His inaugural address, with its sophistical argument for the limitation Lib. 11.43. of the powers of Congress over slavery in the District, had been preceded by a speech at Richmond repudiating, Lib. 11.46. as a native Virginian, the slightest sympathy with abolitionism. Tyler's message, on the other hand, made no Lib. 11.62. allusion to the subject. In the confusion caused by an extra session of Congress, the gag-rule was momentarily relaxed, and John Quincy Adams improved the Lib. 11.97, 98, 102, 106, 125. opportunity to reopen his inexhaustible budget of anti-slavery petitions. At the regular session in December a new Lib. 11.206. gag-rule was promptly applied. Meanwhile, two incidents showed unmistakably the Southern purpose to make pro-slavery and national (or Federal) synonymous terms. One was the reluctance of the Senate, till the North showed its teeth, to confirm Edward Everett's Lib. 11.146, 149, 150, 154. nomination to the court

Child made hild himself, in a letter to the Standard, confessed the weight of Mr. Garrison's arraignment of Adams (Lib. 14: 26). One of the most remarkable proofs of the profligacy of the Third Party is the adoelonging to their party, and especially aim their blows at the Whigs and friends of Clay. Now Mr. Adams is a Whig, a supporter of Clay, a repudiator of Liberty Party, rejects Immediate Emancipation the Liberty Party! The real head (or figure-head) of that party, J. G.

When Congress assembled, the House was in no humor Lib. 15:[202]. to entertain memorials against the admission of Texas, nor was John Quincy Adams disposed to struggle against a foregone conclusion. Stephen A. Douglas's resolution to admit Texas was promptly passed by a majority of five Lib. 15.206. to two, and the Senate confirmed it (on Forefathers' Day) Dec. 22, 1845; Lib. 16.2. by a majority of nearly three to one.

Convince us that it is right to shoot anybody, and our perplexity would be to know where to begin— whom first to despatch, as opportunity might offer. We should have to make clean work of the President and his Cabinet— Douglas, Atchison, Stringfellow, Toombs, Wise, and their associates—Doctors Lord, Adams, Spring, Fuller, and others of the same cloth—Judges Loring, Kane, Grier, and Slave Commissioners generally—the conductors of such papers as the New York Journal of Commerce, Observer, Express, Herald, and the Satanic press universally. These are the intelligent, responsible, and colossal conspirators against the liberty, peace, happiness, and safety of the republic, whose guilt cannot easily be exaggerated.
