Sears, at Wayland, Massachusetts
June Is, 1857 tit will be recollecteC
that the clergy were very active for
Fremont) from which we quote as fol
lows:
Out OF the present crisis there are tw,
paths that open before US. and only two =
One is through violence and revolution
When the public organism has become pos
sessed with the spirit Of evil, and is useC
chiefly Tor its work, the last remedy is t.
break it in pieces, and let right and justic

REV HENRY W. BELLOWS.
The Rev. Henry w. Bellows, o
New York, isanother political parson
who, at every election, throws off hi
his clerical robes and takes the stuml
for the Black Republicans. He deliv'
cred political sermon in 1856, which
the Black Republican. National Com
mittee adopted and circulated as Re
publican document. We quote from
it; '....' .. ......
Considered as a question Of policy, it is by
no means certain that the dissolution of the
Union would be political evil to US. The
Union is great, precarious. sacred! but-yes
we must say it!-humanity, duty, honor, re,
ligiop are greater than the Union. This
then, is the unyiel1ing ground to the Re
publican party--there is no evil possible to
the country at this crisis so great as the ex
tension Of slavery. Dreadful as lisunion is
the extension of slavery is still more dread
full. The dissolution OF the Union, however
deplorable, is, is not primarily question OF
Of conscience, but of policy. We make the
Union, and we have right to unake it if
we choose.
REV DIR. KIRK.
Hear another political parson and
Black Republican stumper, the Rev
DR.. Kirk, of Boston:
The doc,ine that negro is not a mar
and the doctrine that negro is man, have
now come to the death struggle and the nation
will heave with every convulsive struggle
of the contest. Neither will yield until the
a continent has been swept with the deluage
Of CIVIL WAR.
JAMES S. PIKE.
James S. Pike, the regular editorial
C correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
and Mr.. Lincoln's Minister to the
Netherlands, thus pithily expresses
his belief:
I have no doubt that the free and slave
States ought to seperate. The Union is not
worth supporting in connection with the
South.
EX LIEUTENANT GOV. FORD.
Take another gem from the speech
of ex-Lieutenant- Governor Ford, of
Ohio, late Republican printer of the
House of Representatives:
love the Union, but the time has come
when we must declare we love freedom bet
ter than the Union.
This is the same Ford who sur
rendered Harper's Ferry to jackson.
The following resolutions were adop-
ted by the American Anti-Slavery So
ciety, at its regular anniversary. See
N. Y. Observer, May Is, 1914:
Reso4ved, That political Union in any
form between Shareholder and free COM
munity must necessarily involve the latter in
the gulf Of slavery; therefore.
Resolved, That secession from the United
States Government is the duty OF every
Abolitionist since no one can take office, or
deposit vote under its Constitution without
bis anti slavery principles, and ren-
dering himself an abet tor to the STAKEHOLDER
in his Sin.
Resolved That fourteen years OF warfare
against the power have convinced us sthat
every act done in support ofthe American
Union rivets the chain Of the slave--that the
only exodus Of the slave to freedom, unless
it be one Of blood, must be over the present
American Church, and the grave OF the pres
ent Union.
Resolved, That the Abolitionists OF this
country should make 1t one Of the primary
obj ects Of this agitation, to dissolve the a
merican Union.
"Acts speak louder than words"
says the old proverb. Let US see,
then, how their "acts' tally with their
words. On the 1st of February 1850,
Senator Hale presented two petitions
from Isaac Jeffries and other citizens
of Pennsylvania, and John 7. Wood
ward and others that ''some plan might
be devised for the dissolution of the
American Union" Mr.. Webster, of
Massachusetts, was unsparing in his
denunciatiens of the petitions, and
suggested that there should have been
a preamble to them in these words:
Gentlemen, members Of Congress, where's
as at the commencement OF the session you
and each Of 5ou took your solemn oaths, in
the presence of God, and on the Holy Evans
gelists, that you would support the Constitr
ution ofthe United States; now, therefore,
we pray you to take immediate steps to
break up the Union, and overthrow the Con-
stitution as soon as you can.
But it received three votes, and onN
ly three, being the votes of every
Black Republican Senator then in the
Senate, to wit: laa
John ?. Hale, of New Hampshire,
VIM. II, Seward, of New York, and
Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio. See Sen
ate journal, 1st session, 31st Congress
