ANTI.SLAVERY MEASURES.

Infdels. Friend B. G. Gilbert feels sorry they
have been spoken of as reasonable but do not
that s the word and the right name to give Garr-
sonians Now have at times thought they were
so well agreed there might be danger Of their be-
coming sectaran, but lately find am recovering
from the shock, after seeing and hearing so much
of their disagreement A part of them say the
Bible is an Anti-Slavery document and that TO he
lieve in it and live and actin accordance with its
teachings, would put stop to Slavery and all
other wrong doing. But by far the greater
part say and believe with our learned Drs. of
Divinity, that it is proslavery book and that
man may be good man in the Bible sense, and
be a Slave owner man, Polygamist &C.
In this instance l happen to believe just as the
learned Drs. of Divinity and the majority of Anti
Slavery men and women do, and therefore | go
against The book as q whole and the learned Drs
for sustaining it, or Slavery by it, because every
man knows it to be wrong to do to another what
he would not have another do to him. ] had sup
posed AntSlavery men and women better
agreed as to the mode of attacking the enemy than
] find them to be- We have all said after John
Wesley that Slavery the'sum of all villainies,
that the United States Constitution was covenant
with Death, and an agreement with Hell. That
the government under it was murderous pratt
cal government, that all who voted in it or for its
officers were guilty of the crime and wers account
able for the consequences and its continuance. In
deed the English language has gone limpng for
words to convey the idea and the utter adherence
and execration all true Anti-Slavery men and
women have felt towards Shareholders and their
abettors this Nation They have all been
classed together by q brotherhood of man
thieves. Some may be found who really think
that by voting and sustaining the government they
can assist the Slave but none Of the Office seekers
Office holders believe that any thing can be done
by the government under the Constitution to lber-
ate the Slaves in the Slaves States, or even in Ohio

stealers, womcn-whppers, and cradle-robbcrs.
With those that brand, sarve, freeze and in every
conceivable way blot out the image of God from
one sixth part of the citzens of this Glorious Cen
federacy. The question has been asked, what
shall be done to set the slaves all liberty ?" or
true Abolitionsts will not be content with running
a few slaves to Canada.) The answer has been
invariably use Moral power for there is other
that can reach the evil, (but the sword.) Wake up
the masses to think and act rightly. Show the
legislation under the Constitution. Show the peo-
pie how lorg it will take to alter it under the
present state of representation. Show the people
that this government has subvertcd the ends for
which it professedly created, and that it ought
Of righ. to lie abolished. Show the people how the
clergy Of the country have thrust the Bible and
the religion they nculcate in the way of the Slaves
emancipation. How they have ,losed the churches
and meeting houses against those who would plead
the cause of the SaYe. How they have made
their boas. that they could liberate every slave in
the nation in one year and have not done it. How
our socalled temples of Justice and religion have
been converted into dcns of thieves. Cry aloud
and spare not till they do works meet for repent
ance. Send the Politician and the Priest to the
quarantine ground and there keep them till they
become cured of their infectious and blighting in
iuence on the mass. believe this was correct
to the question, What shall be done for the
Slavef Ihave so done in feeble way, and when
Ireceve petitions to Congress and the State Legis-
lature, with request to circulate them for sigma
lures, feel constrained to say, How can do this
abominable thing and sin against God Ye shall
not do evil that good may come. Go not to the
ungody for help, or to Egypt for horses. l have
done what could to hinder their circulation, and
to prevent their being signed by Aboltionists.
No Garrsonan can expect favors from any legis-
lative body in the United States. Then why should
they ask favors. Abolitionists Proper have de-
clared war of determination against this govern
ment and they have no right to ask quarter from
the government AS soor ask a robber by calling
him an Honorable gentlemen who robbed me of mJ
wife after ravishiny my daughte: before my eyes
and then taking them into perpetual bondage, as
Ask fayorS from Congress who are daily and hour
Nv doing the same things if not to my wife and

is lust as tad) Please Honorable gentlemen at
least hold a mock trial over Judge Kane for it
could be nothing more. Judge Kane has faithfully
discharged his duty as q member Of this confed-
eracy and il the government forsakes him now, he
has done their bidding it will only add the crime
of ingratitude to the already frighul list Please

acquainted with constitutional questions, perhaps
they will do something for you, but really do not
