19. "But emancipation under such laws would be an injury to the slave." Of that, the slave must be left to judge, because his is the right to judge. It is for him to say whether or not he will take shelter from a gang of wolves in the den of some very generous individual wolf. 20. "The interferences of abolitionists injure the slave, and make his condition worse." Then it was bad before. But is it worse? It would be very convenient for slaveholders to say So. But when are tyrants most likely to be humane, generous, kind?-When no one questions their goodness or their rights, or, when narrowly watched, and laid under the strongest motives to show themselves as they have affirmed themselves to be? 21. "Abolition endangers the Union!" The threat of separation is almost out of date. The North is not urged to recede from the Union; the South would not gain anything by it. A dissolution of the Union would be the death blow to slavery. 22. "Your operations tend to excite insurrections." This is a mistake. Insurrections are always excited by oppression, never by the hope of relief. 23. "They disturb the harmony of the churches." Precisely that harmony which ought to be disturbed, viz: harmony of sin. And what is the spiritual condition of the church, or any branch of it which cannot bear the plain and faithful declaration of the whole counsel of God? We must not rebuke sin lest it disturb "the peace of the church !" States, . Civil Condition of the Enslaved, .
