The agricultural, the manufacturing, the great commercial interests of this country, are entirely ignored, neglected, and forgotten, that the interests of one hundred thousand slaveholders may be advanced.
But if you think that Constitution violated, you have your remedy.
Punish the thousands of others who have committed acts of violence against free-State men, and are yet unwhipped of justice.
Yet the whole power of this Government is devoted to that one object; its entire strength concentrated in one spasmodic effort to extend slavery.
