SUMPTION by what superhuRan form transacted,
under what spell Of internal incaniauOn, laying the
sense the reason the COINCIDENCE Of the people asleep
20 that ev could oOnsent 70 such change and corup-
ton Of the charter OF their right. BY what horrible
mesuerism q Satan do you stand a. man gazing mo-
tiCness With staring eyes, pardyzed, not HORNED,
but nsensible while the ssassn entefs your dwelling,
carries away your gold, murders your household, aud
leaves you uIder such lunacy such spell OF mad

Won walk about and labor 10 convince yourself and
others that this is all politically right If agreeable 70
The articles in your charter, II vested right OF cons

This is the assumption cooy made, even by profess
eddy An-Sayery polit.tiOns who DO not serupo 10 az
firm that the protection Of property 10 slaves property
in man. is tie business and proper work OF the Constr
tuition and that il the Fugitive Slave law were re.
Iealed they would 20 in for another and for any ana
al laws that Congress might pass, sanehonng ana De-
Tending property in This "a treason 10 trutn GOn
cur country and our couutrys freedom, that if rightly
visited would place the authors and supporters OF IT,
beneath the condemnation appointed for II IN the word
OF God. Nothing can be more monstrous more afro
eous than the foistng in of such claim and sanction
OF property in human beimgs into the Constitution o.
our freedom when not only is no possibility OF sue
claim referred to, even by intiDation but the thing ~
not even named, is not a subject within the whole
instrument and the whole aim spirit purpose and doc
trne OF the whole are against IT. rendering II impos-
sible
1t il a forgery, an infinite fraud boundless rascal
~ more wicked more pernicious than per.
petated in any nation under heaven. There IL cas-,
10 law, a case Of pretended right 10 make property,
now pending in New-York between the State and tne
city the possession Of water lots, filled in along
the shores of the barbor There was contract con-
yeying all the land, many years ago, TO the city
within the lOw-Water mark. Since that day the
city has gone swelling and extending by made
land far beyond the then low-water mark and now
the State claims, and Justly claims, title to all the
property thus created by tho city, outside the original
water line. There stands, pictured, in this very
orr Constitution and the made land Of Satan ntruded
upon beyond the water line, beyond the line Of right
and justice, and liberty. There is the lne-low Tide,
low-water mark no Slavery, no property in man on
this side the lard side, and no authority whatever
the other side step beyond the bond--Ser'ucc due
il the lowest water mark. But beyond this in bound
less forgery and vlainy in assumptions of wrong, in
extension of seeming right into Infinite wrong; your
slave power Olgsrchy miniOns have filled IN with all
the elements Of corruption brought and dumped by
paid scaveDgers the water lots OF the Constitutions
with the whole paraphernala OF Slavery, DOCKS,
wharyes, iaile, warehouses Of Slavery, bastilles,
chains, bloodhounds, marshals; here the Fugitive
Slave Bill there the bred Scott decision, till the made
land of despotsm governs changes destroys the whole
channel and nothing but injustice prevails
Now it is the duty Of your State, Of each sovereign
Free State to step in and say TO these invaders these
sonatters on the premises Of liberty, away with you
and your encroacbments Take back your structures,
your made land Of Satan, within your own low-water
line or give them up TO the possession and use OF Free
dom and Justice. We hold you 10 the bond. If you
can make Slavery out of seTgice dae If You can find
or make one ioa of sanction for the claim of property
in man, show your authority in Gods name. 1t
must be as plain as the sun IN these heav-
ems The thing claimed must be written out
in full, Property IN Mas. But you not
only have no shadow Of such claim no ntimaton look
ing that way, mention, nor DESCRIPTION OF the state
of Slavery or Of such possibility under heaven as
that of property in man. but in fact there civil
zed government or nation under heaven, at the time
when your Constitution framed, where any states
man of any party or character or grade, would nave
dared TO put INTO the governmental instrument OF a
civilized State TIE proposition or sanction Of sUch
crime against God and nan, or the possibility OF ad-
hitting il. And any set Of men who might have ven
tured such insult against humanity and religion az
the came time pretending TO believe and openly ana
soleunly announcing that all men born free and
EQUAL and are endowed with inaenable rights, such
as life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, would
have been scorned by the whole world; such set OF
men could not have published would not have dared
10 publish any svowa of the possibility Of any constr
tutona sanction Of property IN man, In the lace OF the
scorn and Indignation that would everywhere nave
met them.
Now the providence of God has upset all mans cal
citations And most remarkable thing II ia, that just
when the doctrines Of the lnvolabty and saeredncso
of slave property had reached their eliminating point
v,
zeal truism that there could be right of intervention
against the wrong of human Slavery where 1t already
exists but only the right OF endeav0rng 70 prevent us
extension; when some politicians even IN the only
party in the country imagined to possess any remnant
of conscience or of principle setting up defense
Of the rights of the South to undisurbed possession OF
their millions Of slaves, q vested interest and right,
not to be meddled with that just at this Juncture, too
should have shot John Brown out OF the cannon OF ms
providence right into the bosom Of that vested inter-
hot him a9a H.,
theories of politicians to the winds and setting all men
to a discussion, not merely oil the night OF the
slaves themselves TO assert their own freedom OUT OF
the right and duty of all good men to help them to II,
in any and every Just way that God puts IN their
power There is no stopping this discussion, when II
pleases God that it should come And II the fountains
of the great deep of human rights are broken up here
as in the French Revolution, as VAIN 10 speak
10 the wbirlwind as expect 10 restrain command
the blowing Of such hurricane What God has done
il but q warning Of what he viii do. The apparlton
of John Brown before the terrified court and Iaagi-
cans of our American Egypt Is but az that oil Moses,
throwing down his rod TO become serpent, in COM
harrison with the deadly plaques that are TO follow
il looks indeed rs il God had begun his WORK OF
Judgment Long has he been calling in mercy. Years
of grace mighty revivas Of religion, trials OF hls
church and people, by blessings infinite, by besIowing
upon bis church and ministry such might OF numbers,
and sneh omnpotence Of spiritual power, If they had
but been faithful to him, that united against this wick
edness they could have swept i from the land, almost
as easily az the dead frogs of Egypt could have been
shoveled into the Nile when God had done with that
plague. We have waited, and watched, and longed
Tor some fruit Of the revival Of Gods work, some ap-
pcation Of this spiritual power in efforts for the de-
tyerance of the ensaved. We see il only in more
deadly sulen ominous indifference and silence along
with The revival Of the foreign slsve-trsde There
not only no purpose after every baptism OF grace
and mercy 20 ourselves to exercise mercy TO oter OF
labor for the deveranee Of the oppressed but thse Is
in many quarters, deeper, deader, more ter1bf oP'
presson The Churches and the ministry refuse 10
sneak out in behalf OF the enslayed but still very
generally demand silence and denounce the agitation
of the subject. The Free States pass new black hws
