that there are in the whole great numbers
OF. the white population at the South who
are waking up to the subject, and many
Of them are aiding and abetting the work
of escape.
On this point I have an interesting
anecdote from the mouth of one who has
recently loosened the bands from his own
neck, and let himself go from oppression.
He was taken from Virginia three days
journey on towards AIabama,-when he
began to suspect that ali was not going
right, he therefore made his escape and
returned to the region of his former resi-
dence, where he found friends enough to
aid him in concealment. by the way,
he is manlfestly one Of those persons who
will always have friends, be he where he
WILL He was informed, from time 10
time, that there were advertisements out
for him, offering high rewards. Even
an officer who was employed expressly 10
find and arrest him, came to him and
conversed with him on the subject but
refused to do the diabolical work of ar
resting hinl
While such state of feeling is evil
IDENTIFY growing, who will be made to
believe that the condition Of the slave is
growing worse ?
In connection with this subject, it NAV
be Just.fiab'e to address single argument
to the base feelings Of those at the North
who indulge in wicked and unnatural
prejudice against the color that it hath
pleased God to give portion of our feI-
low beings. l am not much in favor or
IN the practice Of using sucn arguments.
throw out this one for what it is worth.
1t certainly has the utmost foundation in
fact. 1t IS this:-While slavery contin-
ues' the North will be filled up more and
more with the colored population from
the South So that those at the North
who would keep the races separate"-
as they say-shouId set themselves dill
gently and efficiently at work, immedi-
a'ely, to abolish slavery. 1t Is slavery
| II
that mixes the white and colored popula-
ton at the South. It is slavery that drives
the colored population from the South to
the North. 1t is only emancipation that
can reverse this order Of things. Abol-
lSh slavery, and the laws of nature will
resume their operations at the South
Abolish slavery, and those who have been
driven by it away from home and friends.
Will have every inducement to return
L have recent Y questioned several who
have fled from bondage, and they are
uniform in stating that they should return
to the South if it were not for slavery
that they came to the North to get away
from sIavery-and that if slavery were
abolished they should return forthwith.
Let it be distinctly understood that the
argument contained in this last paragraph
IS made out and brought forward only for
those who will not entertain better one
those who have too little Of chrixti,o;+,,
and philanthropy to be moved by argu-
ments more christian and phianthrOpic.

Who are the true Christians ?

The Thanksgiving discourse which |
heard, had for its subject-he present
state and prospects Of Christianity in the
a00rId q cause for thanksgiving to God.
L am not about to undertake an abstract
OF the sermon--much less general re-
view OF it. There were one or two par
ucuIar things in it which | shall take the
liberty to touch, for the sake Of the ideas
they suggested to my own mind
The speaker, among other things,
d"elt at some length on the reforms of
the day as being the results and legitimate
fruits Of Christianity. He instanced.
more particularly, Temperance, Anti
SI@Very' and Moral Reform, 50 called
especially the latter two.
Now an idea which struck me verv
forcibIy was this II these reformations
are the legitimate fruits of true Chris
t'0"'ty, wh0 are they aoho haze manifested
thr spirit Of true Chr;stianity-those aoho
haze performed the acork that has pro-
d@ced these reformations, or those vho
haze opposed tie aoork2- they a0ho haze
borne tie tr~it-or they qoho haze la5ored
to blast ii? In other words, aoho are the
true chTlst5Gns-tAey aoho haze performed
this christian aoork, or they qoho haze op-
posed II?
L have used emphatic language TO ex-
press this idea, because | esteem it to be
an idea of no trivial or common Import
ance. 1t will be seen that fearful issue
IS presented. An issue which, sooner or
later must be met. call earth and Heav
en- to witness that the most formidable
opponents and enemies of these great
christian refo1mations have been found in
the ranks of the protested christian church
and ministry! 1t will be an idle AMI vain
thing to pretend that these have desired
the ends, while they have deprecated and
abJured the means. What single thing
have they done for the accomplishment Of
the desired work2 Have they lifted a
finger otherwise than to oppose what has
been done? And yet the reformation
under God, has gone on and prospered in
spite OF their opposition. Let then, those
who oppose, see to it-"lest they be found
fighting against God.'
