that the President Las not forgotten il, aud that hei

OF the separated States under the domination OF the
slave interest.
No CONCESSION TO SLAVERY.
We have 10 CONCESSIONS 20 make to Kentucky, or
10 any other Border Slave State The elavehoders

Kentucky tie native State OF the President VIII not
remain in the Union, unless permitted TO dictate liz
policy and make her slavelnterest lis law, then let
her be treated rebel State and coerced az we are
coerCiDg the other rebel States into loyalty We VIII
no more consent TO allow Kentucky than South Car
Olina or Georgia 10 impose her sayepohcy upon the
Government. We of the Free States intend to assert
and maintain our own freedom, our own rights and
dignity, and to be something else hereafter IN the
Government of the country than the mere ldckeNs o1
Southern shareholders We are fighting to vindca,e
our own rights and our Government must reco'leet
that in this contest il is bound to take our rights, the
rights Of 'reemen, into the account. ewl5 TIE Ad
