Webster defines the word compromise, An AMIGA

settle their differences by mutual coneesston' Inc
word, however, seems to have another meaning, not

il has not can any OF those who continually calling

principle that Slavery ought not TO be extended into

We opine that the safest way to meet such questions
rs agitate the country is TO look them square in
the face and apply radical remedy 10 a desperate

be resorted to. TIE Constitution as it is should be
proven to be reality, before we attempt 70 make q
