we have.
Notwithstanding that in thls dea'h--iruegle
with Slavery We oannOt overcome our habit OF re-

would be II racrilegious wrong that our poor Pro-
slavery souls would utterly recoii from. We Iro

We never think OF indemnity to the employer wnen

Had il been the relation Of master ard appren Zee,
instead Of master and slave, from which tbs ho.ld
