ADDRESS BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK, AT THE
METROPOLITAN THEATRE, MAY 9, 1855.

The principles of true politics are those of morality enlarged; and I neither now do nor ever will admit of any other.- BURKE, Letter to the Bishop of Chester: Correspondence, Vol. I. p. 332.

True politics I look on as a part of moral philosophy, which is nothing but the art of conducting men right in society, and supporting a community amongst its neighbors.-JOHN LOCKE, Letter to the Earl of Peterborough: Life, by Lord King, Vol. I. p. 9.

Malus usus abolendus est. LAW MAXIM.

All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets. — MATTHEW, viii. 12.

You have among you many a purchased slave, Which, like your asses, and your dogs, and mules, You use in abject and in slavish parts,

Because you bought them.

SHAKESPEARE, Merchant of Venice.

From Guinea's coast pursue the lessening sail, And catch the sounds that sadden every gale. Tell, if thou canst, the sum of sorrows there; Mark the fixed gaze, the wild and frenzied glare, The racks of thought, and freezings of despair! But pause not then,- beyond the western wave, Go, view the captive bartered as a slave!
