It has been the nightmare of slavery that has fastened on the breast of the republic. It was this hideous and disturbing element that created the convulsions of the body politic that have so often seemed to threaten us with dissolution. " The pro-slavery spirit in politics has not only been the disturber of our domestic peace, but the cause of much reproach to us in Europe. It half paralyzed the principle of civil liberty where it existed. It neglected the general education of the youth. It was... ever contumel- ious in its opposition to the national policy of raising up diversified industry. It had not, and from its nature, could not, have any sub- stantial sympathy in the common welfare of the masses. Selfish, arrogant, and unjust by nature— ^condemned by a discriminating world for the compound of vices interwoven into its relationships, it has at last, through despera- tion, taken refuge in the law offeree. "In order to judge with accuracy, it is ne- cessary to iinderstand what brought slavehold- ers to the desperate resort of attempted revolu- tion.
