the exception OF the old men-who were
on the stage at the time it existed in the
North. and saw it and were Intimately ac.
quain,ed with it---one can hardly find q
person now. who does not think it the
creates. wrong and evil that ever cursed
community. The general delusion on this
subject in tie North as:onisles tie people
in The slave States, and they wonder how
il is possible for a whole people to conceive
