that tax payers in the vicinity of Emporia attend

perhaps, saving something for themselves, and

LETTER PROM A MEMBER OF THE ASSEM-
BLY, OF VIRGINIA TO EDWARD T. sTABLER-
HANOVER, Jan. l9, lT73-
DEAR Sir: I take this opportunity to
acknowledge the receipt Of Anthony Bene-
zet's book against the slave-trade. i thank
you for it. Is it not little surprising
that hristianity-whose chief excellence
consists in softening the human heart, in
cherishing and Improving Its finer feelings
should encourage practice so totally
repugnant to the first impressions of
right and wrong. What adds to the
wonder is, that this nbominable practice
has been introduced in the most enlighte-
ned ages Times that seem to have pre-
tensions to boast of high Improvements in
arts, sciences and refined morality, have
brought into general use and guarded by
many laws, a species Of usurpatiOn and
tyranny, which our more rude and barba-
rous, but more honest, ancestors detested.
Is it not amazing that, at time when
the rights of humanity are defined and
understood with precision, in a country
above all others fond of liberty, In such
an age and such country, we find men
protesting religion the most humane,
mild, meek, gentle and generous, adOp-
ting principle as repugnant 70 nuHan-
ity as it is inconsistent with the Bible,
and destructive to liberty. Every think
ing honest man rejects it in speculation,
but how few in practice from cOnscien-
tious motives The world in general has
denied your people share Of its honors,
but the wise will ascribe to you Just
tribute Ofvirtuous, praise for the practice
of train of virtues among which your
disagreement to slavery will be princi-
pally ranked.
1 can not but wish well to the people
whose system initiates the example OF Him
whose life was perfect; and, believe me, l
shall honor the QualSers for their noble ef-
