That spirit, together with the foul slave system that engenders, embodies, and perpet- uates it, — that spirit, which is a murderer from the beginning, and forever will be while it survives, must be crushed into the earth. Justice is as a divine a prin- ciple in God and in man as mercy. An unfit clemency to guilty individuals is cruelty to innocent millions and to unborn generations.
