A large proportion Of the citizens of the
free states, from being so long a time hab-
ituated to the existence OF slavery in the
south, have lost the horror and detestation
of it which they would otherwise have nat
urally felt, and have impgrceptibly imbibcd
some Of the worst prejadiees against the
poor and oppressed sufferers Of our race.
This much of right feeling, h6Keter, seems
4 generally to feniain-6H 64bnearly an, al
low slavery to be-a eeasammate evil, and
this is allowed also in algreat measure in
the South itself TberpI appears, in the
north, to be a general wish expressed that
slavery should cease. But on this subject
there arc two very decidedly different par
ties. One party is fol. carrying out, as it
should do, the second grand fundamental
division or axiom of natural law, as we
have before stated it, and taking steps for
bringing about the extinction Of slavery;
the other party Is for disregarding this
most imperative and'sacred law Of social
duty, and leaving the poor shave in the
hands of his oppressor, until he shall feel
kindly enough disposed todo him Justice,
which is just the same thing as allowing
thief TO go on stealing until he thinks prop
er to become honest, ora brutal man to ex-
trcise violence or murder until he shall take
it into his head to become good citizen.
Having proceeded 80 FAR il need scarcely
be added that the party GFstespoken-of-is
the free soil party, TO- which i claim. 10 pc

prevail, and slavery becomes eventually an
