civil authority of the Federal Government
over an the States and territories. but for
the regeneration Of the country. We ware

them. But events which have recently oc-

infamous Black Laws, has proved that the
great heart Of her people beats t1ue to lib,
cry ard union, but slas! that shou1d EST 1t,
her example, cnly reflects greater shame upon
IndIara. For the Hoos:cr State, alone OF all
her free Northern sisters, stands today with
her statute book still dedled BY barbarous
cdIcts which practically nullify the great

In the Legislature, to blot out our damnahle
