and Freedom cannot consent to fling away any of her

Tertnaciiy and hardihood which banish AL reserve

Carolina naturally take the lead. In this connection

Mason If Virginia Thus, he continued by various
voices Is the claim made for Slavery which spul forth
de6antly a form Of civilization, if its existence
were not plainly inconsistent with the first principle of
anything that can be called civilization, except by that
figure OF speech IN classical literature, where thing

with unprecedented energy, degrading the work Of our
fathers That, by virtue OF The Constitution the pre-
fenced property in Is placed BE- oud the reach of
Congressional prohibition even within Congressional
jurisdiction; tat the save-maseI may at all times

assumptions: the frs assumption Of fact, and the

now made without apology OF hesitation. He met
