is the enemy of all the Anii-slavery parties
and they tremble before the tread OF its mar

any apprehension Of danger from the terrific
Democracy.
Sir, the question Of slavery is above all
others the most dangerous TO The pence OF
the country. Our greatest statesman, who

Clay and Cass, and all the political men oil
