Says JOIN SHERNAN, I'VE cordially indorse
the opinion
I'VE enter our protest against it, and deem
1t our duty to use our most strenuous efforts

Says John Sherman I'VE cordially indorse
the opinion
THE North has irst as good right to ap-
praise the foreign tmi grants, as the south has

of the Crisis
Says John Sherman, I'VE cordially indovse
the opinion"
''Freemen of the North, hitherto as free
soilers, you have approached but half way to
the line of your duty. A
free-soiler is only tad-pole in an advanced
state Of transformation; an aboltionist is the
full and perfectly developed frog"
Says John SHERMAN, I'VE cordially indorse
the opinion"
The great revolutionary movement which
was set on foot in Charlotte, Mecklenburg
county, North Carolina, on the Goth day Of
May l7S5, has not yet been terminated, nor
will it be until every slave in the United States
is freed from the tyranny Of his master"

Says John Sherman, I'VE cordially indorse
the opinion
at seems that the total number Of actual
slave-owners, including their intire crew Of
cringing hck-spittless, against whom we have
to contend is but 347 ,525 Against this army

of cutting their masters throats and without
accepting a single recruit from the free

Says JoHN SHERMAN, I'VE cordially endorse
the opinion"
ut is our honest conviction that all the
pro-slayery shareholders, who are alone re-
sponsble for the continuance of the institu-

within the cells of our public prisons We're

Says John Sherman, I'VE cordially indorse

AT once let the good and true men of this

Once for all within reasonably short De-
