"THE ENCRoACHMEYTs OF SLAVERY"

We cannot conceive Of humbug unmixed says the
Detroit Free Press than the protested soctude Of abo-
tionism nj the "encroachments OF the slave power
There Is no intelligent man who does not know that when
the Union formed IL consisted Of twelve slave States
and free State, That the original Union The
"slaye power omnpotent II made just such con.
stution Il desired and the only provisions contained
in the constitution thus made regarding slavery are:
The clause requiring that ugives shall be delivered MP
and The clause providing that in all enumsraons Of
inhabitants for the purpose OF basis OF In
the House OF Representatives the slave population shall

free and fifteen slave or the sixteen free States
six are composed Of territory which belonged origin

government annerng condition that slavery should not
exist In H. and Is part Of the Louisiana purchase
over the whole Of which slavery existed by law Thus
seven free States have been erected OF slave terri

States have abolished slavery OF their volitiou and
two three other subsequent slave States would have
