It is clear that the only question of present practical interest arises from the usurpations of the Slave Power and the efforts to extend Slavery.
At Baltimore the delegation of the most important State in the Union, known to be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, was refused admission to the Convention.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
Above all, welcome to the united regenerated Democracy of the North, which spurns the mockery of a Republic, with professions of Freedom on the lips, while the chains of Slavery clank in the Capitol!
