Fact and experience are. in all cases, the safest
guides. Let us, then, examine what has been

there is an immense difference between the mea-
sures that would be safe and proper in State in
which the free People six, ten, twenty, or one
hundred to one Of the slaves, and those which
would be proper in States in which the latter are
equal, or nearly equal, to the former.
