was obtained for the custody Of the negro, from
Judge Melcalf Of The supreme court, and under

state Of freedom there, and tho prescription
which every man must expect to meet in the
land Of Washington and Jefferson, who dare
stand up and proclaim the sentiments which
they expressed, and which they entertained
whie- living. In this view OF things should
not the caaso of freedom receive their cordial
supper, and recognition lie spoke to labor
ing men, and desired to bring right home to
them ile condition to which they woqld be sub
jccled if slavery shocld triumph in the coming
election. The object of his neighbors in Viz
rinia was, as Mr. Wise said the other day in
Buchanan ratification meeting, to extend slave
~ over the broad praries Of the West, which
had been dedicated to them and to their children
forever TO be the abodes Of happy freemcn, -
They, at the South, said their object was to
extend slavery there, that the black and white
man may labor there, side by side, while at
the North it is claimed that the territory Of the
West was solemnly dedicated to freedom. That
was the difference between the Republican and
the selfstyed democratic party Of this country.
