Страница 5 - He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.
Страница 5 - cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred ' rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people, who ' never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery ' in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their ' transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium ' of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great ' Britain. Determined to keep open a market where men should * be bought and sold, he has prostituted his negative...
Страница 110 - Where this is the case in any part of the world, those who are free are by far the most proud and jealous of their freedom. Freedom is to them not only an enjoyment, but a kind of rank and privilege. Not seeing there that freedom, as in countries where it is a common blessing, and as broad and general as the air, may be united with much abject toil, with great misery, with all the exterior of servitude, liberty looks, amongst them, like something that is more noble and liberal.

It is, that in Virginia and the Carolinas they have a vast multitude of slaves.
Страница 613 - States proposed by the thirty-ninth congress, and known as article fourteen ; and when said article shall have become a part of the constitution of the United States, said state shall be declared entitled to representation in congress, and senators and representatives shall be admitted therefrom on their taking the oath prescribed by law ; and then and thereafter the preceding sections of this act shall be inoperative in said state...

Such were all the ancient commonwealths; such were our Gothic ancestors; such in our days were the Poles; and such will be all masters of slaves, who are not slaves themselves. In such a people the haughtiness of domination combines with the spirit of freedom, fortifies it, and renders it invincible.
Страница 3 - They set as sets the morning star, which goes • Not down behind the darkened west, nor hides Obscured among the tempests of the sky, But melts away into the light of heaven.
Страница 319 - By a faction I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community. There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.
Страница 614 - That no person excluded from the privilege of holding office by said proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States shall be eligible to election as a member of the convention to frame a constitution for any of said rebel States, nor shall any such person vote for members of such convention.
Страница 607 - ... and whereas it is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced in said States until loyal and republican State governments can be legally established: Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States...
