I turn to you, Republicans of Missouri:
Your countrymen owe ,you a debt of ad
Oration and gratitude to which my poor

You have undertaken the noble task of
showiug the people of the North that the i
slaveliolding States themselves contain I
the elements of peaceable regeneration ;
and of demonstrating ,to
_the Sou th i ullow I
that regeneration can be _affected. Yeti '
have inspired the wavering masses with .
confidence in the practicability of our
l ideas. To the North you . haVe given en
couragement; to the South nu have set
an example , Let we entreat you not to
underrateyour noble Vocation. %Struggle
