THE wAGs OF THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENcER


The venerable editors Of the National telgener give
credit for making great discovery when we attribute
the present dangers growing of the slavery agitation
TO the false step made in 1920 In the admission Of Mis-
souri, into the Union upon unconstitutional condition
We regret that neghbos have not made this discovery
sooner themselves would have savcd them from the
completely with black republicansm in which their blind
advocacy of the Missouri Compromise has involved them
As the scales have last fallen from their eyes, we trust
that the character fairness and caudor and conservatism
which they have sought establish, will longer be ap-
proprated the promotion or the sectional schemes OF
black republicans Perhaps onght not to be surprised
that our neghbors have overlooked long the truth which
strikes them as SO wonderful dscoveryt was certainly
obvious enough be overlooked but also was the
talent waggey which discovered that
they possessed until Their bumor decidedly good
and none that Is about old the antique
