In his time, the Slave Power, though always the secret spring which set events in motion, began to let its workings be seen more openl}-- than ever before. And. From his time forward, Avhat a graduated line of still di- minishing shadows have glided successfully through the por- tals of the White House ! From Van Buren to Tyler, from J^yler to Polk, from Polk to Fillmore, from Fillmore to Pierce ! " Fine by degrees, and beautifully les=, " until at last it reaches the vanishing point. 16 The ba...leful influence thu. > ever shed by Slavery on our na- tional history and our public men has not yet spent its malig- nant forces. It has, indeed, reached a height which a few years ago it was thought the wildest fanaticism to predict ; but its fatal power will not be stayed in the mid-sweep of its career. The ordinance of 1787 torn to shreds and scattered to the winds, — the line drawn in 1820, which the slave-holders pligiited their faith Slavery should never overstep, insolently as well as infamously obliterated, — Slavery presiding in the Cabinet, seated on the Supreme Bench, absolute in the halls of Congress, — no man can say wha^^sbape its next aggres^sion may not take to itself.
