Again, the slave is taught, in those Abolition productions, to consider all slave-holders, _cruel tyrants_! This statement, no man, with any regard for truth, or possessing the least information or reflection, will venture to affirm. How galling, therefore, must it be, for those conscious of rectitude, to have the crimes of others attributed to them! How would the Abolitionists of this City, or of Boston, like to have it proclaimed to the world, that _all_ the married men in these two cities are _cruel_ and _unnatural_, husbands, masters, and parents; because there are some persons in those places, who richly deserve to be so designated? Moreover, I am convinced that there are in these, our cities, _ten_ cruel and unnatural (white) parents, husbands, and masters, to _one_ cruel and unnatural slave-holder in the South! What think you of that, Mr. Abolitionist? I would recommend you to "cast the _beam_ out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see _clearly_ to cast the _mote_ out of thy brother's eye;" and to recollect the admonition of the sacred writer, "Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, _whosoever_ thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; _for thou that judgest, doest the same things_. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that _thou shalt escape the judgment of God_!" (Rom. ii. 1-3.) Let us now contrast the advice and commands of Christ and of his Apostles, with the advice and doctrines of Abolitionists-- The Bible teaches-- Abolitionism teaches-- 1. "Having food and raiment be therewith content." 1. Be not content with food and raiment unless you get free! 2. "Let _every_ man abide in the same calling wherein he was called."--1 Cor. vii. 20. 2. Let no slave abide for one moment as such, if he can get off! 3. "Art thou called being a _slave_,[33:A] care not for it."--1 Cor. vii. 21. 3. If you are a slave _never cease_ caring for it! 4. "If thou mayest (can _lawfully_) be _made_ free, use it rather."--1 Cor. vii. 21. 4. Whether thou mayest or mayest not (lawfully or unlawfully) get free! 5. "Slaves, be obedient to them that are your masters, _according to the flesh_."--Eph. vi. 5. 5. Slaves, be not obedient to your masters; but leave them as quick as you can! 6. "Slaves, obey _in all things_ your masters."--Col. iii. 22. 6. Obey your masters as little as possible, that they may be compelled to cast you off! 7. "Let as many slaves, _as are under the yoke_, count their own masters worthy of all honour."--1 Tim. vi. 1. 7. Masters are worthy of no honour or respect, but contempt and infamy! 8. "Let those who have _believing_ masters, not despise them."--1 Tim. vi. 2. 8. There are no slave-holders _believers_:--despise them all! 9. "Love them that hate you, and do good to them that despitefully use you."--Matt. v. 44.
