campaign, be 1t long or short. l little un-
derstood at the time the strength of the foe
with which had made war-how many
strong Observation-Disclosures and converts, it

a s'roDg f,othold in every class Of society.
ClCihing myself with the panoply of truth
| went lOftu with the Ithureai spear and COM
menced an attack. | followed the enemy
into the wing and democratic parties, and
heard its friends crying ''this is not the
greatest deyil'-''we are choosing the least
of evils" l made no compromises fol-
lowed on and the enemy fled into the
Church, Theological schools and Ecclesilsti-
cal bodies which shut their doors upon me-
saying ''toucll not the Lords annointed;
you are going to excite and divide the
church, and destroy the ministry | made
no compromise. | followed the enemy on
into the very citadel of the government-in-
to their very frame work-and found its vi

my principle of right. | have made no COM
promise-no union with slavery-and l hear
God saying to all, ''your covenant with
death and agreement with hell shall be dis
annulled."
| was educated an orthodox congregations
alist-and to believe that every principle of
right was given to us as a rule of conduct;
and that it is the duty of all to apply these
principles to every thing and to every body,
and whI;ever would not stand the test, to
regard it as wrong and unworthy Of counte-
nance. Thus | have rigidly, conscientious
ly, and unfalteringly applied my antl-slave-
ry principles--to the people, the parties, the
church, clergy, theological and religious in
stitutions, and TO the government, and !
found their "power on the side of the OPP
pressor-while the poor slave had no COM
~forter.' | am a comeouter from the wing
and democratic parties, because they are
slaveholding. | must be without partiality
, and hypocrisy. | am a comeouter from the

|, it is ''the bulwark of American Slavery
: and God says "come OF of her, that ye par
take not of her sins and receive not of her

cause they baptisc and sanctify slavery, and
as Gerrit Smith says, as a body constitute

Liberty Party-the members Of which pro-
