Rapidly is the time approaching when par

abide the issue. 1t is no longer possible
to avoid that which, with mad infatuation,
the Slave Democracy has forced upon US.
We cannot escape it if we would, we would
not if we could. So long as this arrogant,
dictatorial. pro-Slavery spirit prevails, il
must be met and be crushed. We have
taken our stand. The Republican hosts of
free, prosperous and powerful Ohio throw
back the taunt of slave ridden, slave crush
ed Georgia. We WILL NOT sanction the
Outrages of the hordes of Missouri by
agreeing TO admit Kansas as a Slave State
We will still insist that Congress has the
right under the Constitution, and that it is
our imperative duty, to keep Slavery out
of the territories of the Union where it does
not now exist.
