sponsible for all'these indispensable cru

Notwithstanding this cruel persecution

tho fathers of tho Republic designed for
all AMERICANS, arc now making de-

recognition thus wrung from tho re-
luctnut trainers of that great instru-
ment, enabled these States to intrcuch
themselves behind tho perverted doc

IL claim of Constitutional obligation to
mOintain slavery in States; to

principles Unconstitutional liberty lam
guished for want of government sup
port. OliEarchy injured its power
with subtle design. It's history for
eighty years is rcplete with uupnrnl-
lcled injuries and usurpatiOns. 1t de-
volopcd only the agricultural localities
geographically distinct from tho free
labor localities, and less than one third
of the whole with African slaves; il
held four millions of human beings as
chattels, yet made them tho Iasis OF uu-
just power for themselves IL Federal
and State governments. To maintain
their enSlRvemcnt it excluded millions
of free white laborers from the rich
est agricultural lands of the world, and
forced them to remain inactive and I'M
productive on the mineral manufacture
ing localities, comprising two-thirds OF
the South, and real unGevelopcd
wealth, simply because the localities
were too poor to perpetuate slave labor,
and consigned them to unwilling igno-
rance and poverty by denying capital
and stranGlinG enterprise and will OF
the free States from free labor localities
by unmitigated intolerance and pro-
scription, thus guarding the approaches
to their slave domain against demo.

citizens of the other States OF theiI
privileges and immunities in the

alike unjust to Northern citizens, and
destructive of the best interests of the
States themselves. Alarmed mt the pro
