last. though not least, the compromise Of
1850 and 1854, which I choose to Join

purchase California into the Union, We
had to give 10 the South monstrous pre-
negatives under a solemn guaranty that
il we adopted the principles Of the Kan
sas-Nebraska bin they would let the
whole question OF slavery renain there.
Here we have the FIVE compromises en-
tered into between the North and South
an the all absorbing question of slavery,
and the North now charges the South

having received all the benefits they try
to deprive the North Of their benefits
