Medsry'S manage. on sstOing the bill
for the sbolitiOn Of Slavery, making G
pamphlets Of ifxteen pAgss. In plain
terms, wsmaSt say It Is disgraceto any
man making prstensions to craftsmanship,

Governor to irst submit the message to

Phrsseology and Arrangement, before
sending Il firth for the edi6cation of the
public. The most pertinent description
We hsvs yet heard given Of It, was by q
prominent Democrat, in language more
fcrcible than elegant. Said he: eft Is

The Governor commences by quoting
extracts from the Lawrence Republican
and Atchison Champion, which papers
had desired the passage Of the bill. in or

be has vetoed it, for the satisfaction Of
his political opponsnts, and to show them
that he could do it! He goes on with a
long partisan rigmsrole, precisely like
these with which be used to bore the rea-
derS Of the Ohio Statesman; and old
John Adams and the Federalists are
dragged from their graves and kicked
about most numerically. 1t is strange
indeed that be did not embrace this op-
portunity to revive some Of his foul SLAM

Two things are worthy Of remark here:
First, such was the extent the old and
New England merchants imported Afri-
cans into the Southern plantations. that

hostility to it, and many Of the steadiest
opponents Of what was then, a. now call
