Man was _naturally a tyrant_.

Mr.T.said he had one good thing to say of the negroes, viz., that they were an _exceedingly temperate people_.

It was a very unusual thing to see one of them drunk.
Slavery, he said, was a system of _horrid cruelties_.

He had lately read, in the history of Jamaica, of a planter, in 1763, having a slave's _leg_ cut off, to keep him from running away.

He said that dreadful cruelties were perpetrated until the close of slavery, and they were inseparable from slavery.
