It, Sometimes, Suits The Slaveholders To Claim, That Their Slavery Is An Exclusively State Concern; And That The North Has, Therefore, Nothing To Do With It.

The Only Ground On Which A Neutral State Can Claim Respect At The Hands Of Belligerents Is, That, So Far As She Is Concerned, Their Rights Are Protected.

But I Love Honesty, And, Therefore; Do I Make Great Account Of Facts.
