The caterpillers will not vote for the grafting. That class of men will go for the Union while it serves them. Look at the other class. Property is safe in America : and why ? Because we have aimed to establish a government on natural rights, and prop- erty is a natural right; say oligarchic Blackstone and socialistic Proudhon what they may, property is not the mere creature of compact, or the child of robbery; it is founded in the Nature of Man. It' has a very great and important function to p...erform. Nowhere in the world is it so much respected as here. But there is one kind of property which is not THE RIGHTS OF MAN IN AMERICA. 265 safe just now: — Property in Men. It is the only- kind of property which is purely the creature of violence and law ; it has no root in itself. Now, the Union protects that " property. " There are three hundred thousand Slave-holders, owning thirteen hundred millions of dollars invested in men. Their wealth depends on the Union ; destroy that, and their unnatural property will take to itself legs and run off, seeking liberty by flight, or else stay at home and, like an Anglo-Saxon, take to itself fire- brands and swords, and burn down the master's house and cut the master's throat.
