Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Makes Slavery a Question of National Concern?: A Lecture, Delivered, by Invitation, at New York, January 30, at Syracuse, February 1, 1855 Gentlemen and Ladies, - For the views I propose to submit upon the most momentous question of the age, I solicit at the outset no more of your favor than a patient hearing. Conscious of an utter inability to subject my judgments to the test of any accepted standard among my fellow-citizens, I can only promise that they shall issue from sincere conviction, unbiassed by temporary passion or unworthy motive. Unconnected with existing associations to oppose slavery, it is not my design to assume the championship of any, whilst it is my wish to speak of all with respect, and yet with freedom. Above all, I trust that, in nothing which I say to-night, I may be found to transgress the strict line of courtesy which is due to all men honestly entertaining opinions differing from mine. It is unfortunate that so much violence should have entered into the spirit of this struggle from the beginning. I know not whether it could have been avoided; for, in questions strongly enlisting the passions of men, some of the disputants will inevitably exaggerate, and many will fall into extravagance. This breeds menace, denunciation, and crimination of all sorts; from the effects of which the best side is sure to suffer more than the worst.
