prevent the inferior from being either as a class or as individuals he very that it is because an of providence what a god must hunter have and what parents must there be in virginia who are not disgraced by treating their children as the slaves are generally treated mr hunter as might naturally enough be supposed has a gloomy and uncomfortable view of the race to which he belongs instead of entertaining the belief that men are bom to assist each other to make each other more happy that strength is given to the strong to aid the weak he says the whole progress of ordinary life seems to consist in a series of achieved by the stronger over the weaker that as amongst herds of animals the stronger tiie larger share of the food designed for all and it at the expense of the weaker so of the races of man the superior or the inferior and the equal and general reward of society is but a universal struggle man and man � not for the perfection of their nature but for the that are to be obtained with regard to s speech we shall little to say it is not very long as speeches on the wrong side or on the questionable side usually are nor has it the clearness and of mr s speeches i hich

don was on the subject of knight but as indistinct and unsatisfactory as mr often is we get from him some matters worthy of consideration it has been the opinion � universal we think amongst impartial men � that in a state or territory where slavery was not established or in some form recognized by law it could not exist at least nowadays but it seems that this opinion was altogether a mistake for the tells us that the precise converse was decided in the supreme court of � and that the learned judge who pronounced that decision stated it as a legal that in all in which the are not absolutely opposed to slavery persons reduced to that state may be held in it to such a degree of corruption has slavery brought our state courts to examine such an opinion and formally show its would be to
