" How comes this amalgamation of the races ? It com. Es from slavery. It is a disagreeable annoyance to persons who come from the free States, especially to their Christian and moral feelings. It is a great hindrance to the proper discharge of their duties while here. Remove slavery from this District, and this evil will disappear. We argue this cir- cumstance alone as sufficient cause to produce that effect. But slavery presents within the District other and still more appalling scenes — scene...s well calculated to awaken the deepest emotions of the human heart. The slave-trade exists here in all its horrors, and unwhipt of all its crimes. In view of the very chair v/hich you now occupy, Mr. President, if the massy walls of this building, did not prevent it, you could see the prison, the jpen, the hell, where human beings, when purchased for sale, are kept until a cargo can be procured for transpor- 4 26 tatlon to a Southern or foreign market, for I have little doubt slaves are carried to Texas for sale, though I do not know the fact.
