The Ordinance of 1787 put its risk upon Slivery, and the act of 1820, we wee enured, stamped it indelibly, but to what end, if in 1848 we convert the best portion of Mexico into Slave territory, and in 1858, still further extend the 'area of freedom: by swallowing up some new province, country, or continent, for the purpose of making it a home for Slaves horn and grown beneath our own Stars andlettripcs.
