For seventy years this great country,
composed of free and slave States. has
existed pppdertow glorious Constitution,
each State being sovereign within its
own borders, and left perfectly free to
manage its Domestic affairs in its own
way, But in these latter days new
Light is dhrownl in upon US. by infdel
philosophers and statesmen Of New
York and New Ehgland.g Our sister
hood Of States has existedlip peace and
harmony for two generations, and We
have prospered and become great as no
nation cver Gid before-the wonder and
admiration of the whole world-but
this state of things is to continue no
longer, if they get the sway. The Won
derful sympathy of SEWARD aud his
for tho negro, would induce
them TO rcnd the Union into fragments.
and deluge its faircst portion in the
bic cd of the white race. Their policy:
if successful, would make US a byword
and a rcproach among all the nations of
the earth.
