Synopsis
Excerpt from Official Proceedings of the Republican Convention Convened in the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 22d of February, 1856
Thus ended the firstgreat contest of Free dom and Slavery for position and power in the General Government. The slaveholding inter est had achieved a virtual victory. It secured all the immediate results for which it struggled; it acquired the power of offsetting, in the Fed eral Senate, two of the free States of the Con federacy; and the time could not be foreseen when, in the fulfillment of its compact, it would' yield any positive and practical advantage to the interests of Freedom. Neither then, nor for many years thereafter, did any statesman dream that, when the period should arrive, the slaveholding interest would trample on its bond, and fling its faith to the winds.
