To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Well, correct these, and a long catalogue of similar things, and render to servants, as "Meridionus" insists should be done, "that which is just and equal, " and slavery no longer exists. The system is prostrated and subverted, as I have shown in my last communication, and you have an entirely different thing. The effort to convict me of inconsistency in saying that " the abstract doctrine that slavery is per se sinful, and ought never to have been broached, " is, in my judgment, an utter failu...re. By this, I meant, as " Meridionus" well knows, that the laws of slave- holding States may force good men into a position which they deplore and abhor. They hold slaves not of choice, but by necessity. They are restrained from acting out the promptings of their humane, be- nevolent feelings by unrighteous and oppressive legis- lation. Now, if they do the best they can, in their circumstances ; if they remonstrate and petition for a change of those laws which environ them with diffi- culties ; if they truly desire to give freedom to their bonds- men ; then I say they are not chargeable with the guilt of oppression.
