l do, owe it to myself--l owe it to TRUTH owe
it to the suhject-t0 say, that no earthly power

British ancestors for the introduction Of this in
stitntiOn upon the continent Of North America,

present inhabitants Of California and OF New

repfOach Great Britain for doing to US.

establish slavery, and ifthey come here with con-

not us, for forming constitutions allowing the
introduction Of slavery to exist among them

them and care not how extensively they are
known.-Henry Clay, in the q S. Senate.
