No fact can be better established by his
tory. than that the founders Of our govern
ment regarded Slavery as great political
and moral evil. But they found it in ex-
istence; and although they tolerated it, they
never intended nor desired that it should
ever eyer BE extended beyond the bounds in
which It then Existed Indeed, many wise
aud patriotic statesmen of the South, a
mong them Washington and Jefferson, seri-
ously considered whether some plan might
not be adopted by which Slavery might be
gradually abolished. Unfortunately they
meyer mstured their plans, or ell the sub
seduent troubles on this subject might
have been aToided.
=, The founders Of our government, then
desired TO abolish Slavery; the Republican
party OF Ohio merely desire to prevent Its
further extension. Is there any harm in
this {? Are we for this reason To lie charg-
81 With being enemies to the Union? TO
make such charges, shows shameful dis
regard of the truth on the part of those
men who now control the affairs Of our
State. 1t IS Because we are attached to
the Union. that we do not wish to see the
National Government made a,mere instru-
ment for the propagation of Slavery We
do not wishto see the prosperity Of our
new territories blasted by the curse, of Sla-
yery;--wc wish them tG be tne homes of
tteemcn. We bsiicvc that Slavery, being
great political and moral evil, should be
restrained within its present limits, itstead
Of being extended and protected by thc, tes- ',
terine hand Of the General Government
We are willing to give to Slavery where 1t
now exists, all the protection guaranteed to
i by the Constitution. we say, Jet the
fugitive Slave Law be fully and efficiently
enforced, because that law is Constitution
al, being founded upon a plain provision
of that instrument, which 6rst united, and
now tti5S binds together, the North and South
IN gloriouo and inseparable UNION. We
say, moreover, give the South every right
TO which she may be entitled under the
Constitution and laws of the United States.
beyond this we are unwilling togo, Be-
yo6d this. the great Republican, party OF
the North are determined never to go
This is then the great practical issue to be
determined by the people of Ohio at the
ensuing election. MEDILLis is the represeu-
tative of those who are in favor of making
