There are not a few honest aud intelligent men
and women in the United States who believe that
slave labor has dictated aud domineered over our
national policy yer since entered on the great
highway of sovereignty, who unceasingly pro-
claim such TO lie the fact, and demand that the
free labor States shall now assert their rights and
seize the helm OF government. These very peo-

returning Fourth of July. and vexed all iudicious
listeners by the extravagance of their encOmums
