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!
It is a cause which, though long kept in check throughout our country, as also in Europe, now confronts the people and their rulers, demanding to be heard.
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
