OF the world, which may be as caprieious as the
changes of its physical elements slavery may have
been regarded by the country, embracing a large
part of the Southern sentiment involved in the

sentiment has entirely changed ALI who are now
in any way connected with African slavery as it
exists in the Southern States and understand it as
