your neighbor as YOURSELF You roll again
my imperative Injunction TO all the creatures
l had made, Search the scriptures, for in
them ye think We have eternal life, and they
are they that testify Of me vet, by your
own human laws, you set aside this my
command, and said, even in regard to cno-
sixth Ct your counirymen, that, should they
presume to obey me in this particular, the
heaviest penalties should be the result, even
death, if they persisted; though you read
agaia, Thou shalt not kill and again,
whether il be right 10 obey God rather than
man, Judge ye." You learned again the du-
ty mado obligatory upon parents in tho fol-
lowing command, Train up your children in
the nurture and admonition Of the Lord /;
and you prevented one-sixth Of all The pa
rents in your land from obeying this COM
mand, by tearing the parent from the child,
the child FROM the parent-IegHiHIa'e results
of your first DAIrNlNa sin in converting man
into property. Y0u learned that on Slnia's
bufllH- lllt'sIL W 10 u~lA'th"AI N' wv iNNh'
Thou shalt not commit adultery ; yet, by
your laws, civil as well as ecclesiastical, you
endorsed tie violation Of this command as
right; and the priest who performed the SOL
m rite, and said, Those whom God hath
joined together let no man put aaundor,' did
again unite to Oiders those thus Joined, vet
severed by the operations Of your laws; for
your ecclesiastical bodies had said that SEP
araiion by death would be no more voluntary
than separation in The manner above referred
to; hurco We deem it no violation Of the
scripture rule, that persons 50 separated
should again marry, the same as though the
separation had been by DEATH
You learned that I knew all who did the
will Of my Father who was in heaven by
the cndearing title Of mother and sister and
brother and that lit ID enough that the ser
want be as his Lord yet you created your
pews,' and your 'coiored communion,
and other i%nvilious distinctions among Que
another, knowing, too, that 'inlsmuch as
yo did it unto ono Of the least of these my
brethren ye did it unto me- and so, too, in
the person Of my follower you sold me, now
your Judge, with swine in the market.
You were familiar with the principles upon
which you were to be judged At the great day
TO which YOU have approached, viz; that
you should be acquitted or condemned accor-
ding as you had ministcred or refused to
minister to those in want, yet you saw three
million Of your neighbors sick from incos-
SAINT labor and hard driving on tho cotton
plantations and ia the rico swamps Of your
boosted America and you visited them not
You built prisons in the District Of Colum-
bia, in which you incarcerated many and of
course, 'camo not unto them ; nay, you even
voted for those who would oppose those who
had a wish 10 come unto them They
were San hungered,' being stinted to one
peck Of corn per week, and you said 1T is an
abolition Tie they fare better than the poor
people at the North and SO gave them no
meat Many were strangers fleeing from
tho hand of the spoiler, ard, so fur from ia
king them in you stood oath bound that you
would deliver up every one of them ION
the claim of the party from whom they had
escaped, though the bible said, thou shalt
not in any wise deliver unto his master the
servant that has escaped from his master
unto thee Many were naked and you
clothed them not ; for you said, i have no
voice in the affairs of the South though it
was the admission Of those who were the
direct spoilers Of their fellows, that, to you,
chiefly, were they indebted for the security
Of their property in men--that those persons
'were ready to rally at the first tap Of the
drum, but FOR the consciousness that a ten
fold force at the North were ready t. pounce
upon them a1d execute summary vengeance
for their rashness and folly Aud now, hav.
ing found you guilty, by every principle by
which you were to be judged, ! have only to
pronounce the sentence, Depart, &c.
Ana those who thus do the denominations
above named, and voluntarily support this
wicked union, by which they are perpetra-
ted, shall go away into everlasting punish
ment;' but those who come out from this,
as well as all other sins, unto life eternal
L. +. CURTIS.
