To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession ; they shall be your bondmen for- ever ; but over your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with . Rigour. " We introduce this quotation because it is equally applicable with that in the Report, though neither of them can legitimately be claimed as having the least bearing on American slavery. It may serve to show, however, that even Satan can quote scrip- ture,... and often' does it, " when he lieth in wait to deceive. " The appeal for funds with which the Report concludes in a 25 strain of rhapsody and poetry, though somewhat ludicrous, would be less objectionable if the society had informed the pub- lic precisely what they propose to do with the 20, 000 dollars which they modestly ask for the present year. How many tro- phies of immediate abolition will that sum procure? If we may estimate the character of their future expenditure of funds by the past, we must conclude that anti-slavery though they be, this whole amount is to be disbursed for printing newspapers, hand- bills, and reports like the present, and in employing editors and agents, British and American, to travel through the northern states, where there are no slaves, and denounce their fellow- citizens of the south as robbers and pirates !
