Only with the confi- dence that it is temporary, and while existing wrought mysteriously into some thread of a mightier destiny, does the fear pass away, and the faith prove itself just and glo- rious. And then the statutes and political constitutions which sustain the monstrous claim ! Tell me not of them. Sin is no better, because it has been enacted by King or Congress. Nay, the enactment contains in itself the prin- ciple which anmls and makes it void. I reverence Law; just for this reason ...do I hate lawless tyranny. The decrees of the Czar, by which Poland is rent and enthralled, by which Hungarian patriots are driven into exile, and the independence of European nations seems endangered, are entitled to precisely the same estimate with the decrees of Legislatures or the American Congress, by which the South is doomed to the enslavement of half its population ; by which our countrymen are driven to the alternative of sla- very or exile; and if they choose the latter, chased by the officers of despotism to the very line, which separates us from the colonies of an European monarchy.
