causes Wnlcn lnpel tneM 10 the separation
We hold these truths 10 be sefeyident that
all men are created cquali that they are en-.
dowed by their creator with certain unaienable
rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and
the pursuit Of happiness. That, TO secure
these rights, governments are Instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed; that, whenever any form
Of government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of the people to alter oro
abolish it, and to institute o new government,
laying its foundation on such principles, and
organizing it's powers in snch form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
governments long established, should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and,
accordingly, all experience hath shown, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are accus-
toned. But when long train of abuses and
usurpatious, pursuing invariably the same OBJ
ject, cvinces design to reduce them under alb
soute despotism, It is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such government, and TO
provide new guards for their future security
Such has been the patient sufferance Of these
colonies, and such is now the necessity which
constrains them 10 alter their former systems
of government. The history of the present
king Of Great Britain is history Of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct
object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny
over these States. To prove this, let facts be

words 20 represent Che humjEating power Of
Code grace in making sinner thoroughly
penitent. These, then, are the words the
prodigal is made to speak in speaking his
feelings Of deepest abasement and unworthi-
ness: y Make me as one of thy hired ser
wants. There is only one principle on which
this can be used as fully meeting the case.
The hired servant was the lowest and least
honorable recognized in the Hebrew law. In
asking higher place in the house than the
lowest would utterly fail to represent trus
penitence. The Hebrew bond-servant occu-
pied a more honorable place, was Of higher
rank, had higher privileges than the hired
servant. This cuts up by the roots Slavery,
which is the most degrading of ell forms Of
servitude on earth. Christ's selection offgurs
is always perfectly adapted to the end de-
signed. The prodigal had in his eye the
hnmblest place and service In his fathers
house, and this he asked. For this Christ
had ever taught, when at feasts to seek the
loweet soat. Could he, then, make q par
able but in perfect accordance with the first
principles of his own teachings? And could
he refer to the Hebrew seryitude but in &c.
cordance with the known spirit and estab-
hshed maxims Of the law?
There is one other reference in this parable
to Hebrew law which will coufirm our areu-
ment in regard to Slavery. That law recog-
nized the peculiarright of the frst-born; and
to this provision, also. Christ referred when
he makes the father say to the elder son
. Son, thou art ever with me, and al that l
have is thine. - T.. t....'.,.'. ~, -
As the former reference to the Hebrew
law was fit illustration of the deep peni-
tence Of the younger brother, so the latter
the pharisaical pride, and unforeiving and
censorious spirit Of the elder. Upon any
other hypothesis, where is the beauty, the
fitness. and the force Of the references?

DID CHRIST PREACH ANri7sLAVEhf A =
This question is now fairly before us. We
are told Christ always referred to Slavery in
respectful terms" Of course, then, He
never did say any thing which could, when
consistently Interpreted and applied, reflect
upon Slavery, or call it in question, or lead
any hearer to suspect he had emancipation
in view. "a -. ,-....,,. IT - & f.. .
The first sermon of Christ's recorded, is
in Luke ~. And according to the chron-
ology of the American Bible Society, this
sermon preached on the Sabbath, was 1--we
years before the sermon on the Mount, re-
corded Math. v. Here is his text, The
Spirit Of the Lord is upon me, because he
hath appointed me to preach the gospel to
