this conspiracy the Free States cannot become
pa.;ics, even by skulking connivance, without
fearful guilt They ought to nave taken Their
stand against any extension Of their responsibility
icr Slavery when Louisiana was acquired, butthey
neglected it, and hereby prolonged the existence OF
Slavery in the Union at least half century
Wa,n tscy did nike their stand, in 1879,
on the admission of Missouri, it was too late,
and they were worsted, as they deserved TO
be, though their effort had neatly destroyed
the Union. Now, with the Past as beacon, if
thew consent to carve out new empire for
Slavery, thus securing it a wider range, fresh

last.


And nov, Mr.. Pebeiap, dare you let your
readers see the opinions you have 50 earnestly
called for-thc whole of them as we put them
Probably not. AT any rate, take back your as
sertion that Mr.. Clay letter was published 81 in
