Thus far, the popular sentiment has only taken
the fern Of desiring to ciEcumscribe Slavery. Di-
reetly if fooled in this, it will assume that of desr-
ing TO separate from Slavery. It will rush to this
position all the sooner for decision of the Supreme
Court, that the General Government has no power

10 formidable and 80 dsmniDg. There has been,
ana is now, strong prejudice against separation OF

Of Slavery, proves nothing but that they are I'M
Democratic, no matter whether int hgenty or

carries in its race, not the springs of Its motion.
