tAgainst dis plank in your platform as un'
l5ust and vnfighteons. The most OF our
delegation are from Virginia, the sons Of
her soil; and Virginia. in the purer days OF

liberty. Tou will remember by the cessior
Eyour Stafe made to the General Govern

ginians expressly stipulated that nelther
Slavery nor iavoluntary seryisude should
J ever exist therein, except for the praish'
ment Of crime, We, then, under the or

cause of freedom. And iu' Ohio, your
children have resolved to carry cut your
will by seeing to it that slavery never does
exist there: and we are prepared and deter
