of ll3 to 100. Every effort had been made
to stave it off by parliamentary tactics, but
under pressure of the precious question, the
final vote was forced on the house, and the
bill put through. The Clayton amendment,
prohibiting foreigners from voting, was strick-
en- out, SO that the bill goes back to the SEN
ate, but that matter will soon be settled. 1t
is safe to consider it the law of the land.
We do not think there will be any great
amount of public demonstration at this re-
suit, but every northern man, with Just
sense of national honor at heart, with re-
gard for the inviolability of solemn compacts
and national good faith, will keenly feel the
deep disgrace which this act has brought on
us all by the traitorous conduct of those who
happen at this moment to be entrusted with
the government at Washington And the
people OF the free states, in overwhelming
majorities, will set their faces like flint in
cool, unabated, unchanging resolution to put
down, now and forever, both the demands
of slavery upon us, the northern pimps of
slavery, and the further extension of slavery.
AS slavery and freedom are antagonistic and
naturally at war, and as Shareholders and the
plant tools of slave holders have thrown
down the barrier which was erected at their
own desire between freedom and slavery, it
remains only to test the strength of sections
and see whether the lordly aristocracy of the
slave states OR the hardy working men of the
free democratic north shall prevail. Such a
contest cannot be doubtful. Fifteen millions
OF northern freemen cannot long submit to
be governed by 100000 slave holders.
