When the long smouldering conspiracy to divide

complete abasement to the Slave Power sulmina-

necessarily regarded resistance to this conspiracy
as paramount to all other considerations, and de-

Slavery is the true and only absolute cure for our
National ills-that any expedient that stops short
Of this can have but transient and illusory suc-

by another-neither Summers, nor Writings, nor
any of the various Copper-head devices for aehiev

power of its traitorous foes-but, exhortng the |
American people TO have faith in their Govern

The present session of Congress will be an ex-
