Why Should We Vote For Him?

For w hom? For IFenry Clay. We aro anti-slavery men - he is a slaveholder. Both principies anti his prnctiees re in direct anfrtgonism to out's. He believes that MEN mny beconverfed into PROPERTY- that HUMANITY may be held as MFRCHANDISE- and that all thnt is réquired (o work this dreadful transformation, is law. 'Tliat is property what tho law declares to be property,' says Henry Clay. Could Southern kidnappers, therofore, lay their hands upon the angel Gabriel, and enslave him, all that would be needed to justify the deed, would be Imc - the passage of 'An Act entitled an Act for the conversión of Arcliangels inio chattels personal.' ín vain would the captive plead his exalted nature - his heavenly capar.itie?, or rentionslijp to the shining host that stirróund the Great White Th ron e - all snch considerations would be sllenced by the decaration, 'Our law says you are property. Gabriel, and you are property.' Should ie remonstrate against the iniquify of the thing, Henry Clny still answere, 'Legisation has sandificd' 'jvopcrty in angels - so aw-ny with 'the visionary dogma which hokh that' the angels of God 'cannot be the subjects of property ' The principie and the crime which it justifïes. are alike abhonent to abolitionists - thenwhy should we vote Cor theauthor of the principie and perpetrator of the crime'?
