DR.. Bailey once truly said:
"New movements in the world of mind
and morals, must produce and form their own
men, who in their turn become representa-
tives of a new order of things, to innovation
upon which they will be as much opposed,
as are the leaders of the existing state of So
ciety opposed TO present innovation.
1t is the race, not the indiuidudE, that is in
definitely progressive"
In what age, we would ask, have the lead
ers of reform come from among the leading
influences? 1t is from the people that they
have come up, and it is to the people that re-
formers must carry their cause.
The Quakers first appeared as reformers.
They were Observation-Disclosures. They dis
,urbed the wicked slumbers of oppressors,
both in church and state. They once bore a
strong testimony against slavery, but as time
rolled along, the succeeding generations would
look back; and, as the Jews Of old had Abra-
ham for their father, so the Quakers, referring
to what ancient Friends had been and done,
would pride themselves with being their de-
scendants, and arrogate TO themselves their
~ wv - " w
ties" and the question of immediate emanci-
patton was sprung upon the people; more
light was shed upon the subject Of our rela-
tions TO slavery it was shown that even the
Quakers had further duties TO Perform
When 10! it was found that they could not
be moved one step out Of the ring they ira
versed, as marked out for them by their ia
Tiers that they would 90 round and round
in the same circle, and that they were essen
tally and thoroughly conservative, and we
may safely say, that greater hostility has no.
where been met with to the Anti-slavery en-.
terprise, which is based upon the principles
of immediate emancipation, than among the
leading influences in the Quaker sect.
We do not find any Of the large denomina.
tons of protested Christians in this country
taking Anti-slavery ground, though the peo
pie are in some instances moved. Some
have seeded from their churches, and taker
Anti-slayery ground, or established otheI
churches upon Anti-slavery principles.
We mustlook to the people to rescue chris
tianity from the reproach cast upon it by slave
holding churches, and professors; we mus
look to the people to desert those rotten fab
RIGS, those foolish works of foolish builders,
stained with the blood of the slave. W.
must look TO the people to leave those bro
therhoods Of thieves, where men-stealers are
ordained ministers and sent forth to preach
not the Gospel of Christ, but a slaveholdins
religion. We must look TO the people to vim
dictate Christianity, and build up the churcl
4 of Christ, where the gospel will be preached
q to the poor, where teachers will preach de
| l%iverance to the captive, the restoring of sigh
to the blind, the setting at liberty them tina
s are bruised. If we look to the leading infu
ences-the ID. d., the Right Rer., we viii
o look in vain. Neither can we look to on
: colleges to send forth a benign reforming in
6 fluence.
Among the ministry in Northern Ohio, VIII,
e are they who stand fearlessly forth and OF
t the principle of No union with SHAREHOLDERS
plead the cause of the slavel They are no
: your d. DIS or the professors in your colleges
: but they are such men as Elder Caleb Green
who is constantly and iercely assaulted by
the Baptist church, such men as ]. w. Walk,
er, who meets with violent opposition from
