However, I am willing to hear what you can produce from Scripture in favor of any kind of slavery.
God knows I detest slavery but it is an existing evil, and we must endure it and give it such protection as is guaranteed by the Constitution.

Slavery is malignantly aristocratic.
Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave.
