Daily Question:
" It is the sentiment around which all their actions, all their arguments, circle, from which all their propositions radiate. They look upon it as being a moral, social and political wrong; and while they contemplate it as such, they nevertheless have due regard for its existence among us, and the difficulties of getting rid of it in may satisfactory way and to all the constitutional obligations thrown about it. Yet, having a due regard for these, they desire a policy in regard to it that looks to it not creating any more danger. They insist that it should, as far as may be, treated as a wrong; and one of the methods of treating it as a wrong is to make provision that it shall grow no larger." 

The logic of the quotation is most consistent with
A. George Fitzhugh's  1857 book, Cannibal's ALL!
