to'observe faithfully the provisions Of the Con-
stitntion, and that the compromise measures
must be sustained. Mr., ]. added the people oil
Iowa had constantly manifested their devotion

naticism had never been successful in Iowa -
There are but few abolitonists and free solers

which we believe he iruthiully represents
as being endorsed by the body Of the PEG
