He showed that before the several States were
willing to adopt the present Constitution. it was
expressly stimulated in the ordnance of ,a7 that
slavery should be forever excluded from the ter

Gov. Grimes then took up the candidates and
platforms of the two parties Mr. Fillmore lie

cry extension, the admission of Kansas as
Slave State, and the acquisition of Cuba. He

in scathing terms the highwayman's plea which

rest with his fathers, he did not wish the stain
ofhaying extended slavery or of having fasten-s
ed the shackles upon single human being, to
rest upon his name. 1
