of hostility to the encroachments of the Slave
power over the Free North. occasiOned by the
| detection of some, to whom we looked as lead
ers in this great Reform, and from whom We

vention is, that we should leave the old Wing
and Democratic parties, rs Lot LETT SOdOm.

of saving the country from impending ruin is
dcvolved upon some other fundamentally than
those old parties

| invoke the presence of all true men at the
