take which occurs In the statements made by
Judge Ramsey, vho is . candidate for Governor
Of Ohio. l do this not from any doairs 10 In.
sot correctly before the people the historical

that The, Territory should Be free. Nov thia
ia wholly incorroct The deed Of osasion ain.
ply provided that the tnhabitaata should Be

preserve this complicated system, and carry out
the policy our fathers tnauguratod. knoW nol
Why this system Of coniederAtod ropublios
may not BE- iude6Ritely expanded, and
/ Why the principles that have been inaugurAted
here upOu this new continent, And which are
comparatively new, may not be still further oE-
tended, even into other nations Of the world.
This ia the policy Of the Repablenn party.
