! you propose to prevent so much 'crime

Now, if YOU will select from sanity New 5

| YOU choose which contains four millions "
OF laboring people, am satisfied that the b
statistics will show less amount OF crime Ii
| among the negroes in the South mot as a
| you assert, that the negro race IS better r.
| than the white race, but but because they 4
are better cared for by their employersl "
/ than any other class on the globe, aid 4
/ hence they are not f0rced to steal or rob to Fl
keep their children from starving. As to a
paaDers. they are not known among the e
negroes of the South, while you have =
thousands in every northern city. The r
facts viii further show that the much a
abused people of the South have civilized "
and christianized more pagans and saya- q
ges than all the 300,0OO,O0O reputed chris d
tians besides Yet, you sanity politicians, a
such as Sumner Wilson, Gerrett Smith, b
Giddings. Beecher. Hale and Lincoln, tell a
their hearers that slavery IS the sum OF all o.
crimes. that 4they would give money to D
he'll, murder Ms :" that we should "be for / Ii
eed to die ike poisoned rats :" that 'the II
North and South cannot live together un- p
less we submit 10 your terms ana surfeh- p
der our slaves" that 1t Is better that a Il
million Of lives should be sacrificed than n
tbat ne ebou1d not be made to submit :" b
that .thev are prepared to shed their blood al
to wine out the sin Of slavery, and put ne "
groes on a par with the white race that n
