dwell on this idea for a moment.
Our Abolition friends pretend that they are
very moral; they love god and justice so much
better than the people of the South; that alth'o

bear in mind how easy it is for youto stand on

does not apply to you. But when man is cal

How came the negroes in the South? The
present inhabitants ofthe South, against whow
the wild fanatics are trying to inGame the feel
ings of the Northern people, are no more rcspon-
sible for the existence Of slavery than we are,
They were born long after slavery had been in
troduced. If you ask me whether they may not
abolish slavery, | say it is impossible until that
state Of things shall have arrived there which
has already arrived in the cast. Wherever the
advance Of the white population, in density anc
in space, shall have gone on until, in thecompe,

the slave will begin to be removed from tht
South as they were from the east. Then, in al
probability, they will be removed by gradua
process, requiring them to pass around the gui
