raj interference with slavery. They are wise.
! temperate and patriotic, such as must command
the respect and appreciation of every Eirgnan
also transmit resolutions passed by the legisla-
lure OF New Hampshire Of an opposite character,
upon the same subject. It is painful 10 see prin
cipies and opinions, dsorsanising and ruinous
in their tendencies those embodied here taking
deep root in the minds and feelings ola people SO
richly deserving Of our admiration in many partic-
uIars as those Of New Hampshire.
This fearful question now agating the country
in its entire length is one fraught With the most
momentons consequences, and is one upon which
the destiny OF the Union itself may hang The
'sfree soll'' party claim for congress the light to
exclude slavery from all the territories of the u
States; and, acting upon this assumption, they de-
clare their purpose Of prohibiting the southern
man from emigrating with his slaves to any cf the
national domain not noS erected into slave STATE
| It's difficult for those beyond the influence of
the tanaticlsm which suggests and sustains these
dangerous AID di!soTganzing doctrines, TO bring
themselves to believe that such gross injustice and
wrong could be seriously thought of by any DELHI
erative body. The tendency of the movement is
directly to disnnion; the oonsummation of it will
be the overthrow Of our free institutions. If any
great question olhunan liberty was involved in
the issue; If any grand or striking system OF poll.
ey, affecting tie glory of the nation; depended upon
its success then there might be some reason found
to excuse the jeopardy into which the country ~
plunged BY it. But we look in vain for any JUST
| ficaton of the sort The movement originated in
wild tanatclsln, and is persisted in from mere
wantonness and lust of power. Not even The fi;m.
sy veil Of transcendental philanthropy for The ne.
gro slave s offered, to conceal the reyoling fea-
lures of the black treason against the constitution
of the nation for there would not be one slave the
less in all America even should conereas amend
