fraught with the deaiest calamities tn the

servant to keep the sabiiath day holy, hut
the chaige is given to the master, which
makes him obnoxious toCotTs displeasure,
if ho does not exercise Ins authority and en
force the obedience of the servant to his
will; snd our Saviour so emphatically com
mands scrvanti,, to be obedient to their mes
tcis; and I have no doubt but the elavery
of servants, under Gosel dispensation, was
as abject as the present slavery of the ne
groes in the U. States, as the word servant,
and the word slave, sre synonymous terms,
I therefore do really believe, that the Nor
thern Gentry tsre not only acting against the
true interest aud happiness of the slaves, to
the great injury or their masters, but against
the decrees of Heaven and against their
own individual interest, and to the injury
of all the inhabitants of the United States :
It is hard to conjecture what could excite
our northern friendMo t
hairnet
when we had been so long united under the
best and the happiest and most pro,erous
Government that ever was lormed. wnicn
has snTrred iMiell,xteirded itrterritfwtal

internal improvements,! highly respected by
all nations, 4r without over oppressing its cit

gacity is required in the appropriation of it.

with any such ffur,so remote from them, in
.hi. h the can have no benefit, when a mo-
meats rtfleclioa would! bring totheir viewObe
ruinous effect it must hsve on the Union. 1
know thst many false reports and misrepre
sentations bare been published respecting the
treatment and aituation of slaves, but if
all those reports weretrue, is there sny thing
in the principles ofour Government, in the
laws of nations or the la a of Gd. that

diant to Bond or Free, so remote from them
or can tbey believe that they have any right
to interfere with the domestic concerns of
other people, even their, Bearcat neighbors,
their best frieni or greatest" foe out of the
common course of law. The idea of es
tablishing Government,' prewopiwees that
every person ought to be obedient te the es
tablished Government, snd the Constitution
of the United Slates guarantees to its citi
zens the free enjoyment of tbeir property,
and is religiously bound to protect it from in
vasions or insurrections,and it is well known
that for a time immemorial elavery was
tolerated in the thirteen British American
Colonies, and the propriety of said Mere
lion bad never been controverted until long
since the adoption of said Constitution.
And be it remembered that at the corn-
mcneement or the Revolution, the white
inhabitants of the thirteen colonies, were
but few and much divided between Whig
and Tory, snd unprepared for war, having
no suitable arms or ammunition, no money
or credit abroad, nor other munitions of
war, and' m'aay tribes of Indtaos against -us
instigated, anil assisted by British emmisss
ries, we entered into a war against that
powerful and the moat warlike nation on
eirth, we being only about one fourth or
one unn pin tneir number ; but under a
firm belief that our cause of liberty was
just, we hoped for and depended on the
aid or a supernatural power in the contest,
which hope was clearly verified, and we
were brought victoriously through agarost
that powerful nation, which had abolished
slavery and m other respects was a patron
of morality and chriltianity, now is it rea
sonable to suppose that if such slavery was
not in some degree tolerated by the Almighty
that he would have brought us triumpluut
ly through such an unequal conteat:
'Let him that thinks he standcth take heed
lest he fall,"
and let them that interfere with Gowrrhon
tal affairs inconsistent with Divine instruc
tions, take beod lest they do more harm
than good, even to their favorites, and there
by incur the displeasure of Ibeir Creator.
1'he works of Creation aje too sublime for
the comprehension' vtf "Man; ; snd the various
objects and designs of the Creator mysteri
ous; but what we dally see of Ins works
are sufficient to excite our amazement. It
appears that the human race are created in
the image ol God, and placed herewith do-mini-a
over all uiher created beings on
thu earth, by which it might be inferred tbtt
sTl were created f. the use of man, be it
so or not, we find H asaba'.tlely necessary,
Hor evety Government, and even every pri
vate family, to have a bead to conduct Ibe
business of said family ,antl the others should
bounder their control or s state of anarchy it.
confusion ensue si snd as all were created
in Adam and Eve, they were cieated free,
but subject to fall, and they by disobeying
the edicts of their Creator fell from their
primitive rectitude and brought trouble and
distress on their progeny, and as there is a
variety of classes of human being that
have eininated from Adam snd F.ve, there is
tic doubt but those, classes have been lorm
ed or permitted by their Cieator in the plen
itude of his wisdom, to answer some partic
ular purpose, and each individual Ought to
try in the sphere in which they are placed,
to auswor the purpose lor which they weie
created, as they sre by their Greator placed
here as (ree agents, in a state of probation,
to try their fidelity, and are to be rewarded-,
or punished, according to the deeds dope
in the body, winch was s great display of
no rey, insure and wisdom, in the Creator.
as he ih Cierehv not only adored by the hap
py. hut glorified by -just pnrunhrnent of the
wicked, who had slighted his mercies and
udiuonitione,anil voluntarily brought destruc
lion on themselves; and by the disobedience
4 our oret jafe4iiti sou tne reoeiiious kjoi
atry ol their posterity, all the evils we sul
fur in this mortal life aie brought upon us
ps individuals snd ss a nation; and as , God
is the Creator and Governor ol the Universe,
and the great arbiter of National events,
and by sacred writ we are informed that, lor
i he wickedness of the people, he has des
troyed Cities with firj and brimstone, do
iuged Ibe earth, destroyed its inhabitants by
plague, pestilence and taminn, and by war,
and permitted the prisoneis taken to oe
made slaves, and the patriarchs and best ol
men were permitted lo own servants, where
slavery was as abject as that of the Ameri
can negroes: to take into view the curse of
God on Cain, Ham and Ishmacl, and many
hundreds of false prophets, and millions of
men slain in battles dec under the immedi
ate control of God, is it not probable that
be might be more compassionate on others
and inflict a punishment of a lower degree;
and as whiteif Jhe emblemof-inoociince,
arid black, the eml lem of guilt, it is reason
able to believe that God ( who alone had
the power) did stamp the colour on1 those
who committed the roost flagrant Iraosgres
stoae as emblematical rbircnmes, and
his displeasure, that they might be held in
perpetual sisverr; and tha situation, ctrcum-i
stances snd conduct of the Afiican people
abundantly sustains that belief ; but be has
bountifully displayed bis mercy and kind
ness towards tbe American slaves, by per
mitting their lots to be cast here in this
christian country, where their progeny are.

tbe calls of nature, sejl iheir-children al

snd sell them for the same purpose, having
no law to suppress such inhuman practices,
when the sufferings of the. inhabitants are
extremei tbey being almost naked and in a

to commit suicide; while the American
