To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even our author admits that " bad as Slavery is, Massacre would be far worse. " The right to decide is with them, morally and politi- cally, — and the correctness of their decision must be determined by the true state of the facts and a cor- rect estimate of probable consequences. Dr. C. Yields the whole argument, not unadvisedly we presume, when he says " The Legislature may place the colored race under guardianship — may im- pose such restraints as the public order shall require, and may post...pone the full enjoyment of personal liberty even to the next generation. " p. 50. Whence is their right to do this ? The law of self- preservation gives the right. They may impose this restriction for a whole generation and defer for the life of a great majority of those, now in being, the unalienable and inestimable right of freedom, if they do truly and honestly believe this delay would promote the cause of humanity and the common good. Why may they not enforce private ownership on the same principles ?
