The motto of Free Sellers is, "No MORE
SLAVE STATES" This is our unyielding, de-
termined position We wage an extermlnating
warfare against every man and every party who
would extend the curse of human servitude, or
increase the slave power in any degree. The
Democratic party and the Wing party unite in
the extension of slavery and of the slave power,
and then ask the friends Of liberty to vote with
them | shalt not do 1t.
Another measure of the last Congress was
law entitled An act to abolish the SLAVE trade IN
the District Of Columbia" A fragrant talsehood
was sent to the people in this title ; for the law
itself does not profess to abolish the slave trade IN
this District, and only excludes from this market
the slave breeders of Maryland and Virginia,
leaving the sale Of men, women, and children,
to continue here. And this commerce IN the I'M
age of God is to go on and continue forever.
The Wings say it shall not be disturbed, anu
the Democrats say they too will protect it. These
parties have taken position between us and the
sIave-dealers, and say we shall net discuss the
morality of their vocation; indeed, they assert
that we shall not agitate the cause of freedom.
You, sir, lately saw an advertisement in the
leading Wing paper in this District, in these
words D." For sale, handsome and accomplished
lGdv's maid, aged Just sixteen gears" Except in
this city and New Zealand, do not think any
Government within the bounds Of civilization
would have permitted such an outrage upon de-
cency. speax of New Zealand without inten-
ding any disrespect to the people of that island
by comparing their habits with ours. They buy
mon ard ,go,,a. FJr nDSiJl vuiy. T'tr0 object is
far more honorable and Christian like than that
for which the Young women Of this city are ad-
vertised and sold.
Mr. Chairman, General Scott and General
Pierce are both pledged to maintain this tratc In
the bodies of women, and the advocates OF lib
erty are asked to aid in eecting them. Sir, let
those parties reyel in such moral and political
wickedness let them pledge themselves ana
their Candidates to perpetrate crimes revolving to
humanity hut beseech them not to insult hon
est men, philanthropists, and Christians, by ASK
ing them to participate in such transcendent in
iquity.
Another Of the Compromise measures is the
Fugitive Slave Law. Of the character of this
law have spoken on former occasions VI Its

gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Rantoul

Administration 10 carry it out have no time to
speak. noticed in the address of clergyman,
lately delivered before the Home Missionary
Society, statement that the reverend speaker
was in the central parts Of Russia during last
summer that an intelligent nobIenan tainted
him with the character of this Fugitive Law,
saying: You can find nothing in The legal code
of Russia, or in The DEGREES Of her En,p9Ors,
equal to that barbarous tar" No, sir; do not
believe that any despot of Russia, or of Austria,
was ever guilty Of putting forth so barberous a
law yet the Democratic party and the Wing
party tell US that this law shall remain final
settlement of this subject. The Wing party, it
is true, reserve to themselves the right Of making
it more barbarous. But it is to remain law
and continue IN force while time shall last. Yes,
when the " archangel shall decend from heaven
with a rainbow upon his head, and placing one
foot upon the earth and the other upon the sea,

But both Parties and their candidates are
pledged to maintain this Infamous law And
they will reSist " and discountenance a Il

death to the measure, and political obliteration

minority of this body actually passed it under
the previous question; and row Wings and
Democrats say it shall never be discussed. That
when our people Of the North see fellow BEING

or elsewhere. That they shall look upon the
murdered corpse of fugitive shot down by the
agents OF Government, and may moan over their

not agtate the repeal Of this law. Well, sir, |
assure them the people will discuss these things;
