Thoyc of oar readers who have watched
the progress of this bill in It's vasiess pha-
ees through the tremendous struggle that
has been made, ny to this TINA, by the
administration party to carry this, their
pet scheme, thro' Congress are, no doubt,
anxious to know what will be the .fnaie
of this most gigantic system of fraud, and
oppression which has ever scca recorded
in the annals Of Congress, and which this
nation has been called upon to submit to
at the d;ctatlon Of the slave power
To call it fraud is to but family ex-
press the enormity of the most consumase
swindlc and downright robbery, that has
ever illuminated in the history Of The tbs

success, they come ont with aadacicus in
science, highway rcbber ike, and demand
the very life Of the liberty Of this nation

slavery.
No oae measure Of federal legislation
has ever, 70 universally and justly, called
forth such spontsncocs burst of indgna
ton as has arisen from the entire north
since this scheme was FIRST concocted and
exposed to the public eye. The entire
press condemned il in the broadest and
most unmcaSured tertns-public Speakers
denounced it cvcrywhere-and even tho
most sbject AID subservieHt of tbe slave
worshippcrs, did not believe that even
Buchanan, sold and paid, for as he was by |
the South, would have had the hardihood |
in the face md eyes Of northern indigna-

measure upon the country, and thus add
