It would be greater bondage than any you complain of. We must speak ; all the world must speak of it. The fires of criticism are burning all around you; and the South, instead of reasoning or letting others reason, seems ' like scorpion girt with fire, ' more likely to destroy itself and its favorite institution together. Yes, ' the in- stitution ! ' — this, disguise it who may, is the cause, at bottom, of the whole difiiculty. You' are indignant with our opinions about slavery. Only let us of ...the North say, ' We have changed our mind ; you have convinced us that we were wrong ; we have come to see that slavery is a just and admirable thing, and are sorry that we opposed it, ' and you would be good friends and good fellow- citizens with us to-morrow.
