the unconditii nal freedotr of every slave in
the Southern States;” this seems to be
the great end which scrapes so roughly
down their venom >us throat®.
Every man knows who know®,anything
about our national affair*, that thi* is only
a collateral questi in, aml even if this was
the main object for which we are strug

will have the satisfaction of making them
fight, run, or desert.
