THE Sick BRrGAND. Henry Ward
Beecher says Of slavery and the Consti-
tuition:
"You must recollect that in all stages
it was the opinion of every man who
founded the Constitution that slavery was
dying, and they did not feel as you or
would have felt, but said: Ease it up
in every way Slavery was like some
brigand brought into an Alpine convent,
where he was given room aud place to
prepare to die in deccntly, and the old
brigand did not die, but called in his con-
federates, and ruled the very hospital
where he was being nursed for Christ
ian burial"

Of it because it is an article of "homo
