Now then so far. if there was any aggression, It
surely from the North since ID order 10 elect
the I'd mission OF the State of Missouri which was IN
feet foru,ed from slave terri;ory, with constitution
recognizing slavery, the South was forced 10 submit

ceprIvinz Southern people OF their share 81 tic
bargain and insisting &c Ut no part OF the territory OF
the United States either South OF North should be
occupied by slave owners.
TO nil ths. conversaut with The political history OF
che country il is we'll known that The adoption OF the
Missouri compromise line did not satisfy Or appease
tn. sutslavery sentiments of that portion of the
Northern people, VIII" now ioudest in crying out

Law winch shall declare positively that II shall exist
NOWHERE. This is what the black republicans are
now claiming, and for this they have the audacity to

the Northern States.

Rocusant Democrats and Know Nothngs, wings
sud \ 5olitouis,s Americans and Temperance men,
are all Republicans in far rs they agree in the nu
tualiy couc-ded Object Of restoring the Missouri Com
proH.ise. sus:aia;ng freedom in Kansas, preventing
any farther extension Of slavery, aud reforming the
abuses aud corruption of our Executive.
Thus II will be seen that the restoration Of the Mia
korri Compromise. ever if could be effected would
satisfy them. They ask for more they ask, If til.
&c. u which they refer is that lis spirit
and intention should be violated.
