9. _Hate_ your masters, for they oppress you: and do _evil_ to them, for they despitefully use you! 10. "Love your enemies."--Matt. v. 44. 10. Your masters are your enemies, _therefore_ despise them. These few instances will show how different is the spirit which guided the sacred penmen, and that which now actuates the Abolitionists.--If there were no other evidences that Abolitionism _is not_ the cause of God, the foregoing ought to be sufficient to convince every man who believes in the divine origin of the Sacred Scriptures, and who is willing to submit his judgment to the authority of HIM, "whose ways are not as our ways, and whose thoughts are not as our thoughts." I think I have now fully proved my propositions, viz., "that the principles of Abolitionism are injurious to the slaves themselves, and are contrary to the express commands of God." We shall now accomplish to the fullest extent the professed wish of Abolitionists, and see what would be the probable result! Suppose I possessed the power of granting, at the stroke of my pen, instantaneous emancipation to all the slaves in America, and were this moment to issue the following proclamation: "To all whom it may concern, greeting! I do hereby command and order, that all slaves throughout the Union be instantly set free, and they are now free accordingly!" Let us now ascend in a balloon and take a view of TWO MILLIONS AND A HALF, of poor, ignorant, pennyless, men, women, and children, cast abroad on the world, without a home--without a guide--without "caution, prudence, or judiciousness!" Is not this exactly what you want, Mr. Abolitionist? What awful consequences must ensue! Not so much to the whites, but more particularly to the poor ignorant people of colour! Can that be called friendship, or charity, or philanthropy, which would lead to such a result? Those ignorant, poor, unprotected, people have now _liberty_! Will _liberty_ cover them--feed them--protect them--stop the crying of the hungry child--or the cravings of the famished mother? What have they given for this liberty; and what have they got by it? They have given up, _peace_, _plenty_, _protection_, and _contentedness_! And they have got _liberty_, with starvation, anxiety, and want! What a glorious exchange! What a profitable bargain! How thankful they ought to be, to their pseudo-friends, the ABOLITIONISTS!
