Bat those men do no; truly interpret

word of God of non effect through their

the Bible lend its sanction to system
that abrogates parental authority and

So also, with the ,onjugal rslasion.--
The bible everywhere presents this - the
most sacred, inviolate, and indissclSbIs
of all human relations. Father and moth
er are to be fersaken, in obedience to the
Chains of this still higher and holier re-
l.tion. Now, what docs slavery do with
this domestic institution? Leave God and
ten parties perfectly free to regulate it In
their own way? No; with impious aud

victims arc concerned There is no more
any legal marriage among the three OF
four millions of lsves in theCnited States,
tl.an there is among SO many cattle. Slaves
in the eve Of the law are cattle, aud their
union is tha. of brutes. They are de-
elared to be goods, chatscls perssnas, TO
all intents. constructions, and purposes,
whatever. The civil law which prevails
in some Of the State takes thempre NOR
tuis, pro quadrapedtb'.

that the Bible sactions slavery, called in

Absolutely, there can be nc'morc 10.
gal marriage between two slaves, than
between two articles Of furniture or rs.
tween two brutes. They take up to-
gether," they do lot marry. No clergy
inan dare pronvance two slaves man and
wife till death shall separate them. The
will of their master is their fate. The
Bible says "W hat God hath Joined to-
gcther, le. DO man pus asunscr.' Ths
slave system says: Who cares for ffod
will separate them when | please. A
slave who is church member Is taught
by his religious teachers, that i, ls his dasy,
on being sold from one plantation to
another, leaving a so-caIed wife be-
: hind, to take another mate and the
reason assigned b. these piou. Instructors
is, that in this Way he eau be most profit
, abb. 10 his insster, which is his first and
paramount duty. Thus he may be ~
good Christian, to take up with new
woman on every plantation to which he 10
, sold This has been formally so decided
: by an eclesiastical council. And yet
, these bInsphcmers seek to make God =
: partner in this revolving practice.
The Bible everywhere requires an
: equivalent to be given for services rem
dered Wo unto him that buildeth
, his house by unrlehteousncs, and his
- chambers by wrong: that useth his
, neighbours service without wages, and
glqeth him not for his work. Be-
hold the hire OF the lahorcrs who have
reaped down your ae 'ds, which by you

D baoth' Slavery never allows any wages
t at all to those who gather III its harrssts.
To say that the clothing and the food that
, the slave receives are wages, is to say
, that the hay, grain, and s,abling # tho
