There is nothing to fear from immediate Emancipation, but every thing from the continuance of slavery.
Perhaps you have feared the consequences of immediate Emancipation, and been frightened by all those dreadful prophecies of rebellion, bloodshed and murder, which have been uttered.
They were occasioned not by Emancipation, but by the base attempt to fasten the chains of slavery on the limbs of liberated slaves.
Slavery may produce these horrible scenes if it is continued five years longer, but Emancipation never will.
