Be sure to restate the question in your response and use evidence from the text: According to Ellsworth, how will the institution of slavery end in America? (READ THE ARTICLE BELOW AND BE SURE TO INCLUDE EVIDENCE!!)

Let every state import what it pleases. The morality and wisdom of slavery are considerations belonging to the states themselves. What enriches one part of the Union enriches the whole, and the states are the best judges of their particular interest...I unlike Colonel Mason [who has three hundred], have never owned a slave and cannot be a judge of the effects of slavery on character. If [slavery] were to be considered in a moral light, we ought to go further and free those already in the country. Slaves multiply so fast in Virginia and Maryland that it is cheaper to raise than import them, whilst in the sickly rice swamps, foreign supplies are necessary. Let us not be unjust towards South Carolina and Georgia. Let us not meddle. As population increases, poor laborers will be so plentiful as to make slaves useless. Slavery, in time, will not be a speck in our country.
