But the most alarming feature Of this ctaim
IL that the Law Of force Get up in some OF the
States Of the Union, over which subject the
Congress of the United States has NO control,
thus becomes the Law Of the land. Yes, the
psople within hut one State Of the union Get up
and MAINTAIN the Law Of the stronger, and under
it claim the right to hold in subiugation the
weaker race, or the minority, it is claimed here
| that that law Of power, without foundation
either in the principles or the language OF the
Constitution, instantly becomes the Law Of the
whole country, or at least the law of the whole
country outside Of the organized States. 1t
every State of the Union on that principle were
to abolish slavery, With the exception OF the
