emancipation, he believes to-day as he
has done for years, that if we had long

ton of slavees of the State, We should
now be, as regards all national elements
Of public prosperity, in advance Of our
present position -
The products of our State and its nat
ural RESOURCES are not such as are adapted
to or CAN be developed by slave labor.

reflection, hong since came to stone con
clusion, when the consp;ring leaders at
the South lifted their hGlltl5 against the
Union and pointed to slavery as the in.

public was to rest. They struck a blow
at its very vitals~ in every Border State
under which it has continued to anguish,
and must inevitably result in the ulti.

rightfully belongs, TO take immediate
measures for its removal. which should
