shine disagree entirely with the General Assembly OF
the ate of Arkansas respecting the repeal OF the MIS-
sour COMPROMISE of 1870, and believe that the repeai
of said COMPROMISE uncalled for, and most gross
and wanton outrage upon the rights feelings and senti-
mene of the people Of the Free States, and should De
condemned by every citizen OF every state OF TINS
