The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1839-07-27

oftbe new generation in the Sabbath school
and, above ali our million tongued press Through
all these shall circulate freedoms li(e-blood. In
to every one shall be inwrought this glorious doc
trine that MAN IS MAN. The judge before
whom man is claimed as property, shall look to
the hour when he himself shall be Judged. He
shall say to himself, The foundation Of law is
JUSTICE. A law which claims man as prop
ertv is radically and palpaby unjust. Iii mock
ery, an insult, an outrage upon law. To man
can innocently obey it, nor innocenty administer
it. shall recognize no such law shall take
it for granted that all human laws consistent with
that divine law which binds me 10 love my neigh
Dor as myself The legislator shall think it his
most important work to make the laws olns coun-
try such as to encourage honesty, and pro tect the
innocent He shall use all his constitutional
functions to avert that ruin which is coming upon
the whole country through the greatest possible
perversion of law. The voter shall hold his vote
sacred to liberty. 1t shall go for no candidate
who does not honor his forehead with an anti-sa-
very frontlet; and for the best man who does so,
it@aH go. No party shall dare to put up any
other candidate, Pro-slavery shall be as fatal a
heresy at the polls as public delalcaton, or any
other contempt of law. In all the multifarious
teaching of nation which is to goUern ITSELF sa
very shall be held up in the light of republican,
Christian and human principles. Our youth shall
be kindled with a holy enthusiasm to carry those
principles triumphantly over the deadly breach in
the walls of our American BastiIle. Millions Of
tongues shall catch from this theme the eloquencc
of the heart That love of liberty which has -four
ished with the mature generation as mere pre-
judice-a prejudice brushed away by the first con-
tact with the unjust gains of oppression-shall be
imbedded in their reasoning faculties as a self
evident, fruitful, and understandable truth. Oh,
there shall be force enough in this phaanx of rising
and growing mind, this irresistible onsweep Of the
coming age, to abolish slavery an hundred times
over
And then the literature that shall grow of all
this, seeking vent in millions Of channels, disem-
bowelling whole mountains for the necessary type
metal, shall rain upon slavery "hailstones and
Goals of fire." Shame, shame, SHAME, shall be the
portion of those who will imbrate their fellow i'm
mortals. From the sermon to the novel from
the time conquerng epic TO the farce Of an hours
laughter, slavery shall get its due. There is Il
"tide" in this " literature of the world" 1t is not
yet high water But when it is, what dykes are
to turn it back?
This is the spirit and mode of action on the part
of the North which is to abolish slavery. Moth
ing else will ever do it. The Anti-Savery or
ganization only labors to produce this result Alb
olitionists saw the hope of such thing dying l.
way. They saw the pro-slavery, colonization, non
interference spirit creeping over the North-com-
ing up like the foul yermin of Egypt into the most
sacred places and poluting all that had been con-
sidered holy. They banded themselves for a res
cue. They have abored night and day to entice
argue and shame their fellow citizens into the path
Of mercy, justice and honesty. They long to put
off tho ormor, but only in victory. Let the mass
of the community move ant-slavery wise, in all
its egions, and the dreaded organization Simeon
like, will consign itself to dust and worms. God
speed The day when it shall thus be laid in the
tomb Of hstory.-lMaSS. Abo1itionist.
