erected between the white race and the
one which they had reduced to.alavery,
and governed as subjects with absolute
and despotic power, and which they
then looked upon as so far below them
in the scale of created _beings, that
marriages between white persons and
negroes or mulattoes were regarded as
unnaturi9 and immoral, and punished as
crimes, not only in tilt :parties. % but in .

nage ; and no diiiitfction in this Veipeet
was made between the free - negro or
mulatto and the slave, but this stigma,
of the deepest degradation, was fixed
upon the whole raee.
We refer to these historicalfacts -for
the purpose of showing the- ied opin
ions concerning that race, upon which
the statesmen of that day spoke : and act- -
ed. It is necessary to do this,in order
to determine whether the general terms
used in the constitution of the United
States, as to the rights of man and the
rights,Pthe people, was intended to lac
clgde them, or to give to them or their
,p6sterity the benefit of any of its provi
sions.
The language of the Declaration el
Independanee is equally conclusive: '
It begins by declaring that "when in'
'the course of human events it becomes
nescesary for one people to dissolve the
Political bands which have connected
them with another, ancl to assume among
the i powers of the earth the separate and
equal station to', which the , aws of Na
ture and - Nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect for the-opinions of maw%
kind requires that they,ehould declare
the reasons which impel them to the see.
aralion."
It then proceeds to say; "We -hold
these truths to be self-evident : that all
men are created equal; that they are en.
dewed bytheir, Creator with certain
inalienable rights; that, among. them 1.,-
life, fiberty and; the pursuit of hapfe‘
nesSe that to s ecure 'these rights gpy sr rt -

Yet the men who frarriethis decla.
ration were great men—highin literary
aequ icemen te; high in their sensaof hon
or, and incapable of asserting prineiples
inconsistent with those which they were ..
acting. They-perfectly understood the
meaning .of Abe language they used, and
how it would , be tiederstood by others; -
and they knew that it would, not in any
pert of the civilized world be supposed .
to embrace the -negro race r which by •
common :consent, had been excluded
from eivlliZed government and the fain
.
ily of nations, and doomed to slavery.,
They,spoke and acted according to the
then established doctrines and princie
pies, and in the ordinary language of the
day, and no one misunderstood them.
