How self-righteous they are! Our people, too, are perpetually quoting what Thomas Jefferson said about slavery in his day.

Pray, has there been no progress?
Why are we not permitted to hear what Southern men, as good as Jefferson, now say about modern slavery ?" "My dear," said I, "perhaps you are not fully qualified as yet to judge of this great subject in all its relations.

The greatest and wisest men are divided in opinion about it." "Great subject!" said she, "please let me interrupt you; there is but one side to it, I should judge, from reading our papers.

What do some of the 'greatest and wisest men,' on the other side, have to say for themselves?
Are they all 'friends of oppression,' 'enemies of freedom,' 'minions of the slave-power,' 'dough-faces'?
Husband, I am thoroughly disgusted.

I have been compelled to have uncharitable feelings toward thousands of people like this Southern lady; I confess I have really hated them, as I hate men-stealers and pirates.
