_We should do much to vindicate the honor and truth of christianity._ Slavery is the _strongest_ hold of infidelity at the South, and a _strong_ hold at the North. It is so because, while natural religion declares Slavery to be sinful, the ministers and professors of christianity practice it, and defend their conduct from the bible. Such a religion, says the infidel cannot be from God. It is thus that the church is bringing into contempt and doubt our blessed religion. It would greatly counteract this prolific cause of infidelity, were all our churches, ministers, and theological professors, to embrace and advocate the true doctrine of human rights as it is set forth in the word of God. We should then hold up to the world, this internal evidence of the divine origin of the bible, that, being written in ages of darkness and despotism, it notwithstanding clearly recognizes and protects MAN as the possessor of natural, inalienable, sacred rights. Instead of doing this, many northern preachers of the gospel, are now blaspheming their religion, by saying that both Moses and Christ tolerated Slavery. _We should no longer uphold Slavery by recognizing slave-holders as brethren in good and regular standing in the Church._ We now receive to the table of the Redeemer, without one word of admonition, men, who at the South, make merchandize of the image of God, of their fellow-christians. What is still more astonishing if not more wicked, we receive slave-holders to our pulpits, to preach to us about loving God and MAN! Thus we practically say, that Slavery is consistent both with morality and the gospel of Christ. Were we Abolitionists, it would be far otherwise; for they do not think it right to lend the sanction of the church to such outrageous wickedness. Such would be _some_ of the happy results of the general adoption of our sentiments in the free states, if nothing more could be effected. But we doubt not it would issue in THE PEACEABLE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY BY THE SEVERAL SLAVE STATES. This is the principal object of our enterprise; and on a strong probability of success, we are willing to rest its character.
