This we think savors considerably Of Dis
union, and had it been uttered by VIM. LLOYD
Garrison would have called forth Kisses in
stead of applause. 1t makes all the differ
ence in the world who says a thing. Cassius
Nj. Clay yields a willing support to the gov
eminent which he says ''ought to perish,''
while Garrison acts as though he believes
what he says.
Whilst AIN not insonsible to the injuries
inflicted on the African race-the almost count

them have endured for centuries; whilst / ad-

of that injured race-still | must insist that |

Much applause.) And God has so ordered
it that You cannot trench upon anv-the hum

Too much of Anglo-Saxon pride in that
We think it quite as noble a task to labor for
the emancipation Of the negro, as for he lib
erty and independence of the whites; and
more noble than either, to toll for Humanity
at large without regard to birth or lineage,
country or complexion, tongue or kindred.

any peculiar merit for advocating emancipa-

had only to lift up my eyes and see what was
| going on around me daily, and the conviction
forced itself upon me. (Applause.) Was | am
bilious of power, Influence or popular applause?
The conviction forced itself on me that these
were much more abundant in the free States
of the Union. Was | fond of the fine arts
of painting, Of sculpture, of music, of poetry,
of ali that constitutes the embodiment of the
beautiful and true! | saw that all these ex-
listed in a much higher degree of excellence
in the free than in the Slave States! Did [
look at the subject of Education? saw that
the mind developed itself to a far greater de-
gree in the free than in the Slave Stdtes-with
the added conviction that it had always lone
and would continue so to do through all time.
(Applause.) So, that if in the course | am
pursuing, | am a madman-if ] I'M a fanatic
i do not desire to destroy those glorious
Developments Of art and science-those lux
uries of refinement, of which those who affect
20 cast such an imputation on me, claim 10 be
the exclusive conservators. (APPlause.)
A brief, but vivid contrast between the re-
suits of tree, and slave labor. The speaker
dwclt at considerable length upon this point,
and presented some statistics which We shall
perhaps give to our readers at some other
time.
] say to you, Churchmcn, who sit in the
high places Of the Sanctuary. and enter into
the inner places of the Temple, that so far as
we know anything of the Divine Nature, Sla-
very suhvorts it completely; and where Sla-
very exists, there true morality cannot exist.
There are men amongst those institutions that
| love and reverence; and, therefore, | tell
them hey stand on a sandy foundation-one
that cannot stand the test of Divine Law
and, therefore, | would have them leave, and
leave suddenly. (Applause.) 1t is true that
in some quarters the conscience may be touch
ed, but there remains still the seminal evil.
(Applause.)
! told them long before the mob of the 18th
Of August, that though there was a love OF
morality and order amongst them, yet that
the few bad spirits would concentrate and o.
verturn their good purposes. And so it will
ever be. And because | fully acknowledge
that the Church has in all ages sown the seeds
of truth, virtue, morality, therefore | invoke
all its Leaders to see if Slavery be a sin or no.
They will see that it will not siand the test.
Thus, | ask, that they warn their fellow men,
that those who hold their fellow man ia
bondage cannot belong to the Church OF
Him who said, "Do unto others as We would
others should do untoyou." (Nluch applause
with considerable hissing.)
Quite a strong dcnunciation of pro-slavery
churches. If those who hold their fellow
men in bondage cannot belong TO the church
OF Christ, can they, who knowing them to be
shareholders yet recognize them as Christ
ians, belong to that church!
At the formation of the Constitution in
l7S9,we had then fought a long and doubtful
war; aud our fathers were induced to form a
certain alliance with the South; and thus
that clause was introduced which has been
subversive Of all these principles for which
they began the war. They agreed that Sla-
very should exist in the South, until the
South chose to throw it of, in its own good
time and pleasure. This fact, it is true has
been denied by some who, in their zeal fol
freedom nave gone too far. But l regret
that any should go beyond the true principle
pr which they ought to contend, because
