10th of May;
We have thirty thousand gallant volun.
teers in the field, ready to die in the cause
and yet, the ultra legislation now being
pressed by the Abolition Traitors in Con.
gross is doing us infinite mischief, and
putting US in political personal jeopardy,

from the hands Of secretly organized and
armed traitors in our midst--stimulated
BY theintempsrate Abolitionists in Con.

"PRoPERTY IN MAN."-The Republican
Wide Awake orators and newspapers, in
the campaign of 1850, vehemently denied
that there was any "property in man.
With their usual consistency RI they have
totally ignored that proposition, by purcha.
sing the big & little negroes of the District
Of Columbia at $500 per head and they
desire to extend the purchase by buying
all the rest of four millions of slave in the
Southern States at the same price per cap
ita. If negroes are not property, why we
ask, throw away hundreds of millions of
the public treasury in the purchase ofthem?
