us look at the genuine article, Not tho tulhs
which tho sophists show US in their premises but
that which they put into their conclusions What
then is slavery Slavery is the subsection OF one
individual to the control Of another for the proht
ofthc latter, 1t has its bhth, roots, life, and only
permancncc in the design Of the Stakeholder to
make the slave profitable to himself No endur-
ing system Of slavery was ever based upon any
thing else or ever will be- few Individual
Shareholders may retain the relation a short time
for other purposes but this does not nyalidatc the
definition. 1t is claimed that slavery is a great
scheme of bcnoyolcncc very Improbable to the
masters Whether it is SO in fact not, it is not
50 in tho design of tho Shareholders. How many
shareholders since the world began have refused
permanently to sell, give away, or set free, their
slaves, after they were convinced that they must
continue Shareholders, if at all, from motives of
charity and bcnovocnce Some it may bo-many
| Christian Shareholders it is to be hoped and be-
| lieyed-have benevolencc enough to do so il they
were satisfied that such was for them the best
| form of benevolcnce. All honor to such but no
system Of slavery ever, ever will be, based
upon the principle Of Charity.
| American Slavery then-whi,h is the very slav-
| cry always in the conclusion very rarely in the
premises ola pro.sllvery argnment-is based upon,
has its vital principle in, the design and purpose
Of the masters to make it profitable to themselves.

mean whatever You may take fancy to wish. but
only what cu ought to wish or expect, and that
the slaves are treated we'll as slaves ought to
desire and expect. This argument is conclusive
for some mind let it pass. 1t is not much for do
nestle animals to be separated the male from the
female, and the young from its dam. They arr
used to it, they opsh to expect it. It's not ex-
actly like robbing a she-lion Of her whcps.
