II has been ordained 70 "PREEDoM FOREVER That
pledge shall be asserted. That ordination sAan be
enforced.
Let il lot bo said we aim at agitation, excitement,
or the formation Of northern party for any object but
one Of the most considerable and proper character
We mean neither emancipation, nor abolition nor any
encroactment upon the slsvehol1ng members OF this
cOnfedtracy. We aim only at the combination OF
sound earnest northern sentiment, which shall syste-
msticaily pursue to their recovery, the rights now
threatened 10 be wrested by the lawless hand OF the
slave power If northern Territory ordained to free
dom forever by the voice of North and South is to be
invaded and torn from US in defiance OF solemn com
Pact and plighed faith nothing be more reason
able than that we should insist upon its restoration
And the question can never be bnked and never
settled till that result s obtained While the Territory
remains the effort will be made until that restoration
surrender. We never shall and we never shall
acquiesce therein, Living and dying we shall speak
and work for the recovery of that great donsin
Against Slavery in the Territory north Of 60 30, we
wage eternal and active war. We shall oppose it
in the Territories, and shall oppose il, unless sue
cess shall earlier crown efforts, in the States TO
be made thereirom.
But thNorth have only to send down the right kind
of men inio the House OF Representatives. to settle
this question, frhe confpirators shan now sue
coed If they will but elect 6rm and determined
men. they will accomplish this result at their fr't
session If restoration House does its duty, the
Senate will not be in the way nor the President be in
the way. This Government was made to go on three
legs. 1t cannot 90 two least OF all cal IL 60 on
one A determined House, hot from the people and
backed By them can enforce the claims OF the people.
If it can have President to act with it very well
But it can DO without that. The Commons eau stand
alone. And, in firmly demanding justice and their
rights, they must always he irresistible.
Let no craven spprebensions exist then-let no dis
trust be felt Of the people when plain, tangible proper
OF ject is SET before them 10 is impossible to make
ncrtlern men fglt for an abstraction The compare
tive weakness OF the Free Soil party has arisen from
the feet that its forces have been called upon again and
again TO march to tie polls to assert sentiment Now
there is too much practical sense IN the northern people
for that But give them great Object to work for, aud
let them be fully persuaded that right is on their side,
and the might will show itself The vast territory
west Of the Mississippi and north of 36' 81 is the
great interest now at stake. Ibeongs TO freedom and
the free States If they TO be plUndered of it by
the South aided by northern traitors, then its re-
coyery viii be the great object of northern effort
Talk of acQuiescence Will that make the robbery
any the less an outrage VIII continued contem-
platon of the fraud reconcile the North to the patient
surrender Of that rich heritage No Ten thousand
times No The very act will but stimulate and fire
tie measures of reclamation The cry will be, at
ihsl be restored" The appeal for quiet and acqui-
escence-all suggestions OF harmony and submission,
will but add fuel to the flame for it will be adding
insult 10 injury The reply will be- We care not for
peace for tranquility, for harmony. so long we are
"diyested Of our just rights Give our rights, of
which we have been defrauded." Every considera-
ton will fade into nsgnifcance before this great de-
msId. SO long as the territory north OF Sc 80, by
solemn compact consecrated to freedom forever, shall
he blsckeDed and polluted with the of Slavery,
so long shall undyng war be waged for its expulsion
Never until all of justice and indignation at
fraud and love of liberty shall be extnguished at the
North shall slave State be admitted from that vast
domain. JsP.
