In ~ha. hsve said. I also fully agree
with Christ when he ssyE 'As who takes
the sword, shall parish y it. but differ
with many expousdsrs sf this passage:
inshor with all those whe contend that
il represents but one idea and tha. no, =
6gurativs one. take this expression Of
the Saviour's 70 b . grand allegory de-.
claring the profound truth, tha. he who
eommi.sssh sin shall perish BY il, or in
ether words suffer ito seqssnces. which
consequences consist in the demand Of
ss.lsiassion BY the part u the organiza.
.ien At the sacrifice Of whsss graf fcation
it was committed. The neglect then OF
properly exercising all parts Of our or
ganiza,lon within the sphere which our
grea. Architect gave them, and within
which he not only intsnds bu. command
ed they should be exercised, is slavery
within my meaning, as welt as the chat
tie slavery in Southern States. and | add
farther, without fear Of contradiction ,tha,

is always the product of the former; the
former may exist w,hou, the latter, but
the latter never can exist without the fer

alike in the eye Of Revelation, Reason
Justice and Nature. But enough of this
l have now,with aim at being understood

and have in so doing unavoidably alluded
to the causes; /, therefore, with brcvity
in the second place shall simply ask a
few questions and give corresponding
answers relative TO this part Of the sub.

desires are either Unborn or cultivated by

will be the result OF the Irregular, unjus

qualification they were committed. These
wicked and unjus. practices continue un'
