Fact. 1. The conductora of the antislavery prpss al Washington are nol dependent on the public opinión of the Souih for tl eir personal safe?y or their Ipgal rights. Tiie public opinio of ïhe Norih is suflioient to sustain ihem at the sealof (Jrovernmnt. If the public opinión of the North will not destrov the paper, that of the South cannot. Fact '2. The Norih isstrong enotigh 10 present the extensión of slavery over any more terriiory, and it furiher acqiisition of power in the nntional councils. J,nd 10 nb:lish it in all places wiihin the national jurisdiction. Fact 3. Union among the peop]e of the Norih on this suhjrcr is all ï hal is neees-ary to accomilislï all these übje'éfc. Facl 4.

Facl 6. The South oinnot aluJ'sh the Union without tho consent of the North. Fact 7. The North will not consent I to the abolí ion of the Union for the best of reasons. It is nol for their interest to do sor Fact 8. A rmjority vote ín eaoh of the non-slavehoMing States can elect an antisïavery Presiden though thal majority be bul one votff. Fact 9.
