difficulty; such difficulty has always existed in
this country, from the foundation OF the govern

OF new questions as they arose. We have hitherto
found our integrity nation maintained, and
our prosperity and happiness promoted, by such
concessions, and have thus been rewarded for any
real or supposed sacrifices. We therefore dis

admission Of California, for the abolition of the
slave trade In the District of Columbia, for the set
Element of the boundaries of Texas and the organi-
cation of the territories Of Utah and New Mexico,
with provision preventing the establishment Of
slavery until the people themselves shall determine
the question in their State constitutions.

interest for which the Wings have ever contended;
and that we are called upon, by every considera-
ton Of duty to the country and of fidelity to the
party, to yield them our efficient support in all
practical NODES and partc ulary in the election of
members of Congress.
