Slavery must be throtted t1e South, great aud

NORTH scRuPuLoue-TmE THEORY THAT JOHN RaowS
PRACTSED
With regard 10 the upnatOnal and demoraizng system
of slavery, we believe the majority Of Northern people
too scrupuous They TO think that IL enough
for them TO be mere freesoiers TO Keep in cheek the
dnsive elem Mt Of slavery and 10 prevent 1t from
ing the bounds within which it regulator by
municipal Law. Remss in their national duties, as We
contend they make positive attack upon the insttu
tons in the Southern States.
Did they not in he days that tried mems sous strike
as hard blows TO secure the Independence OF Georgia
they die in defending the liberties Of Massachusetts, and
it not noorousy true that the oyism Of South Carons
prolonged the two at easS Is 1t not moreover
equally true that the ogarchs of South Carolina have been
unmitgated SITS and bores to the general government
since organized ana that the free and consc
epous people of the North virtually excluded from
incontestable fact that the Northern States furnished
about twot rds Of all the American troops engaged the
Revolutionary war; and though they were neither more
less brave patriotic than their fellow soldiers Of the
South yet nasmuch the Independence Of country
mainly secured by virtue Of their numerical strength
think they ought TO consider not only their right but
their duty to make firm and decisive effort to save the
States which they fought TO free from falling under the
yoke Of tyranny than that which overshadowed
them under the reign Of King George the Thr Freemen
North we earnestly entreat you TO think OF these
things Hitherto. free haye ao
