HARM II IL ptable comment on human intelligence,
that moral question may not be safely submitted oi
investigation and decision, in faith that the CONF en,ta
ed wisdom OF great Christian nation will ultmatpl,
give just decision, and that free discussion endanpet
the safety OF its institutions If it be right 10 held
slaves, we believe American slavery will continue i
be ,erong, il will be shown all to be so by tins Sc
we're investigation, and il will infalbly fall And
where in the wide world can an arena be found so a.
vorabe. both by geographical proxlm and the intel.
ligence of the population, on which to commence the
south and shake foundation as in free hap.
py, powerful New England
Besides, who is so capable as is New Engnd to
render an impartial decsionl Though we plead ior
our right 10 discuss the question Of slavery, and would
give 1t unlimited lcenCe, vet we would held those who
avail themselves of the privilege accountable at the bal
Of public opinion for the they make of IT, +. c
cannot hold those fanatics, who for marching tn
greater adherence than we do he cannot rcpuda
every weapon that Of calm fair and dispassiona
argument sincerely nor wish success to Il
cause of Right more earnestly than we do. But
deny the right of The north discuss that any oh
point, zoe WW not submit 10 A.; and to deny the ulma
beneficial effect of northern interference, regard
strangely inconsistent both with facts and with VIII
may be expected to result from efforts when made
so inconcevable Of mind is engaged IN
at the north. On the abstract question OF slavery v
have sufficiently indicated sentiments during tn
past year, and there is necessity OF repeating the
here.
! (3) No No more threats and maedicIoT
drive the genius of northern liberty to mnzze
mouth when they choose TO open ii for the eau
OF Liberty. Gaging petitions in Congress will neS
prevent their presentation, neither will resolutions
to consider them put the subject of those petitions
rest in the minds of those who choose 10 think 40
as for coercive measures said 10 he advocated BY
abolioniss, we suspect they only exist in the minC
Of those who have been accustomed to associate the
with The term abotioDism with no better evidence
which TO rest them than the insane ranng OF some he
headed tinerant abolition lecturer, whose inrempera
expressions are not approved by the society to VIII
he ostenslbly belongs, and for which the society Is
no wise accountable Note how often many Of h
class are silenced and their abominablo resouuo
voted down in abolition meetings, and tell Us lfi
fair TO estimate the principles Of the society by the
dicuous suffering of some fool who seems TO care
little for decency and proprety he is supposed
reality to care for the condition OF the slave.

to show their philanthropy it would be 10 manumil the
slaves, and employ them hired Mrs!
