daring the lest Presidential canvass that
slavery would eventually extend over, and be
established in, all the Northern aa well as
Soothers States of the Union.
j*}C Theajlitor of the Keokuk Journal, the

•f if money can be made by it.
As slavery exists in Missouri, and has ex
isted in Russia for a thousand years, and, on
tbe otEer band, as slavery has been abolished
by law in Jamaica and other tropical Islands,
facts seem to stand in direot opposition to
the Journal's pocket and oiimatie h/^oth
