Excerpt from Genius of Universal Emancipation, Vol. 13: July, 1833 His neighbor soon told him, that he was not astonished at his trouble - Charley, said he, is a. Slave - he feels himself unjustly oppressed; he sees his friends around him engaged in the same kind of work, and receiving the customary wages supporting their families comfortably and happily; while he is doomed to drag on day after day, with out the hope oi reward, with nothing around him' to cheer and enliven him. The fault, my friend, is your own; you have, by the cruel act of extorting from him, the work of his hands without. Reward, dried up every source of his enjoyment; you have taken from him every motive to action - he feels that he is a slave. Manumit him, and I will pro mise, that your difficulties will cease. At this the master hesitated. W'ell, said he, I must confess there is some truth in what you say - and if Charley does not improve soon, I really think I must take your advice - though Charley is worth a good deal of money, I dont like to part with him.
