The columns of the Daily Globe teemed with fierce and fiery denunciations of all who would not bow to the behests of pro-slavery power.
The assertion is frequently made, that white men cannot work in the hot latitudes of the South, and this is offered as a reason why there should be black slaves there.
It will not be conceived, from these observations, that it is my wish to hold these unhappy people (negroes) in slavery.
Slavery is detested; we feel its fatal effects; we deplore it with all the pity of humanity.
