
groes 20 desoae the whole Southern portion of the Union
or sink 1t INFO the OF gamation and perpetual nfe
riorty 10 our Yankee neghbors-o convert three millions
OF Slaves INTO free negroes and almost extngush cvza-
ton sco make these slaves the EQUALS OF ourselves our
wives and daughters Good Heaven and ia
