SLAVE AND FREE STATES.

Modern Democracy requires but FORTY THOUSAND inhabitants to make r-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 and 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.
