The principle of enslayiDg human beings
because they are inferior is this: If a man
is cripple, trip him up; if he is old and
weak, and bowed with the weight of years.
strike him, for he cannot strike back, if
idiotic, take advantage of him, and if a
child, deceive him. This Sir, is the doc
trine of Democrats, and the doctrine of de-
wills as well, and there is no place in the
universe outside the Five Points of he'll
and the Democratic party where the prac-
tice and prevalence of such doctrines would
not be a disgrace. Laughter. If the
strong of the earth are to enslave the weak
here, in would justify angels in enslaving
men, because they are superior; and arch
angels in turn would be justified in subju-
eating those who are inferior in intellect
and POSITION. and ultimately it would trans
form Jehovah into an infinite Juggernaut,,
rolling the huge wheels of his OmnipO-
tence-
