But as well may you, when urging a man up-hill with a heavy load upon his back, and with your lash also upon his back, tell him, that be has nothing to do either with the load or the lash.

We must continue to judge of slavery by what it is, and not by what you tell us it will, or may be.

The only ground on which a neutral State can claim respect at the hands of belligerents is, that, so far as she is concerned, their rights are protected.

It is not to be disguised, that a war has broken out between the North and the South. - Political and commercial men are industriously striving to restore peace: but the peace, which they would effect, is superficial, false, and temporary.

I believe that government is for the use of the people, and not the people for the use of the government.

True, permanent peace can never be restored, until slavery, the occasion of the war, has ceased.

I need say no more, to prove that slavery is entirely unlike the servitude in the patriarchal families.
