I Am A Plain Man, And I

True Liberty Acknowledges And Defends The Equal Rights Of All Men, And All Nations.

I Welcomed The Organization Of The Anti-slavery Society.

When A Good Man Lends Himself To The Advocacy Of Slavery, He Must, At Least For A Time, Feel Himself To Be Any Where But At Home, Amongst His New Thoughts, Doctrines, And Modes Of Reasoning.

I Do Not Object To The Construction Of Rail Roads And Canals.

Our Concern, However, Is With Slavery As It Is, And Not With Any Theory Of It.
