how the agitation is to be put down. Who are to be

Mr. Clay has laid down. Why, Mr.. Editor, can it be
possible that be told in America that we must
speak against inquity, and in favor of REFORM and

was Slavery that defeated Mr. Clay from being Pres

Is there lethargic sumber over the free States?-
If So let them arouse from their slumber and awake
their true position. Let the whitening, searching in
dignation of a would-be free people, make men who
are false to freedom and liberty, feel they fell
