| ton to slavery. He then proceeded briefly TO
| review the course of Abolitionism and remarked
that now the Free Soil party claim that they do
not propose to interfere with slavery il exists,
| but only to prevent its extension to new terrific
| res.
| In case the Free-Soil party should be success
| full i'm fixing a limit to slave territory, he was
! confident that the Abolitionism from which it's
| doctrines emalated, would induce il to disturb
| next the relations between master and slave 4
