Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Slavery in Maryland Briefly Considered Letter I. DoDON, March 12 th, 1845. Dear Sir, A short time before the October election, I heard some one say that it was your intention to devote much of your time, should you be elected to the House of Delegates, to the subject of the black population of our State, and to promote, if possible, measures for their gradual emancipation. It gave me, a slaveholder and citizen of Maryland, infinite pleasure to hear it; and it was with the deepest regret I learned soon after that you were not returned to the house. If I have been correctly informed, I beg leave to say I honor you for your sentiment, and I hope you will not allow so good a resolution to die, but will kindle it anew, and seek some other equally practical means of bringing this subject fully and fairly before the public. It is one that has long occupied much of my thoughts, and I have watched anxiously for some one to show his hand in this cause. At this moment my attention has been more distinctly called to it, by the manly, high-minded letter of Mr. C.M. Clay, addressed to the people of Kentucky. There is not a sentiment or a pohtical principle expressed by him to his fellow citizens that does not with equal force apply to our noble little State, and every prediction applies to us as forcibly as it does to them. The time Jias come, there can be no doubt of it, to take the needful steps; slaveholders themselves are anxious for it, and will not be displeased to see the subject fairly taken into consideration.
