290 - L. Nov. 14; ed:2/1 - The adoption of the new constitution of
Missouri forever prohibiting slavery in that state was of an importance
not to be exaggerated. "Revolutions never go backward, especially those
revolutions which have God and Freedom on their side. Men now gray-
haired shall live to see the last fetter fall from the last slave - and
to thank God for his glorious work." (5)
