whole Of il. Religion SAYS this dsin-
guished friend from whom he quotes, is an
excellent thing in every matter except
politics. Laughter. am glad to learn
that. Politics, then, is no concern of the
ministers, because there is no religion in il.
There lin politics. il seems to make men
mad. For instance, Webster? And / do
not know of any people more mad than the

present time, have no doubt that they have
aggravated every evil they have endeavored
TO mitigate or prevent If YOU tell one of
them what has been the result of his offici-
BUSINESS, he answers, Liberdpi amman

abolitionists have made the state of the slave,
and still more that of the free black much
worse than it would have been; and proba-

'In these sentences says Webster, 'my
friend means undoubtedly TO ascribe the
evils which he so truly states, Zone of the
evils being that religion has got into politcs,l
not to true and genuine religion, not to the
religion of the Gospel, but TO that fantasti-
cal notion of religion which sometimes pos
sesses mems imagirotions.' Now, / will
tell you what that fantastical religion is. Ii
is the notion that there is something of high
er obligation in morals than the Constitution
of the United States
MIR. Webster throws quite thundcrbolt
at Horace Mann. lie says, If what Mr..
Mann says of the provisions of the Consti-
tuition in this publication he test of his ac-
curacy in the understanding of that nstrI- |
ment, he would do well not to seek TO pro-
tect his peculiar notions under its sanction,
but TO appeal at once, as others do, to that
higher authority which sits enthrOned above
the Constitution and above the law He !
goes on TO ridicule the idea thnt there is any
thing above the Constitution or above the
law. And then he describes the abolition
lists.
Now let me read to you the description
that he gives of this meeting. And what is
our sin? Why, ] will tell you what has
brought upon lis this thunderbolt fiom the
godlike of Massachusetts. We have said
that it is as wrong to return Ellen Crafts 10
Georgia, as it would be for the Sultan of
Turkey TO return Kossuth back to Hungary
that if Daniel Webster could get rid of preju-
dice, he would see that the principle he so.
eloquently urged for the Hungarians is per-
Iectly applicable to the fugitive slave in Mas
sachusetts Our heresy consists in this that
we have exhorted George N. Briggs to grid
up his loins and endeayor 10 obtaii /; mo-
raj elevation which the Sultan Off key has
reached in the presence of the civilized
world; and we have exhorted the Governor,
Il hc cannot now see the Sultan, TO get the
use of a moral telescope, larger than that at :.
Cambridge, and try if he cannot, with this
enormous power of telescope vision, get ,,
sight of the Mahometan polyganist of Con- !
far up in the clear heaven, dis J
iaining TO bewray him tllat VANDERBILT as
Governors, down in this |
Slough of Despond, swear to do.
That is all we have said. We have decla- q
ed that one created in Gods image has a 3
light TO his own body, and his own wife, and I
MS own children, and that a man is a trnitor {
o God and himself alike, who, in obedience I
o any parchment, however old or useful, I
shall lay his hand on fugitive, and aid his )
master in getting him back. Is that basphe-
nous? Is it any thing that ought to be call
ed ianatical? Who longs for an opportuni-
" of aiding in a slave-hunt' The abolition
sts, as far as this letter speaks, are arraigned
as refusing to return fugitive slaves. Mr..
Webster says that the Constitution orders it.
He says he means TO do il; and that is the
reason we hate the Constitution. He says he
means TO do it; and we mean TO record that
pledge, black, upon the page of history, and
make his biOgrapher record it to his Shame,
his grave closes over him. (IIear,
lear.) lie has the Wing party and Moses
Stuart on his side; but there is grave be-
ore him, into which he is TO enter. And '
hen, when the glare of high position is gone, q
when the excitement ofpary feeling is over,
pledge and our denuuciation oft shall both
