"O1gbt American Slavery to DO perpetuated ?"
This question l will affirm, when, in the course of
this controversy, | reach it. For the present. |
have only to say that tho institution OF slavery was
established for that class of the human family who
had not the capacity to provide for their wants,
and of this class are the entire African race-a
class that existed in the days of Moses-has exist,
ed ever since, and will continue to exist as long as
man is clothed with the inGrmities of mortality
The deere has gone forth, that fully two thirds Of
the colored race Of man shall work for the rest in
the capacity Of bond or hired servants. 1t is a &c.
cree that pefvades the dominions of civilization,
not as the edict Of duty, butsof fallen humanity );
and to meliorate the sufferings Of the dependent,
by ahording them o competency during sickness
and aged infrmity, bondage was instituted by Mo.
SEES, under the inspiration Of God. This form Of
slavery, then, is in perfect accordance with the
will of God, and, / shall be able to show that
American Slavery" does not differ in form and
principles from that of the chosen people of God.
l endorse without reserve that much abused sen.
timent of an eminent Southern statesman, now no
more, Gov. McDufGe. that slavery IL the corner
stone of our republican eGiice," while | repudiate
as rIdiculously absurd. that much landed but no,

"all men are born equal" God never intended to
make the negro the equal of the white man. either
mentally or physically. He never inten ded 10
make the butcher n Juge, nor the baker a Presi-I
dent, but to protect them according to their claims.
Pope has beautifully expressed this
'Order is heavens first law, and this confessed,
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest"
[Applause.
l have visited the negro localities Of this, the
Quaker city and in every instance, | have found
them more miserable and destitute, as q whole,
than the slave population Of any portion Of the
South. The same condition was noted in other
free cities, and the speaker promised that hereafter
he would say more OF this, to prove why American
slavery ought to to be perpetuated. Your negroes
are only free in name. Suppose one attempts to
avail himself of the privilege OF a vote, and he
should differ in his choice of candidates with your
white lords of creation, he isnpprehensive Of "apos'
tolic blows and kicks" which pious abolitionists
will administer to him. The negro cannot get in
to an omnibus, enter a barroom frequented by
whites. nor a church or q theatre, nor can he enter
the cabin Of a steamboat on one Of your Northern
rivers or lakes, or a first class passenger car on one
Of your railroads.
When q negro has dared to do so in New York

taken his case into Court, when it has been held
that the conductor served him right. Industry il
