am opposed 10 this bill for these reasons, which are

the more this fountain of bitterness will overflow.
Again the more we multiply Slave States, the more
we hinder the smsncp iton Of slaves in the Old States
That emancipation, although 1t Is 70 DE lhstitoted'
managed and conducted by those Slave States them
selves is a reformation due from them to themselves
and to the whole Union because upon 1t depend the
highest possible development Of national wealth., and
the highest possible increase OF national strength ana
power While do not main.an that Slavery is in.
compatible with the attainment OF certain stage OF
prosperity in States, under some crcumstances
Go insist on the contrary, that all other things being
equal, every State fourthes just proportioa as its
laboring population are Intelligent, inventive, and
free. am opposed to the policy OF the bih, because
the addition Of Slave States tencs TO continue ana in
Cresse the dependence OF our country upon the man

of foreign countries and thus to bwd up those
great interests f-re countries instead OF making

There Is another broad objection to this bill, when
regarded as measure which may result in the estab-
lshmebt of Slavery the Territories. II were asked
what think is the real ground of whatever ant ago.
