They are at this moment organizing new slave states.Remember that another country has been committed to slaveholders.Thry have seized upon the territory of Texas, taking it from the Mexi-cans, the Mexicans having abolished slavery without apprentice-ship. (Loud cheers.) Remember that they have stolen, cheated,swindled, robbed a country, for the horrible purpose of continuing it inslavery. (Hear, hear, and cries ofshame.) Remember that thereis a treaty now on foot, in contemplation, at least, and only postponedbetween the President of the United States and these cruel ruffians,till this robbery of Texas from Mexico can be completed. Oh ! raisethe voice of humanity against repubhcans who have sentiments ofpride anrl feelings of self-exaltation. (Cheers.)
