expense Of The audience. Printed By Longiey

For copy Of this discourse the author has
our thanks. It was delivered on the Sunday
following the late Convention. Il gives the
authors impressions of Mr.. Garrison-of his
character and manner. II stntes the positions
OF MIR. Garrison with fairness, meets his ar
g'Iments with cnndor, aud gives with clear-
ness his own reasons for dissent aud for
adopting another course of action. The fol-
lowing is MIR. Hines summary of his views
on these points:
That the Garrisonian doctrine that our
Constitution is slavery is false, und thnt
u Is not half 81 difficult to prove IL anti-sln-
very us to make it appear pro-slavery, mud
wisdom dictates the most favorable coustruc-
ton possible.
That The words slnve, stakeholder, slavery,
muster, fugitive from slavery, or property ln
lnnii, are not found in the Constitution, aud
u Is doing violence TO any document or book
To clinrge IL with what is not expressed.
That the old Common Law rule of inter-
preinlon where Lille Or liberty is concerned,
Is to construe the terms literally in favor ol'
iie nhd freedom, taking neither where there
Is not The most explicit law for that purpose; |;
nhi when we apply this rule to the COnsti-
luton we cannot extOrt from il the least sup
port of slavery.
That another rule of construction prescri-
he'd nid adopted by the South is thnt of strict
cOnslruciion-ruising no original power
where II Is not expressly delegated, aud in
applying this rule we fnd the South utterly
esIopped 10y their own confession, aud they
cannot consistently claim any favor at Our
hands.
That as far rs the compromises of the
Constitution nre concerned, especially the
fugitive slave clause, they were thrown in us
deal of the dice, one purity believing moth
ing coul'l he made out of il, aud the other
willing TO run the risk in playing the snme-
hence II we can bring more sklllu nnti sln-
very players to the board, we Gun Nuke the
Constitution totally nnIi.slavery without do
ing any violence TO il.
Tint, with this view, we do not swear 10
support slavery when we take the Conslitu-
tionnl oath.
That n dissolution Of the Union will not
necessarily dissolve slavery, nor commerce,
aud we cannot wash our hnnds of all connec-
ton with il I'LL we fly to the caves, or emi-
CRATE to Jnpan where there is no commerce
with America.
