But the South demanded that we should
abandon the Wilmot Proviso, and fifteen
millions of Freelnen, in the spirit of compro-
mise, yielded to their request
They demanded also that we should be-
come slave cutchers and blood hounds, aud
give up the right of free speech, aud these
same freemen turned pale and bent TO their
will.
Members of the Democratic party, In my

back the cause which we ndvocate,-that
Mey were the true friends Of Liberty. What

every citizen to blush for very shame.
II seems to ine TINT our efforts have been

words o! sarcasm to express my ineilable
contempt for man, blessed with a northern
education, who can so far forget all that is
high and holy aud good as to give himself
up to the advocacy OF the darkest curse that

Mr. Dradburn said, that at this age of the
World it was strange that the frecst nation on
earth should be at loggerhcads, as to whether Il

law, worth regarding is to make it impossible,
not only for one who is "not rich nor a bache-
lor," but for any man to occupy an Office in
this country, unless he shall have adopted that
opinion.

Friends differ with me in regard TO the

Democracy propose to take no action un.
