clude the properly Of the slave owner from ter.

that the Americon people are turning from it

the deadly poison distilled in heart surchareed

fdence in Douglas, tgether with his specious So

consider it like the veil ofthe terrible Mokanuaf,
bright and glittcring, and fascinating, but hid

manliness about it which contrasts fayorably
with the pettifogging and demagogueism Of the

the bold murderer who shows his dagger and
proclaims his purposes, than for the sneaking
assassin who tortures and kills while pretending

It is said, though we do not vouch for the
truth Of the report, that after the Mexican
Treaty had been under discussion three or four
days in the Senate, a discovery was made that
it virtually established free trade with the

tic1cs, which, imported from other countries,
arc dutiable to the extent Of 10 to 30 per cent.

cd nations,'' the ratification Of the bargain

trade with both these nations measure for
which our revenue system is not prepared. It
is said, further, that this free trade provision
