have miifor.nly and dcterminedly opposed tho
extcnsion of Slavcry to the territories, and
the infainous schemc of Tcxas aunexation.
while the Locofncoism has bcen all this ti:no

and thc purposes they would accomplish.
They have even dcclap-d their prefcrenccj

The uuremittcd aud giant efiorts of the
Whig party to prevcut annexatiou which Lo
cofocoism with eqnal cnergy is endeavoting
to fix upou the natiou can lve no poner to
