as established by the authority or this Govern
ment, is, Take my money and give me your
land, or III take both your land and your ITO I,
| The world has had no experience OF this method
until our time; and ii il impossible to calcu
\ ate where il will end One thing, however, il
pretty certain: if the Nebraska villany quo
ceeds, it will be settled, at least for fifty years
that the slave power is not to be arrested, OF
nc least essentially checked, in its career, by
any force, numerical or moral, within those
States calling themselves free. IL was pre-
dicted, twenty years ago, that If it got Texas,
it would not stop till it reached Brazil and i
in now doubtful il it would stop there.
With such factoring prospects OF new mar
kets in addition to tho vast and permanent
ona We have already, slave-breeders, or those
inclined d, become So might feel encouraged to
establish stock farms in any State, If tho laws
allowed it, but especially on the fresh prairics
and in tho genial CLINE Of Nebraska where
land may bs had for song, or less, and corn,
about the only Indispensable article for rear
ing slaves, be produced in such quantities az
tho world has not yet seen.
Again: Has not slavery existed in every
State Of the Union, however hard, rough, and
frigid--and did it not cost many OF them q

was abolished fret, and by the easiest OF all
processes, judicial decision under tho decla-
ration oil her Bill Of Rights, that all men
are born free and equal it was not altogether
q quiet transaction. There is a tradition that
as aoon as the decision was made, and spread
with the rapidity Of lightning, some Massa-
chusotts shareholders collected their ohattels,
and made for Rhode Island and othcr contigu-
ous States; but the people turned out, pursued
thcm, and rescued their captivcs. But now,
that people are reduced to oatohing freensea,
and putting chainsupon them, instead Of knock
ing them off, is it nothing that tins very priv
lege Of making every free State hunting
ground, and every free Northern man hunts
man for a Southern lord, il to be extended by
this bill to all the embryo States of Nebraska,
and TO oil their future inhabitants
There is no free State that would not deem
it an enormous and intolerable evil, and an OK
ecrable crime, to permit their laws against sla-
very to be repealed, and their fair domains
opened to the influx of slavery and the agta-
ton and strife of new abolition and yet
there is not one OF them that would not be
sure, even il her hands were tied for time, Of
DISCRIMINATING it at much earlier day than
Nebraska, or any now Territory or new State
could. With the lamp Of experience thus illu-
minating our path, can we hesitate for mo-
ment!
Physical geography, forsooth! Slavery pre-
walls all over Russia and Tartary. "Asiatic
scenery indeed A modern writer remarks
that "Asia has always been the hot-bed' Of sla-
very and tho plague This was written twen-
ty years before Webster delivered his strange
dicta.
We have Mr.. Douglass authority for stating
that SLAYER, is already IN Nebraska. Of course
it is there without law and against law; and
yet the impostors have the Catilinarian assur-
ance TO pretend that it will not 60 there with
law! STRIKE, BUT HEAR
