Cydnor Tompkins: “If slave labor, then, is profitable, slaveholding is equitable.”

Take from place and power the men whose hands and faces are reeking and smoking with the blood of our people in Kansas, and put them to death.

Before you complain of the free States, arrest and punish the scoundrels who so cruelly treated the Irishman at Columbia, South Carolina, for no offence but saying that slavery was detrimental to free labor.

The great pursuits by which twenty-five million people live, are not considered worthy the attention of this Democratic party; while one hundred thousand aristocrats require its entire services.

Yet the whole power of this Government is devoted to that one object; its entire strength concentrated in one spasmodic effort to extend slavery.
