To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Davy long since asserted to be true, "that injuring one class * for the immediate benefit of another, is ulti- ' mately injurious to that other; and that, to ee- ' cure prosperity to a community, all interests * must be consulted." Upon this point I there- fore conclude, upon a re-examination of the opinions and speculations of the early fathers of the Republic, and " from actual results," they were right in pronouncing slavery an evil to be deplored and to be got rid of as soon as practicable.... The advocates of slavery, with a view to shield their system from attack, and to add sanction to it in the popular mind, assume for it a constitutional recognition ; that, as a system, the Constitution givos It a legal guar- anty. This is mere assumption, and has no foundation in fact. I deny that the Constitu- tion, upon any fair construction, regards slaves as property ; but, on the contrary, it treats them as persons ; allows them to be counted as a basis of representation. The article re- lating to fugitives from labor is sometimes re- ferred to as recognising the property character of slaves ; but here again they are regarded as persons, and not property.
