Here We have the radical view of the case
fairly stated and the radical issue fairly made
IL this view be correct, the American people now
see for what the war has been raged since the
issue of the emancip ition proclamation. If this
view he correct. North Carolina has the sterna-
tive of sacrificing her millions of slave property
