OPINION OF SOUTHERN MEN OF
NORTHERN DOUGHFACES.

Mr.. jefferson in l785, wrote letter TO DR..
Price from Paris, commenting book which
the latter had written in favor OF the A6oll'
ton of Slavery, Speaking Of public opinion
in the Northern States-Northward 'of the
Chesapeake, as Mr.. Jefferson has it. he says:
.Northward of the Chesapeake you may
find here and there an opponent to your doc
trine, as you may find here and there robb.
er or a murderer; but in no greater number"
This language of Mr.. Jefferson's is strong,
but is it not truthful? WHAT greater crime
can be committed, than the enslavcment OF
a fellow being? Mr.. Jefferson, in 1885, said
that ihere was only here ard there an oppo-
nenl to the doctrine of Emancipation. You
will find such says he, in the Northern States
"as YOU will find here aad there robbie. and
murderer; hutin no greater number"
John Randolph snid:
"Sr, neither envy the head or the hear,
oil that man from the north, who rises here
to defend slavery r'-Reply ofJohn Randolph
10 a northern doughface in Congress, in
1890
Cassius M. Clly, Kentuckian, rebukes
the doughfaces in language as severe as
that Of Mr.. Jefferson:
"There is in the north fragment Of men
the shameful advocates of slavery. They
pride themselves on their pre-emInence in
guilt, and challenge the abhorence and de.
testation Of mankind to elevate them to hal

larger than ever before known"
