It has long since ceased to become a query with me, who were the most amenable to the laws of righteousness those who through the instrumentality of human power, brought into servitude human beings, who naturally were their own equals; or those acting upon the principle of natures law, brought into this position or situation, those who were naturally designed for that purpose, and who's capacities are more befitting that, than any other station in society. Thus, while servitude may and should exist, and that too upon those who are naturally designed to occupy the position of "servant of servants;" yet we should not fall into the other extreme, and make them as beasts of the field, regarding not the humanity which attaches to the colors race; nor yet elevate them, as some seem disposed, to an equality with those whom Nature and Nature’s God has indicated to be their masters, their superiors; nor yet again drag into servitude, through the circumstances of penury or misfortune, those our equals, peradventure of a common parentage with ourselves; but rather let us build upon a foundation which the God of Nature has furnished; observing the law of natural affection for our kind, and subserve the interest of our fellows, by extending the principles of true liberty to all the children of men, in accordance with the designs of their Creator.
