SLAVE AND FREE STATES.

Modern Democracy requires but FORTY THOUSAND inhabitants to make a Slave State, but it takes NINETY-THREE THOUSAND to make a Free State; ergo, one Pro-slavery ' man is as good as two FreeState men a id one third’ long as God allows the vital current to flow through my veins, I will never, never, NEVER, by word or thought, by mind or will, aid in admitting one rood of free territory to the everlasting curse of human bondage.—Henry Clay.
