Trang 501 - Were it not then, that I am principled agt. selling negroes, as you would do cattle at a market, I would not, in twelve months from this date, be possessed of one as a slave. — I shall be happily mistaken, if they are not found to be a very troublesome species of property ere many years pass over our heads...
