we make bold TO saw. Furthermore. that our
sympatby and our service are not confined
within the line that separates our State from
adjacent States; but that all efforts to confer
like benefits upon other commonwealth to
elevate and encourage and protect the labor of
the free working citizens against the depres-

Jealous CO. operation. In Kentucky, in Ten.
nessee in Virginia, in MARYLAND, the same
movement in behalf of free soil for the free
labor of free yeomanry Is transporting, and
we hail it with emphatic congralulation. We
know thatit will be said in yindication of the
positions assumed by Senators, that Congress
and the federal government have no right to
interfere in such work. and that the ReDubli-
can party has no mission to constrain the ex.
mansion of free principles in slave States
This IN part is true. but il does NOT fully meet
