This is slavery indeed, and where is the man, come from God, who will show us a remedy?
I look at the free blacks of the North and South.

I say again, this is Abolition! How worthless, how degraded they are, after they imbibe these ridiculous notions.

When I behold the Southern country, and am convinced that it is _impossible_ to manumit the slaves, I conclude that here, at least, they are in their natural condition.

Heretofore, I feel that I have only done my duty in retaining mine, while I give them every means of comfort, and innocent enjoyment, that is in my power.

Now I have seen the result of the Abolition efforts, I am _more_ convinced that my duty has been, and will be, as I have said.
