SLAVERY.
The Second Eu,1-n referred to by afr. Beech
CT, was Slavery. This. he said. was but q con-
tipuation Of the former head. Sluyerv was moth
ing but dt*17vtixu4 struck in,
Slavery is nothing but q waste It begins
with oppres<n. the weak-it cnds with dcsrad-
ing and Expressing the strong. 4 slavery might
exist like the Hebrew seryitutle, where the slave
wus still j man, but l. man in the power Of 4
master. Ills owner was responsible for his ed.
ucation and tralning Us 1nan. Beside, he had
the hope Of earning his liberty. The speaker
believed this. thu only kind Of Bible slavery
if introduced in this country, would soon work
the ruin Of slarcry Us here existing Men find
their own families enough to support and edu
cate. American Shareholders would 5000 tire Of
the Bible kind Of slavery
A'siarerv. however, that sinks man below the
category If man, absorbs his whole industry,
provides nothing for his development, gives him
no place before the law, makes him in the eye
Of the law 4 thing, chattcl, with no hope Of
liberty, that even goes to the extent Of hedging
up tile door of humanity, so that they who
would, scarcely can enancipate their slaves; q
system that follows the offspring Of the slave
to the third or fourth descent-such system is
not merely 2 sin, but an orydni=ed kiaytlom Of
sin<, and yet there are good old ministers pok-
inE up and down the Old Testament to find
whether Slavery bc 4 sin or Nc. Why if this be
no, sin we may dismiss all recognition Of right
and wrong in 4 gigantic chance medley, in which
all such distinctions are, lost; But. therc,is .
penalty for this sin which if it long delays its
co1ningit is only that it may deseeud with more
ponderous bolts. Let us look at its evils:
1*t. 1t destroys, by degrading, the poor man s
capi1al, 1tork. Il Ituppresses the poor man, rllo
is always the sufferer or the rcmuperated in the
conflict Of Slavery and Liberty.
hut ssy some. slavery is in the foot (the
South, the head THE. North need not mind it.
Will tint apply to the gout? Can one say that
the gout is in his foot and will not the head
mind 1t aud the whole system suffer from it =
SiaTery makes poor mans trort his degradation.
Liberty makes it his welcome and sure means
Of advancement
end 1t corrupts manhood. It subverts the
new doctrine Of Christ. The weak are made
the prey Of the strong. Slavery tends to re-
store the old and pagan distinctions Of caste
and nutiun. Christianity says AL men are
brothers. Slugcry says nn men are brothers
but white 'nc,l, and the blacks are born to bear
their burdens. Our nation is . lighthouse at
the tul. i dungeon beneath. Over the hold Of
tho slave ship loats tile symbol Of the noblest
uttpranccs Uf liberty.
Sd. 1t destroys tic sympathy TINT should e1-
ist between the upper and lower strata Of socic-
~. God intended this sympathy TO be . natu-
raj principle, In society the top may be repro
the injured limbs of the tree. tor in the lower
exist tue clcsents out IF which spriug the other.
Both are necessary. God intended there should
BE- root and trunk and branch and leaves.
Suppose i tree in fn1l toiiase should weary
and Lc ashamed Of connection with its lower
parts, its root, and should ask q woodman to
serer the connection: In a1s hour or two the
result of sucl. folly. When men grow rich, not
great and becpuIe refined. which means good
dea! of furniture, and fashionable, which means
pictures and Digs and horses, their first care
oftcn, is to look about how they may cut tllrm-
selves oif from thuse below them. The speaker
drew = telling. sketch Of the duties dcyolyeed
upun those in high stations aud grades in socie-
ty i'll their Relations IL the lower orders Of that
society. IN s!asery society is para'yzed at the
basct and the top is thus in II fUrtuitous and Gc-
titions condition.
A Third Rus4lsn Of society is war. The his
tory 1T this globe is mystery Of violence, md
blood. One organic characteristic seems uni
rersal, the eating uf one another up. The sea
j. vast slaughter house. The little eg!; grows,
tieve1npts. bursts into animal life only ~ sail
int" the mouth If waiting appetite, which de-
vourcr is itself dcvourcd. And this was na~
tural and God ,fvtM lie made teeth and paws
for violence. 4 humane liun would violate the
'aws Of his being. \ tiger should he brcome i

vatiuH.
