".Of every other flag that floats under heaven, you may be sure that it does not cover the traffic in human beings. Of thine, O Union! we cannot even yet say whether it is protecting a nationa's honor or a world's shame.The union is always called the Ship of State; and the figure was never so appropriate as now, when she has got out here amid the swellilng waves of the popular heart, the fresh gales of Freedom fililng her sails and snapping her flag, and all the churches and the parties seized with deadly seasickness. There is no doubt now what they've all been feeding on. The vomit is black. We find that the churches have been retaliating upon the native African's fondness for 'cold missionary,' with an equal devotion to pickled Ethiopian, and that the loaves and fishes at Washington have invariably been eaten with African sauce.".
