During the last two years we have seen & vast conspiracy Cae the rights of man formed and carried forward by the union of po- litical parties and leaders aes the most hos- tile to each other. The leaders of the whig and democratic parties atthe North have united with the slave power to give to slavery new guarantees and securities. We have seen Clay and Cass, Web- ster and Buchanan, Fillmore and Foote, working together, and eulegizing each other. We have seen the patronage and power of a Northern whig Presi- dent put forth See all opposition to these com- promises with evil. We have seen the greatest in- tellect of the land prostituted to the task of making conscientious men despise and reject their convic- tions of duty. We have seen the respectable journals of the North forgetting their ancient gentility in their rage against the men who stood up for the law of God. And we have scen great multitudes of well-meaning but soft-minded people persuaded that this effort was all necessary, to save the Union from some supposed danger. The result has been that apostacies from the cause of freedom have been nu- merous. But still, the worst has been dene, and great multitudes stand firm for the law of God and the rights of man. Now the quostion comes, how shall they take advantage of the coming re-retion. and so organize their efforts as to do the most si vice in the cause of freedom ?
