the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed against each other are obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec
tonal Interest oil Slavery, 10 impair the love OF
Liberty natural to the American mind, and to
subjugate the American People 10 its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, II Will yet
sympaihize with those Of their adherents who
IRE honestly seeking through them 10 advance
The substantial interests OF the country although
