. We would be willing
to save our friends for a time from temptation and care, as they
have so generously done by us; if we are to be satisfied with
things as they are, so should the slave be. He should be grateful
for the care of his master, for according to the established
price paid for labor, he does not earn enough to take care of
himself. We should be satisfied with our present license laws;
they are right, just, and good, judged by our friend's reasoning.

Mr. HOPKINS opposed with several objections, one of which was,
that private stations demand as high qualifications, and more
