DAVID WILMONT

The negro race already occupy enough of this fair continent ... I would preserve for free white labor a fair country ... where the sons of toil, of my own race and own color, can live without the disgrace which association with negro slavery brings upon free labor.

The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these territories, We want them for the homes of free white people. This they cannot be, to any considerable extent, if slavery shall be planted within them.
