AT this present time, 1861, there are m ore
than four million slaves in the United Ststes.
Calculating on the basis established by the
census tables for the last sixty years, we find
the fact to be, that at the end of 80 years from
this, there will be not less than fhirtp mil
lions OF slaves within the United States
Considering that like progress in the matter
OF amalgamation for the future will be made
as has been IN time past, We may conclude
that about three fourths Of the number will
be mulattoes-or improvements on that grade.

quoting the defiance which Fitz James hurled

Not to be outdone BY the Great Hard,

Douglas pemoeracy GA u,a,.

The following brief extract from speech
OF stephen A. Douglas at Canolton, H., In
ls4s, is a condensed expression of the SEN
timents promulgated by the Locofoeo leaders
OF that day in regard to Henry CLAY:
"iIENRY CLAY Is A BLACK HEARTED
VILLAIN, and the only AMERICAN states
man VINO EVER SOLD HIMSELF FOR
BRITISH GOLD.''
= Thus did the Locofoeo leaders impress the
masses Of their party with firm conviction
that Henry Clay was q blackleg, guilty OF the
worst political corruption, pensioner on
British gold, and an enemy OF his country.
Now, however, these same men, with the
same selfish purpose, 60 round the country
shedding crocodile tears over the memory of
Clay, and villifying the true heated men
who stood up and did battle boldly for him
to The end of bis earthly career.
