Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1863-03-11

BY consultation with your friend Mr.
Garrison, Of Boston, learned that he had
been lsboring for years to overthrow the
government and still had at the head OF
his newspaper the motto, The Consutu-
ton league with Hell which, he IN
formed me, was sham; but II he could
get the people of America 10 believe that
The founders of the Republic were in the
fellowship of Your Majesty, it would be
all right. He made issue on the question
of .averv, which exists only In the South
en- Stat-s, and had well nigh brought
matters 70 . climax in 1850. when IN old
foo! named Webster, from Boston, said,
g. The Constitution found slavery among
us, it recognized it, and gave it solemn
guarantees" and argued that the people
could no, coaScentiousLy disregard these
pledges. (What he meant by this, / can
not Say, as coRscerce is indefnab!e-krown
only to the followers of your Enemy.
However, it had a great effect with the
people.) This Webster, and Il fellow
named Clay, by great exer;ions, succee-
ded in cemen!ing the Union as firmly as
before. The efforts of Messrs. Garrison,
Phillips & Co, having failed, the country
went on in the even tenor of its way. L

well-wishers was cXcellent-that 1t was
the only way in which we could succeed.

and one named Lovejoy-bo;h your par
ticrlar friends-to counsel the people TO
steal all the negroes they could, and to re-
sist the Fugitive Slave Lava part of
the Constitution. Also, with very little
effort, succeeded in inducing popular
preachers Of the Gospel to preach, instead
Of "Christ and him crucifed, the ';Slave-
holder and him be damned" / proceeded
Immediately 70 New York city, and had
conference with our worthy Horace,
and urged ths necessity Of sending some

Horace should not be forgotten, and, in
