I judge not by the number of links in his chain ; the number of lashes inflicted on his back ; the nature of his toil, or the quality or quantity of his food. It is, when irrespective of the treatment of the body, 1 find two millions of human beings regarded as merchan- dise ; ranked with the beasts of tlie field, and reduced by the neglect of their immortal minds to the condition of heathens ; it is when I find this awful system in full operation, surrounded by the barriers and safeguards of t...he Law and the Constitution, in the United States of North America; the land of Re|)ublicanism, and Christianity, and Revivals, that I say, Slavery in America wears a form more horrid than in any other part of the world. Yes, Sir ; when I am told that in that land, liberty is enjoyed to a geater extent than in any other country ; that the principles on which this liberty and independence rest are these : " God created all men free and equal. " " Resistance to Tyrants is obedience to God ;" and see also two millions of cap- tives ; their dungeon barred and watched by proud Republicans, and boasting Christians ; I turn with horror and indignation away, ex- claiming as I quit the sickening scene.
