arc at last, convinced that the leaders of the whg

times, they will feel themselves at home. That
party which holds that government is bound 10 pro-

monopoly rs from slavery, they viii hud to be their
own party.
The liberty party holds rot only that every enact
ment and provision for slavery il null and void but
that the right to the soil is natural and equal rs
the right to the light and the air; and that there is
