Throughout this contest your party have endeavored by all means and by every kind of argu- ment, — Scriptural (of which the Times is a great master), 52 A LETTER TO A WHIG MEMBER OF THE political, a...nd physiological, — both in public and in private, to undermine the morality of the people on this subject, and to infuse into them the belief that Slavery, though open to some objections, was not a wrong. Worst of all, the attempt has been made, from which your Address is not entirely free, to destroy the moral confidence, and lower the moral bearing of England on the question, by persuading her that she was herself still tainted with the guilt; as though, if she " bequeathed slavery " to the Americans, she had not also bequeathed to them the example of abolition, and that at no trifling cost ; and as though she were not yearly expending much money and not a few lives to put down the abominable traffic by which American slavery has been, and, if you can compass your object, will again be, fed.
