IL is false accusation against that wish to have
anything to do with the protection Of the rights of the
blacks and have you taught cruelty and wckedness
and rebellion against the Lord and have attempted
the assassination OF the rights OF whole Of your
fellow beings in your very constitution, as
compacted bond of such wickedness. Therefore,
rule this people Because ye have said we have made
covenant with death, and with hell are ut agree
ment, when the Overlooking scoufge shall pass through
shall not come unto for have made lies our refuge
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves therefore,
thus saith the Lord Judgment will lay to the ne and
righteousness to the plummet, and the hail shall sweep
away your refugees Of lies, and the shall overflow
your hiding place. and your covenant with death shall be
dsannuled and your agreement with hell shall not stand
when the overlooking scourge shall pass through then We
shall be be trodden down by IT, Any compact with wick
edness IN agreement with hell but especially the pre-
tence of such compact, binding you TO the EXTREMIST
cruelty and injustice setting with the
declaration that il Is for the perfect establishment of
justice and Of freedom The pretence of law for such
rascality is only vast evaporation of the vainy, and
the law for such wickedness the less justice the
less sacredness, and the greater the obligation TO resist
such wckednes when 1t is taught in high places, and pre-
tended TO be sanctioned by the authority okaw for when
this the case and men, in the of God do not
sst, then everything goes rapidly to ruin; and
prophet Of the Lord declared in this very case Of old

the Lord Of Hosts had left unto us very small remnant,

like unto Gomorrah Therefore, hear the word Of the
Lord ye rulers of Sodom give unto the law Of

When yc come TO appear before me- who hath required

vain oblations Your Sabbaths and your calling of
semblies cannot away with II is iniquity even the
solemn meeting Your appointed fcass my soul hateth
And when ye spread forth your hands will hide mine
eyes from you; yea when ys make many prayers will

sword, for the mouth Of the Lord hath spoken it.
When will our country and people lay these
things TO heart? In what way, by what method Of warn
