We do not intend to exaggerate the difficulties and evils which
upon desire simply present the question which
cannot avoided and be solved in its true light that
there any who have not considered in all it's magnitude re-

In the Congress Of the United States and from the roEtrum In
every city and village the North the leaders Of the Republican

These considerations which force themselves upon the
