Its time that We had dccidr against further
extension OF Slayery-that while we will not in
terero with the rights Of the States, we are deter
minedy fixed in our resolution, that the Terrific
~ Of our country shall be cOnseCuted TO free
labor. That no longer shall the great ground
work ofour declaration olrights-the basis Of our

ofright--the dictates Of c1nsceuce--that 40 long
er shall these he trodden down be crushed out

irvioable the rights of all to lie and liberty who
may obtain a foothold in the North West--that no
longer will we couutenanCe u judiciary who will
under "safo precedcuts" give up TO Slavery those
who are seeking freedom.
The sympathy of the Staie--OC all lovers of self

l agree with You that the aggressious Of the
Slave power care sufficient TO alarm every true
Patriot Every coucesson the North has ma G
seems to have emboldeued the South TO make
new demands Having defeated us in our Efforts
to prevent the extension Of slavery, Southern
politicians now seek to secure the National power
Tor the sole purpose OF extending q e area Of
slavery; having abolished the Congressional in
terdiction upon the Introduction of slaves into
the Federal Territories, they have now, with the
assistance Of the judiciary, proclaimed as part
of the fundamental law, that the constitution car
res slavery into every Territory; and finally
Southern statesmen seek to engage the Republic u
an infamous and piraticul traffic by the repeal Of
the existing laws against the slave trade These
abominal doctrines, aud above a the success
which has hitherto attended them, may well excite
the fears of the Patriot
