What the people of the South done what has the
democracy of the South donep what has the democracy
prive them of this right Of sedefsnce They have done
nething to excite to open eopen this agitation
But they have stood firmly by the post of duty honor and
the constitution. There they will stand whilst life
has one throb the constitution friend upon the
earth We wish had voice that could reach the
OF every in this broad land We would proclaim the
fact which deny that in all this slavery agitation
we have invaded man's rights have trespassed
no mans privileges. In holding on to property and
trying ourselves our children we have
simply stood by and the constitution Of country
and the rights secured to under it. We stand by it and

sacred provisions.
But the repeal of the Missouri Compromise or restrc-
ton: That measure says Governor N. S. Brown 1.-THE
leading elecor of my State and the sentiment is
now everywhere expressed that resored
as necessity to the Union Aye but who created,
who forced the Union that necessity Those very
uonsts and freesoles or their predecessors in fanat
cisn who decry the repeal They voted against Ii
the time They voted against the very year when
Missouri admitted and have been camerng against it
since until at last when il asceained that they
would respect abide by il compromise il
repealed and then for the first time they began approve
and applaud it, at performed the eector the
Office of saving the Union until 1854 The country North
and South had reposed upon for "a years What

floor of Congress- shall them both" From that day
to this be- every question that has been presented
in regard to the acquisition of territory, antsavery
have epudised the binding efficacy of the Compromise
1920 AS 10 the extension Of territory They have felt them
selves at liberty TO avow and they haze openly duored

and South impored them abide by the principles of the
Missouri Compromise and let the line Of thirty SIX
thirty be extended through Texas for the sake Of that
and repose now much spoken Of But they impored in

the stubborn reply Of every nsavery in that Con-
