Can doubt exist in the mind of any
person, in relation TO the cause of the ex-
isling war? Is it not desire and deter
mination on the part of the South, TO main
tain and extend their pc; institution? Has
not every rebel gun been aimed at free
dom Are not the rebel lines extended to
guard slavery, " TIE sum Of all villainies y?
Have not the stars and stripes been tram
pied in the dust by the dark spirit of tyr
amy. and the palmetto run up, to adver-
tise the friends of universal liberty, that in
seceSSta, men, women, and children shall be
herded as the brute, and made victims of
the base passions of inhuman monsters
And yet we are told by those who are in
deep sympathy with unpaid toll, the servi-
tude, not only of the native African, but
the African Americanized, that the insulted
spirit Of liberty, the sons and daughters of
the North, the interests of enslaved millions,

mess to interfere NTH slarery. No business
to interfere with the cause Of all this sacri-
flee of property and Of valuable lives. No
business TO interfere with caealiers who sport
with the toll and suflerings Of slaves. No
business to listen 10 the wailing of millions,
and TO hasten to break their bondage. No
business to carry the Gospel of our Christ
TO the poor bondman. Not only say this,
aye, more, we have heard il said right here
in true Vermont, whose brave sons have
gone forth at the call Of freedom and OPP
pressed humanity, lie haze said that are

of oar country. should be slain By rebel
hands," Oh degeneracy! What solicitudc
for the perpetuity of that institution which
is founded in fraud, cupidity and licentious-
ness. What deep maIigniiy towards
those who believe that all have right to 4
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
As well might it be said we have no right !
to resist the ty:ant. But permit the slave
hunter with his baying hounds, to pollute
our free soil with his accursed tread. As
well might il be said, that the North should
allow ayarce and the blacklist depravity to
have the peaceabe possession of miIlons-of
fellow beings whose natures are susceptible
OF civil, social, and religious enjoyment, and
whose intelligence, if let loose from the de-
generate tendencies of oppression, would
often equal that Of the free born and free
educated.
Let those who deny the humanity and IN
ielligence of slaves, ask the Rev. L. c.
Lockwood who has recently been sent by
the American Missionary Society to For
tress Monroe, if the eighteen hundred con.
trabands are worthy the name Of men, wo-
men and children. Ask Chaplain Jones
how his language is to be construed, when
he says, That a more interesting field Of
missionary 'rork ,oas nerer opened to the
Christian public" What missionary
field among brutes? How does President
Lord, or any other hater Of anti-slavery,
interpret the language of the Chaplain?

side, define the manner in which the rebel
