SLAVE AND FREE STATES.

Mod ern Democracy requires but FORTY THOUSAND inhabitants to make .■■ 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! frrso long as God allows the vital current to fl nv 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.
