Excerpt from An Essay on Liberty and SlaveryIn this vindication, we have been careful throughout to distinguish between the abolitionists, our accusers, and the great body of the people of the North. Against these we have said nothing, and we could say nothing, since for these we entertain the most profound respect. We have only assailed those by whom we have been assailed, and we have held each and every man responsible only for what he himself has said and done. We should, indeed, despise our selves if we could be guilty of the monstrous injus tice of denouncing a whole people on account of the sayings and doings of a portion of them. We had infinitely rather sufi'er such injustice - as we have so long done - than practise it toward others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
