evera about "a compromise compact between
the North and Sauth.' They denounced
WAsHISGToN's Fugitive Slave Law with as
much vehemence as they do Fillmore's law
They demand the unconditional repeal of this
law, and will not consent to the enactment
of another in its stead either by the State ol
National government. To pretend that they
are in favor of maintaining "a compromise
compact between the North and South, }" i;
sheer dishonesty.
