That they should count, for the basis of Congressional representation, five of their slaves the same as three of our citizens. Before the adoption of the Constitution, a constant system of threatening was kept up, that unless all the humanity of the world was violated, they would not come into the confederacy ; and now the cry is, that unless we 180 ALVAN STEWAKT. permit... these same States to be considered honorable pirates, they will go out of the Union. It has always been held over our heads, in terrorem^ first, that they would not come in ; and now that they are in, that they would not stay in. And so, these chivalrous States have kept the North holding its breath, occasionally having conniption Jits^ lest the chival- rous human-flesh importers should become so enraged at our northern maxims, contained in the Declaration of Indepen- dence, that they would run out of the Union down some steep place^ and get cJtolced in the sea.
