Shall we give up our activity, industry, equality, practical as well as theoretical, for the listless and comparatively idle life of the southern planter? If there can be a suggestion of an impossibility, an impracticable absurdity, it is this. If it be idle, then, to think of this, is there any other expedient ? Can the south be induced to give up slave- holding ? However preposterous it may sound at this day to say so, we do not hesitate to express our belief, not that it wiU be induced to do... so by any action from with- out, but that it will do this of its own accord, from an enlightened regard to its own true interest, from a convic- tion of the right, and a desire to practise it, from that true self-love which prompts to just and benevolent kindness to others, from that patriotism which cannot submit to en- tailed inferiority among the nations of the w^orld. Never will it yield to external pressure, to mere declarations of authority not granted in any charter, nor prescribed in any constitution.
