of their inherent rights, was worse than useless.
He said speaking of political action, what the fore

speaking his mind for twenty years-in the Union

Slavery The General had the same ollies left, but
thanked God be had got over that one of loving the
Union.
He quoted from Republican speakers before the
last election to prove that the defeat of Fremont
was the last trial of Freedom against Slavery under
