I ,t5ority of Congress- by individual enterprise
would be unwilling to do anything to increase the
prevailing excitement
Here YOU have the deliberately expressed opinion of
the author of the Compromise measures and the lead
inc spirit of the Union party
How stands Mr. Cass! He sprays for its abolition
every where will the editor insert the true language
of Mr.. Cass in this place, cannot find the document
which contains it'll
Mr. Webster is known to be opposed to African sla-
very in all its forms, and in every locality Here what
he recently said in speech at Buffalo, New York:
Il contend and have always contended, that after
the adoption of the constitution, any measure of the
government caculaedto bring slave territory into the
United States, was beyond the power of the consttu-
ton, and against its provision. That is my opnlon
and it has always been my opinion"
Again he says: Il never would consent that there
should be one foot of slave territory beyond what the
old thirteen States had at the time Of the formation OF
the Union. Never, never"
Again he says:
"Wen all that l will now say Is, that, with the
blessing of God, will not now or hereafter before
the country the world consent 10 De numbered a.
mong those who introduced nslo stare polcer into the
Union'
Again he says;
.Now, gentlemen, permit me to say that speak of
no concessions If the south wish any concession from
me, they won't get it-not hairs breadth of it. If

children my hopes, my everything, is with the north
AndD S. Dickinson, is in the same category with

Il believe that petitions to Congress on the subject
of slavery and the slave-rade ought to be received
read, and respectfully considered | am opposed to
the annexation of Texas to this Union under any cir
Cumstances, SO tong StaUeS are held therein. | am
in favor of Congress exercising all the constitutional
power it possesses to abolish the internal SaUs trade be-
traea the States. sn in taUor Of immediate legisla-
tt0n for the abolition Of SLaUey IN the District Of Co

"He is unquestionably wing, thorough going one
