wiring letters to the South to convince the
people there that however anti.alavery he may
hare been twenty years. ago, be is now as or.

Editors rrcas and Tribune:
1t will not be uninteresting to most Of your
readers, to know what sacrifices and efforts the
fathers Of Tie State made, to resist the intro
duc.ion Of slavery into this State in 1928. Those
who desire to be- informed by what nefarious
means that scheme was near being fastened on
the people Of lllinis, will find with some excep-
tions; correct statement in Ford's History of
Illinois. The incorrectness Of his history con-
s:sts in stating that Cor. Edwards was in favor
Of the convention movement, aud that both
sides resorted to detraction aud abuse during
the exciting contest Gov. Edwards was against
calling the convention, and the leaders Of the
opposition, we're among the best men in the
state. They advocated the great question Of
human freedom. with drmness it is true, but
with the spirit that always characterises the
friends Of justice, humanity aid truth. The
character Of these men for moral rectitude, for
bids the idea that they could hare resorled to u
"perfect lava Of detraction," to defeat eyen
wicked and pernicious measure. Truth and
fair argument were their only weapone. Six
teen of the subscribers, to the accompanying
document were members Of the Legislature
To form An adequate conception Of the sacrifi-
ces that these men made to defeat what they
considered scheme, ffaught with bad faith to
