only means of giving 10 Kansas the freedom all desire
for her.
Easy it were in my judgment to demonstrate or afford
the highest degree probability that their triumph would
defeat postpone impair and proiane the consumma-
ton which they seek but am confined 10 the question of
the necessity of their measures for the attainment of
ends.
So much for this function Of the pary-the admis

needed than sixteen black regiments from the Leeward

To seek through all this Babel of contradictory and r

vain and idle To maintain the necessity of organ
