Nh. EDITOR,
Having been sometimes charged With
Inconsistency III the sentiments formerly,
and at TINS time, entertained by ne, Oh
the subject OF slavery, solicit the indul.
gence, through the n ednm OF your pa
per, 10 repei that charge-Not but that
hold 1t to be the riSht, as ii is the autu,
OF every man to change his opinions up
Oh conviction OF error, yet such change
always lays him open, in some measure,
10 the suspicion OF being influenced bS
motives not perfectly pure and correct,
Conscious that | am not liable, III the
least degree, TO such sp,cioDs-that
my sentiments, on this subject, have ever
been what they no-v are, have long
deemed II duty watch owed 10 my
self to make public DENIAL oil such inn
putatlcu.
II has been alleged against me, that
daring the sitting of the Convention, in
1918, al this place, wrote several pieces
in favor OF the introduction Of slavery in-
To this state. ] never wrote but one
piece on tins subject, which was pub-
lished IN the Illinois Mteiie encer, OF
August llth, over the signature OF Pa
cifcus. Believing that the establish
ment of social compact, or Constitu-
ton, Tor the general government Of a
people, always involved compromises OF
some kind or other Of conflicting inter-
ests, and that there was, at that period,
a very large and respectable minority oil
The people in favor of slavery, even in
an unlimited form, at the suggestion and
request of gentleman then high in Of.
| fee, in the territory, wrote the piece in
question. In referring to this address il
will be observed, that The writer ALWAYS
places himself on the side of those who
are called upon by it TO consider the ex.
pediency of making sacrifice, 10 some
measure, of their own feelings and OPT
mons, to the production of general har.
mony and concord For the truth of thi.
position, refer to the whole tenor ant
language OF that address-and in fu Il anc
complete confirmation of the continued
consistency OF my sentiments upon thi.
subject, quote the following introduc
tory passage:
The question is, ought slavery to be
permitted to exist in the state whose
constitution you are about to frame, Oh
not! Were to consul, my own Judge
ment and my own wishes alone, would
answer without hesitation, it ought no
to be tolerated. 1t would perhaps b.
a useless waste of time to endeavor tt
set forth the arguments upon which suc|
a position is TO- he established, nor in
deed could this possibly be- effected II
the ordinary compass Of a newspaper
