"Law is not something wrought out by man's ingenuity, nor is it a decree of the people, but it is something eternal, governing the world by the wisdom of its commands and prohibitions." Again:-- "Whatever is just is also the true law, nor can this true law be abrogated by any written enactments." Again:-- "If there be such a power in the decrees and commands of fools, that the nature of things is changed by their votes, why do they not decree that what is bad and pernicious shall be regarded as good and wholesome, or why, if the law can make wrong right, can it not make bad good?" Again:-- "Those who have made pernicious and unjust decrees, have made anything rather than laws." Again:-- "The law of all nations forbids one man to pursue his advantage at the expense of another." LACTANTIUS says:-- "Justice teaches men to know God and to love men, to love and assist one another, being all equally the children of God." LEO X. says:-- "Not only does the Christian religion, but nature herself cry out against the state of slavery." THE VOICE OF GREECE. SOCRATES says:-- "Slavery is a system of outrage and robbery." ARISTOTLE says:-- "It is neither for the good, nor is it just, seeing all men are by nature alike, and equal, that one should be lord and master over others." POLYBIUS says:-- "None but unprincipled and beastly men in society assume the mastery over their fellows, as it is among bulls, bears, and cocks." PLATO says:-- "Slavery is a system of the most complete injustice." From each of the above, and from other nations, additional testimony is at hand; but, for reasons already assigned, we forbear to introduce it. Corroborative of the correctness of the position which we have assumed, even Persia has a voice, which may be easily recognized in the tones of her immortal Cyrus, who says: "To fight, in order not to be made a slave, is noble." Than Great Britain no nation has more heartily or honorably repented of the crime of slavery--no nation, on the perception of its error, has ever acted with more prompt magnanimity to its outraged and unhappy bondsmen. Entered to her credit, many precious jewels of liberty remain in our possession, ready to be delivered when called for; of their value some idea may be formed, when we state that they are filigreed with such names as Wilberforce, Buxton, Granville, Grattan, Camden, Clarkson, Sharp, Sheridan, Sidney, Martin, and Macaulay.
