BE not deceived dear friends In the pendiu

not to be decided whether freedom or slavery sim

Despotism can vote The worst form in which de,

We have more than once called attention.
The fact that the Northerp States owe their pre-
pond,ranop IN the Uninn, and their capn.ityi
Cypress snd iinmple on the South to the horde
foreigners who have taken up their nb 'es i,
hat section. BY MIXTURE aud education ho-i
to slavery and unwilling Ia cume into oompeti
sion with slave. labor nine irnihs of the immi
grants settle in The free States, adding o,hei
approximation in Congress, or in the Terrtorie,
which they contribute towards making FIRE
States. Thus il is that the balance Of power be
tween the sections has been lost and that til
North, presuming upon the brute force Of nun

by caressing and favoring foreigners, have man

slavery, and grown bold in proportion to thei

They should look upon immigration and the ma,
