sional District my name had been announced in

Although l am satisfied that majority of the

trdtlon anu the Cihcillnati Ihtiorlii 'H the sun
ject of Slavery, and also the inconsistent and
unprincipled course of Mr.. Douglas, backed up
by the U. S. Senate; and to vote Tor the admis
sion of Kansas as Il Slave State, should she pre-
sent a Constitution recognizing it, even though
such result was brought about by fraud and
violence, us it now appears will be the case.
These things could not conscientiously do.
Then let every elector who believes shas this
fine Territory, situated in the geographical cen
tire of country, should be the bone OF res
pectablc white laborers, instead ct being mo-
nopolized by slave owners, with all the attend
ing evils, cast his vote in manner to bring
about such result. Slavery or Freedom must
have it. 1t is falacy to talk about joint &C.
cupancy by white and slave laborers, unless we
are willing to degrade white laborers to a level,
