Northern Democratic Sentiment.

~, it is the ''ssveholders," she J f5rsons and
Jacksons of the South, that have always defended
the interests OF the producing Glasses of the North
In the next place, the people of the South do not
desire to monopolizs the Territories. They only
demand equal righ,s-equal and exsct justice to

short, all the assumptions Of the "and slavery
party are ridiculous falsehoOds, which only need TO
