As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

Disunion and civil war are at hand; and yet i fear disunion and war less than compromise. we can recover from them. the free states alone, if we must go on alone, will make a glorious nation. twenty millions in the temperate zone, stretching from the atlantic to the pacific, full of vigor, industry, inventive genius, educated, and moral; increasing by immigration rapidly, and, above all, free--all free--will form a confederacy of twenty states scarcely inferior in real power to the unfortunate union of thirty-three states which we had on the first of november.

All of the ten commandments that are good were old; all that were new art foolish. if jehovah had been civilized he would have left out the commandment about keeping the sabbath, and in its place would have said: "thou shalt not enslave thy fellow-men." he would have omitted the one about swearing, and said: "the man shall have but one wife, and the woman but one husband." he would have left out the one about graven images, and in its stead would have said: "thou shalt not wage wars of extermination, and thou shalt not unsheathe the sword except in self-defence.
