no man. 10 this point cite the opinon of one of the
most eminent lawyers and civilians of modern tines,
Henry Brougham. In $780, on the floor Of the House
OF Commons, and just previous to his taking the Great
Seal, while discussing the rights of the STAKEHOLDER and
the binding force Of the slave laws, he uttered the fol-
lowing sentiments, worthy from their stern Justice
lofty humanity, and glowing style, to be the epitaph
onthe tomb Of this illustrious friend Of humanity
"Te me not of rights-tall not Of the property of
the planter in his slaves. deny the right acknow-
edge not the property. The principles the feelings of
our common nature rise in rebellion against it Be
the appeal to the understanding to the heart the
sentence Is the same that rejects it. In vain you tell
me oflaws that sanction such claim. There is a law
above all the cnactments Of human codes, the same
throughout the world-the same throughout all times
such as it was before the daring genius Of Columbus
pierced the night Of ages, and opened world the
sources Of power, wealth and knowledge to another,
all unutterabe woes;such as it is at this day-it is
the law written by the niger of God on the heart of
man. and by that law, Interchangeable and eternal while
men despise fraud and oahe raphe, and abhor blood
they will reject, with Indignation the wild and guilty
phant0sy, that man can hold property in man"
But quote infinitely higher authority than this. 1t
was enacted by the Divine Legislator, 1900 years ago,
that "Whatever we would that men should do unto us
that OUGHT we to do unto them" And by this law
binding onal men, through all time, Torey stans ac
quilted and appauded tonight before the bar of the
Infinite Judge.
