A Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, An Essay on Slavery
Woodward, A.
Slavery -- United States; Stowe, Harriet Beecher, 1811-1896. Uncle Tom's cabin; Uncle Tom (Fictitious character)
We would then have a Southern confederacy, and a Northern confederacy;
each separate and independent of the other. The North would then have
no more control or influence over the South; nor yet the South over
the North, than England has over America, or America over England. But
what has now become of the institution of slavery in the South? There
it is, just as it was, before the dissolution of the Union was
accomplished. And the Northern portion of the Union has lost all her
control--all her influence over the South; which influence, she might
have exerted for the benefit of the slave, if the Union had not been
dissolved, and her course towards the South had been kind,
conciliatory and pacific. It is all very plain--so clear, that it
requires but a little common sense to comprehend the whole matter. It
is clear then--clear as the noon-day sun, that the object of the
leaders of the abolition party is not the abolition of slavery.
Office, is the god they worship. Elevation to office, and self
aggrandizement, is their ultimate object. If they can strengthen their
party, and agitate the subject of slavery, until they bring about a
dissolution of the Union, then Hale will be president of the Northern
confederacy, Julian, vice-president, and Giddings, I suppose, prime
minister. Would not Joshua cut a sorry figure, in that high and
responsible office! Prince John, I suppose, would be attorney general.
The little magician, John's daddy, would be thrown overboard, for no
party, I think, will ever trust him again.
