nois, since their admission into the union ; but with our present impressions, vc ate coiutudurd to say, that slavery cannot be legally admitted among us, without the consent of the national government ; ami ve cannot suppress our fears that an at tempt to obtain that consent might endanger the union of these stales, light the totch of civil discord, and render them " frightful with desolation M
2d. Slavery is unjust, because it is a
gross usurpation over a part of our fellow
beings for our interest and convenience,
and not theirs. An Usurpation, whotc pro
hibition is written by the finger of God, upon all his works, Unjust because it is appropriating the fruits ol their labor to feed our mouths Unjust, because it is sinking them in mental degradation, to
suppoi t us in indolence and ease. Unjust,
because it is extinguishing m their bo
soms, the love of country, the strongest
incentive to worthy actions ; for, in the
language of the illustrious Jefferson, 4k II a slave can nave a country in this world,
it would be in any other in preference to that in w hich he is born, to live and labor
for another ; in which he must lock up
the faculties of his nature ; contribute as
far as depends upon his individual endea
vors, to the cvanishmcnt of the human
race, or entail his own miserable conditi
on on the endless generations proceeding
from him. It woti.d be pre eminently
unjust for the people of Illinois, because
they have not the plea ol necessity to jus
tify them. In the slave holding states it
is justified on that ground. They say
they have slaves and know not how to get
rid of them We have them not, Sc know
how to do without them. Is there a corner of the christian world, where it is at
tempted to justify slavery as an abstract
right: What a strange spectacle would
be presented to the civilized world, to
sec the people of Illinois, yet innocent of
this great national sin, and in the full en joymenl of all the blessings of free gov
eminent, sitting dow u in solemn conven
tion to deliberate and determine whether
they should introduce among them a por
tion ol their fellow beings, to be cut off
from those blessings, to be loaded with
the chain of bondage, and rendered una
ble to leave any other legacy to their pos
terity, than the inheritance of their own
servitude! I he wise and the good of all
nations would blush at our political dc pravity Our piofcssions of republican
ism and equal freedom would incur the derision of despots, and the scorn and re
proach of tyrants We should write the
epit.tph of free government upon its
tombstone i

vKi u is inexpedient, nccausc it win
retard the prosperity of ourstate for years
to come lvnigntion imoit will cease
from every quarter. From the slave hol
ding states because it wih be a long time
before there will be any dec sion of the
national courts upon the effect of the or
dmaneo ; and no man from those states
wiii venture hither w ith his slaves so long
as he may incur the risk of losing them.
There will be no emurration from the o-
ther states, because tnc people of those states will not take up their abode where
slavery is tolerated It is inexpedient, be
cause slavery is not essential to the growth and piosperity of a country ; and of the truth of this remark, the states of Ky O iio furnish speaking evidence. In the name of the unborn millions who will rise up after us, and call us blessed or accursed, according to our deeds in the name of the injured sons of Africa, whose claims to equal rights with their fellow men will pitad their own catiac against their usurpers before the tribunal of eternal justice, wc conjuic )ou fellow citizens; to ponder upon these tilings.
