Sir, doctrines which led to such atrotilics as
these are now sought to be established among us!

declared outlaws by the fugitive slave law. NFo
all know thai this infamous law strips many of
the citizens OF the free states 81 every political

Thank God our courts have not quite come yet
To the support of such an infamous doctrine as
that Of constructive treason :" Had the Gov
eminent succeeded in this conspiracy against the
Liberties of the people, and undertaken 70 enforce
the penalty for treason, Mr. Fillmore and al his
Coadjutors would not only have discovered tho
striking parallel in their conduct 10 that Of James
H., but would have experienced a like disastrous
fate. They would have been permitted to remain
in this country only as inmates OF pcpltentiary

The Wing party was told By It's leaders, at
the Baltimore Convention that, if they woud
do what had never before been required of them,
viz: indorsc the Kidnapping law, and pledge
themselves to d,scOntcnancc freedom of speech,
they should not '.aurcly die, but live forever;
