With what face, Sir, can he who has never respected the rights of nature in another, pretend to claim them in his own favor ? How dare the inhabitants of the southern colonies speak of privileges and justice ? Is money of so much more importance than life?

If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature, it is an Amer- ican patriot, signing r...esolutions of independency with the one hand, and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves. If men would be consistent, they must admit all the con- sequences of their own principles; and you and your coun- trymen are reduced to the dilemma of either acknowledging the rights of your negroes, or of surrendering your own. If there be certain natural and universal rights, as the Declara- tions of your Congress so repeatedly affirm, I wonder how the unfortunate Africans have incurred their forfeiture.
