ed in The atrocious doctrines of the bred
Scott decision--in the arrogant demand
for the re-opening Of the African Slave

the Territories, force upon us, in common
with the people Of the Free States, the
necessity of renewed, united, and unre-
uniting effort, in behalf Of Freedom, Free

States, makes property instead of man
hood, the basis Of suffrage. and which in
the leading Democratic State of South
Carolina excludes every man who is not

right of holding Office, is reproach to
the ago in which we live; and is opposed
alike to the theory Of our government,
the spirit Of our institutions, anu the right
of MAJ.
