“Where’s now the boast, which even thy guarded tongue, Cold, calm, and proud, in the teeth o’ the senate flung, O’er the fulfillment of thy baleful plan, Like Satan’s triumph, at the fall of man? How stood’st thou then, thy foot on Freedom planting, And pointing to the lurid heaven afar, Whence all could see through the south window’s slanting, Crimson as blood, the beams of the Lone star: The Fates are just; they give us but our own; Nemesis ripens what our hands have sown. There is an eastern story, not unknown, Doubtless to thee, of one whose magic skill, Call’d demons up his water jars to fill; Deftly, and silently they did his will, But when the task was done kept pouring still. In vain with spell, and charm the wizard wrought, Faster and faster were the buckets brought, Higher, and higher rose the flood around, Till the fiends clapped their hands above their master drowned.” New and startling scenes are passing before us continually. No man of common sense, will declare to-day, that he will not be on the side of freedom to-morrow.

Include Texas, and go from the East boundary of the Louisiana purchase, to the Rio Grande, thus: COLORED RACE, 1820. 1830. 1845. Louisiana, 79,500 124,000 245,000 Missouri, 10,550 27,000 71,851 Arkansas, 1,677 5,000 40,000 Texas, 0,000 5,000 50,000 ------ ------- ------- Total, 91,727 161,000 406,851 The slaves keep pace with the whites! If carried into Mexico, their masters bring a colored race, and find one there! The oppressive burdens of slavery, therefore, will keep down Anglo-American progress in that direction!” _Cincinnati Chronicle._ Who is there, after looking at these facts, will question the probability of the assumption, that this republic, and this continent, are to be the theatre in which the grand drama of our triumphant Destiny is to be enacted.
