the North is too strong and deep. Had the South hcen
content with the compromise measures ol lSb'i bitter

would have prevailed over the land, except an "cca-

the great compact which was mnlc IN lS2o WIZ
brokcn mp, and the bounds placed upon slavery
broken through, it was adding insult npon outrage I"
ask them to acknowledge that it wrs ''hnal and

The restoration of the Missouri compromise ia de-
mand.d by the North and they will rest satisfied
