the overwhelming desire 70 find q method by
which the bideOUs ulcer can be struck from our

Supreme Court is to declare that the Federal Gov

terrific evil; and since our Southern breshren-

Slavery in perpesui'y-Slavery forever The curse
is widening and deepening, and instead Of promised
or hoped for modification, or smellorahon or hn-
itatiOn, n the future-bi herto the patriots only
hOpe-we are treated to nothing but Visions OF a
severer, more crushing and stll-e1'ending feld of
oppression. What then stall be donei Stake of
their ground. Give cur lower attitudes TO the
blacks and those who desire 10 go with them.
Lop of the fostering limb. Cut out the cancer.
Give to the democratic principle underlying our
system fair chance TO work. Give it scope un-
hindered untramneled. by doing this, we shall
aur ch the Datien upon new and lofhsr career.
We shall bring our domestic quarrels over the
Slavery question to close. Freed from con-
nection with men Who love Slavery, And believe in

happy dreamers as they deserve. Instead OF re-
sistiDg their folly and wickedness as we are con-
peeled to do now in consequence of our political
