simple statement will be sufficient for our pur pose,
Convinced as we are that Slavery lie a Elm and u
crime everywhere and under all circumstances,
that all completely or connivance With it implies
moral guilt just in proportion 10 the txtent Of the
sanction given, that consequently all political and

dangerous, 1t is our endeavor TO promulgate these
sentiments, so far rs it may be in our power,
throughout the whole length aud breadth of the

in the administration of q government cemented
with the blood of slaves, or to recognize as churches
