disgrace the Ausiriaus 1ogeed women in

true wumnn would dare to live under all the
unspcnkuhle airorlties of American Slavery
Qoud cheers p Sir, have said that there
are triIe men, noble spirits in the Northern
States who did not witness these things un-
moved; bu. that the full guilt of the iniquity
rests on the North, no man can Doubt
When II feeling of resistance to the Fugitive
Bill hogan to show itself, who were the men
most forward to crush it? Northern Mer-
chants, Northern Editors, Northern POlifi-
cians-ayc, northern Ministers of Christ
The cry of the "Union in danger" was got
up-lic American constitution was openly
declared TO have higher claims to Obedience
ilinn Gods moral Inv, aud popular meetings
were held throughout the Union To pronounce
in favor of the Fugitive atrocily. a mass
meeting was held in the city of New York,
aud the great Daniel Webster the "Godliko
Daniel" ms he was once slylcd-wns brought
there for the occasion. In his speech to the
New Workers, Mr.. Webster, while consider.
ing the cry for the repeal of the Fugitive
Bill, told them the President "cOnsidercd the
settlement MS liunl," mud he would "rarry il
into fall effect" Mr.. Webster continued
thus: "ThiS is n subject, gentlemen on
(which the moral sense of the community
Sought 10 receive tone aud tension. There
Sought to he stern rebuke by public opin-
'iOn, of all who would reopen this agilating
'qucslion--who would break the truce as
'tley call it-who would arm again and ere
new the wur." The New York papers tell
ms tins was received hy the audience with
applause aud cheers" Think of northern
men nplaudng when told that that is "linnl
which makes them the slave
ralchcrs of the "southcrn chivalry. 1t is
Jlten said that Slavery cannot be So bad
hiBg, for that slaves who had escaped are
glad TO GET back to bondage; il such cases
10 ever occur, il presents one of the most
Startling ftaiures Of tho vile system, that it
lctually degradcs men so low that they know
not the difference between Slavery aud free
Ion (cheers.) But these New York people
bring us new testirnuny 10 the demornliZing
nhuence OF slavery; they show that il hlunis
all tie noher feelings in those who are hui
connected with it-thut men horn
md reared in the Free North can rejoice 10
pass under the yoke of the South, aud give
loud cheers" when they are told the nian
hat snhjugatcd them that their degradation
is TO bc perpetual (cheers,) But the great
guilt OF Slavery lies at the door of the Amer
lean churches. Truly did Albert Barnes say
there is no power ont of the church that
could sustain Slavery one hour, it il were
not sustained in it' (heur.) But nearly all
the churches of the Union are stepped in It's
ministers, ollicc-bearers aud peo.
pie are alike its upholders. In every shape
you cnn find il, from the smoOlh-lOunged
purson who breaches that Slavery is mot II
'in per Sc" down to the hold denuciator of
lie "hnalic Abolitionist," with stipend paid
him from the toll of the poor slave. How
cnn the state of the American church be
better described than hy the fact that DR..
Spring, nm eminent light of the Presbyterian
,hurch, and ministers of large congregation
N New York, publicly made this declaration:
IF BY ONE PRAYER COULD FREE EVERY
