= did so refuse, and for his reason: we are.
desirous ofe2.endipg the area Of Freedom,
instead oflhe curse OF human bondage.

see aud Alabama, have said that We. at the
North, were generally opposed to the es-
Establishment ofthat Missouri Compromise
Line nj the time the compact was entered
into, IN 1879, '.On what, pretext can sou
base your opposition to its repeal?" In
answer to the gentleman. / say that the
people Of the North wers opposed to tbee$-.
tabliskInent nj that time .and, for this reason.
ILwaS a base SURRENDER Of r. teErisory TO
Slavery that had .beeu by the. God Of Ma
itare anJ FLAWS, consecrsted to Freedom.
