No nation ever did or ever can recover from slavery by such methods." — Charles James Fox, Letter to Lord HoUand, ISth June, 1804. Pardon me if I express a regret, profound and heartfelt, that the pretensions of slavery, whether in its claim of privilege or in its doc- trine of secession, were not always encountered boldly and austerely. Alas ! it is ourselves that have encouraged the conspiracy and made it strong. Secession has become possible only through long-continued concession. In pro- po...sing concession we have encouraged seces- sion, and while professing to uphold the Union, we have betrayed it. It seems now beyond question that the concessionists of the North have from the beginning played into the hands of the secessionists of the South. I do not speak in harshness or even in criticism, but shnply according to my duty in unfolding his- torically the agencies, conscious and uncon- scious, which have been at work, while I hold them up as a warning for the future. They all testify to slavery, which from the earliest days has been at the bottom of the conspiracy and also at every stage of the efforts to arrest it.
