The laws greatly obstruct the manumission of slaves, even where the master is willing to enfranchise them.
Now the Bible is my ultimate appeal in all matters of faith and practice, and it is to this test I am anxious to bring the subject at issue between us.
My hope is, that men who denounce now, will at length reason.
The whole power of the laws is exerted to keep slaves in a state of the lowest ignorance.
