not willing that the fugitive sa s1 i ve law liw should be put in force t intake take tale run tw ly ty slaves back to perpetual servitude and their cry is liba arty and the tina constitution of the united stites states while v anle inie some soine in in the southern statts statis also are much excited and think they un y have hive a good deal to complain of they argue that slavery was allowed and slave holders protected by the framers trainers orthe of the con constitution and their cry is is also liberty and the constitution of the united states the actions and arguments of these thew parties seem to me very much like those of the sectarians sect arians whose cry is that god and the bible is their rule and standard and at the same time are as at variance an cc in their belief in the principles don con contained in the bible as are the heathen and the christian or as light is with darkness Aneas da while mile ruminating over these things lings ti I 1 asked what is liberty the answer naturally came to MY nay mind thattie that the rule do unto others as you would they should do unto you allows all men liberty of thought and conscience ao so that tint it injures no one for it is no liberty where a man enjoys freedom of speech and conscience to the detriment of another for it takes his liberty from him bin or injures him which be contrary to a principle BO so perfect great and glorious as the one above named but jim dim has this great republic which assumes to be based on this principle extended her folds wide enough to take in every stranger who might wish with to make

to the belief of his fathers would they cast their votes to place him in the presidential chair provided he was a firm supporter of the constitution and fully folly competent to fill the place if so liberty is blooming again there is the mahometano Maho with his koran his prophet and his five ten or filly fifty wives can liberty of speech and conscience be extended unto this class of people in the united state states and they be protected in their religion and belief could the people of this boasted land of liberty vote to put a dius Alus sul sui with his wives in the tile white house 7 if

in the way of arial n is 13 to 0 overcome the great resistance offered by so large lar gye a body as is is requisite to render buoyant the car and its necessary dages the balloon or float in the ardi way as in in the tile case of mr taggarts Tag garts a surface of about tn two 0 hundred square of positive resistance to the tile progress of the machine and this has to be overcome by a counteracting pressure on the same resisting r element A moments glance at the arrangements will show how low effects this difficulty is 13 overcome in the fact that the float which in in the ordinary way of ers the greatest resistance is is there convert d into a propeller the diffie din renee erenee between arcing a fixed body through any substance and ind that tint of ofa a rotary is exemplified in inthe the casa cao caa ran fan aumer auger isyou attempt to force it through without ilie tile rotary motion there would be whips erh aps fifty times the power required than there here would be if you turn it in in the proper direction it then to a certain extent becomes ta own propeller another great advantage obtained is the ease with which the float can be to any given angle angie for ascending
