co!ored persons, and have pursued it
since by cutting off that opposition to
slavery. In 1886, President Van Buren,
announced in his inaugural that he would
not approve bill to emancipate the slaves
in the District of Columbia. Petitions
were forwarded to Congress for it, the
Democratic party deued their right
there, and Wise, the present traitor, in
arms against our government, petifogged
for the opposition, aud J. @ Adams, the
patriot, (who as Executive of this gov

In 1912, Texas declared for slavery
(and it is believed Shareholders and those
in her interest, aided her struggle for in
dependence for that object and asked
admission as a State. The Wings, with
Clay at their head opposed, he lost the
slavehoIdng vote for President, and was
Defeated. A Democratic Congress ad
mitted her, with a covenant that she
might be made into four slave States,
and of our .slavcholding Mexican
conquest in 1916, the Democratic Con-
gress rejected the declaration that slave
ry should not be established therein -
In 1901 they reluctantly consented to
the admission of California as free
State. and objected to the admission of
New Mexico and Utah, and added per.
petual slavery to the District Columbia

Slave Law, and farther stipulated that
slavery should not be farther agitatcd in

and behold, the same party having con-

istence the Missouri Compromise-the
boundary between freedom and slavery,
and thereby opened our entire territory
to slavery, on the vote of the squatters
therein
Kansas asked admission as free State,
as per vote of her squatters and the
Democratic Congress coutemptuously re-
jectcd her admission, and drove them
from Congress with Ill mace and intimida

to slave code, fixed upon them by
fraud and usurpation. They have lent
their aid and sympathy and the power of

unwilling and injured people. They mo-
nopolizcd the Missouri river to their ex-

1t to me, 50 that l may be relieved from
the suspicion. that our highest tribunal
have been led by the interests of the po-

same party have controlled every branch
OF this government and the extension of
slavery has engrossed it, to the exclusion
of all the important interests of this ma

he had gone to the verge of magnanimity
for the institution Of slavery, which |
