togetner. we do mol wari 10 do any,
thing indirectly We want 10 do this.
and we mean so do IL; and believe we
shall do II; we mean 10 prohibit slavery
forever in the Territories of the Unsed
States; we mean 20 relieve ,hs Federal
Government from any connection with

against it. The moral sense 6f the
world is against il. But we leave tc
the statesmen of the South. The seuc.
men, Of the question within their own
limits; and, in my judgement. when The
passions and prejudces of this conlltcs
shall have passed away, the people them
selves will work on, the ultimate eman.
cipaIion Of the bondman. That is my
hope; that is tho hore of those with
whom I ACT.
When we adopted The Constitution
Of the United States. We were not re

this time. and show you &C, after act OF
almost every Administration, in which
you have connected us with. aud made
US responsible for slavery. This legisia
Iation has been in violation of the policy
adopted by the trainers OF the Constl-
tuition, and the men who inaueurate1
this Government. Go back and undo
this; disconnect US from slavery; put no
responsibility on us; and then oar con-
sciences ana our Judgements will be
clear. If slavery is wrong, as relieve
