From having been the slave, he will become the master; from having labored to enrich others, he will force others to labor to enrich him.

The laws of nature are inexorable, and this is one of them.

The white men of the South may turn pale with rage at this aspect of the case, but it is written on the wall.

Already I have seen in the South the black and white farm laborer, working side by side for a black landlord; already I have seen in the South a black and a white brick-mason (and carpenters as well) working upon a building side by side, under a colored contractor.

And we are not yet two decades from the surrender of Robert E.Lee and the manumission of the black slave.
I have no disposition to infuriate any white man of the South, by placing a red flag before him; we simply desire to accustom him to look upon a picture which his grand-children will not, because of the frequency of the occurrence, regard with anything more heart-rending than complacent indifference.
