| fact part and parcel Of each other. The Con-
stitution does not sanction Slavery; 1t only PER-
mitted it where it existed previous TO It's adoP-
ton ia the old thirteen colonies. Every pr'n-
chile that lies at the foundation Of the Constr
tuition is opposed to Slavery. For more than
thirty years, this reading of that instrument
was adhered to- Then came, and simuitane-
ously too, Slavery -compromise, and dough
faceism
aThis was the first compromise; Southern

misses Slavery, as Unsuitable AZ the grave, de-
msnded more territory, and we had compro-
mise No. 2. The annexation of Texas, by
which territory for five more slave States was
secured, instead of one slave State, the remain
der territory, all to be done without war, a.
was proposed by the patriot statesman, Benton.
The attempted compromise No. 3, Of iS4S
was defeated--a significant fact for the future.
Compromise No. 4 was the President making,

contend, Of this infamous Nebraska bill, Had
the former never been done, you would have
never heard Of the latter Neither party can
crimnate the other as to the paternity OF these
cheateriea
Negotiations, or something worse, are con.
stantly going on, for more slave territory. The
Gadsden treaty takes another slice from Mex
leo. We are, ever and anon, negotiating, bull
lying or flibustsring with Spain for Cuba
The idea that the South will cut loose, as long
az the North is supplying her with fresh terri
tory, and mounts guard upon her slaves, is
eimply preposterous and absurd. But if this
villany succeed it will be the turn Of some
body else to talk about disuni0n. There is but
one way to treat this slave propagandism. The
South are all united on Slavery. We must
profit by their example. In this matter she
boasts that she has no traitors We can
send her some When we treat our traitors as
she does hers, We shall have none either. The
North has forborne too long. The object Of
the South is future empire. The object of the
movers is mischief and the Presidency, and
what care they what fires are kindled, what
dscords sOWn, or what mischief done, any
more than Louis Napoleon did, when in hi
mad ambition-h he marched over the mangled
oorpses Of his conntrymen to empire!

the tempter once held it up to Daniel Webster

no objection to Northern Presidents, of hen
own selection, but whom she has first debauch
ed She knows her men better than We do
The Nebraska swindle cannot be consnmma

are thirty-two OF these, seven are assigned to
New York, and eleven to Pennsylvania. That
New York should have seven d0ughfaces in
Congress, is dsgraceful You have now awoke
to battle for the last spot of free territory YOU
will ever have, and find Slavery embroiling yor
in foreign war for Cuba. am glad you are
awake thank God that the moral element
of the country is aroused. The whole North
must be reused to one concentrated action, un
less the South abandon her course. Write OF
your ballots No more slave Territory; n.
more slave States.'n
