avepagmg laGFfSs then narrated some of the heart
rending scenes Of human suffering which he himseI
had witnessed, among the slaves of the District
during a residence of fourteen years and said,-"If
you vote Tor man, and party, who sustain these
measures, who oppose all notifications of the rioor
oil these laws, are you not guilty in the sight O
Ood and all good men, if you we've personally en-
gagged IN the traffic? If you do not support them,
however, you must remember you are no Wing, for
Mr. Fillmore and all the leading men of his party
stand pledged to their support. Mr. Webster saws
pledged against their repeal, and the leaders of the
wing party deny the right Of the people to agtate
the question OF their repeal and therefore every man
who sustains them by his vote, sustains and is re-
fponslble for these niquities and crimes Do YOU
thInR this government established for such pur
poses as thesea 1t is beand SANDER upon the ma
triots and sages Of the olden time. Mr.. Webster

In his 9TH Of March speech, MIR. Webster had The
presumptuous hardhood to assert that The law If
Uod had excluded slavery from those territories,
when, at that very moment il was a fact knowps&o

knew that the gift of 10000 sqnare miles Sof free
territory TO Texas was equivalent the annexation
OF four Slave States to the Union at some f1,m
day, and Mr.. Fillmore knew what would be the con-
sequence OF the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law
which Mr.. Webster declared in the Senate he toould
support TO the fullest ertent; and in full possession Of
these lacts the first OF his official power was to
make him the chief man in his councils By calling
him to the office of Secretary of State, he pledged
hls administration to the save potcr, carry out al
its base and Infamous purposes and designs. From
that day to this, the Wimot Proviso has been doc.
lrne discarded BY The Wing yand, up to,he pres.
ent hour, no Wing convention, has ever dared to
rebuke the administration for its recreancy TO the
avowed principles OF the Wing party. Are my
Wing friends here present, prepared to endorse the
administration, which repudales the fundamental
principles upon which the party has so long based

to be membersin regular standing with your party
