What people will advocate freedom, with a zeal proportioned to its blessings, while 21 they view the purest republic in the world tolerating in its bosom a body of slaves ? In vain has the tyranny of kings been rejected, while we permit in our country a domestic despotism, which involves, in its 7iatnre, most of the vices and miseries that we have endeavoured to avoid. It is degrading to our rank as men in the scale of being. Let us use our reason and social affec- tions for the purposes for wh...ich they were given, or cease to boast a preeminence over animals, that are unpolluted, with our crimes. But higher motives to justice and humanity towards our fellow-creatures remain yet to be mentioned. Domestic slavery is re- pugnant to the principles of Christianity. It prostrates every benevolent and just principle of action in the human heart. It is rebellion against tJte authority of a common Father. It is a practical denial of the extent and efficacy of the death of a co^nmon Saviour. It is an uswpation of the prerogative of the Great Sovereign of tha Universe, ivho has solemnly claimed an exclusive property in the souls of men.
