vOcate Of civil liber5y, but has waged continual
war against proscr iption civil and reH gous, int
the fundamental law of his own state; and thel
allegation that his course in the New hampshire
convention is open to any just exceptionl
on the ground of his manifesting any
religious intOeraT ce is false and utterly Unfoun-
ded: and furtherr lore, We can point to our can

carrying out all its guarantees to every sectiOnE
Of the Union

finality Of the compromse,-that the furtherE !
agitation of the subject OF olavery which has

ner's should be driven from power s
