from the North her property of any kind No.
Did she. with a blind and reckless tanaticisin,
ever threaten to destroy the peace, the happ'.

this slavery question, till the North refused her

he held; and so careful was he of violating the
laws of neutrality, that he did not even inquire
into the means and plans of the expedtionaires
He fclt n warm interest and sympathy in the

GU self, and he gave letters of introduction in
lroduction addressed to the leaders of it, to
several gentlemen who had served with him in
Mexico, who were determined to join it, and
whom he felt solcitous should receive such sta
