1t Is thus that the power of the Mort,
IN these two States IS to-day broken on the vital
question Of Slavery extension. The great North

Pennsylvania and New York are the localities
where the transaction IS TO be corsuulmated
1t is IN view of this but too palpable fact thai
the determined foes of Slavery aggression should
