aCti0I, answered.
MEssRs EDIToRs,-Smce the Libelty party has
been organized, politicians who profess to be abolition
lists, have framed excuses for thems elves and argu-
ments for others to induce them to desist from all po-
ltcal action the subject of slavery. 1t has been
supposed that those common steetyped objections so
void Of reason would have but little weight upon the
minds Of lightened people CAPABLE of tracing causes
to their legitimate results, yet there many who do
not examine such arguments BIASED by the too COM
mon preudices of the day, to wrong conclusions.
1t is too common practice to receive as trusms all
the common place arguments, or rather objections,
raised by political demagogues against anti-sayery
tion--and when these objections are careessly re-
ceved and repeated by honest men they then become
still more liable to PISS on without examnation-bius-
sing the judgment of the just and intelligent citizen,
and perhaps fully convincing the unthnking and con-
fdng honest man, that political antslavery action is
not only wrong but actually injurious to the country
and to the slave. Since such state of things exist
would it not be proper, by your PERMISSION to seek to
answer few common place objections to political an
tslavery action 1t is proposed to do it in series Of
short articles that will not tax to great extent the pa
tience Of your readers. But to commence. 1t is u.s.
serted that "anti-sayery political action directly tends
to confirm shareholders IN their practices and to
der the condition Of the slave actually worse" 1t is
probably true that antl-savcry action at the north has
induced saveholding communities to fortfy the
system of oppession by enactng laws; and it may be
true that it has induced them to watch their slaves
with more careful jealousy thus rendering their con-
dton actually worse; yet it is believed that this does
not prove antslavery efforts to be wrong, that ult-
mately it will be an injury to the slave. When Moses
and Aaron with Divine authority, said to Pharaoh "et
my people 60" the answer was, 'they be idle" and he
directed his task masters to tell them to go get your
straw where you can find it, yet not augh Of your task
shall be diminished" and when it was impossible to
complete their task, they were beaten, and zsked
"wherefore have We not fulfilled your task in brckma
king" Even after they had expostulated with the ty
rant 'here straw given to your servants and yet
they say make brick, his answer was ye are idle, GO
therefore and work. for there shall no straw be giyer
YOU yet We shall deliver the tale of bricks" We all
see that The condition of those slaves was worse thar
PATTON and "thoy said to Moses ye have put sword
into the hand ofPharaoh to STAY u.s." Now ask, was
the action of Moses wrong? No; but the oppressor
was only to bllme andyetth judgment of Moses was
at fault, and he cried"Lord why hast thou evil en-.
treated this people; why hast thou sent p Moses
did not look at the final result and feel reconciled to
the evils which must be experienced in securing it
All can see the application. All tyrants rage wher
their authority is called in question, and this is only
the natural effect of cause that always produces the
same effect When anti-slavery influence increases
until slavery begins to totter on its throne of horrors
the deformed monster may dip his hands in GORE tear
ling hearts asunder with goating eyes, but those viii
be but the infections of woe from the rage of his dy
ing agonies and then the millions of bondmen are free
men, and their children from generation to generation
shall be Observation-Disclosures and christian
ized! Look at the RESULT is worthy to be purchas
ed by the groans and sghs of millions But it is the
free antslavery portion of community at the south whc
are destined to feel the awles hand of despotsm SomC
have already fallen martyrs, and anti-savery actor
will call out MORE "The blood of the martyrs wal
the seed of the church" and shall there arise from
