Slavery is founded violence, We have already too
clearly seen OF course it can be sustained only by kind
red violence sometimes against the deenceess slave,
sometimes against the freeman, whose indignation is
aroused at the outrage II is founded brutal and vu-

Slavery paints itself again in its complete abrogaon OF
marriage recognized sacrament by the church, and
recognized as a contract wherever civilization prevail
Under the law Of slavery such slcramentis respected
aud NJ such contract can exist The ties that may be
formed between slaves are all subject TO the selfish inter
ests or more selfish lust of the master, whose license
knows no check. Natural affections which have come to
pether are rudey torn asunder is this ALL Stripped
of every defence the chastity OF whole Is exposed

"By the license Of slavery, whole race is delivered
over to prostitution and concubinage without the pro.

the enormty Of this institution, which is now Wanted as

Elsewhere violence shows itself in spite of law, whether
social or statute in the slave States it is because Of law
both social and statute Elsewhere it is pursued and
condemned in the slave States it is adopted and honor
