declared Difference TO the prevailing option, which re-
garded Slavery temporary, destined ~ on 70 pass
svay All looked forward TO this Il a day, which
seemed 10 be almost at hand. In harmony with this
expectation, Slavery prohibited in all the existing
territories OF the Union, 70 that when Washington, AZ
first President Of the United States, at hrs inaag
her. in New-YoIk took his first oath 70 support the
Constitution the flag of The Republic nowhere the
land within the juri,dction Of Congress covered a
single slave Li,tle then did the Fathers dream that
the Evil which they regarded with shame, and which

before the world Little did they dream that Tire Con-
stutjon from which they had carefully excl1ded the

ally that could not BE- reached BY CODgresslJna pro-
