enemy had sown the tares Of Slavery. The proposi-
ton was 10 pluck the tares but the Scriptures said
that should not pluck out the tSFes. lest sck
out the wheat also. Slavery an evil tree, and
brought forth no, good fruit, and must therefore hs
cut down. But let those who dwell; under that tres
have warning Of their chnger. How must the tree be
cut down By the AK laid at the root Of the tree and
the AK was the Gospel ax-of love and Kindness and

South, beware of the battle fields and those river
banks the fields at Monmouth and Cowpens, where
brave of the South and North mingled their blood
and tears for the liberty Of this country. They must
no; pepetrate their deeds the graves of Marion,
Sumpter and Morgan. and above all, near the
shades of Mount Vernon Ii would paralyZe their
arms, and they would be unable to perpetrste their
crimes with the memory of those noble
patriots before their eyes The speaker charged home
upon the press and pulpts of land, the existence
of the error which had blinded the minds Of Mr..
Brown and his eoadjutors, and who were led IN their
blindness to perpetrae their crimes. II he had any
sympathy on this subject the speaker sadt, was with
the South. Though born at the North, be was educated
nj the South, and had received nothing but kindness
from shareholders and saves. They helped him to
nav his college debts, 10 buy home for his widowed
mother, who had sacrificed all to give him an educa-
tom and he did not want his friends TO be murdered
In conclusion the speaker urged that in considering
these question: his hearers receive their instruction
from men who had an eye single and whose bodies
were luminous with gospel light.
