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 tiro FreeState men a ul one-third! - . .... long as God allows''.the vital current to flow through my veins, I will never, NEVERj, 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.
