Ease up, the play is over.

If any young man is about to commence the world, we say to him, publicly and privately, Go to the West

Ah! if the pulpit would practice what it preaches, then all would be well.

If you have no family or friends to aid you . . . turn your face to the Great West and there build up your home and fortune.

Do not lounge in the cities! There is room & health in the country, away from the crowds of idlers & imbeciles. Go west, before you are fitted for no life but that of the factory.

We should not care much whether those thus united (against slavery) were designated 'Whig,' 'Free Democrat' or something else; though we think some simple name like 'Republican' would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery.

We are not one people. We are two peoples. We are a people for Freedom and a people for Slavery. Between the two, conflict is inevitable.
