SLAVE AND FREE STATES.

Modem Democracy requires but FORTY 'THOUSAND inhabitants to make, a Elate State, hut it takes NINETY-THREE THOUSAND to make a Free State; ergo, one Proslavery man fp as good as two FreeState men and one-third! CtSrSo long as God allows the vital current to flow through my veins, I will never, never, NEVER, by word or -thought, by mind »r will, aid in admitting one rood of free territory to the everlasting curse of human bondage.!— Henry Clay.
