Il is the South that brought such men INTO
notice, politically. At the North, the con-

the purpose of extending slavery, brings ih,o

Now, Mr.. President, we of Ohio protest
a aims, this plank in your platform as unjust
and unrightcous. The majority of our dele
gation are from Virginia, the sons other soil;
and Virginia in the purer days of her COM
monwealth, taught Us the lessons of liberty.
You will remember by the crsson your State
made to the General Government of the
Northwest territory, you Virginians express
" stipulated that neither Slavery or invol-
untary scrvitude should ever exist therein,
except for the punishment of crime. W.,
| then, under the ordinance OF 'o7 are the first
born in the cause Of freedom; and in Ohio,
your children have resolved to carry out
your will by seeing 20 it that Slavery never
does exist there; and we. are prepared and
| determined to resist its encroachmcnts upon
soil consecrated to Freedom. Yes, Virgin
inns ! remember this; that with warm hearts
| and strong arms, your sons will stand up
for Liberty AMI the Right; and Ohio. cemen.-

Ford answered: We have been in your
State and all over it. We know the situa-
ton Of your population, both white and
black. We kno that Virginia, in this ago
of advancement, has rctrograded; that the

Much has been said about n. York and
Sewardism; and inasmuch as her del.ga IS
are here will say nothing about that State;
but will Il hope, be permitted to sgeak of our
own STATE. Stwardsm, gentlemen, at this
moment has its heel on ''Sam's" neck in
Ohio; and unless you give US liberty loving
jus.lce-like looking platform, the Ides of
Octobes next, will find Sewardism standing
wi h both feet on the political grave Of ev-

Already the voices of Frecmen arc heard,
marshalling their forces for the contest; the
frs of Liberty are now burning on cvery
hill top and in every valley throughout the
length AMI breadth of the land, and may
they continue to burn UNTIL LIBERTY SHALL
BE THE B'RTHRlGHr OF EVERY AMERICAN; IN
TIL We HAVE GOVERNMENT WITH OUT pEs-
PoTIsM; A RELIGION WITHOUT PoPE, AND AN
EMPIRE WITHOUT SLAVE!
