the abotionists defeated at the polls Here the
highest evidence which any Northern could have given
of his regard for the rights of the South but since he has
been President Gen. Pierce has not only firmly maintained
the principles of nonntervenon by Congress in questions
of slavery incorporated by the compromise of 1882 in
Utah and New Mexico bills and since extended to Kan
and Nebraska but he has enforced the uvesave law
in the streets of Boston, with purpose and
which knew nothing but duty and justice his Southern
brethren And now, if may be pardoned for comparing
Mr. Rayner with President Pierce let who and what
lie is this question: The compromise of 1852 provid
