NEXT place, the northerner has been used
10 see labor done by arms to which con-
scious freedom gives energy and his es-
rimaie OF labor j. therefore very different
from. that of the southerner, accustomed
from childhood to the drawing pace, and !
laDgnid motions Of slave; hence, the
Yankee master naturally requires more
work than can be done BY chaitel the |
motive-poWer is wanting. Your system
takes the handspring from the watch
emancipation puts it in again. Try it, 1
boseech you.
j S0pfherner. You do not consider " hat
You propose. What if we asked you to
give up your oxen and sheepi Our
slaves are our wealth.
Nortberner. Thought you said lhey
were nothing but a bill Of expense. IL
seemed strange, to be sure, that when you
lost your "Dill Of EXPENSE" you come
hurrying on 10 the North, and offered
$500 or 3 1000 reward 10 get your burden
back again and supposed the reason il
seemed 10 me incongruous, was, that did
not, as you saw. understand the patriarch

Southeyner. Did you ever consider
what would be the horrid effect of letting
the slaves loose upon their masters?
Northerner.f Did II ever occur to you
thar for half century the masters have
been let loose upon the s.aves2
S0ntherReY We belong to superior
race. God made them our interiors: nm
der no circumstances whatever could they
ever rise 70 an equality with US. The
great fish olways eat the little fish.
NorfteyneJ. i have been accustomed
/. to.adopt higher standard for men, than
for fishes; but a brutal system may well
adopt brute maxims. Ii it be true, that
this class are by nature our interiors, II
would be the part Of enlightened phiIoso.
ply TO mike amends, by giving them in
creased facilities Tor acquiring knowledge,
instead Of excludingtlhem from our COL
leges and schools.
SoptAsrnsr. That would bring about
tlne state Of society, indeedi The next
thing, we should have black President.
A fac prospect for my sons, to plead q
cause before black judge, or be trumpet-
or 10 General Cuflee.
Northeraer. Thought you said just
now that they were by nature our inieri-
ors. and could never rise to an euualitv
under auy circumstances2
Southernsr. have business 10 attend
TO-. and must bid you good morning In
duige what dreams you like Of social
equality luckily. there is natural, in
siinctive antipathy between the races, that
will always prevent your dreams from
being realized.
Norfherney. We'll, am content. to
leave nature 10 take care of her own laws
But do wish could give you clearer
ideas Of the principles Of freedom.
'Soniterner. tSmilling.) Clearer ideas,
indeed The only place where freedom I
us really understood is at the South
Burke himself vouches fol our high and |
naughty spirit Of liberiy.v /
Northerner. Your high and naughty |
spirit few will deny who have witnessed
its manifestations on the floor of Congress.
But on this subject Of emancipation, YOU
certainly will be willing to examine both
sides. If you are candid man. Allow
me 70 send you Thome and Kinball's
book. tosprove 10 you how il works in the
West Indies.
Sohtherner. THANK you; but It would
noble safe for me 10 receive any anti
slavery document through the post office.
(. IL were suspected Of reading such things.
should expect to be ridden on rail. and
think got off cheaply too. /,
N0rtherner. l thought you said the
South was the only place where freedom
was really nnderstood2 should consid-
'er il poor sort Of freedom, if could not /
receive such papers, and read such books,
as l liked.
: 1Southerner. You know, as we'll as l
do, that your books and papers contain
pictures calculated 10 excite rebellion /
among our slaves.
Noyfheyner. Did you ever see the coat
-oi arms Of Virginia. "A man. sword in
hand, standing on the PROSTATE body Of his
oppressor, and exclaiming, !" So be il unto d
tyrants |" is not very safe pictorial rep ;
resention,' to exhibit 10 slaves. Isuppose
they order all human chaltels to look the :.
other way, when that ensign is unfurIed. n
But this has nothing to do with the eman-
cipasion in the West Indies. Promise I
me you will read that book.
S0ntherner. Il would be o; 70 use. Tie
should not believe line oft. 1t is dis q
gushing to bear Of the universal amaIga- a
