Conllnued frolU 1.'lut PallC west with his followers and settling at Salt Lake , Utah territory. They have evacuated their partially errected 'remple at Nauvoo , Ill. , the ruins of which still stands. But nothing could draw the attention of the public from the slavery question. Lyceums sprang up over all the North , every school house and m3 ny private dwelling became a place of public gatherings where the questions of the day were discussed - cussed from every standpoillt. The fugitive slave law was shredded , torn to a.toms , reviled , trampled under foot , and rejected as far as wortal tongue could accomplis bed the work. The underground rail-road was running - ning full force and but few slavcs who succeeded in crossing the Obio river but what eventually gained the promised land beyond the lakcs. But stopl What fascinating , bewitching , story is this that is enchanting the wholc nation. See how eagerly it is perused by old and yo ung , high and low , rich and poor , black and white , male and female , their heart all going out in sympathy for the suffering' I pictured in that talc of woe. Mrs. ) Harriet Beecher Stowe had at one leap , sprang from obscurity to the very pinnacle of literary fame , in giving to the public , "Uncle Tom's Cabin , or LHe Among the Lowly. " The advcate of slavery scoffcd at the picture drawn , denying th.at such cruelty was ever practIced on a Southern slave , but escaped and fleeing negros.told a different talc , and as proof of the truth of their assertion often bareing their backs to show the marks of th cruel lash that time could not errase. To counteract the mighty wave of indignation that went sweeping through the North Caroline Le-Hense put out a volume in answer to "Uncle 'l'om's Cabin" entitlrd "Tbe Long Moss Spring , " which I had the pleasure of perusing and I must say that it was the 1110st fascinating story of southern life that ever fell to my lot to read , but few copies sold in the north , however , and the ill feeling - ing between the two sections was kept at white heat. 1852 another presidential election - tion in which the question of slavery takes a leadIng part. The democrat convention pledged itself to a strict enforcement of the fugative slave law , and denounced - nounced as criminal all agitati m of the slavery question. They nominated Pierce and King. 'rhe Whig candidates were Scott and Graham , the free soilers put forward , Hale and Julian , Henry Clay and Daniel Webster , the two leaders of the Whig party was stricken by death and their mantles fell upon the shoulders of Charles Summer , William Sewart and Salmon P. Chase who became the leaders oj their party. J. C. Calhoun , leader of the democrats , was also called and was succeeded by J effersoD Davis. In this election the old Whig party received its deatb blow. It. was so overwhelmingly defeated that it never recovered. But the slave party was in a quandry what course to pursue for although it had elected it president by an overpowering number , it had lost its prestige in the senate through the aquisi. tion of California. Now to even up matters , the state right party sends Willian Walker a voted filibuster inte Sonora , Mexico , hoping to suc' ceed in wresting that state fron southern neighbor as San Houston had done with Texas. . He failed , howeverin his under. taking and sailed with his ex. peditious to Nicaragua. Here he succeeded for a timl but was forced to retreat. H ( made two or three other attempt ! to capture it but was finallJ driven out. He was then sent t ( Honduras , where he was captur ( anrl shot.

Also , if Spain refused - fused to sell to the United States we would be justified in taking it by force. Now , harl tbe state souvereignty party tried that scheme as they had heretofore done , they would have escaped a great portion of the anathem of the free soilers , but when the president of the United States , cbosen to lepresent the whole people , stepped down from his high calling and joined a piratical - cal scheme to rob another country - try of her possession ! : ! , it is no wonder the fire of indignation went sweeping through the north like a whirlwind. The people of that day understood that its accomplishment was not to further the interests of the United States , but to build up and strengthen the waning power of the slavpry party. But the president soon realized tbat , like the fugitive slave law , this move was about to prove a boomerang and so dropped it. Another plan was resorted to. It was the division of Texas into two or three states. But this Texas positively refused to do. ( To be Continued. ) If You Want to buy good posts take a look at our stock. 2x4 O k , Catulfur , . .
