All We Ask Is To Be Let

To One Who Loves His Country In All Its Parts, It Is Natural To Rejoice In Whatever Contributes To The Prosperity And Honor And Marks The Stability And Progress Of Any Portion Of Its People.

Our Armies Were In As Much Chaos In Victory As Theirs In Defeat.

How Idle Is This Prating About Natural Rights As Though Still Containing All That Had Been Forfeited.

The Slave Must Be Made Fit For His Freedom By Education And Discipline, And Thus Made Unfit For Slavery. And As Soon As He Becomes Unfit For Slavery, The Master Will No Longer Desire To Hold Him As A Slave.

If Slavery Be A Sin, It Is Not Yours. It Does Not Rest On Your Action For Its Origin, On Your Consent For Its Existence. It Is A Common Law Right To Property In The Service Of Man; Its Origin Was Divine Decree.
