of the whole people, these: Shall Slavery be
tended and protected by the Federal Government p
Shall the public domain-the Free Territories of the
Nation be surrendered to the blightng intrusion of
Slavery? Shall the Constitution be construed to
cognze and support Slavery National institution?
Shall Slave Code for the Territories be enacted! Shall
the African Slave Trade be re-opened In short shall
the doctrines of Calhoun Judge Taney and Buchanan
supercede the principles of Free Government taught
by jefferson, Madison, and Clay These questions will
demand verdict at the hands of the American people
And there other important considerations to be
decided by the next campaign. Ameng these are,
Free Homesteads for the landess. Improvement of
rivers and harbors. Railroad to the Pacific
trail route. Encouragement of the manufacturing and
Farming industry of the country. Retrenchment and
Reform III the Federal expenses restoration in fact
of the spirit simplicity and policy, of the earlier and
