our posterity, if slavery is allowed to monopolize tho virgin "
soil of this continent. It is the inevitable retribution of S3
heaven on any people that have not the courage and integri- S3
ty to maintain their rights. It is not true that the defend-
ers of the rights of free labor seek the elevation of the black S3
race to an equality with the white. They do not propose 2
the emancipation of the slave, but leave that quest ion, both
as to time and the mode of accomplishment, with the States "t
in which slavery exists. They wish to dml with this great
and cmhirrassiu evil in a spirit of friendly forbearance to
wards th e States, but they can not carry their forbearance "Jj
sa far as to virtually become slaves themselves a to sur
render the soil and government of the nation into the hands
of an aristocracy founded upon property in slaves.
Free white labor has rights in the soil snperior to the pre-
tensions of slavery. The slavehol ling capitalist claims that Jj
