Mr. Robbies ; and now publish it, .as containing not only, hi a few words, the Abolition ist's Creed, but also, strong evidence.Jhat-there are some, even in the erV hot bed of thw pestilence, Who dare to stem the torrent of public sentiment ; ' "In connection, I think it ufyduty to speak" on a subject, though difl'etcnt from the objects commonly introduced in the nuljitt, yet otic, !ii m'y view. hav ing an important paring on the peace -and wellare of our country, bis is Anouiios. I would use the word according to the comniou understand ing at the present d y, signifying an immediate emancipation of all the Slaves in tlie Slaverholding Slates. Abolitionists jsay that this ought' to be done, and ji is their purpose, so far as it can be effecied without violence, to have it accomplished. These things ru, to be. lamented, though many. Abolition ists undoubtedly,, are honest mid consciemious in tfieir proceed iiigs. ' , ' The existence ol'Slavery in the land we all la ment as a great national calamity, and the principle of Slavery has no advocates iu J the non slave-holding States. Yet it does ejcist and was deeply rooted in tlie whole Order of society- when our national existence commenced. At the declaration xif Independence, every State had slaves rat the commencement of the present Government, all but Massachusetts." . ' . ; - H is said, with confidence, jWe cannot expect na tional prosperity if we tolerate Slavery. We have fuid great national prosperity, and our President, for ten Presidential terms out "of, twelve, lias been a slave 7 holder. And lie is elected entirely by the popular voice. - The Slave holding States,, viewing their Slaves as personal property ,-5vi!l not consent in any case, tliat the national Government shall interfere with the system and if they should, and adopt the measure of the .British Government, paying the owners tho value of their slaves, it would produce a national debt, the annual interest of which would exceed the wkole of the present expenses of the government. As no one proposes this measure, it would seem that nothing effectual can he done without conten tion, and if the free States should unite and press the subject nt abolition, it i the opinion of the most judicious and well informed persons, that tlie Slave States wou kl separate from us and our Union be dissolved. The consequences of such an event no human wisdom can foretel. We dould not expect them to be any other than calamitous in the ex treme. One thing is certain the condition of the slave would then be hopeless ; he would be ruined by his lricnds. : All these movements increase the rigor with wluch the Slave i hoiden I believe fully, tliat the present condition ot the Slaves in our country, is better, For the present life and the fife to come, than it would be if a general emancipation were to take place. I cannot perceive, after' a careful examination of the scriptures, that simply holding a Shiveas property is sinful in the sighf of G.od, A Hour people that goto the South, eit.her s Seanwsn or Meyianics, jiavc uia opinion without an exception that I have known, that it would be in jurious to the Slaves to change thejr condition, if they are to continue in this country, and they think it highly desirable for the people of the North not 10 interfere wilh the subjecj. If thta important JUfteuit subset can be teft to the ordinary course of events, as it has beon, we have reason to hope, through the favor of a merciful Providence for a gradual removal of Slavery, fn a about half a century, more than half of our country lavebeeu rehevcu from this evil, . Jji an equal period from this liine, should wise measures be adopted, wc may look- for its extinction through the and., it cannot reasonably be- desired that so great a change in our national character and condition should .Jake place iir a shorter period. But if we 4 cannot Wit tor such a gradual development pi events, if tho sabject is to be urged and pressed by the ree States, lb prospect, m every aspect that I can contemplate, is painful hi the extreme.
