The objection seems to proceed still upon the implied ground that the abolition of the slave trade is more a duty of Great Britain, or a more leading object with her, than it is or should be with us ; as if, in this great effort of civilized nations to do away the most cruel traffic that ever scourged or dis- graced the world, we had not as high and honorable, as just and merciful a part to act, as any other nation upon the face of t...he earth.
