A QUESTION FOR A CONTINENT.

BY

HINTON ROWAN HELPER,

OF NORTH CAROLINA,

AUTHOR OF "THE IMPENDING CRISIS OF THE SOUTH.

How natural has it been to assume that the motive of those who have protested
against the extension of Slavery was an unnatural sympathy with the negro, in-
stead of what it always has really been-concern for the welfare of the White Man.
SEWARD.

Deep-rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand recollections by
the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real dis-
tinctions which Nature has made, and many other circumstances, will divide us
into parties, and produce convulsions, which will probably never end but in the
extermination of the one or the other race.
JEFFERSON.

And thou, too, Ethiopia! against thee also will I unsheathe my sword.
