the conscience OF what is due 10 every man az man
having the same Divine origin and the same DIVINE
destiny with all oil er men, is becoming pretera aiuray
quckentd in our bosOms, and woe beude the chu ch :
betde the Stale that ventures To say TO ina con-
science, thus far sha thou 90, and no futhef SiaV
err as this incredible audeity Slavery, which - the
only institution Oh our Europe inheritance we nave
left modified, conironts and spits upon tis rlbg
tide of Gods rghteousnes in the soul OF man. slavery
boldly denies what all specific culture sihrns,
namely the involabe sanctiry Of human affection III
every form, the inyi0able freedom OF human DOuth'
in every direction. The cultivated intelligence of the

an obsotHte property in any, other beiig, '. e.
property unyivifed by the others uniorced,
