The North and the South
If a Southern gentleman comes to Massachusetts with his slave, our courts have decided that the slave is free.
If a Northern gentleman goes to South Carolina with a colored waiter, by the laws of South Carolina, the waiter is taken and locked up in jail.

The Northerners are indignant at the Southerners for making their freemen slaves.
Which right, and which is wrong?
