Christianity" says ~ dc TocaueTille, s'fs
religion Of free men; neither its detractors
nor its false friends can take away from It this
truly divine character" And besides aboli-
tlonism considered as a party there is an ab5li-
,tioniEm far deeper-that which works within
the abolitionism OF Jesus Christ. Open the
books of an honest man like Tacitus, and
compare the sentiments therein expressed
with those which prevail to day; measure the
distance which exists between our tunes aud
those when sIares, tortured to death to ans
Wer ..que6tions concerning their masters,
moved 10 pity no soul, however generous;
compare, and yon will soon acknowledge
what the work Of the gospel is. To abolish
white must first be changed, and who could
Wcrk TINT mir1cle excepting that One who
died for both white and bElck, who opened
wide the doors OF the same paternal mansion
to both the black and the whlte2 More force
Ti1l always be stronger than brutal.

It should be remembered that in France the
word *sabolitionism" has not been spattercd
with the low abuse It has received here, and
therefore does not grouse any feeling Of pre-
jndlce; SO some Of the phrases in this extract,
which read almost irTeyerential in our Ian,
guage, are not so in the original.
