We are satisfied that few dream of the mum
b-r Of slaves sn,anc ipaed by will over the South
1t Is chiefly done by religious men who think
slavery wrong, and who are unwilling to meet
their God without first making. according TO
their view. their souls guililess thereia. But
emanci patton is not confined To them. Very
many moral and kind hearted people, from Il
variety Of motives. but still through fear that
in misery hereafter, sci their slaves free, before
they die.
Nor is emancipation confined to any State.
| II is made in oil, Even in those where the laws
forbid it, il method is devised, practically, TO
give the bond freedom. True, the free blacks
are iessening in numbers in the more ultra pro-
slavery States; but this arises from the severe
laws which have been passed against them. Nc
free negro, for instance, that leaves South Caro-
lima. can return. without being sold a slave.
