pense justice, and the proud Brahmn be prepared to
embrace his brother that is of low caste? ask was
so at the South, where the slave system has brought
to maturity Fuller, corporate members of the board
shareholders. Has not the gospel been preached
here,or part of it at least it has among the Indians
and what the fruits? Are not the slaves ais bad as
heather in any part of the world? And how does it
appear that they want slavery abolished and caste and
oppression as in the of certain rulers? Has not
Mr. Frelinghuysen justly said that he was not an alb
otionist and DR.. Armstrong too? have not the Board
said that it is right to receive the funds of slavery
into the Treasury? Has not Dr. Beecher said that sla
very was an organic sin, and exculpate individuals
from all blame Have not many of the Board iusti-
fed the system from the Bible-or tried to Have
they not admitted Shareholders to their embrace, and
virtual cooperation in the person of corporate members?
Is it not clear that they have done nothing at all tow
ards doing away slavery in this country? Whence
then these crocodile tears on account of the system in
foreign countries, if it is not to produce certain i'm
preston the minds of those who sustain their ope-
rations? There are some sticks that are hard to be
Strengthened in this word-one would think that it
would be hard to harmonic this report Is it probable
that hopeful and profound will be forthcoming
next year?
And it would not be strange that many should follow
in the wake Ct the Board-that should crnge and kiss
the great toe of the Pope And these too, protesting
to be the friends of the slave. They will read the
Herald and offer up prayers for the success of the
Board when they know that every thing that is done
to further it is only binding the cords of the slave
But they think that they must bow downto great names
1t matters not what course the Board take they think
that it is all right. They have not moral courage e.
nough to come out from pro-slavery The antsIovery
cause owes nothing to such These will be strong an
ii slavery when it will do to be. When the pop
ular tide turns they will be coming.
1t would not be strange that if all to man that are
antislavery, should abandon entirely the Board For
how can they follow in its wake. They now repent
that they ever gave single cent to the Board and
they would not have done it, had they known that it
would have gone into treasury where were gathered
the fruits of unrequted toll where was the price of
blood and that it would 90 to strengthen the hands of
the oppressor What they have done they cannot UNI
do but they renounce their allegiance to that
cety. They are bound in duty to do it. They will
do it if they true to the they have espousod
host would come out with them, if they knew the
whole truth.
There are now in this country three millions Of
slaves. Even Shareholders themselves confess that
they will bear comparison with heather in any part
of the world. The Board receives the funds of their
toll and suffering from the hand of the shareholders
and leaves them to perish What authority have they
to do this? Is there any religion in doing it? Is it
not wicked to do it? And does not the voice of con
science and of God say in accents that cannot be mis-
understood, Come out of her my people, that We be-
come not partakers of her plaques. He that is the
Lords side-he that would have an approving con
science in life and in death: he that would receive the
welcome paudit on the great and final day, Come yC
blessed of my Father, let him now come out and lie
him act for the poor and needy, let him cry aloud ant
spare not-let him break every yoke and let the op
pressed go free and Christ will say to him at the last
Inasnuch as ye have done it unto of the least
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
