any necessary and "lrrepfessible conflict
between free and slave labor, but a conflict
between rival aspirants In the race of ambi-
ton, NORTH and south, urged on by an inofdi-
nate greed Of Official power and pIunder-a
conflict which can onIy be repressad by a
powerful aud successful effort by the FREED
OF the Union to rouse the people to d eonyic-
ton OF the reality and magnitude of the
impending dangers to its existence.
