to pIecipitase an ayslaocne If sbcltionists upon

could not settle taefs permanently in order to con-
troll the elections. This val the reason, and the
only ore. The Missoalians had a egal right to

the fault and the biunder Of the abSitionists in

again 81 him the Indignation OF the whole commu-

refused to have anything to do with the election.
