The Prospect.

a.
Y hals IA progress through Congress pass,
4 and the southern States submit. the non
lave holding States can ia six Years amend
,be Constitution. do away with the three
dlths basis of representation, and abolish
4 sl,,ery and that, too, without assuming
4 any new position or principle, or any which
has not received the sanction Of one branch
Of Congress We stated that we could
4 proyc this position by plan mathematical
n reasoni,g aud Il fair deduction from the
4 nrpeiplcs assumed by our enemies.
We are aware that many will be startled
nj thi, statement, and the public mind is
moi fully awake to the real dangers which
threaten lis.
When propositions for compromise -
4 and adjustment, were made in the | III
ted State, Senate aud advocated by South
ern men. the con6diug spirit of the South.
cr people induced many to believe that
those propositions contained something tan
rible ..ad substantial. aud that "a way would
be opened by which the slavcholding States
! would be- enabled to participate IN some
degree. at least. in the advantages to he de
,,,ed from the vast territories conquered
from Nexico
These delu,ions are dispcled, and the
,,crn truth Is forced upon ALL that the whole
of the territories Of the United States are
devoted to Free soilism.

IONS of Mr. Clay, Mr, Webster, Mr Badger,
Vi. Atclson. and Others ON this SUBJECT,
