It Would Be Well For Those Interested To Reflect Whether There Now Exists, Or Ever Has Existed, A Wealthy And Civilized Community In Which One Portion Did Not Live On The Labor Of Another; And Whether The Form In Which Slavery Exists In The South Is Not But One Modification Of This Universal Condition...

I Hold That In The Present State Of Civilization, Where Two Races Of Different Origin, And Distinguished By Color, And Other Physical Differences, As Well As Intellectual, Are Brought Together, The Relation Now Existing In The Slaveholding States Between The Two, Is, Instead Of An Evil, A Good—a Positive Good. . . . I Hold Then, That There Never Has Yet Existed A Wealthy And Civilized Society In Which One Portion Of The Community Did Not, In Point Of Fact, Live On The Labor Of The Other.
