as It is not generally k: wn that it wa* M-*. th- Lincolt s infloenee. which up to the Greeley ml _ . Pres t stra:r.i constitute nal qne'n rs involved i the slave-y cr. business. This distinguished lady, as I well ie. know, has not the slightest vl *ubl that slavery nts in slave Stales is protected by the Const ita-!ry tion.
